The name JeMarcus Russell needs to become synonymous with failure, if it hasn't already.
He's the first player to literally eat himself out of the NFL.
Alex C:
Considering this is the same league that continues to employ Big Pat Williams, that's saying something. I mean, look at 'im!
There's a reason why some people actually gave him some benefit of the doubt over the starcaps thing, and it's not all just blatant homerism. It's just easier to believe that a guy has a problem cutting weight when he looks so big that you suspect that gravy would come out if he cut himself shaving.
BONUS ROUND: Vince Wilfork!
Alex C:
BTW, if I seem especially vicious about NFL and weights, it's because I personally suspect that the NFL needs weight limits of some sort if they ever expect subconcussive trauma and heart disease to quit cutting the lives of NFL linemen short. Rugby isn't even played with helmets, yet they have less people dying young due in large part because their rules don't allow NFL style blocking and because every player is actually expected to be able to get down field. That means there's no need for 350+ pound specialists who exist only to ram into each other over and over again until they're drummed out of the league by injury and drop dead by 53.

While that's a fair point, Russell isn't a lineman, he's (allegedly ;D) a QB.
Though I'm sure you knew that.
Alex C:
I couldn't tell!
