But it still doesnt look good for him or the organization to go on t.v. and make an ass out of himself. Another thing didnt he look like he put on a lot of weight? Is he tryin out for nose guard?

It always sounds like I am sticking up for the dude, but anyway. He has actually lost weight, like 15 to 20 lbs. he is closing the his playing weight of his first two or three seasons. As far as staying here, he worked his contract, however he wanted that contract to stay in tact no matter if the CBA was signed. Most or all of the players that re- worked the deals, their contracts were voided after the new CBA was signed. He wanted his to stay no matter what. Which the two sides couldn't come to an agreement on. So he bought is FA status. You can argue that either way, fact is he is gone lets move on and stop the LaVar threads. How about another thread on Ramsey and Brunell? oh, thats right he's gone too!! hmmm, how about who is better Taylor or Williams, that should be a good discussion.
