    I think a lot of people don't understand this about being famous. You can't just go to the Piggly Wiggly and go get some bread without having to take 20 pictures with Random people and you have to sign autographs as well. I could see where it could get old after awhile.

    So being famous doesn't allow you to do the things in the order I listed? Being famous requires you to have kids BEFORE getting married? Being famous requires you to knock up a tramp? I don't believe you.

    And yes- no way to be married and be the QB of any major franchise unless you are at least 35. You go to wayyy too many functions with women throwing themselves at you. Hell, you can make a woman poop in a litter box like a cat to sleep with you (story someone told to me on the lengths women will go to)
    Girls these days are pretty damn nasty!!!

    So where would he meet said girl? How would they date? Again, you're trying to act like he can just walk out his door and live a normal life. He hasn't known normal since he was 20 years old. Do you think he could just roll up into The Grille when he was at State and have a normal date? The answer is a resounding no. He would've been mobbed by kids and adults alike. It's the same thing in DFW, and really anywhere in America. He's the QB of the most valuable franchise in sports. He can't live normally or do normal things.

    I'm not going to get into a moral or religious discussion on whether he should've been married or not, it's 2026 and people live differently. You see a lot more people that have kids that never got married in Dallas than in Ackerman, MS. I'm not saying it's common but folks don't walk around shamed if they have a kid with someone and aren't married.

    There was an interview that Nick Fitzgerald did a few years ago and he talked about how crazy it was when he would go somewhere in Starkville with Dak. He was basically mobbed. Our fans should listen and I wish I knew where the interview was.

    Here is the disconnect. Society as a whole, yes there are exceptions, view biblical principles (morality) through the lens of the society, meaning as society changes or degrades, so does the average view of the bible. This is totally backwards from those of us who are born again (notice I did not say Christian as this term is abused these days) as we view society through the lens of the bible which never changes, as scripture says there is no shadow or turning in God, he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and his word on how we humans are to live does not change.

    I am sure it is hard to live a "normal" life and date being as famous as Dak is, but if he were to live as the bible dictates, his life would be a lot less complicated - he would not be in the personal/relationship mess and probably financial mess as well, he is in now ... Others do it - The Mannings, Tim Tebow ...

    The Manning's? LOL. You have obviously never heard the Walker Jones urban legend.

    I cannot speak to any of the other items but I would be completely and totally shocked if he were in any type of financial mess.

    I still remember the shift. Like Dak was popular when everyone would go out in the 2013 and the spring of 14 but it wasn't like he was mobbed. He could move around pretty easily and a bar wasn't overrun the second he walked in. The shift happening when it did saved us, and him, from some really bad publicity right before the season opener against USM. Shout out Pita Pit. IYKYK

    I actually remember going out after we beat South Al in Mobile the week before LSU and I was with some of the walk ons and Nick at Gringos and Dak walked in. He could still move around pretty easily and I'll never forget I turned to one my buddies and said, "I hope he enjoys this because when the clock hits zero in Baton Rouge next week, nothing will ever be the same."

    $1,400 cap in that state? Wow, I hope dak isn't doing only what's required for his kids.

    Me and the crew were there Spring 2015 in the Veranda talking to Rockey and Rod when one of Dak's playmates came in. She was a grown woman- as in 28-32 years old grown. She was losing her shit because Dak was off playing with another. Rockey had to talk her down. She was looking for him all over town.

    It's going to be really tough to actually date when you are THAT level guy. Peyton Manning met his wife the summer before he entered college and went to different colleges. There is no way in hell Peyton didnt have his fun at Tenn. Eli also met his wife in college. Dak? Didnt meet his wife in college much like Tom Brady didnt

    I had a bunch of friends that went to UT during the Peyton years, one of them played football. I was also in law school at om during the Eli years...the thought that those 2 guys were faithful to their significant others during those years, at least, is LAUGHABLE!

    I believe this. But those are choices Dak made. Choices. Being famous doesn’t force you to fool around with the grown woman. Choices.

    Ron White talked about this one time using Tiger Woods as an example. He basically said everybody wants to bang on Tiger for the women he messed with but nobody wants to acknowledge all the women he turned down. 80% of women in America would bang Tiger- married or not. When you get ofered a hundred times and only accept 1- that means you are doing right 99% of the time.

    Fair point. But it also means that all 100 times (99 no and 1 yes) were choices made.
