Do we even want Hazelton on the team???

How dare I ask such question you wonder?

I'll give you two reasons: Terrel Owens and Kellen Winslow!!! These are two great athletes that always seem to have a dark cloud surrounding them.

First, the Hazleton situation almost mirrors Winslow's college selection game. He wanted to go to Washington....his Dad wanted Miami and therefore refused to sign his letter of intent to become a Husky. Parents and son went round and round on where to go...and eventually Kellen followed Dad's wishes.

Kellen went on to a GREAT career at Miami, but his NFL draft process was a mess and then he decides to become the next Evel Kinevel and is out for another season. Just makes you wonder about the overall stability of the family and son's decision making process.

As for TO, well everyone knows his story. He is always bigger than the team. It is always about him first, team second. And the we know the long term success that has brought for him. If he would just play, instead of being a Soap Opera, he would be the greatest wide out ever!!!

Please understand that I don't wish any ill toward Vidal and his family. But they have let the process become a circus. I only wish him the utmost success wherever he decides to attend. How can this happen? IF he can join a team and put all "this" behind him to become one of the team members. And IF his Dad/family let the coaches do their job, and not interfere, then all could be well in the future.

But if this guy becomes another one of those football drama boys, be sure to remember that you heard it here FIRST. Your past never is far from your present....
