  1. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...r-mistreatment/ On a day where many restricted free agents let bygones be bygones, Patriots guard Logan Mankins got personal with his employer. The Pro Bowler doesn't plan to sign his restricted free agent tender, and he wants to be traded because he says the Patriots haven't been upfront with him. "After the 2008 season, me and my agent approached the Patriots about an extension and I was told that Mr. Kraft did not want to do an extension because of the [uncertain collective bargaining agreement]," Mankins told Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com. "I was asked to play '09 out, and that they would address contract after the uncapped year. I'm a team player, I took them at word, and I felt I played out an undervalued contract." The Patriots hate having their dirty laundry aired publicly, especially by players. This is a bold step Mankins felt necessary after he says the team wasn't truthful. "Right now, this is about principle with me and keeping your word and how you treat people. This is what I thought the foundation of the Patriots was built on," Mankins said. "Apparently, I was wrong. Growing up, I was taught a man's word is his bond. Obviously this isn't the case with the Patriots." Ouch. This one could take a while. HAHAHA GOOD TO SEE ALL IS NOT WELL IN *PATS WORLD (Ummm does it not say "after the uncapped year" ? Mr. Mankins the uncapped year has not yet happened...) HMMmmm
  2. Yeah what the hell do people think we're gonna do if Fred Jackson goes down? Maybe one of the undrafted RB's step in and play half the game for Spiller? I doubt it...
  3. "He doesn't have to be here," Jackson said. "I've talked to him every other day and he's working, too. He's trying to get in the playbook as much as possible, get as many mental reps as he can. We all know that this is about what we can do and what we're doing here so that's what we're focusing on and I'm sure when he comes back he'll be ready to go." - FRED JACKSON You all need to get off Marshawn's nutzzzz! We're gonna need him...
  4. That's BS. I routinely terrorized neighborhoods with my TP as a kid. Didn't need to be halloween... Damn fine TP job I must say.
  5. Steve Johnson's TD against the Jests in NJ was a slant from Jon Losman...I remember vividly. 4 Yards. Woot!
  6. I just want him on the field. I don't care if he's not there for voluntary camp. We're better off with than without.
  7. Thanks! This literally made me laugh my f'n ass off!
  8. He wasn't a failure before...why do you think he will be now? I seem to remember him having a well over .500 record in the NFL with the Jests and *Patriots...Paul Allen will spend dough too...So I believe he'll have ample resources. That division is weak and the Seahawks will be good i'm sure...well...good enough to win the division anyway. Oh yeah back to original topic (sorry I think I have a.d.d.) i'd be disappointed if we traded for a player then cut him a month later...but **** happens.
  9. Great post. Come on back Beast mode!
  10. Because people on this board are holier than thou. They think their s--t doesn't stink. "Thug this, thug that." Sounds like some grumpy old folks.
  11. The Seahawks claimed former Central Washington University QB Mike Reilly off waivers two weeks ago to compete with Teel, but Reilly was released on Tuesday Read again guys.
  12. Unless you know the players personally you are merely speculating. TT can say whatever he wants...but he sounds like a hypocrite to me. How many DUI's does TT have? JK and TT aren't Gods they are just normal people like you and I.
  13. Thurman Thomas is and was no angel. Wasn't there a story about him rudely turning away a little boy asking for his autograph? Practice what you preach TT. Also...isn't TT a drunk? Give me a break.
  14. No, it's not Whitner's fault for being picked #8...who gives a sh-t...People who talk bad about him do so because he runs his mouth as if he's Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu. I would think the same of him if he was a 3rd round pick. His play on the field is blahhhhhhh...but yet he runs his mouth like he's the baddest mofo people have ever seen. To the guy who gave him credit for crying after getting beat and tackling that Raider after he scored. LMFAO!!!!! What a loser's mentality! God damnit I wish the Bills were a good team.
  15. From what i've read he's got a very good rapport with the Bills. Matt Roth though had a falling out in Miami and now in Cleveland? Something is up with the guy...
  16. Having DR for an agent isn't a bad thing...why would you imply it is?
  17. Brilliant! Thanks for the replies everyone.
  18. I know he refused to leave the game and pitched into the 7th inning...but cannot find the video. Anyone?
  19. I guess i'm the only one that made it halfway through and said, "!@#$ this ****" haha so impatient.
  20. Then they shouldn't charge $275 for a stupid jersey
  21. Because he's a f-ckin sicko that had sex with his SISTER.
  22. And you think he cares because? What's he made...about 50 million by now? I don't think it's a money motivated decision at this point in his career.
