After leaving the Skins for more money (which is perfectly acceptable, after all it is a business), he should have been on his knees thanking the Redskins for giving him his career, and harboring no ill will. But instead, he acted like a spoiled crybaby.

That being said, the guy's a 30 year old, millionaire professional athlete. Are we honestly going to waste time with inflated indignancy over a fun time he was having in a strip club? C'mon, that's ridiculous.

Bingo. We lost two good players that year. Smoot went off and acted like reasonable person. So much so that after his debacle in Minny the Skins brought him back with open arms. Meanwhile turdnuts Pierce shows his ass to the whole world when we basically offer him the same contract that NY did and now he is proving what a "great" guy he really is. Eff him in the ear.
