Bears cut Ratliff after reported altercation with GM

Jay got his just desserts

The guy has serious problems, he likes to bite the hand that feeds him.

 

[Zman5]

Maybe he should look into joining WWE. He and Vince McMahon can go at it.

Anyone heard of this before?

They cut Jay? Or did they cut Jeremiah? At the end of the day, the name change didn't really bring about that fresh start. He did make it 2 1/3 seasons in CHI, though. That's not too bad, overall.

The Rat definitely appears to have his issues with authority figures. First a big blowout with an owner and now a GM. Seems like he looks for the big boys to fuss with first and foremost. Then again, he was never known to have a real pleasant demeanor in general, come to think of it. He's more than likely at a point in his career where his abilities don't leave him worth all the disruptions he causes. I think Jerry might very possibly agree with that.

I would really like to know what this was about. As a side note, I love Columbo. Wish he could still play. Would be beautiful having his attitude at the RT spot.

After playing in 17 games across three seasons in Chicago, veteran defensive lineman Jeremiah Ratliff's Bears career is over.

The team announced Thursday that Ratliff has been released, replaced on the roster by formerSteelers first-round pick Ziggy Hood.

Ratliff was escorted out of Halas Hall on Wednesday, per Adam Jahns of Chicago Sun-Times, after a heated exchange with general manager Ryan Pace. Lake Forest, Illinois, police were later kept outside Halas Hall after Ratliff was escorted off the premises.

When asked by NFL Media about the Sun-Times' report, a Bearsspokesman referred to their comment in their release on the Ratliff news.

"We felt moving forward without Jeremiah was in the best interest of our team," Pace said. "We appreciate his contributions and wish him well. We are also excited to be able to add Ziggy Hood to our roster."

Stand up guy, that Jerimiah.

 

[perrykemp]

Is he off the Cowboys payroll yet?

 

[Wolfpack]

He has to be bipolar

 

[CowboyStar88]

What a nut job this guy is. So glad we got rid of this dude. Assaulting the owner of the club or the GM is a quick way to never play Football again. What a moron

 

[Direwolf63]

All I can do is laugh.

I loved Ratliff's efforts for us before he got all messed up in the head. He played with attitude and great effort. I won't forget those years, but I also won't forgot the player he chose to become to finish his career.

Further proof that Jeremiah was indeed a bullfrog .
A very very angry bullfrog

Ours sounds like we released a JAG. Theirs sounds biblical.

 

[dogberry]

Does he get paid for the whole year?
