Former NFL player Rashard Mendenhall discussed his unique approach to retirement. Instead of holding a press conference, Mendenhall penned a piece for the "Huffington Post." This unconventional mode of retirement announcement has now set a trend among athletes, with many choosing personalized and creative ways to retire. Mendenhall's article, which he likened to a hit single for a musician, garnered significant attention, leading to writing opportunities and even an invitation from HBO to write for the football-themed series, 'Ballers.' Mendenhall reveals how a candid discussion with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, the star of 'Ballers,' taught him the importance of having the right team for achieving success. This insight prompted him to reassess his surroundings, and build a new team for his writing production company.
I really like how this man didn't let 1 bad moment of his life define the rest of his path... he has a such calm demeanor that im glad he is at peace with eveything he has done !
I know I let that happen to me lol
Yes he’s very chill and has a calm
demeanor about him
@Doodoomaister nah bro... you're worth more than 1 mistake ! Only God can judge you.. everyone else can just talk lol
He’s a real chill racist, cool
i wish they will bring ballers back ... that show was so good
It got stale at the end. Good shit tho. Nostalgia
@@davruck1no it didn’t
I miss Ricky Jerret 😢
Ballers was a under rated series!!
A good education will never decay
The secret to success is include God in everything you're trying to do. Also keep your faith, and don't give up on what you are trying to accomplish when times get rough.💪🤙💯
That’s actually right. It’s so hard to do when you’re consistently beating yourself up though
Nah
🙏
There are some atheist and agnostic people who are successful. On the other hand, there are some people who are very religious and are not successful.
@@RonnieM90 devilish people are rich and poor. so whats your point?
Well spoken guy
Rashard Mendenhall is amazing. What a thinker.
The team The Rock fired was the team that was putting him movies like Tooth Fairy, The Game Plan, etc.
Then well deserved 💯😭
The Game Plan actually did well financially. Tooth Fairy did not do as well, but it still did OK financially. On the other hand, Black Adam and Jungle Cruise are considered box-office bombs. I feel his career really blew up after his roles in the Fast & Furious movies. Those movies have done well financially. I think The Game Plan also helped because it showed his versatility.
No knock to lil boosie but I feel smarter after watching this video. Really need more of these. Very intelligent, well spoken black man. Much respect brethren.
What a humble and thorough dude ...much respect to Rashard!
Mendenhall a great talent in football, but even more after the life of football. Much Respect! Not mad about that fumble anymore.
he's only 5'11". His hands are massive. Boxer hands.
I like how calm and careful he is with his words
Say whatchu want about dwayne but the man is gettin it🔥positive thinking is key.
Mendenhall really did retire pretty quietly, he was still playing in 2013 and then pretty much disappeared without a trace when 2014 came around.
I need him to tell me the secret too 😂
The writer? Right on, Rashard!
Great interview. Interesting guy
RIP Franco Harris 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Shout out to Mendahall for helluv career and amazing sports transition … with that said the GOAT Barry Sanders set that trend with a Fax and dip off to London retiring at the top of his game and a year before breaking the rushing record so to my recollection he set that fade to black trend and considering his popularity it’s understandable why it wasn’t as quiet as others
One controversial Tweet sent this man on an interviewing tour and I’m glad to see this side of him.
What tweet?
Loved that show. Ballers. It was real good
Dwayne Johnson is part of the Matrix. That's why he's succesful.
Dudes hands never stop moving
Pretty sure he had some kind of issues talking and getting his point across when he was a kid, so I’m sure that was a way for him to get his point across and maybe help him converse. He reminds me of a former colleague of mine who would always use his hands when conversing with anyone. I do remember him telling us he had some issues growing up and his younger brother would stutter but he was very intelligent. Always has some bright ideas.

Proof that Vlad waits to talk,
instead of listening to someone
speaking.
The Sunday that Kap kneeled if that following Sunday if every black player would have kneeled it would have changed everything
What Franco and those that think like him don't acknowledge is that Colin Kaepernick didn't bring anything different to the game of professional football.
He just refused to celebrate the anthem of a country that facilitates and often embrace racism and bigotry!
His protest had nothing to do with football!!
The anthem itself was written by a slave owner who wrote it while engaged in a actual battle to protect the institution of slavery!
This anthem was NEVER intended to represent or recognize ANYTHING that existed outside of ideology of separation and segregation!
We only acknowledge the FIRST stanza but if you read it in its entirety (all 3 stanzas) then you would see that the language in this anthem is defiance against freedom and equality for Black Americans.
Ballers is such a good show and it just doesn't get the credit. Casting was amazing and Rock did some of his best acting in this show. The switch to skating was kind of bad imo. But Russell brand was awesome. Highly recommend if you're in sales or if you're just on the come up, and let's face it, we all are

