I knew Greg White's Arena League story and I had heard that he once worked at Best Buy between football gigs, but I didn't know he had bounced around the league so much.
"You know I got cut by the Texans [in training camp in 2002], right?" White said. "And then I was on the practice squads in Tampa, Atlanta, Tennessee, New Orleans, Washington, back to New Orleans and back to Washington."
And Chicago. The story also talks about the various odd jobs he held while he was in between teams. It turns out Kurt Warner's stocking-shelves-at-a-grocery-store story isn't so damn special after all.
White currently makes the rookie minimum of $285,000. But now that he's leading the Buccaneers in sacks and forced fumbles, maybe he thinks he's underpaid?
"I don't care what anybody says, that's a lot of money," White said. "I couldn't be happier. I go around saying, 'LG' all the time. You know the electronics company, LG? Well, my LG stands for 'Life's Good.'"
A good player who acknowledges he has it good is such a satisfying combination. A crappy player who says he has it good sounds like he's mooching off the system. A good player who complains that he isn't being fairly compensated sounds like a whiny bitch who doesn't understand the value of a dollar. With his attitude and work ethic, White could turn out to be one of the more popular Buccaneers in the next couple years
