I doubt you'll see this guy get another contract here, especially if his game falls off any. He is slow afoot and slow between the ears.

When was the last time a tweet from a player was brought up here? Sherman's tweet about Brady? Do you think that no player in the NFL has made an idiotic tweet in the past three months?

It was a joke no more no less, I would feel the same if Peyton made the joke.

I love it. I'm glad especially that he won't apologize. Seriously, who cares. As he so eloquently said: "Is u don't like it just unfollow already damn." Indeed, Brandon, indeed.

Ah, yes. One cannot underappreciate a University of Florida undergraduate education.

Have you been taking some advice from Spikes and snorting the white stuff?

He has stepped up nicely this season to play in almost every game, with a sack and an INT to go along with 4 fumbles caused and 7 passes defended.

Before that though, he certainly wasn't setting the world on fire as he had never had a sack, an INT, or a fumble caused or recovered. He also came into this season with attitude, consistency, and durability issues (only having played in about 60% of the games in his first 2 yrs).

I think next year will certainly go a LONG way in determining the proper value for him in terms of what they will offer for a long term deal. Will it be closer to this year's production or the first 2 years? I also think there's a possibility that they will consider his overall attitude and actions into the whole equation. I certainly don't think it will be a deal breaker, but I think they'll want the kind of production that this year brought above anything else.

While they don't count in the statistics his two other sacks declared to be roughing the passer, need to be added to his stats in my opinion...

But, then again, I had been drinking in my visit to Gainesville and could be mistaken.

I like how you decided to follow up your terrible posting earlier in the thread with this not at all subtle brag. A+

I have found his tweets to be often inappropriate and offensive, with frequent vulgarities and misogynistic messages. But I just can't wait for him to get a free rush on Peyton....

CORRECTION: He won't suspend anyone in the league OTHER THAN a Patriot player. For the Pats he would make a certain player "The example" I think for Spikes this was done in very bad taste and ignorantly. Twitter is a wide open fish bowl where everyone can see anything and everything. There unfortuneatly are kids whose parents let them have twitter accounts and they read all this stuff. I think these celebrities just have to think that EVERYTHING that they are typing on that thing (Twitter) is going to be read right away by a kid.....Should they post it then? These celebrities/sports stars are unfortuneatly under the microscope and every Joe Douchebag media guy is just looking for something to put on the front page. Unfortuneatly Spikes gave them a juicy headline....I am sure BB and Kraft are reaming him as we speak.....

Stupid joke that he should have kept to himself.

This guy seems to be oblivious of the fact that as a professional athlete there's a decorum that is expected of him.
