Are the Winslow's without a clue as of late?

I remember Kellen Winslow when he played tight end with the Chargers as perhaps the best receiving tight end ever to play the game. He was huge for that time frame, had downfield speed, was a good blocker and he played a huge role in what I thought was maybe the best football game ever played (Miami vs. the Chargers in an OT playoff thriller).

Well now its his sons turn but he is not off to a good start. Last year, in his rookie year, he got hurt and missed most of the year. Now that was not his fault, he actually was injured playing on special teams so he could not have helped that. But then in the offseason, he gets seriously hurt doing stunts on a brand new motorcycle that he apparently did not really know how to ride yet and now he will miss all of his second season in the NFL. The guy has all the tools to maybe be better than his dad if he ever gets it together.

I lost some respect for his Dad when he decides to criticize the media for the coverage of his sons injury. Lets think this through Kellen, your son, after receving a huge contract and contributing virtually nothing his rookie year due to injury. Then he goes out in the offseason, with a new coach taking over the team, and blows out his knee doing stunts on a motorcycle that he just bought and admittedly did not even know how to ride, let alone know how to safely to stunts. And you criticize the media? Hate to say it Kellen Sr., I think you missed the point. Your son let the team, his teammates, and the fans down by getting hurt doing something reckless and stupid.

It will be interesting to see if the Browns try to reclaim some of his signing bonus due to the injury. I certainly think they should.
