That would be a great idea Gem, but these spoiled pro players anymore , I am just afraid he will be alllowed to play again & the Dolphins will just be out the cash.Well hopefully the NFL will do the right thing.Gem said:Actually, I like that idea a lot. Either he shouldn't be able to play ball again until his debt is paid, or, if he does go back, his salary should go directly to the Dolphins.
Gem said:Perhaps we should consider whether giving immature, young men such vast sums of money to hit eachother repeatedly and demonstrating an overwhelming eagerness to overlook any of their obvious issues if they are good at the game is creating an environment that encourages this behavior.
Maybe we should start demanding that teams (coaches, owners) take more responsiblity for the actions of their players...would that make coaches, owners, etc. think twice about paying an obvious idiot millions of dollars...would it make them think twice if THEY could be fined if their player misbehaved so egregiously?
That is a fantastic idea but i also agree with dilloduck....its all about the $$$ anymoreGem said:Perhaps we should consider whether giving immature, young men such vast sums of money to hit eachother repeatedly and demonstrating an overwhelming eagerness to overlook any of their obvious issues if they are good at the game is creating an environment that encourages this behavior.

dilloduck said:I don't think anyone was stopping him from "doing his thing" and I see no great heroics in his decision to have fun instead of making millions playing football. He's a non-story that CBS tried to make something out of--again.
hylandrdet said:Ok, That's an opinion I can respect. However, you must understand that courage is not defined by long termed decisions; it's defined by the reaction speed and the final decisons made by the person involved, when stressful situations force you to act quickly. Therefore, courageous decisions can be defined as neither good nor evil.
He'd confessed that he can't handle it; that's a form of courage, whether you like it or not. I didn't like his choice, but his reasons were honest.
This was blessing for the Dolphins. They now can look for a more dedicated running back, instead of investing millions into a running back who'll play half a#s football for the rest of his career.
