Even when they do what is necessary and release them, these guys still find a way to make the franchise look bad. Oh well... Let's just embrace the bad boys image. It worked for the Cowboy's in the 90's. Quote

combatbengal Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 Who in their right mind would pick a fight with Thurman anyways? The guy is a beast. Quote

HAPPYJAQ Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 It makes me sad to see the career of the next best thing to Ray Lewis ending this way. I guess it was a gamble to begin with. I just hope that he turns his life around, for his children, if nothing else. A real sad story. Quote

I guess it was a gamble to begin with.No different than the on going Chris Henry saga to me. Two players with tons of potential, but simply can't obey the law. Quote
Defender Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 I realize we'll never know, but it makes me wonder if he would have turned it around and none of this happening if he had been reinstated by the league prior to last season. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Yep, they found him in Georgia and he's in jail as I type...WHODEY !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Sorry, forgot the link...http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/18/...ed-for-assault/WHODEY !!! Quote
TJJackson Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Well, at least the article pegs his chances at a return to the NFL as "better than Rae Carruth's"ouchie Quote
