Bradford made the wrong choice by staying

Bradford made the wrong choice by staying

OK, let’s hope this has a Peyton Manning-like, no-harm-no-foul happy ending.
No one wants to witness a replay of Matt Leinart’s plummeting-draft-stock, baby-mama-drama, USC farewell tour.

Yeah, we have no choice but to root for Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford.
On Wednesday, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner announced he would return for a fourth season at OU rather than risk being drafted by Kwame Kilpatrick’s favorite football team, the Detroit Lions.
Bradford’s decision is equal parts inspiring, stupefying and bat-(spit) crazy.
Most draft experts had Bradford at the top of their Big Boards. The kid just took a one-year sabbatical from a $60-plus million contract and close to $40 million in guaranteed bonuses.
