Meh. Is he a good Rapper?

No doubt. But becoming an NFL player, especially one with a promising career, so much has to go right - good health, favorable system, playing time - His focus should be on that tract at this time...

If I were a veteran player I'd remind him of those things and tell him keep developing yourself on the down-low, get your football career (and credibility) established, get paid, then do you...

Got nothing against his dreams, just think he should focus on one thing, do that well, build his credibility, then take on another project...

I would imagine that career is an off-season activity. I can't see it being a distraction whatsoever. Nobody is as involved in outside activities than Brees and it isn't an issue.

I agree AG. Didn't "outside activities" put the "Broadway " in front of Joe Namath. Did they make Paul Hornung less of a Golden Boy"? It's not the "outside activities" it's what's inside the player that counts.

Change your name, change your phone number, change your gender....I don't care. Just bring your game and don't be a damn distraction. The minute you become a distraction be prepared to change your address.

Ask Adrian Peterson.
