Sig1Hunter Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) That was GREAT. But, I wanted to hear what Tre was gonna say about that abomination in Baltimore the week before... EDIT: nvm..I just watched the whole thing. Hilarious! They talk about a lot of stuff. I guess Vontae just wanted the game check in Baltimore the week before.

I don’t know what happened but when I went to sign in for the first time it said my account was locked (how could I violate tos before ever even signing in?!). Then they wanted me to take a picture of myself with my drivers license to unlock it so I just never tried again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 What I like about this video is that it reminds me what good friends you make playing sports, and how much fun you have with those friends. Look at the two of them, seven years apart in age, from different parts of the country, played together for only two years, and you can see the bond between them. Sports isn't the only place where you can make friends like that, but it's one of the best. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) It has to be devastating when you realize that you just can't do it anymore and your playing career is over. I understand the retirement after going through the whole offseason thinking you can still bring it. None of us can imagine how that might feel, the finality of it. With that said, he should have gone to Frazier, taken himself out of the game and supported his teammates through the 2nd half. He could have retired after the game and people would have a lot more respect for it.... Edited April 10, 2020 by cage 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That was great. White's got the crackhead Chappelle character's voice down. I still get a kick out of thinking about someone in a car driving down route 20 listening to the 2nd half of that game only to see Vontae Davis pass you. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he rubbed anyone up the wrong way it tended to be the older guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have sympathy with him. I grew up with a dad who played pro soccer and I remember the mental anguish when the realisation dawned that it was over. It is easy for fans to laugh at but it is horrible. Where I have no sympathy for Vontae and where he absolutely deserved ridicule is retiring half way through a game. That is abandoning your team. Finish the game out, go home, come into the facility with all your gear on Monday and go and knock on the Coach's door and explain it like an adult. What Vontae did was childish and wrong. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he thought he was done, its hard to turn down the money, what else can VD do to make cash? There are not that many 5M dollar a year jobs out there. And don't think he is the the exception to sign a contract at the end of their career knowing they are not likely to play much, it happens all the time and is one of the things GM's need to think about/consider when signing guys.

He made it through OTAs and camp, and then the season started and after a game and a half he realized he couldnt keep up with the young players anymore. And for a CB, that is impossible to hide because you will get burnt over and over. And when you cant do it physically, the heart goes soon after. The only mistake he made was not waiting until the game was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even have a problem with him knowing at halftime. If your heart isn’t in it then you’re hurting the team. BUT, you don’t walk out of the stadium with no explanation. Tell your coach and teammates that you don’t feel right and that you’re costing the team by playing at less than 100%. I doubt anyone would’ve had an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have different recollections of the media narrative, doesnt make either one right or wrong and certainly not to be accused as not paying attention.
