I can see some points about his health issues and get it. It's the crapola he slings after the fact that Arian is well noted for. It was Arian who once confessed that he took money and Tacos at 10essee, cause he had nothing to eat. Maybe the volunteer's scholarship doesn't come with a place of residence and a meal plan. Do you remember this?
QUOTE:
"There were plenty of times where throughout the month I didn't have enough for food," Foster said in the 90-minute documentary. "Our stadium had like 107,000 seats; 107,000 people buying a ticket to come watch us play. It's tough just like knowing that, being aware of that. We had just won and I had a good game, 100 yards or whatever. You go outside and there's hundreds of kids waiting for you. You're signing autographs, taking pictures, whatever.
"Then I walk back, and reality sets in. I go to my dorm room, open my fridge, and there's nothing in my fridge. Hold up, man. What just happened? Why don't I have anything to show for what I just did? There was a point where we had no food, no money, so I called my coach and I said, 'Coach, we don't have no food. We don't have no money. We're hungry. Either you give us some food, or I'm gonna go do something stupid.' He came down and he brought like 50 tacos for like four or five of us. Which is an NCAA violation. [laughs] But then, the next day I walk up to the facility and I see my coach pull up in a brand new Lexus. Beautiful."
I believe my follow up questions would go something like:
When you saw your coach the next day pull up in a brand new Lexus, did you ever think to ask him if that's the same type car he pulled up in when he was in school? When you left 10essee and signed your NFL contract, what kind of car did you buy? Could you ever imagine a 10essee student or even yourself with a graduate degree buying a Lexus?
I've been listening to Arian Foster for years doing interviews with the Texans and the only problem is that he keeps telling the world the painful truth, but only after he leaves the premises.
