In my opinion he sounded arrogant in his article. Not really anything to debate about. Just my perception of that piece.

Wow, a football player that actually has a life outside the sport, understands the bigger picture and knows what his priorities in life are, and people are going to bash him for that???

My opinion is that your perception is off...way off. U sound like the typical person who gets defensive about everything, even when it's positive, and is always subconsciously looking between the lines for something negative. And a few others up here seem to have that same mentality. Grew up around too many like that and unfortunately still have a few friends like that. Smh....

At any rate, I like how he seems to be a well thought person, especially coming from a league of immature, ignorant and uneducated sounding players who seemed to only go to school to become pro football players and not much else. Definitely refreshing to read. If he actually verbalizes as well as he writes, he should have a bright future ahead of him, post football. Good luck to him.

Try searching Mendenhall 9/11.

I maintain that he is a loser and a scumbag.

I hope to someday live in a world where people can have a different point of view without being demonized for it. Unfortunately, based on what I see of people in this world, there isn't a rocket ship that can travel that far yet to find it.

lol? Didn't you now just do the same thing to the people you disagree with that you're accusing them of doing?

Some of you are so eager to white knight someone it seems. This story is akin to that bitter guy at work writing an email to the entire company his last day on the job.

This isn't the first topic has been outspoken about either, may want to read his previous public opinions which are why some will respond the way they will.

Meanwhile Baron Batch, a one time teammate of Mendenhall, has also retired from football, and is a painter, volunteer, and motivational speaker. Just last week, 3 of his paintings raised 10,000 dollars for a charity.

But nobody talks about that lol.
