"With that being said"

Referring to your former teammates as "brothers"

Seriously? I hope you’re joking. As a man of faith I see no problem using a Bible verse at a pivotal moment in one’s life. Or any of the others for that matter. Are you 12

You know the hypocrisy is rich when God is dead in our society, but football gonna keep the faith alive. Lol

Is it supposed to mean something that you identify as a "man of faith"? That's as wishy-washy., middle-of-the-road as you can get. "Man of faith" means nothing. All that matter is what you have faith in.

I'm opposed to most uses of Bible verses in these circumstances b/c they are almost always taken out of their biblical context. It's like athletes using "I can do all thing through Christ", as if the Apostle Paul was concerned about a college football scoring a TD.

“Respect my decision”

 

[RayneXM]

“Respect my decision”

This and "With that being said" are definitely the top two for me.

 

[18IsTheMan]

“Respect my decision”

Ooh, good one. I missed that one.

 

[18IsTheMan]

I like how they write a big paragraph gushing how much they love everyone at and everything about their current school and how they have nothing but good memories. Then say "with that being said I'm leaving."

People of true faith have always been a remnant and will always be a remnant. That's not news, nor is it any reason for despair. It's just the way it is.

13 “Enter through the narrow gate [Jesus the Messiah]; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." Mat. 7:13-14 (NASB)

How about the entire transfer announcement itself. Just go. You are not that important. The fans that you are leaving don't care. Most of them are going to dislike you for your decision to leave anyway. There is nothing you can say to buffer the blow. It's like sending an ex and autographed picture of yourself after you leave.

Man of faith…… Yard_Pimps??? that screen name could use a little splaining

This was a thought I had also. Why such pomp? It's like the people who post on FB that they are leaving FB.

No explaining because it doesn’t mean what you think it means as no negative context whatsoever with my screen name but keep trying. Some of y’all are some real Karen’s. Caring this much about what 18-21 year olds say. Y’all old geezer buts need to sit down and let them have their time and do whatever they want. I would much rather a young man use a Bible verse and know he has been exposed then not but y’all do y’all. I don’t buy the whole God doesn’t care about sports. Sports have saved a many of lives and created a pile of philanthropy.

I like that just fine.

All I asked for was a little explanation. It is incongruous. All I got was no explanation, self righteousness and judgement.

Nickname for a chicken that’s all nothing more.

''after much thought and soul searching'' - well you must not have done that the first time around!

 

[18IsTheMan]

On the flip side, I'll add that schools should knock it off with the super cheesy photoshoots of transfers/recruits sitting on a throne that looks like a lame high school prom prop.

I agree. Social media is a dream come true for narcissists.
