Jeremy Jarmon, International Thespian


I hope you take a moment to read Tracee Hamilton's feature on Jeremy Jarmon in last Wednesday's Washington Post. The highlights:
- Before a positive test for a banned substance changed his plans, Jarmon was going to travel to France over the summer to work on his French language skills.
- He lived in the international dorm at the University of Kentucky to help develop his conversational French.
- Despite having graduated in three years with a political science degree, he was going to use his fourth year to pursue a second major: theater.
- He plans to enroll in the NFL's continuing education programs, because he realizes that at some point his football career will end.
The implications of all this for his on-field success or failure? Probably very little. But it's always nice to find evidence that many football players are not the meatheads we often presume them to be.

  2. So I pasted that into one of those online translators and it came back as "It higher pete than his cul." So either I found the crappiest translator around or this commenter is drunk. Or both.

  3. And the second one I found gave me "It pete higher than its bottom." So maybe someone can just tell me what it meant.
