[TerpEagle]

Come on Predator...oops I mean...the Grand Predator.


Charles Kelly is gonna make him learn 5 things about Desean Jackson and give a speech about it like on Remember the Titans.

[Big Little]

Haha of course you will..

You don't understand how bad it gets down here

Mouth breathers, the lot of them

[DarnellJefferson]

Lattimer used to call me that all the time back at ESU

[TerpEagle]

Well now I understand why he acted that way.

BYE

[Big Little]

Told ya

That's shit it ridiculous

He needs to grow the fuck up

[Ground_Meat]

Publicly? I'm sure he'll make an apology.

{EDIT} - Well he's already done the apology on Twitter.

Privately? Tell him to take his head out of his ass and don't get drunk in public and say stupid shit because the camera is always on.

he's also done it through the media outside the complex...he sounded sincere, but who knows...


wow.

What a tool.

What a douche bag

[Melchior]

He got fined. They didn't say how much.

[Irish George]

could not disagree more

I think affects him more in the media and with the fans than with his teammates.

if Riley Cooper were a superstar you might have an argument. I'm not black but I still could not imagine wanting to block for this guy. there isno way to look past this type of behavior.

His teammates, knowing him, would probably just laugh it off as a southern boy who got too drunk. Personally, we don't know him or the kind of person he is, and as others have said, it's up to his teammates to decide.

You're not in that locker room and I'm willing to bet a lot of things that wouldn't be said in civilized society get said in there. His teammates so far seem to forgive him while the fans and media are outraged.

Maybe you disagree with the response but don't disagree that I predicted it.

[Irish George]

I'm wondering how you came to the conclusion

That it won't cause him much of a problem in the lockerroom. I'm pretty sure you're not in there either.

Did Shady's drama appear to cause problems inside the locker room? Did Vick joining the locker room cause any problems outside of fans and media going crazy?

If they did, they were kept quiet and/or didn't compare to how the media and fans reacted. History would suggest that an NFL locker room is very forgiving if you're contributing - and in fact most friends and associates of people who do stupid shit can be forgiving. Strangers with no real association tend to judge more often.

Cooper was a drunken asshole. Maybe he's an asshole in general as well. Regardless, I don't condone his behavior and I have no desire to associate with him but I don't have to associate with him and I don't know him on any personal or professional level. Neither do most fans or media, they're simply saying what he did is bad and making declarations of outrage.

The fact that it's racial makes this different from other instances - especially from a public outrage standpoint, but I have to think that players doing stupid shit happens all the time and guys aren't carried out of the locker room by a pitchfork wielding mob.

How long was Pacman Jones kept around? Bill Romanowski is a known asshole - to his teammates - and he was kept around for a long time. The list can go on.
