Athletes Say The Darndest Things: JaMarcus Russell

jamarcusJaMarcus Russell recently spoke out about his benching, and I couldn’t be happier.  It has been a painstaking three months since our last Darndest session.

Russell called his benching “embarrassing and unwarranted,” and promised a “totally different JaMarcus” when he returns.

Embarrassing and unwarranted?  What in the word do you call two touchdowns and nine interceptions in nine games?  Or what about a 47.7 passer rating?  That’s about the most warranted thing I have ever seen in my life, with you being the first selection of an NFL draft coming in a close second.
