ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- TJ Jones heard the news and almost immediately recognized that one of his non-football dreams is over. In the same breath, though, he understood that working with Shamu and killer whales is something he can accomplish.
Since Jones was a kid, the Detroit Lions wide receiver has always wanted to work with marine life, especially whales and dolphins. It’s a passion of his. So when he heard Sea World was changing its famed orca show with Shamu, he was crushed.
But he also understood why they were doing it.
