NothinButDaHorns34 Posted Tuesday at 05:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:47 PM Football shouldn’t be the concern right now with him. It seems getting his head right and taking accountability should be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u look at the mugshot he’s grinning like it’s not a big deal. He will be back in the slammer not long after he gets out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 100% still in the picture. Look at all of the people they still allow in from college or who do even worst things that should be in prison for years and they’re just collecting $100m paydays.

WOW.... if there was ever a " can't have it both ways" situation, this is it. So the "theft" is for $100-$750... have you seen his Instagram? Definitely not struggling.. so there's more to it than what you read. Anyhow.... let's hope he gets his life together and just leave it at that. This is the type of stuff that happens when you're young, and it's typical of people, especially in today's climate, to only care about the people they care about. Sad for Johntay... but even worse for us older adults acting worse than children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the "I'm a man, I don't feel things like a girl" tough guy assumption. Kid needs a strong mentor who will be honest with him and be harsh when needed. If he doesn't want to listen that's on him to not want to get his career and life on track. Whether if it's mental health issues or maturity issues that needs to be taken care of early in his life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be held to account. Crapping on him because he hurt your football feelings says way more about you than him. He’s a kid and hopefully rehabilitatable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbailey Posted Tuesday at 11:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:01 PM I read a report that he stole car keys from a drive thru employee. There could be more to this ,but imagine how childish you would have to be to steal car keys from a fast food worker. Maybe they know each other but either way it’s a very foolish thing to do. Hope he gets it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Credit Card was declined and he stole the employees keys. Then evidently resisted when caught. Maybe he has blown all that $ on his habit! Also Chip Brown reported he was snooping around players lockers at Washington trying to steal. Heard same thing happened at Texas and he was called out. Again he needs help, but facts matter sometimes while you can have compassion. Definitely more to it than what you read as well. To each his own on their compassion or not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of the Century Posted yesterday at 12:50 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:50 AM 9 hours ago, Jordan91 said: Him doing that was a sign of what was coming. Having another team reject him was probably what sent him spiraling quicker. It’s about him as a person. People around him need to care about him. Who is he if he isn’t a football player? He is no longer wanted by football. Somebody needs to help him realize his life matters. Football should have nothing to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of the Century Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Agreed. Sports is the toy department of life. His life is more important than being a football player. I don’t know Jontay Cook, so I can’t say what’s really in his mind. But I think too many football players think that football is all that defines them. I hope he figures out that is not true because it could be that football is now behind him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarveaux Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago It would be great if Sark could speak with him & get him back on track . A 5 star with all that talent. He needs to find a school where he can start . He’s not thinking straight now . He definitely needs some guidance. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
