The More Judgmental Among Us Would Probably Call This Schadenfreude
Battle Red Blog —
Although this was a foregone conclusion, it's still really something to realize that David Carr went from the first pick in the entire NFL draft to likely being unable to get a job as a professional football player in less than six (6) years.
