Too bad some of his smarts didn't rub off on Ocho and MeShawn. But graduating college in 2.5 years? Dang.... |

BSPN much?
How about books over a most-likely short, debilitating, career as a mule for exploitive owners and a corrupt league that uses it's players up and spits them out as soon as someone comes along who can run the same time for half the money? |

I think Myron is suited make the best out of the opportunity if and when he's ready. Excuse me. Not opportunity, but multi-million dollar exploitation machine. I need to find me one of those, put in an application. I also need to add NFL player to my list of victims who make my heart bleed...at the very bottom. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Quote: | Ex-NFL player Myron Rolle chosen for Harvard neurosurgery residency
Myron Rolle’s NFL career didn’t last long, but he always made clear that he had higher priorities than playing football, and he’s just taken a major step in his real calling.
Rolle, a 2010 sixth-round pick of the Titans who also spent time with the Steelers, has been chosen for a neurosurgery residency at Harvard after he completes his education at the Florida State University College of Medicine this spring.
“Seven years of neurosurgery is a big deal, something I wanted for a long time, really excited about it. Today is just great, it’s remarkable,” Rolle told WCTV.
Rolle was a star player at Florida State who once arrived late to a game because he had an interview for a Rhodes Scholarship. He spent a year studying at Oxford between the end of his Florida State career and the start of his NFL career, and although he spent a couple years in the NFL, his primary goal was to become a doctor.
“Saving lives and helping people live a better life,” Rolle said, “that’s going to make life worth living.” |

People idealize the Rhodes Scholarship. And never look at its origins or its originator. Cecil Rhodes was an OG racist. And the founder of DeBeer's Diamond Company. |
