Video: Demarco Murray Press Conference

[BlueStar22]

Sure. Great guy.

That called Chip Kelly himself and told him how he wanted to play in Philly....ALSO.....

"I felt that this was a great opportunity for me to win a Super Bowl, at the end of the day," Murray said Thursday at his introductory news conference. "It wasn't about the financial security or anything like that."

^Great guy. Cowboys basically won in Green Bay and Eagles were watching at home....And it's a "great opportunity to win a super bowl." He's a prick. I hope he gets injured the first play of the season. He insulted our team and his Oline by saying that.

I for one, vote that we delete the press conference. Don't care what he said in it to cover up the crap he said above.

It came out today that he returned Chip Kelly's call. This is per his father.

and people wonder why the modern athlete could careless about "fans".

I'll throw this in the ring.... Because we pay the salary.

I can't think of one instance where an NFL player ever said "yeah I left because the money is better here" Cmon.

Suh did it yesterday.

Suh: "I would say money was the most important factor" in making this decision.

Makes it a little better knowing he didn't call directly. It's the Dware situation all over for me.

Ok smart NFL players. I can understand Suh saying it. He denies stepping on players when it's on tape.

 

[BlueStar22]

Murray's best days are behind him I'm glad we're done paying for past accomplishments, we have a beast OL our running game will be fine

Murray could have one or two more good years. Crazy how many think he falls off a cliff next year. He had 1800 yards and has plenty of room for dropoff. I'd been happy with a 1500 yard season from Murray next year. Now that he's in Philly, I don't think he'll put up the great numbers he had this year. I know we're all pissed that he went to Philly, but lets not act like he'll fail to gain less than 1000 yards next year.

This play is becoming this generation's version of "The Catch"...

Or the drop:

 

[TwoDeep3]

They offered him more than a few more

Murray was offered 4 years 16 million. Beasley got four years and 13.6. So the league rusher isn't worth much more than the slot receiver.

They showed him no respect, just like the fans on this board.

 

[CyberB0b]

Ok smart NFL players. I can understand Suh saying it. He denies stepping on players when it's on tape.

He strikes me as a very intelligent guy. His father is a mechanical engineer, and his mother is a teacher.

 

[vaturkey]

I appreciated what D Murray did for Big D, but not sad to see him leave. Bring in AD!

Who in the hell is AD?? AP perhaps?

 

[BlueStar22]

I'm just hoping this turns into Kevin Hardy.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Demarco Murray exudes class - I already miss him.

Does Demarco Murray have a contract mechanism in place (i.e. a one-year 'no-trade' clause), or is there a league rule, that would prohibit the Eagles from subsequently packaging Demarco in a trade to the Oakland Raiders should Marcus Mariota be available at the #5-overall draft position?

He strikes me as a very intelligent guy. His father is a mechanical engineer, and his mother is a teacher.

Strikes me as very dumb football player.

Also Chip Kelly said he called Murray. Murray didn't make the phone call. Murray is a good guy. Many of the folks on this website sicken me. Let the fellow have his money and lets move on.

 

[NeonNinja]

He's full of crap. Claiming it wasn't about the money, but his chance to win a Super Bowl.

Yeah, that's a lie.

 

[Stash]

Everything else aside, don't lie to all if us and say it wasn't about the money.

It's always about the money!

Even the Philly reporters at the news conference weren't buying the great chance to win a Super Bowl crap!

 

[BlueStar22]

Also Chip Kelly said he called Murray. Murray didn't make the phone call. Murray is a good guy. Many of the folks on this website sicken me. Let the fellow have his money and lets move on.

Right, if another employer offered me a significant raise doing the same thing I do now, I'd give my 2 week notice to my current employer. I don't fault either party. However, for all this fiscal responsibility, Romo has 2 and maybe 3 good years left, what are we doing to find his successor? Nothing, so it'll probably be tough go of it in a few years anyway.

and people wonder why the modern athlete could careless about "fans".

My statement about breaking a leg was a figure of speech. I don't really wish that on DeMarco or any other person for that matter.

 

[SDCowboy]

I thought it was a very classy presser. I especially liked how he handled the question of if the Eagles are closer to a SB than the Cowboys.

 

[Brooksey]

Yeah, that's a lie.

He's full of it.
