Donnell Washington

[Travbrew]

So I'm at my bosses house helping him with some duct work on his new addition, and in walks his electrician. My boss says "Mr. Washington's son plays for the Packers". Mr. Washington (the electirician) sees my Packer shirt and asks if I'm a fan and all. "Of course" I reply, "I take it Donnell is your son?" Yes, blah, blah, blah (insert assorted small talk). Anyway. I've lived in Beaufort, SC for a year and never realized that's where Donnell is from. So the conversation eventually goes to "playing time" and how we both wish for Donnell to get more time on the field.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that I wasn't too sure that he'd be on the team, considering the shape he showed up to mini-camp in. Not to mention the lack of performance up to this point.
Mr. Washington said "last year when I talked to coach Sherman about playing time, he assured me Donnell will be alright."
After meeting his dad, I'm starting to wish he'd pull his head out and do something.
OK I'm done with my rant. Just thought I would share with you all. Oh, I went golfing after that. What a day.

Dad might be teaching son a new trade next fall.

wow - lucky you didn't say 'you don't mean that lardass who was benched through training camp, do you??? Lota guys I know think he'll be sparking up a spliff with Cleduis by the first week of September'

[KYPack]

Maybe he can teach him how to disconnect burgler alarms.

Cause he ain't gonna be a pro football player.

LOL...

Torrance Marshall's brother used to live in my bosses duplex. He used to say that the Packers should be starting his bro and he cannot fathom why he's not seeing action.

Family members are blind to reality because they do not follow the team. They listen to their family members and all of these duds usually don't understand what they did wrong to lose their oppertunity.

It's sad how clueless these people are. That is why it's nice to hear these new rookies who all talk aobut what a great oppertunity they have adn hwo they have to seize the oppertunity.

It's easy enough to say you've been given a great opportunity in getting drafted; it's another thing altogether to act like you believe it. Can't wait to see these guys in unis.

Johnny Jolly was on the 107.5 after mini-camp. Harry Sydney is an ex-player and one of those guys who spent a lot of time around winning organizations *Sanfrancisco during the good years and GB during the SB years*. He was telling Johnny to take this serious and to seize the moment. It was kind of touching really. Jolly responded by saying "yes, sir" "I understand" ect...You could hear the respect and sincerity in his voice. Say what you will, but I have a decent feel for people. I will say right now that Johnny Jolly will have a place on this team. He is going to be a hard worker and a real football player. He had the physical skills but he got injured. He slipped to us late but he has got it physically. Does he have it upstairs? He answered that question to me on that radio show.

Too bad for his Dad. Did he know Sherm isnt coach anymore?

[Travbrew]

Mad,
Funny you would say that, I got the distinct impression that he didn't know Sherman had been canned.

[Deputy Nutz]

How would his dad know if Donnell still doesn't know?


I think Donnell rolled into mini camp and was like, "oh what is this shit? Where the fuck is Sherman?"

hey Nick, wonder if TM's brother knew about, WTF was that girl's name on JSO that was shouting up how good TM was?? Remember that Jerry Springer - like thread!

Pricelessly funny ........disappointingly true.

Man, I wonder how long he will think his son is still in the NFL if he gets cut. Donnell should be more honest with his pops. Probably tells him he wears Jenkins # and got some sacks.

That was the greatest thread ever on JSO. I think the guy that kept threatening to go to the cops might have been the hacker. At the end of the thread we all kind of started making fun of him, and he said that he was leaving, but if we kept talking shit that we should be careful because he was a hacker.

I think Donnell may realize there is a new Sheriff in town and that he either needs to shap up or ship out. McCarthy is not going to enable him like Sherman did.
