We’re in the middle of the NFL free agent signing frenzy and I noticed where a number of players are talking to teams that they played for once before, but then left for greener, as in money, pastures. The case I noticed was defensive end Jevon Kearse who was released by the Philadelphia Eagles and was talking to his old team the Tennessee Titans about possibly coming back.
Here’s the point where the rubber meets the road as far as pride goes. The things that were said by both sides when they parted ways originally will be remembered and chewed over. If there were any hard feelings, they’ll be hard to swallow. The same for good times and kind words.
What it boils down to is, be careful what you say, as a player or as a coach, because is may come back to haunt you or it may be your ticket to success.

Yes, as the old saying goes “Don’t burn bridges that you may have to cross again !”
