Smart Spanish VIII

“Realmente, realmente, no me preocupa la forma que mi equipo me miren.  Mi familia es mi primera prioridad.  No importa como la gente me mira.  El fútbol es el mejor empleo temporal que yo voy a tener en mi vida.”

Translation

“I’m really, really not concerned about the way my teammates look at me.  My family is my first priority. It doesn’t matter how people look at me.  Football is the best temporary job I’m ever going to have in my life.” (Plaxico Burress, 10/7/08)

    Perhaps you might offer up a translations of “Oops I shot myself in the foot and now I’m going to jail.”

    For those who do not know, this was the quote that Plax gave after he was suspended earlier in the year after failing to report to practice.

    Having to take his son to school rendered him unable to call his employer, who happens to pay him a small sum of money, and let them know he would not be coming into work.
