Football is a brutal game and these guys give up a lot, mostly their bodies. I have no problem with what they get paid and the players are more than willing to take the chance to play the game because of what it can give you.

If I had the chance and was good enough, I would have given anything to play the game on this level.

That is shocking & pretty much disgusting.

I mean, its cool & impressive that he wanted to accomplish his dream despite the cost. & I love that he is such a warrior for the team that means so much to me. But it is sickening to find out things like this which reveal how this game/business is taken too seriously in this country.

I hope he, Zach, & every Dolphin who worked & sacrificed as hard as they did are able to live out their days in comfort.

It was quite a story when he told it. I heard it live. Funny thing is they were laughing all the way thru it.

You would never know it the way he moves during the game giving 100% on each play. I'll bet Zach has some horrendous stories, too. He always sacrificed himself for the game.

Jason & Zach, warriors of the game. They gave their heart and soul for the love of football and competing. When you sign up to play this game, this is the way it is.

Guess I could have never been an NFL player cuz I would have never done any of those things to myself.

Me too, I listen to the Dan LeBatard podcast weekly, just for the Jason Taylor hour. So many insightful stories. I wish they could get Zach on it more often.
