Chron- Arian Foster: ‘Yeah, yeah,’ players in the league ‘cheat’

Its not cheating. It is just over training.

 

He probably just saw/knew a bunch of players juicing back when he was at Tennessee in the SEC...those boys are BIG

 

We've had guys suspended for it. Duane Brown, etc. So...

Also wouldn't be surprised if he was embellishing this a bit to distance himself from what we perceive as a "typical" player to position the Arian Foster brand. His whole persona centers around his holier than thou, wannabe-artsy, quasi-hipster, intellectual schtick.

 

Naaaaaailed it.

I couldn't stand his tweets after a while. I seriously wanted to punch him in the dick.

 

I get tired of his shtick. He gets a free pass from the media because he's a good player. They are always gushing about how intelligent he is compared to most other athletes. Frankly, nothing he says really has any substance at all. He comes off as trying way too hard to me.

When is game starts falling off, fans/media won't be so eager to embrace this character he's created.

 

Hey Arian, I heard you like Egypt.

"Yeah, maaaahn, I love Egyptology, it's so deep maaahn".

Awesome, what's your favorite part about egypt?

"Umm, you know.. like the mummies and stuff. It's like, so deep maaaahn."

 

Dude was a Philosophy major. He'd likely run circles around you talking anything "deep"......

...man.

 

You're saying its JUST ARIAN Foster with the annoying "enlightenment" hipster shtick

and NOT 40% of all people with internet access?

 

There is some serious hate in this thread.

 

Almost as annoying as your posts. I seriously want to punch your snatch.

 

I like Arian and don't believe that his act is fake -- in other words, I think he is a fairly intellectual, enlightened person -- however the way he puts it on twitter comes across as extremely arrogant sometimes. A lot of it he should just keep to himself instead of tweeting.

 

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!! :grin:

Spoiler

 

The best players are the most arrogant ones.
Some are just better at hiding it, and some like KD are really good at proving otherwise.

 

i'm confused, i thought people follow someone on twitter because they want to read what's on that person's mind.

 

look whenever theres an "intellectual athlete" ppl start comparing **** that dude says to the words that come out a professor emeritus' mouth


he's still an athlete and his genius lies in football. he's going to say things not completely articulated and perhaps half-baked philosophical ideas that maybe make you go wtf?

and maybe he's created this persona out of his pseudo-philosopher self


who gives a **** ?

 

<br>
Yeah right, 40% is low balling the number.

More like every no life neckbeard on reddit.

 

I followed him on twitter for a couple months because I thought he was interesting. He's about as interesting as a door knob.

Maje Try-hard.

Good running back, seems like a moderately cool guy... but his persona is annoying.

 

You know how pro players aren't always the best athlete in their sport or exceptionally athletic? Well, you don't need to be a complete nerd to be intellectual. The media hypes up his intellect, so fans are quick to shoot it down when he doesn't match the hype. He seems pretty genuine IMO.

His attitude can be annoying at times, but we're all annoying to someone (someting Foster would actually say). A lot of other people love it and don't get tired of him.

As for juicing, usually a player will say something after being on a lot of teams or after being a long time vet. Foster probably shouldn't have said anything, considering he hasn't had a ton of teammates and has only played here.
