Actually, I think it was a good way to start his career.He made it clear he would have prepared to be in camp instead of at a paid promotional event. This should gain him some immediate respect with the veterans on the team, which can sometimes be a tough thing for a rookie to do. Missing the minicamp is a temporary setback in his development, but the way he handled the situation will gain him respect that will stick.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

I agree. The NFL scheduled one event, and the Packers scheduled the other. The kid was put between a rock and a hard place. The way he reacted is probably the best he could have done.Originally posted by JoemailmanActually, I think it was a good way to start his career.He made it clear he would have prepared to be in camp instead of at a paid promotional event.

This is a great point. If you include Trading Card companies like Upper Deck and Topps in your definition of the media. I'm sure Gum manufacturers, Rupert Murdoch, Peter Jennings, 33rd Degree Masons and the Tri-Lateral Commission are involved, somehow, as well.
"2007 Reebok NFL Rookie Premier, presented by EA Sports" to start working on his endorsement deals and player cards...
Wichard first notified his client last Friday that he had been invited to the prestigious Premier event. It is a huge honor. It's the first time players are photographed by trading card companies like Topps, Press Pass and Upper Deck in their official pro gear.
Jackson was thrilled, of course. It lumps him in the "Who's Who" of future NFL stars. But he passed because of the schedule conflict.[/quote]Originally posted by packinpatlandWhoever says the media doesn't have total control is crazy.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
