If there’s one thing career athletes have trouble turning off, it’s their competitive drive. Whatever else in the world they may want, they always want to win. Or at the very least, as former Mississippi State defensive lineman Chris Jones put it at the Mullen 36 Foundation’s golf classic at Old Waverly on Monday, they don’t want to lose. Especially not to each other.
“Everybody wants to be better than everybody,” the current Kansas City Chief said.
Appearing as celebrities for the golf tournament, dozens of former football Bulldogs made their way to Starkville over the weekend and to West Point on Monday to support their old coach, and several more from a variety of sports volunteered their time and fame for the day.
