This video is a huge win all the way around. He is SUPER entertaining and if you dont listen/watch you definitely need to. His stories and insight in to the league are like nothing Ive seen before. Seems like an all around good dude, and seems generous as well...

Numbers arent out yet but its apparently worth a lot more than any special teams contract ever has been,


He should totally be on MNF, ESPN is stupid for not making it happen. The complete wrecking of Wilbon in the video is the icing on the cake.


Minor NSFW language in video


 
Ouch, taxman watching....but a big bag of cash makes for a much better video than sending a $15,000 check for 3 years.

Happy for Pat. It takes guts to bet on yourself. When the life around you (on paper) is already a dream, yet you know the reality of your desires is leading you in another direction, it takes immense fortitude to follow that unction. I have tremendous respect for any person willing to take an unconventional path toward their own fulfillment.


That said, I can’t hate on Wilbon for his perspective at the time. There’s a reason why Pat said he “bet” on himself. It’s because he knew he was taking a risk. Most people likely thought like Wilbon and if we’re being honest, many of us would have the same reaction if a loved one elected to forgo millions to chase a dream.

As I said, I admire Pat’s courage and hope to build up my own audacity to chase my dreams without inhibition. But I can’t give Wilbon grief on this one. However, I’m sure he’ll give me material to drag him over soon enough.

Congrats, apart. Well done, sir.
 
Ever listen to the Jim Rome radio show on the cbsradio/ Radio.com app? He has some interesting emailers. Isn’t this the guy Jim Everett went after back in the day? Lol
