I really wish him the best with the Bears. I don’t even care If the Jets go down in history as the team that let a soon to be great player go to another team. Not that I think thats gonna happen in the slightest.
Anyway the article covers just about everything you could imagine that was going on in his head during his time as a Jet. And Im sorry to say that the majority of the explanations he gives sound like excuses made by a little baby.
It sad really. All the potential in the world and he comes up with…
I was a team player under Eric but got moved around too much.
I had no stability.
Rex didn’t respect me so our relationship never started off on the right foot.
Wahwahwah.
And in the most telling part of the interview:
When “Asked if he got a fair shot with the Jets, Gholston didn’t give a yes or no”
If it isn’t perfectly apparent to him that he DID get every chance and “Fair shot” with the Jets then I don’t know what to say about the kid besides- I fell sorry. I feel sorry that he has to delude himself that much to feel like he’s getting his first real shot with the Bears.
You may think Im bashing him right now but I’m not. I really do feel bad for the guy. I can’t imagine what it feels like to be labled a bust. I can’t imagine the different things you have to do mentally to start all over. I hope he proves everybody wrong but reading this article just made me feel like his head is all screwed up. He may never amount to anything if he won’t let the excuses go and just compete.

who is he talking about, they guy who just got out of prison and is happy to be a free man and to even be in the NFL. Or holmes who went through his problems and came in and didn’t say a word and worked his ass off to be a captain. Or it must be derrick mason who has the problems I forgot i saw him doing situps in his driveway last week, i should have seen the signs.

I say we keep Cimini’s work off this site because he is an idiot. Clearly he has some vendetta against the Jets.
