Let Him Play

Reggie McNeal is at it again...

After being arrested in Houston for accosting a police officer in street clothes outside The Red Door, Reggie is still associating with the classiest individuals of the NFL including Chris Henry, the poster child for poor pro-athlete behavior.

As an Aggie I can only hang my head in dissapointment after 80,000 strong chanted "Let Him Play" over and over during his freshman year at Kyle Field. Many thought he would become a great NFL passer and Vince Young would become a wayward receiver convert, but as it turns out, character does count for something. The squeaky clean Vince, who continually has developed as an athlete and a leader, left Reggie in the dust between his sophomore and junior year at Texas and has since risen to post Rookie of the Year honors last year in the NFL. Meanwhile, the only thing Reggie has posted since joining the NFL is bond.

It's sad to see someone with so much talent and promise make so many bad choices because of false pride.

Reggie, I hope you take this as a lesson, but let's face it, there's a better chance Dustin Long gets named starting center for the Charlotte Bobcats.
