Moffitt said he began studying the writings of Chomsky, the influential linguist and political philosopher, and the head of Tibbetan Buddhism while studying sociology at the University of Wisconsin. “I just really thought about it and decided I’m not happy,” Moffit said. “I’m not happy, and I think it’s really madness to risk your body, risk your well-being and risk your happiness, for money.” Moffitt said he planned to spend more time with his father and 5-year-old daughter, and he also intends to diet to shed some of his 319-pound playing weight.

Chomsky? That moron?

Chomsky outside of linguistics is awful.

reading chomsky made him realize he was unhappy?
additionally, this guy is a 3rd string scrub who takes zero hits, so also about his body.
Basically he had to show up and he would've made some serious cash...what a tool. I'm sure he'll go far with that sociology degree.

John Moffitt called the Denver Broncos last week from his Seattle home to say he wouldn’t be returning from a scheduled week off for the team because he’d lost his love for football and was no longer willing to risk his health

I've said it on this board before on got called crazy, but with all of the new studies their doing on player safety and head injuries in football, we are going to start seeing a lot more guys retiring in similar ways. Not in the middle of the season after reading a philosopher, but to save their health and bodies. Eventually it's going to be a good player too and it's going to be a huge story.
