Walking Away
"Imagine"
You're at the top of your career You spent years practicing and proving that you could be the very best, if given a chance. Just one chance.
Now you are the NFL Super Star, making millions, signing autographs, collecting millions more with your endorsements. And in that one brief moment of drunkenness and rage, everything you spent your life working for you just threw it away!
Your wife continues to plead that you were both just playing but today things are seen, filmed and posted on the Internet. Damned be the iPhone as you sit in jail charged with domestic violence.
Looking back, if you had one chance to do this over again, would you find yourself just walking away?
