Also in a center they maybe looking at leadership qualities now and worry over the summer about strength or understanding the offense better. Life isn't fair and often you will learn just because you feel you are the most qualified doesn't mean everything. Also, pick your battles wisely.

"I knew it would get around and I knew some people are gonna benefit from this," Larkin said Saturday afternoon in a lengthy phone interview. "I think while this could come back to bite me in a professional setting, I can honestly say I did everything I could the right way, and was honest about everything."

Not going to miss a guy that goes out the way he did. I think the bigger thing is how the other O linemen responded to his accusations. Makes this guy look like a disgruntled diva who decided to take a parting shot out of bitterness because he probably wasn't good enough to compete for a spot that he thought he was entitled to. Moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistleblowing or disgruntled? I hate the term disgruntled but it seems to fit in this case since it seems to be all about him and his starting time.

You know he really just wants a bigger sports outlet to pick up this story. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistle blowing should be used to describe something a helluvalot more serious than this being exposed, even if it is true ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
