(S31) PT 4 - Dirt

[Jay_Doctor]

Alright, I'll finally confess it. I faked an injury so I didn't play college football. I'm not proud of what I did, but I couldn't take the pressure of it all anymore. It's really really hard work being popular and good at sports, you know? Oh, you don't know? Well it is. Everyone excepts you to be perfect. I always had to be cool and I always had to be good at football. When everyone voted me most likely to succeed, I knew that this wasn't just a high school thing. People were going to follow my every footsteps for years to come and I just didn't want that anymore. So, I did what I had to do and faked an injury to get out of playing. At first, I missed the game. I was faster than everybody else in high school, though I knew there were others out there faster. I also hated playing quarterback at the end, so that was another factor. I'm not that kid that faked the injury anymore, though. I'm in a better headspace now. Being rich really and disappearing by sailing around the world really helped. Coming back to the game was 100% decision though, so don't let this dirt discourage you. I enjoy the game and it's on my terms now. I also don't have that major following like I did prior, so the weight is off the shoulders. Having my best friend Abed also playing really helps me enjoy the game too.
