Scott Sicko Is Not a Charity Case

Can you retire without ever getting drafted? UNH tight end Scott Sicko essentially did that Saturday after he failed to get taken on day three of the draft. He had numerous offers from teams such as the Jaguars and Jets. His agents even had a deal agreed to with the Cowboys at one point. But Sicko surprised his agents and the Cowboys with his response. If he wasn't drafted, he didn't want to play football. The Cowboys tried to personally appeal to Sicko, but it didn't work. "If I were to be drafted I would have had more confidence of a much longer career in the NFL," Sicko told the Albany Times-Union. "I have to look at my life and decide what will make me the happiest. And the thing that will make me the happiest now and in the long run is to pursue my education."

Uhh his name is Scott Sicko? I think it's pretty obvious he's going to join the WWE and become the new bad boy in wrestling. You've been blessed with a name like that, your cards are already on the table for you. Now it's world title or bust for him. And he's in good company with failed college football players who turned into wrestlers. I know of a guy named Bill Goldberg. Oh, and The Rock. Maybe you've heard of them. But the bottom line is this kid has it right. Sometimes you gotta know know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run.
