Biggest a--clown tho was Jay Buhner. Even had a M's cap and just blew me off with rolling eyes and sh-t. He can take his truck and stick it.

Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

Linebacker Aaron Curry practiced Wednesday for the first time since May. He has been on the physically unable to perform list since his sore knees didn't respond to stem-cell treatment.

Wouldn't be surprised if you got bashed for saying this, but I gotta agree.

I agree too, they get paid millions to play the game they love and that money comes directly from fans. They should have the courtesy to take 60 seconds out of their day to take a picture. If it were a big crowd of people, I could see him being leery about it, but one guy?

Why not give a little something back to the people that support the shit out of you? They should be grateful that they get paid millions and keep a smile on their face everyday that they get the opportunity that they do. I know Marshawn is a little different because he is a little strange, and if he was on the phone he gets a pass for this encounter, but its still disappointment.
My boss met him in a hotel elevator at the pro bowl one year. Based on my bosses account, he was more or less a dick but also just kindof strange. Perhaps he is just a hard guy to get to know.
That all being said, what he has done for this team on the field cannot be overstated, so he will be rightfully loved regardless of what he does off the field...
