Guys, TO has a history of playing, even when hurt, ala the Super Bowl. He is hurt now, period, and it shouldn't be such a big deal. People are just making up stories to say that he isn't hurt, and those stories are trying to destroy this team. OK, he got fined for the meeting thing, its over, move on.

He is a superstar, and a rebel, but he plays hard when it counts, in the game. He reminds me of Allen Iverson in this way, people ride him for alot of things, but when the game is on the line, there is noone else you want to have the ball.

Yes, they are ego manics and sometimes a bit off their rocker. But that is a very talented ego manic we are dealing with, if he wasn't any good, noone would put up with anything he does or care what he does. I know that society needs rules and such to survive, and punishment should be handed down if they are broken. But I, for one, don't complain about people being different, or in some people's eyes, a "bad boy".

I have done the same thing at my own job, having done things that others can't get away with and get mad about. Why?? Management sees my performance when I'm not nuts, lol. Same goes for TO, mind you, if he wasn't great at what he does, he would have been cut a long time ago and working at Wendys.

There is a thin line between craziness and genius. TO is a genius on the football field, off it, he can be eccentric but one of a kind. Him on the bike was hilarious, yet it has been blown up into him undermining the team & faking an injury. I guess in this league, you aren't supposed to have fun when you are hurt, you are supposed to sit on the sidelines either crying or with pom poms (TO has done that one before, lol).

Personally, I have fun with a bit of excitment, otherwise life is just too boring. Have fun with it, don't take everything so serious, we aren't robots. I know some of you are by the book rulefollowers, but I'm not, and TO ain't either. There should be room in this world for us to coexist, without all the turmoil.

He is hurt, he has been punished, and he will do something else that will upset some people. Only thing I have an issue with TO about is his treatment of his teamates, but we will have to just accept him for who he is, and see the lighter side of it every so often.

LOL, noone will touch this with a 10 foot pole. I know it is unpopular here to actually like TO right now, but don't fire a guy for missing a rehab/meeting.

I just wonder if we will hate him so much when he starts putting points on the board. If you are looking for bad things to happen and just negative in general about the guy, touchdowns shouldn't change your feelings. But of course, it will, watch.
