I'm with fnord... come on, guys. The deal is done. So let Deion move on, and don't turn on Seymour. I take it they were friends and coworkers, and Sey thought Branch would be back... You know how most of the time if someone is let go at a workplace, you just sort of laugh and go on -- but then sometimes you individually feel, oh my God they did WHAT? I guess that's what Sey's feeling.
Now I do have to say I thought Branch was being a whiney little beeyotch by the end, but screw it. Both Brady and Sey have been public about their feelings, which is pretty uncharacteristic for the Pats. Evidently they're feeling the stress of this one more than, say, Willie Mac or Adam. Or maybe it just seems that way at the moment of making a move.
I think Sey's just like Brady at heart, they can "get the rug pulled out" emotionally by something like this, but it's business and they know that. None of this seems to compete with winning for these guys - at least we (the fans) hope not.
I was surprised at Sey's comments too, and I'm sure the organization will get heavy handed about it if they haven't already. But don't go after everybody else because Branch held out and started grasping for straws at the end.
Hey, maybe it's 5, 6, 83 times worse because Sey was the reason Branch thought he could cash in? Regardless, time to move on and win some games. You reading, Sey?
