Former Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen says he is done with indoor football on the heels of breaking his leg in a recent game.
Lorenzen took some shots at the owners of the Northern Kentucky River Monsters and proclaimed, “I’m done playing indoor football.”
Check out his comments from FortThomasMatters.com:
Lorenzen was placed on injured reserve for the year after breaking his leg, meaning he could not play for the remainder of the games left of the schedule. According to CIFL rules, if a player is not on a roster for two weeks, he is released and becomes a free agent. Lorenzen served as the team’s General Manager in 2010. He resigned that position midway through the year and turned in an MVP year for the River Monsters, when the team went 10-3 after Chitwood put together that first team in 7 weeks.
As for the River Monsters this year and likely the future?
“I’m done playing indoor,” said Lorenzen. “The injury had a lot to do with it but I’m tired of being burned by ownership. For once I would like to play football and not have to worry about pay, field conditions, equipment, all the crap that we have to. Guess it just isn’t meant to happen.”
Chitwood did not agree with that assessment. “I’m not sure where that is coming from. I had one of the best fields in the league. I had the best trainers (Beacon Orthopaedic). We had new helmets, new jerseys, water and Gatorade. Our shoulder pads were used, but I tried my best to make this good for the players so they wouldn’t have to want more. Was the field as good as it was in 2011? No. But it was still one of the best in the league.”
