Jay Ratliff signs with bears

[Corso]

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.

Maybe you're right.

I think Tron lays down for no man.

Do you?

I think Fredbeard won't wilt in Rats face.

Do you?

I think there are teammates that feel betrayed by his actions.

I may be wrong, but like I said- I know human nature and I wouldn't take his **** lying down.

These guys get hit everyday. in games, in practice, they are not afraid of getting hit or hitting someone else.

You can be nice and still show someone you don't do this to your team.

Am I so wrong for this?

This attitude?

Nobody else agrees with me?

Am I on an island?

I believe in my team, from a heart standpoint. I haven't seen them quit since Wade yet people here are telling me our team is filled with Pee-Wee's

NO.

I refuse to believe it.

If Rat plays- there will be hard hits. There will be pancakes.

There will be a modicum of retribution.

I believe this.

You don't? Fine. Go about your business thinking your team that you root for is nothing but a bunch of weenies ready to be roasted.

I'm sure that's fun.

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)

I think you make a good point, not to mention as soon as the word "legal" entered the conversation it almost guarantees we won't know the full story for a while. Also, we don't know if Rat can actually play at his previous level. We do know it is unlikely he is in football shape. We just need to beat Da Bears when we play them. That's what these things always come down to.

I would love to see it. Don't get me wrong. Those just aren't players we have. Dez got silenced by leaders. LEADERS of this team because he showed fire and emotion. Leaders on offense and defense. It was really sad to see. Also the coach. So from ALL angles the first display of fire and emotion got silenced.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

Ok ok, i know the saints were dirty and the bounty-gate scandal was terrible, but i wish jerry could sneak some cash under the table to whoever can take this fool out of the game.

 

[ilykdrama]

His overall health and conditioning will be a big part of it too. If he's several weeks away, he has to get the system and get into playing shape, conditioning wise and the healthy of his brittle little bones.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Sickening.

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

Theebs, Theebs! Don't talk like that. When you give up, the season always goes south.

Theebs, Theebs! Don't talk like that. When you give up, the season always goes south.

It's kind of true though, it seems each day someone gets hurt, some sort of drama happens or we find a new unthinkable way to lose.

It just feels like the whole thing needs a fresh start, but that's not going to happen obviously.

 

[Corso]

Ratliff has signed with the Bears.

Bring it, boy.

Let's see who on this board was right.

You washed up?

You still The Man?

Will there be a moment of retribution?

Will you dominate?

Will our Boys do what needs to be done to Benedict Arnold?

All I know is I cannot wait to see.

The date has been circled. The popcorn will be popped.

Let's do this, Rat.

 

[Alexander]

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 ***.

Frederick has been quoted as saying he is not scared of Ratliff, "but there's a reason to be scared."

 

[RS12]

Will play us later this year

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. Groin miraculously healing.

honestly it was the worst things to ever happen to this franchise. dez is going to turn into one of them...of the robots.

I bet there is a reason to be scared.

The man is close to certifiable.

You know- I loved him on our team. I want psychos that are ready to bring mass destruction to our foes.

But now he is Benedict Arnold, Aldrich Ames, Judas Iscariot.

Time to show him you don't just quit on our team.

Every action causes an equal and opposite reaction.

I hope to see it.

First-hand.

I pull no punches and I hope nobody else does.

After hearing columbo's Ratliff story two weeks ago I am pretty sure everyone kept their distance and just tolerated the guy.

When you make a teammate the size of columbo fist fight you in the locker room over something small like a late block or whatever you have some serious issues.

Psychos have the same knees as everyone else.

 

[RamziD]

I'm trying to think who on our OL can really get at him. Maybe Frederick. I really wish we try the Free at RG experiment again (given Parnell doesn't completely suck). I think that would be our best bet for the interior.

 

[iceberg]

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.

Hey Rat is the Bears problem now, so that's a good thing. He will probably cause a locker room problem, piss off the owners, tell off the president, and slap the coach in the face. Good bye rat scum.

He made no friends

People keep telling me our team would rather kiss him than face him.

OK.

Let's watch the game when it happens.

If they're right- I'll capitulate.

Our team is full of wusses.

Until then- I don't and won't believe it.

Pancake Ratliff!

Over and Over til he learns you don't betray the men in the foxhole with you!

I do have a bad habit of that, don't I?

I hope it doesn't bug you THAT much.
