re: Anthony Jennings: "I wasn't good enough last year"

Absolutely. It's usually trashy people that do so, though, right? Losers who don't have a lot going for them such that they actually ascribe their emotional well-being and sense of self worth to the performance of amateur athletes they have never met. Those types of people deserve their own shitty, irrelevant lives.

People like Jennings who can overcome the adversity of their own fanbase irrationally criticizing them, or even threatening them, are going to be better for it. I've never been in that situation but I'd imagine it takes a special level of fortitude to be able to shoulder that burden and still give everything you have. Jennings deserves a lot of respect for the way he's carried himself so far.
