A college dropout makes last-ditch effort to hit big time

Can you say.... LOSER !!!!!

What a dolt. Probably has a tongue ring and a tatoo as well.

this kid strokes it all day long

Cut the kid a break. He has a job at least. He's no different than someone trying to make it as a pro in bass fishing or poker. Walk before you run. There's a lot worse things someone his age could be doing. And if it doesn't work out he said he'd step it up and maybe finish school. I say more power to him. At least he has a goal and a dream.

Yeah...he definitely should've stayed in college.

Why? A whole lot of people graduate from college and are still idots. They are just idiots who are 100k in the hole because they stayed in college.

no wonder why i always got my butt kicked in online madden!! lets play some flight sim games then tell me his reflexes are great. better yet...step onto the ice rink and try to stop 90 MPH slap shots from 30 feet away. anyone can get lucky and have Michael Vick "LOSER" throw a pass 80 yards and have a receiver catch the ball instead of dropping it. good for him. for his sake i hope he makes it in video games, b/c REAL LIFE will eat him up!!! I beat 300,000 plus kids my age to win a NATIONAL competiton on the football field to earn my newpaper article. bout time other do the same.

Go out and make friends and stop living a fake life on TV. From his looks, it doesn't look like he gets off his A$$ much.

This has GOT to be the saddest and MOST Pathetic stories I have ever heard. Stay in school kids!

grow up son

It's a sad day even in FL when newspapers report this crap. He's a dime a dozen , hell theres usually 6 to a house why didnt they interview them too?

Ummmm....Where exactly is the news, anyways?

Wow just what the planet needs...professional video gamers...that ought to assist the U.S. in competing with other countries...set us right up there atop the global market...definitely the way to change the world!

PC gaming is better. Professional console gaming sux0rz.

If i cant have a dream in america then whats the point of freedom? Think about that before you spit venom at someone you dont know.My life is different now. Dont be mad because i dont have to be up at six in the morning.
THANKS ANDREW.

for a second there he was starting to sound like every other f'n loser

ROFLMAO!

This is just the kind of America I am seeking to create. Now I just have to figure a way to get some tax dollars to him. I'll just have to take more from the rich and if that dosen't work I will just tax everyone who has a real job.

Wow! What a dream! Living on Mom's couch playing video games at age 24. He is living the dream? He is a LOSER!!!
Maybe he can get "DEPENDS" under garments to sponsor him. That way he won't even have to get up off the couch. His Mommy can feed and change him when he makes "stinky" in his shorts. Why is this story even in the Sentinel?

IT'S A FREAKING Human Interest Story whether you or anyone else in particular cares ... and obviously some readers do find it interestingly enough to comment upon.

Most people have this dream at 12, not 24.
