Pro sports are a different animal than any level before it. I don't think you can apply junior high/high school/college team chemistry dynamics to the NFL.Ace_Rimmer":jsvbi1al said:Earl was my favourite player until this. I’m sure most of us on this forum have played competitive team sports and we all realize how important the “team first” mentality is.
I love the way he plays, but this soured me in him because you never put yourself before the team.

Why stop now?
I thought what ET was unprofessional in its timing and publicity. Not overly concerned as his teammates can sort that out. Little concerned that a HC that has been flexible with the environment these big personalities work in continues to let the bubble get bigger. Maybe he has done so privately...
But I think the biggest issues with this team is the unchecked personalities of its bigger stars. When the wheels are spinning fast its just a calm humming.. but when they wobble its a whole bunch of squeaking. But, that's PC's style.. so here we are
Is PC's style the cause of our losing or is our losing the cause of our improved hearing?

If he really wanted to make it known that he wants to go the Girls, then covey that through his agent through indirect channels like most guys would.
Pete can say whatever he wants about this, but there is a real problem and the inmates are starting to run the asylum.
It's the same idea, it's excusing bad decisions which Pete LOVESSSSSSS to do.SoulfishHawk":2tqexvkj said:Well, if you choose to let it bug you that much, go for it. It was dumb, move on. And yeah, this is exactly like punching someone in the face :2thumbs:
