1,000 dreams will die by 4PM tomorrow

Okay that’s a bit extreme but it got you here 😁

Good short mostly anecdotal article from ESPN on getting cut from the NFL. 32 teams have to get their rosters down from 90 to 53 by 4 PM tomorrow. Some interesting stories about guys who’ve hung around the league for years getting cut several times. For a lot of guys who’ve probably been the star player for almost all their lives this is the first time they’ve had to deal with something like this.

This is from the end of the article

Arizona Cardinals special-teamer Dennis Gardeck got the tap last preseason. Gardeck, who was an undrafted rookie free agent, was in the locker room when a staff member came up to him, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Scooby, come with me."

Wait, what?

The staff member had Gardeck confused with Scooby Wright, another 6-foot, long-haired linebacker.

"I was like, 'I'm not Scooby,' " Gardeck said. "I thought I was done."
