Faulk tried to stir some crap. Seymour, as he's done while with the Pats, responded like a professional and didn't take Faulk's bait.

Best wishes to Richard Seymour and many thanks for his contributions to the Pats.

BOX,

You are an extraordinary resource and it is posters like you who have kept me coming here for the better part of the last decade.
Thank you!

Faulk tried to bait Seymour a couple of times, but he wasn't biting. Didn't really say anything about the Pats or NE. No digs. Basically said the phone call to let him know he was traded wasn't the way he would do it but that is the way it was done. No sarcastic tone that I picked up either. Seemed fine. Good for him. Won back a little respect from me. He doesn't need to throw BB or NE with any platitudes but he was just respectful and moved on.

I'd rather have my job any day than theirs. But this whole "woe is me" stuff some of them try to pull is a bit much... Notice how none of them ever give up professional football to become "regular job" workers ? So... it must not be THAT bad...

Not to mention that whenever they decide they deserve a raise, they refuse to show up for work, and when someone calls them on it, they say "Well that's just business." Or how a guy has great years with a team but immediately moves to another team that offers him a few more bucks. "Well that's just business." Well it works both ways, guys.

Glad he didn't take the bait...a bit more respect back to him..but did Faulk ask him about that week away..when he wasn't doing anything??

I got the impression his performance/intensity dropped off when he got the big bucks.

As MoLewis rocks pointed out, Seymour could have remained a Patriot if he was willing to compromise. He found out no one is indespensible. He will now find out what it is like to work for a sh!tty organization.

Constantly the eogmaniacs opt for max money over a superior work situation.
