I can’t justify what Marlon Byrd did, but I do get it. Anyone who engages in an athletic pursuit for any length of time reaches a point where his skills are not what they once were. For me, it was when I had to move to the over-50 soccer league because I could no longer keep up in the over-40 league. Hardly earth shattering, but personally traumatic. But not matter what you do, the truth is there in front of you. You can get by on smarts or extra hustle for a while, but eventually, you just aren’t good enough, and you know it before anyone else.
