What is up with asante samuel?

[kevan2201]

Why is Asante Samuel such a hater? He just never stops with his anti BB and anti new England everything. Is there a back story to this other than him costing the pats the 19-0 season?

He is salty cause Bill did not give him the contract he wanted and lowballed him.

Empty barrels make the most noise.

He’s craving attention.

It's the opposite. He wanted out from the Pats after 2006 and was pissed Bill tagged him. He thought Bill was purposely holding him back during his time in NE so he couldn't get paid.

Asante seems to think it's a good time to go after Bill. As long as Bill keeps having seasons like he has without Tom, it will continue. He also hopes others will join in, but it hasn't happened.

He even ended up getting a bigger contract from the eagles In the 2008 off season.. so I'm wondering what his actual gripe is.. BB never cost him anything.. he cost the team probably the most important Lombardi in NFL history..

I beginning to feel like Asante comes here and posts under random names to keep us talking about him. Ugh!

This was in Doug Kyed's article in the Boston Herald today: "Gonzalez is absolutely correct. There’s an impressive list of defensive backs who have thrived in New England under Belichick from McCourty to Ty Law, Darrelle Revis, Stephon Gilmore, Malcolm Butler, JC Jackson, Rodney Harrison, Patrick Chung, Jonathan Jones and many others."

 

[Sicilian]

What's up with him is we give him entirely too much attention.

 

[jdlboot14]

It's really simple. Asante was a very good CB, who seemed to get too caught up in creating a brand for himself and comparing himself with the greats (the ghost of Ty Law). He got ****y (and lazy) and missed the most important "easy INT" of his life and wasn't resigned after that. So, he's had a vendetta against BB since. He should be eternally grateful to have 2 SB rings when he was an NFL infant, rather than spurning the Pats every chance he can.

 

[PATS16N0]

He wasn’t wrong though.

 

[Dr. Mind Flayer]

He needs to try less sodium in his diet.

Asante Samuel or Tom Brady - Whose loss has made a bigger difference?

Samuel or Brady? - Who,by not being on the team this year (by way of injury and FA obviously) has been the biggest difference between this team fighting for a playoff spot right now and a team that usually has some breathing room about this time of year? In september I would have easily said...

The Official 'Trade Brady' Debate Thread - Do Not Start Another One

This is going here for one reason and one reason only. I understand there are some who want to speculate, even though most of these same people were ready to kick Cassel out in favor of O'Connell in week 3 yet now they feel he should be a good replacement for Brady. There are also some who...

My bad if it's been brought up before I was legit just wondering if I missed something. It's weird at this point

Judon responds when Assante tweets about his contract situation.

 

[TBR]

Probably angling to get a job in sports media saying provocative things. Not sure if he has one already, although the more he does it, the more likely he lands on a more prominent show with higher pay.

I liked Eugene Wilson better, both were drafted the same year. Actually met Asante a few years back at a Fort Lauderdale restaurant and said hello. When he realized I was from New England by my accent he offered to sign a menu like he was doing me a favor. I politely declined and wished him well.
