Jay Ratliff signs with bears

[cowboys1981]

I hope he tears his BCL! If that exist!

BCL.. Bloody Cruciate Ligaments

 

[Corso]

Well I don't usually do that, but thats how much scum I believe he is so I'm willing to say that when it comes to him.

Alot for me to say I know, but its the way I feel.

I respect the emotion.

We are invested in this team and he Benedict Arnold'd us.

HE BENEDICT ARNOLD'D US.

Zordon- you want to lay down for that?

You're not the type of guy who lays down...

 

[Dcowboy84]

this whole thing is so fishy it's insane...his agent made it sound like his midsection and lower body were so torn up that he was lucky to be walking when he was released and there was no way he'd be playing this year...now a few weeks later he signs a 1yr deal and will be playing this season? like it's already been said this ups our leverage legally a TON.

 

[theebs]

Sickening.

Every day of this season has been worse than the previous day.

 

[Zordon]

I speak as a fan.

But there is an emotionality to this game.

Do you disagree?

Why is there trash-talking then?

Were you involved with organized sports?

I can tell you, bulletin board material is real.

I went into games with a head-hunter mentality- especially when my team was slighted by the opposition in any way.

Not to injure- but to show.

No. You don't do this to MY TEAM.

And that wasn't even football, I played basketball- a much less physical sport.

You think this team is full of pansies who don't care?

I'd bet you're wrong.

i'm one of the most athletic people on this site and yes i've played the sport. i agree with everything you said and I wish we'd tap into that emotional side more. i don't expect it from this bunch sadly and its all b/c of our robot head coach. look at how they whisked dez into room for his display of emotion and gave him a verbal spanking. ware said "it would never happen again." really ware? for once someone showed us the fans some anger about the sad state of this franchise and you get so uncomfortable about it that you have to immediate silence and suppress him?

yeah i don't see it from this bunch. hope i'm wrong b/c ratliff is still a good player imo.

 

[Hoofbite]

The Ratliff situation shows you just how quickly a fan base can turn on a player.

Fact is, he shouldn't have been on the roster in the first place after his blowup with Jerry and the DUI. They should have cut him after the DUI and moved on without him.

But, Uncle Jerry didn't do that.

This is like dealing with a known drug addict. You give them chance after chance. You let them stay in your home and permit them to continue doing the stupid stuff they have been doing.

And then you come home one day and all your belongings are gone. And then you get pissed at the drug addict and completely turn a blind eye to the fact that you were too stupid in the first place to kick him out.

 

[cowboyblue22]

rat my punch somebody in mouth but I guarantee these soft players wont mess with him

 

[Don Corleone]

This bunch of players will watch as Ratliff sacks Romo repeatedly. I have zero faith in them blocking him, much less inflicting pain on him. This franchise is in a very sorry state, and it pains me to admit it.

I'm willing to bet he is absolutely still a good player, which makes this even more upsetting.

I hope FredBeard puts him on his ***.

Over and over again.

And then one more time to put an exclamation point.

Our Boy's are not going to lay down to this affront.

Neither should you.

Neither should anybody!

Pancake that man into retirement!

Like anyone else- we can only go by what information is given to us.

I, like many others wanted the best to happen.

Don't you?

And then- The Betrayal.

What did you expect to happen?

Did you turn the other cheek?

Good for you.

I didn't.

Since when does this ragtag bunch actually take revenge? They don't have pride in the franchise, and they aren't held accountable for their performance.

 

[SHAMSzy]

In before he gives Romo a career ending injury. That would simply secure the ultimate screw job in sports history of Jay Ratliff vs Jerry Jones.

You may be right.

I don't have the evidence to truly dispute you.

I do know human nature.

I know how I would feel going into a game like that.

I can only speak from my mind.

I don't know them...

But neither do you.

I believe our Boys have some pride about them.

I don't believe they are completely emasculated like you are insinuating.

I choose to believe there will be sweet retribution. That our team isn't a bunch of girls.

I'm sure nothing will be said or declared straight out- that's begging for the league to step in.

But I like to hope that there is some pride in these men, and they are men and they will not stand to be Benedict Arnold'd mid-season by one of their own.

Oh man, I hope not...

 

[Mansta54]

Cuz that's our game...

You scared bro? Sounds like It. Smh!!!

 

[pupulehaole]

Sad thing is Jerry wont get any money back from this snake.

 

[hra8700]

I have no idea what happened with Ratliff, it's clear that he and the team disagreed on his rehab. Frankly, the most likely way in which a team and a player would disagree is the team wanting to push the player back when he doesn't think he's healthy enough. Then, after months of disagreement, it seems like Ratliff said he refused to play for the team after all that happened. All in all, kind of hard to objectively say either party is right or wrong without knowing the facts. I still harbor no ill will towards Ratliff (or frankly, any player in the league)

 

[ilykdrama]

You maybe be right.

At least I got you to laugh.

Laughter is a healer.

Thanks for giving reasons as to why I'm wrong, by the way.

Good show.

I think the reasons are the fact that our team is full of nice guys. Maybe we can get Dez to play on the offensive line for a few series, so he can actually make your wish come true.

 

[pugilist]

ugh, Ratliff vs. Bernadeau.. not sure i like that matchup
