He's also a helmet swinger. It's not like this is the only thing Brandon has done wrong. I played against him in high school and he was a punk.
Do I think he can and maybe already has turned it around? Definitely.
Do I think he's one hell of a football player? Definitely.
Am I glad we drafted him? Yes.
Do we have to take your word for him being a helmet swinger, or do you have evidence of this?
Wasn't he waving his helmet around too or was that someone else?
EDIT: Sorry, that was the other safety, Anthony Reddick.
Genius! You've played against him, yet you don't even know which one he is
Damn that Pioli and Belichick they should have talked to you firstI played against him in high school and he was a punk.
A lot depends on when he won those. Reilly hasn't always been like this. He has adapted to a change in media. Some writers continue to do their old job (conventional reporting) while others have taken on the role of personality.
I can't be the only one who used to start reading SI by flipping the back cover open to read Reilly. The guy is a good writer and has a nose for interesting stories.
He might still write great columns for all I know, I just personally can't get past his new persona and bother to read him.
Damn that Pioli and Belichick they should have talked to you first
Don't you think that they talked to a LOT of people who have interacted with him a lot closer than you and determined that he's not a big risk ? That's what Mortensen said most teams did.
But you played against him in high school . . . BFD.
Are you guys even reading? I LIKE the pick. All I'm saying is that he has character issues. How can you say he doesn't?
Given this, Reilly should have many job opportunities in the Boston media
All I'm saying is that I call BS, when it comes to your even knowing the guy.
and I never said I knew him. I said I played against him. He constantly talked trash(which is fine, I talked too, the difference is he backed it up and his team won 38-13).
What I am suprised about is that you actually listened through this chump's rants?I was just watching a little bit of Mike and Mike.
Rick Reilly was being interviewed via telephone. Reilly called Meriweather a "head stomper", then he said something about Meriweather "Returning fire!" then said something about this not being "the wild west", and "He's returning fire in a club!". Reilly then called Meriweather a thug, and said Meriweather was "one of the three worst guy's" coming out (character wise). He was completely disgusted with the move.
Reilly then went off about Randy Moss calling him a "lockerroom cancer!". Reilly said bringing in Moss is the reason NE will not win the SB, since he destroys lockerrooms. Reilly also said that Moss doesn't have his talent anymore, and he's clearly lost a step.
Here's a question for this genius Rick Reilly, how was Meriweather returning fire in a club when the incident took place at his house? I also like that he makes no mention of it being an assailante who didn't just shoot at him, but actually shot his roommate!
Prime example of the media not researching what they talk about. I guess spouting off without any regard for the actually facts is what gets ratings....
Rick Reilly has written some of the greatest pieces I've read. The one about four different athletes, and what do they all have in common? All soldiers in Iraq that were killed. It was a great, great piece. Some are duds (the billionaire cheerleader mom chasing her dreams, gag me ), but some are just great writing. I hope someone saves him from himself if he is going to try to play the uninformed cantankerous role previously played by most of the Boston media
