It's not every day that you read about a professional athlete who dabbles in Plato and Nietzsche. WOW he represents Xavier well ...

I'm surprised DW didn't mention Xavier.or Skip. But the writer wasn't going in that direction, either. Still very impressive. :mrgreen:

I wish they had edited the article so it didn't look like DW was interested in the philosophical meanderings of legendary Packers' linebacker Ray Nitschke.

I'd probably be more comfortable with DWest reading the meanderings of Nitschke rather than Nietzsche, the frickin' nihilist ...

You might have a point, Roach. When DW is banging with NBA centers and power forwards, the Nitschke philosophy may be more helpful.