T. Suggs and me....
Dwayne and I....
' writer ' !
This is my first time seeing this man, and honestly i really like his demeanour and how he articulates his self..... No homo people...😏✌
Why does he sound like he just got a fresh cut after waiting a whole 2 months
HE TRYNA BE "WOKE" AT THE WRONG DAMN TIME....DAMN POLITICALLY CORRECT.....GO OFF ONE TIME!!!!
I Miss BALLERS 😢😢😢😢 that was my Shyt!
He gave an Pu***y ahh answer thor on KAP.... F*** the GM an The Owners been gettibg paid for 100plus years off a Ni**@
Thank You for fumbling in the Super Bowl against GB.
Vlad censored that cough 😂
I agree, Colin Kapernick sacrificed his career for his stance. He continues to get clowned by both white people and even his own race, even though the stance that he took did make enough of a difference that it made the NFL take a quiet step back.
If he knew he would have stood tall
If he wasn’t put on the bench would he have done it🤔
Colton never gave af until he was irrelevant
What change did he bring.?
Love MLK 😊
Get to the racism bowl question lol
I told him to retire in silence
He must have whispered that secret so softly that mendenhall wasnt able to hear it
Sports are an escape from all the bs ! Thats why i play em , therapeutic af, when your on the field you should be focused on the game and doing your part , Politics have no place in sports
🔥🔥🔥
This mans playing style was nothing like his demeanor
Your role model is wrong.That is the most unselfish thing to do He risked his whole career and livelyhood for the benefits of others.His role model who said that is the exact opposite.He is the selfish one because he would have put football over things that really matter in this world.All those ppl who say, don't bring it on the field, there is a place and time for it and yada yada yada , those are the ones who are selfish.They are selfish because football is more important than actual lives and their suffering.
Thank you.
Yea I definitely lost some respect for Harris. He was able to get an opportunity to play because of the sacrifice people of color made.
Please do not get on that casting couch brother!!!
He did leave quietly.
Calmness 😂
Lost some respect for Franco Harris. Life is bigger than football. I’m surprised Harris had that perspective considering what athletes of color had to go through during his era.
Completely different from how I envisioned his personality being…
Somebody get this guy hands a ssn and a mouth
I appreciate him not taking the opportunity to trash Kaepernick on that last question-but that Franco Harris perspective is an ironically selfish take on Kaepernick’s choice to kneel. Since Harris is basically saying that Kaepernick’s choice to risk millions on behalf of millions of poor people-is more selfish than Harris’ choice to keep his mouth shut and do what he’s told…for HIMSELF a few rich men.
I’m sure it made perfect sense when the rich man signing his checks explained it to him.
Bra I'm glad to see we not blind. Franco was basically saying protect Master and his interest at any cost. For the fake team and glory. The same team where teammates will hit ya wife if the opportunity was there lol
@@LEGENDTVEEI think it was Gil’s Arena I was listening to maybe a week ago where Rashad McCants was sayin that. Hadn’t even made the connection til u mentioned it.
Your intro sounds are evil! You must be making mad money lol!
Goodell Must be removed!
Make football great again!!!
His speech pattern is kinda like Obamas 😂
Ask Katt williams he know the secrets
Random af.
When he got labeled a conspiracy theorist his career was over
Last 🤬
Could have not fumbled. Easy way to put it
The rock…….. who is this guy 😂
This is the definition of elevation 🪬📈

Try being a Jew if you really want to know what discrimination and pain feels like.
🎻 🎻 🎻 🎻 stfu bro - people like you are the problem these days. Keep your stupid ass opinions to yourself & go cry to your mum for sympathy. 😂
Where do I sign up to be a jew fella?
@@LoneWolf-kg8wq you need to be of a Jewish mother. I think you can go to a synagogue and ask them to help but you would never truly be accepted as one of us. I think that's what Trump's daughter did to marry her husband.
There's still time to delete this bro
Were you dropped on your head as a child?
He talks like my man Trump with the hand movements when talking lol 💯👋🏽
He's soft
want to blame everybody for his fumble in the Super Bowl
Weirdo
🙄🙄🙄
Ur a clown
