Diggs' Drama

It’s pretty simple to me. Diggs is the master of manipulating teams by posing himself as a “problem child” so that he can move on to his next payday. It allows him to get out of contracts, force trades and add bank. It’s all very calculated. 

 

I honestly don't think so.  I do think he manipulates teams to move on, but I don't think it's coldly calculated to add bank.

 

I think he starts out great in each new situation.  Then he starts to feel unhappy about this and that, and instead of working it out or letting it go, it builds to a big grievance in his mind, while his own behavior is never under an internal microscope and he never feels he has to apologize or make amends for a thing.  So then the grievance has one solution: GOT TO MOVE ON.

 

I think he misplayed his hand  a bit with Houston.  He accepted a 1 year deal because he was so certain he'd have a magnificent, 2020-like year with Stroud then be able to "make bank" this year with a final big contract.  Well, thanks to the Patriots, he did get a big contract, but looking at the details, it's not what he would have gotten had he had a big year.  It's basically like a 1 year, $16.8 M contract with a team option to keep him 2 more years.  

Don't get me wrong, it's still great money for a 31 yr old WR coming off an ACL injury.  It puts him 25th overall as an "average salary", so he's still being paid as a #1 WR.  But he was expecting, I think, to be paid as a top-10, maybe top-5, WR again.

Nah.  I think he's stump-simple.  He's a narcissist with a big ego.  He legit thought he "made" Josh as a QB and that he was right and Josh was wrong on every miscue.

Diggs was going to play with Stroud and put up just as big or bigger numbers, while Josh with a rag-tag receiver corps and a new OC would falter.  That's behind his "You sure?" response to a tweet about Josh not needing Diggs

 

Now that Josh won League MVP and the answer to "You sure?" was unambiguously "Yep" while injured Diggs missed half the season, it's in Digg's self interest to promote his successful years with Josh to say "hey, I played with the guy who was last year's league MVP and put up big numbers year after year, Pick Me!"

I was in no way defending Diggs or criticizing Allen, and I'm sure the former was a pain in the ass probably from 2021 on, if not earlier...just was guessing the moment it went from being manageable to a huge distraction.

I think you are right.. he was making the look what I can do for a young QB play... put up big numbers  say he did the same thing for Allen,  I can do this for you too...  and grab for the bag this year.. Didnt work out that way for him...

Whipping out the pink coke on camera like a pack of gum

His teammates weren't kidding.  Lock up your daughters, sisters and wives with this guy around.  Great talent, but seemingly very troubled and immature human being.

Add this to the reasons we are better without him here. Sucks, but this is the path he chose.

Evidently it's a highly inconsistent mishmash of chemicals.

 

But hey, it's pink, so the bag ho's will go nuts for it

Lol...the dumbest part of this by Diggs is he knows there is a camera recording lol.  

 

That being said, not sure how anyone could discipline Diggs here.  I haven't heard of Pink Coke before, but regardless of what it was or wasn't, not sure how anyone can prove it was if Diggs denies it and says it was something else.  

 

So I think the only person Diggs may be in the most trouble with is his boo Cardi B lol...although rumor is she was also on the boat, so maybe not lol

My favorite thing to do in the parking lot at Highmark is to ask the bootleg t-shirt vendors "ya'll got any yeyo?" and watch their heads whip around as they come over to bust out the real reason they're out there sellin' t-shirts. 

PS: We bought the "hash" in 2007, I'm pretty sure we smoked some kind of coagulated cleaning product remnants. 

Don't do drugs kids.
