Would this fall into the category of ‘not a good career move’ by the gentleman?
Rudolph last played with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL in 2020, and is currently on the roster…not for long
Is this going to be blamed on a head injury, systemic racism, or white supremacy?
Good one. 🙂
FSU is famous for Law Degrees. Lots of real-time experience. (nods)
Of course Nike and Beats will continue to sponsor him until he has murdered at least 20 more people.
Something about them Florida Receivers and Tight Ends that seem more dangerous than any other position. Skill positions there now have a new metrics…
Holy shitballs.
Well always the usual suspects very predictable
I mean not really tho.. unless you’re just throwing out blanket generalizations… Dude actually went viral several years back for a good deed he did when FSU’s football team visited a middle school in FL. Rudolph sat down and ate lunch with an autistic kid who was sitting at a table by himself. Wasn’t planned, just genuine human compassion. Buddy didn’t have a track record.
I thought that was him. Class move back then.
Well I am glad to hear he did a good deed that’s what all decent people should try to do and I know a lot that do but 1st degree murder and attempt 1st degree murder don’t know too many of those
I think you’re missing the point lol.. “usual suspects very predictable” was what I was referring to.. All signs point to this not being predictable given his history and lack of criminal record. It’s not fuggin PacMan Jones we’re talking about lol..
