The trouble with this kind of thing is that it's tasteless without even being...
...film sessions were the worst. Dim lights, droning coaches, horrible team - Kris Jenkins, rookie defensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers, just couldn?t stay awake. George Seifert, the Carolina head coach back in 2001, thought he knew why his second round draft pick seemed so damn lazy, why he slept 14 hours a day while his team lost 15 straight games. ?He thought I was on drugs,?
