Pats claim WR Michael Floyd

Great stuff from Mike! I hadn't thought about the angle that he played for Charlie Weiss at ND - - there's the voice that may have been whispering in BB's ear.

Did he whisper to BB only??? NepotismGate!

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm not sure his purpose behind the message has anything to do with leadership.

TB12 is a creature of habit.

They just put up almost 500 yards vs the # 1 defense in football. Hes playing very comfortably right now

Its the middle of December and the team is dropping another WR into the mix that Tom has no familiarity or a level of comfort with.

Might be a bit of an allergic reaction, IMO

Time will tell.

As always in the midia today, is a bit exaggerated. However, in a perhaps lower degree, he has a fair point.

EDIT: If he had said something about his personality being lazy or disinterested, he could have had a better reasoning

What is the lower degree?

What if he was found to be conducting insider trading and was fined by the SEC $50k. Should he be blacklisted?

Personally, I think the NFL and the league needs to do what it needs to do to conduct business. If the law says he can't play, fine. If the fans says hes despicable, the teams should take note and act accordingly. IMO morality and the NFL do not mix.

Asking your opinion. Not trying to pick a fight. What is your threshold?

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Not up to par on the incident. That would make it better, IMO.

But he has bad behaviour. The consensus in Arizona is that he doesnt really try hard.

well, if that's the case he won't last two practices with Brady. If not, maybe we have a mini-Moss.

That's funny, he had no problem taking money from Jim Irsay and he was found drunk and asleep at the wheel with a bag of cash and another bag of prescription drugs, and oh yeah, his mistress died of an overdose in the apartment he was paying for.

The Colts are the biggest scumbags in football, they need to shut their pie holes.

I expect TB12 simply wants to express support for his current teammates. I'm sure he is not upset about another dangerous weapon for his offense, but his first allegiance is to guys who have been there all year with him.

When I saw this, my first thought was "Colt Ape" and then I immediately thought
"J-E-T-S"

I don't think hes upset at all. I think hes"managing" Floyd's expectations and now he needs to acclimate to a new receiver but setting the expectation that the receiver needs to acclimate to HIM. With that said, after losing Gronk I think Tom is all good with as many top-notch receivers as possible at his disposal.

To get into Tom's good graces, you gotta earn it- just like JE11, Hogs, DA and seemingly MM.

I'm not saying that I believe this is the case : but what are the chances this is actually BB deciding he's willing to pay 1.3M$ for a 2018 draft pick ?

I would say thats just an added bonus to the signing they are really thin at wide out. When Hogan went down they were screaming for Matt Slater.. no thank you. We need another Wide Receiver without Amendola.

If the guy can play in 30% of the offensive snaps from the Jets game on, thats a good signing. I saw the guy play and he is definitely pretty good. Its a matter of can he pick up the play book or not.

I doubt he will see many targets thrown his way.

Furthermore, many states prohibit Uber/Lyft from picking up from the airport outright or force them to charge the same livery fees as Taxis/Limos..

Oh the taxi mafia is pulling this crap in the States too?

A trip from my home to the nearest international airport here is around 240 BRL, I used Uber for the first time in July, 3 AM (even more expensive fare in the taximeter) and paid 80 for a much better service.

But in the trip back home could not call an uber because the app was blocked in the airport area.

That's pretty much how I see it. Basically his way of saying, "We're coming down the home stretch, it's his job to catch up, cuz we're not slowing down to accommodate anyone."

 

[n1997y]

Does he have any blocking skills?

From what I've been reading, yes.

Playing with Marvin "6 Gun" Harrison didn't seem to terribly bother Saturday.

Saturday is a high horse riding piece of crap.

Floyd needs to learn from his mistakes as does everyone else who has ever been alive.

IF he gets a DUI while signed with the Pats I'm sure he's gone the next day and should be.

To me there is a difference between a player who screwed up and only hurt himself and one who screwed up and hurt others. Floyd hurt himself. He screwed up. He's got another shot. I hope he makes it. If he had killed someone else in the incident it would be another story. He could have but he didn't. I hope he learns and understands how lucky he is.

 

[n1997y]

I agree, can't wait for them to bring back the death penalty for DUIs or even better Prohibition.

Bring back the death penalty for Prohibition? ! I'm all for that.

Good luck to him
