I suggest he try the NBA first then after a few baby steps he can try the NFL.

This would matter if say, RONDO, who was at one point a very good 3 sport athelete... wanted to leave and play in the NFL.

Hey, idrinkdetergent, you do know that the NFL takes College Wrestlers and makes them offensive lineman, right? So why is it crazy for Glen Davis, who at one point was a huge football prospect, to succeed in Pro Football? He has the body, EVERY NFL team would work him out, he has incredible agility which is something that all the great NFL lineman have.

Hell, the story goes that the main reason LSU wanted him was becuase they thought they could convince him to play football.

I hope that Baby plays out his contract, maybe another one, and gives it a try... it's not like he'd walk away from a HOF NBA Career to try it out.
Yes it was a joke

And did Cassell, a man of many words, have anything to say after that?

I always wanted to see Karl Malone play tight end.  Of course he went the other way and gave wrestling a try instead.

The Hulkster got him in the end though

I played football with him 2 years ago and he could easily make the transition. TE, Fullback, OT, whatever. He has unreal hands and mobility.

Saban had a starting position for him at LSU whenever he wanted it.

Here's the frustration with Davis. Everything coming out of the Celtics camp has been about "we." The company line is that the TEAM is one unit and everyone is leaning on that.  

In Davis' case there's been a lot of "me" recently.

While this quote may be retroactive, the current message it sends goes against the ethos of the team. That's frustrating to see.

I think he's at the point where reporters are looking to him for the "story." While everyone else is on track, Davis is the person writers will go to for the headline. That isn't what you want from your 4th big. Especially one who is presently not active.

I don't like him constantly answering questions about himself. The only words I want to hear from this guy are "championship", "we", "the other guys", "winning", "I'll do whatever it takes to help the team". Especially when he's not playing because of a stupid immature incident. I've had enough of the Celtic version of Papelbon.

Yes, and if memory serves he was an all state football player in HS-- fullback, I believe.

Well don't listen and don't read his comments.  Honestly, people need to stop demanding things of these players.  He can answers questions if he wants. ::)

  After watching the video of Baby cying on the bench last year, I don't think he could be very successful in the NFL.

how can someone who's too injured to play a non contact sport talk about being in the NFL?
 
this is weird, who is even asking him these sort of questions.

Come on I'd call drunken car brawling a contact sport that he plays, apparently he's not that good at it though.

So fans should stop demanding that players put the team first and not create a distraction? This isn't an isolated incident. I'm tired of his act and honestly, other posters should stop demanding things of other posters.  ;)

Please enlighten me on how this is a distraction.
