I think VJ has a right to be grumpy about the contract situation. Did he handle it well? Probably not, but he is one of the best WRs in the game and he won’t be paid like it despite being a free agent. All due to a obscure rule in the CBA. Now his payday is probably going to be put off another year due to CBA uncertainty, and this in a sport where athletes have a very limited shelf life. Probably the last thing he wants to be get into a discussion about it with some dude he barely knows in a bowling alley.

Just let VJ bowl… All he wants is to bowl. And let the man who has rolled 300 cast the first stone at another man’s bowling skills.

Nobody has said that to him before, and since it was his first time hearing it, he wasn’t even tired of hearing it in the least.

Here’s why:

“Nice having you back on the field! Hope to see you again next year”.

Acceptable answers:
“Thanks” or “Appreciate it” or “Me too” or “Thanks for your Support” or “You’re right, let’s have a beer!”

Well, maybe not the last one, but, see how easy it is to come up with a normal, nice answer? He’s a professional. He gets paid what I will probably never earn in a lifetime in 1 year of work, because God blessed him with athletic ability and the will to help him work hard and be in a position where he can make as much money as he does.

But with great power comes etc. You have to be great off the field as you are on the field. Being a dick, a drunk driver, making dumb decisions, etc. has landed him in the position he is right now.

I understand the man must hate being asked the same questions over and over, but the way JG wrote his post, it seems like he was just being supportive and got a “leave me alone plebian” answer.

He doesn’t like the way VJ responded to him, big deal. Who knows how VJ took what he said or exactly what VJ meant when he responded to him. Thats what VJ gets for showing up at the event. He should have just said that he didn’t have time for it, but then he would have got bashed for not going.
“Lobshots” commented that Randy Jones was the best conversation of the night because he dropped f bombs every 4 seconds. I wonder if it would have been considered just as “cool” if VJ was the one dropping the f bombs.

People need to chill out a little, there are some people that you may not like and there are some people who probably don’t like you.

but that a pro athlie these days the sad thing is we all have to learn to like just the uniform our teams play in i been treader not well as well by mark Mcgiriue but like 1 of my teachers said not everyone will like u no marrer what u do so u have to be yourseif

lobshots here… as most of you have figured out, the conversation with VJ and Randy Jones was with me, not John Gennaro. nice to know that you all have an opinion on what I wrote in the same way I had an opinion on what VJ said. Since this post, VJ and I have spoken again… so, there are more developments… once I post about it, I’ll be sure to let you all know. cheers.
