Get It

They don't and they won't for long.

Sergio and Terrence.

One was a Texas Longhorn, the other was part of the Tide's national champions.  They're both getting paid now (above the table) and I predict they are going to need to save some money while they can get it. 

'Cause I don't think either of them is going to continue to get it -the money- for long.

Sergio Kindle was a multi-tasking linebacker for the 'Horns. Terrence Cody is a behemoth who performed for Alabama.  You may remember Terrence from the locker room picture of the big critter with hideous man-boobs...that would be Terrence.  Both are members of the Baltimore Ravens now--both players, that is.  I am not referring to the man-boobs anymore, although they are now part of the Ravens, too. 

Aaaargh.... I'm having a memory induced blindness attack.

Sergio and Terrence should both save some of their big paydays, because they're neither of them going to be going a long way in the niffle (that's phonetic NFL). 

Sergio will miss all of his first training camp after sustaining a fractured skull while falling down two flights of stairs.  Sergio has narcolepsy.  Baltimore has a rookie narcoleptic linebacker with a fractured skull.

I had to write that last sentence just to see how funny it looks.  Do preseason fractured skulls count toward season stats?

Terrence joined his new employers' workouts a day late because he couldn't pass the physical on the first day, specifically the part that requires the player to sprint 25 yards and back, shuttles, with rest time in between.  Terrence manned up and passed the test on the second day, by which time he had earned the new nickname "Cheeseburger".  They might have put cheeseburgers 25 yards apart and spared poor Terrence the embarassment.

This whole sordid episode might have been avoided had the coaches been sufficiently foresighted to give Terrence the responsibility for keeping Sergio awake and reciprocal repsonsibility to Sergio to keep Terrence from eating himself into a separate zip code.  Sort of a shake and bake stay awake but skip the cake arrangement.

These two guys were the Ravens top 2 draft choices this past year, the pride of their alma mater(s). 

Zzzzzzz...urp. Zzzzzz....urp. Zzzzzz...urp.  Get it?
