I'm sure no one here really cares...but knowing what I've heard about TO "from the inside" and some of this is kind of public knowledge as well, TO is a fragile, fragile dude and I'm not sure he can really handle life without football. I'm not trying to make the Junior Seau leap...but it's kind of what I fear could happen

I care, I've never had the hate for T.O. that others here have, although I disagree with his attitude and penchant for being troublesome, but I respect his talent a lot. If he took the Seau route once he's completely done with football I'd feel bad. With that mouth of his I'm sure he could work his way into the media somewhere. He just needs to find a way to occupy himself. Besides with his bankruptcy problems I'm sure he could use the money.

I can believe that, but I have to say that I probably wouldn't be sympathetic in the least as far as he was concerned. Granted, I would feel compassion for the people who did care for him and for his children, but it seems like to me he doesn't interact with his kids or support them. I know this makes me seem like a asshole or some heartless bastard, but it's hard to feel sympathy for a man who's had it all and has blown it with choice after choice after choice. On more than one occasion, he's had the opportunity to do the right thing he always chooses to do the wrong thing.


On that note. According to this, his severance package was a mere $50 check...lol Took his ride away too..lol

Just a thought:

Stop idolizing athletes above their contribution to the sport. If they contribute to charities, great, enjoy the tax write-off. Then get back on the field. Fans will cheer you when you rock the B&G then forget you when you start to fade or demand you be cut (ex: Clinton Portis, Doug Williams, etc.)

I'm a grown man. No need for heroes....or autographs.

Well said and good post.

Back to the NFL.

Darrelle Revis won't guarantee he'll be at New York Jets' camp - ESPN New York


Why is this assclown still griping about his contract? He got a huge front loaded contract, and now doesn't want to honor the back portion of it. Eff this guy. So glad we don't have clowns like this on our squad anymore.

They should let him rot and fine him each day he misses mandatory practice and refuse to do anything until his contract is over. THEN, I would franchise tag him just to piss him off even more.

I'm normally in favor of players holding out when they've outplayed their contracts, but guys like this I have no sympathy for.

Yup I agree with you but what hurts for me about DG was he was a boy hood hero of mine and to find out he is a dick was kind of disheartening.

He's still one of my favorite players of all time.

I still remember watching those "NFL's Fastest Man" races and cheering for him to dust Tim Brown and James Jett. It was like watching MJ vs. Dominique Wilkins in a slam dunk contest, with Darrell being Jordan and winning every year.

[los panda]

i don't have much hate in my heart, i don't hate t.o. i wish him and his families the best

[Monkeydad]

I've been a fan of him since he disgraced the Dallas Star, even in a Philly uniform.





Playing in the Super Bowl with a broken leg gained respect too.

On a side note away from the T.O. talk, did anyone see this?

Brian Banks exonerated on rape conviction to work out with NFL teams - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

Banks, 26, told ESPN columnist Rick Reilly he is scheduled to work out for the Seattle Seahawks June 7, and has received similar interest from the Redskins, Chiefs and Dolphins.

Really sad story and I think this dude really deserves a shot somewhere. Be nice if the Skins can pick him up.

The 6ft 2in, 245-pounder boasts he can dead-lift 545 pounds and run a 4.6-second 40-yard dash. Gavin Macmillan, who trains NFL players and volunteered to work with Banks for free, believes there is a chance Banks can make an NFL squad, saying "you can see why USC wanted him."

there is a thread about this

[RedskinRat]

Listening to Garcon (on CSN) it sounds like RGII will have some really great feedback out there.

This season can't come soon enough.

June 1st cuts, any big names or has everyone been cut that matters?
