As much as we need him in the lineup, I think its time to suspend him for the rest of the year... He never blames himself for his mistakes it sound...

I call all of the time when I'm late for work. I'm still reprimanded when I get there. It happens.

Just replied to Mike:

Mike, he's been living on the East Coast since he left College, he should know how bad the weather gets. 49 other players made it

Listening to the audio right now on PFW in Progress. AD said he watched film while he was home, "quite a few games."

Said he is trying to be a professional. Wants to clear his name.

Said he's dumbfounded with what happen but he just "rolls with it." Says he's the indian, not the chief.

Steered the discussion to Carolina at the end.

This puts to rest all the arguments of those defending him because of the snow yesterday.

Let's see, he didn't know it was going to snow.

Despite not realizing there would be bad weather, he manages to get to work only 9 minutes late.

This tells me that, had he known bad weather was coming, he could be into work on time easily.

Since it was his own mistake, does he acknowledge the mistake?

No, he makes excuses.

It's indefensible.

That is what is wrong with the defense , too many indians , not any chiefs...
