Golf And War Cure All Depression

Yesterday, the Daily News finally got the story of why Eagles’ offensive lineman Shawn Andrews was missing training camp; he’s been battling depression. (Here’s today’s follow-up.)

We all knew that there would be at least one comment on Philly.com complaining that Andrews was a rich guy who was depressed. No sense even getting worked up about it (not that it would stop anyone). But who knew that it would be so freaking awesome?

Another millionaire who’s depressed! Let me tell you about my world Shaun: I am an Air Force reservist who has done two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. In between tours, I work a full time job, carry a mortgage, have managed to put 3 of my 4 children through college without them incurring too much personal debt, and now my fourth goes next year. You know what I get up every day, do my job, have fun and even occasionally get a round of golf in. I know it’s tough playing a kids game everyday and making a million dollers doing it but maybe just maybe you could get up off you fat, lazy, a__ and get to work. Depressed my a___!

Man, Shawn, can’t you just get on to the golf course and feel all better about yourself? The nerve.
