Keith Fitzhugh declines second chance at the NFL!

According to Yahoo News Keith Fitzhugh has chosen his family over the NFL.  Keith was released by the Jets in September when he became a conductor for the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Keith feels like this is a sturdier job and would not want to lose it to play for the jets temporarily they only called him because there two starting safeties are out for the season due to injuries.  He does not want to risk it he has a good sturdy paying job now he would of took it if he knew it was more permanent.

Is he crazy? No he is not I stand beside was he has decided. I like that he is thinking of his family if he was going to have a chance to play beyond just the rest of the season then take it but its only temporarily. I don’t blame him for wanting to keep his family financially stable. Even thou he would make more in this last part of the season then he would make all year.
Do you blame him? I don’t I just don’t understand why the Jets cut him in the first place he is a really good player. I always have went by this if a team will cut you one time they will cut you again eventually and I fell this is what Keith is also looking at. He has a really good job that pays good right now so why give it up for a temporary job?
This is a lot of peoples dream to even try out for the NFL. I know it is mine! I want to at least make the practice squad! But I do understand his decision and would most likely do the same thing if I was in his shoes!  This is actually a really smart thing to think of before just jumping into it!

    ...what I WANT TO KNOW, is how you REALLY feel about FOOTBALL!! lol

    I'm sure it was a tough decision for this guy to make; ultimately I'm sure he followed his heart. When you have a family...you tend to have a heart transplant.

    Follow your dreams; I hope you get your shot at the NFL!! If you don't, it won't mean you failed. If you try and don't make it...it won't mean you failed. NOT chasing our dreams at all is the only way we fail.

    And the great part of THAT is...it's really never too late to dream!

    I would have loved to have heard your views on something that wasn't sports related...but then I guess it wouldn't be YOUR VIEW, now would it?!

    Best of luck to you! I'll keep my eye out for "Monty Wright" every year at draft time!
