WMDman Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Yeah, I don’t think a team signs him. After 2 very public “incidents” and being on the wrong side of 30 it’s gonna be tough for him I think. Thanks for your 3 years in the 716 tho RI, best of luck to you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwight in philly Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Always liked him.. glad he is doing well.. had he not been involved with J Martin , quite sure he would be getting more positive pub. Normally in this day and age ,people who have mental health issues are normally given the benefit of the doubt., but in this case , he is the perfect target to "kick when he is down" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ritchie has a looooong track record of being an a-hole. I hope he gets whatever he needs to stop acting like a maniac, but he doesn’t get a free pass from me.

RoyBatty is alive Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 This board never ever "disappoints". The guy writes a great letter praising Bill's fans and what do half the respondents do, dump ion the guy. The guy is going to be 35 in a month, he has every right to retire. He has made enough money, you think it would be healthy for him to keep playing, with his mental stability in serious question add on another year of CTE potential damage. Thanks for playing well in Buffalo Richie, good luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I didn't like Richie Incognito the man before he came here the 1st time... or before the Jonathan Martin incident, or after it, or when he signed here the 2nd time and I don't like Richie the man now. But, I know he has had and may still be suffering from mental health issues and for that he has my sympathies and I hope he is alright. The messages give me some hope he is on the right path. I also appreciate that he played his ass for the Bills the last 3 years, never gave less than 100% and (the game when Fletcher Cox abused him in Philly aside) played probably the best football of his career here. Whether another team is willing to look past some of his issues and focus on the football remains to be seen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Help is there, he had the opportunity to take it, and instead mocked the idea (and one person offering help) publically on Twitter. So, I see both sides. I can give him a bit of a pass based on mental illness, but can still fault him for rejecting the help so many offered.

Unfortunately one of the hallmarks of substance abuse and of certain mental illnesses, is the perception that one does not need help, or that people offering help actually have other, darker motivations. It's one of the things that makes trying to help a relative or friend with these issues so very very frustrating and soul-crushing for those trying to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
