HoosierCat Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Just saw this tweet from whit... Is this a joke?@BigWhit77_fndn: Mike brown told me I'm done here. Said I can play this year and go home. So I told him I want a raise or I'll sit my ass at home this ... Quote
volcom69 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Wow I hope so otherwise Mike Brown is a huge ass!!! Why is there always drama in the NFL it's so annoying Quote
volcom69 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 im sure many players will see this and want to play for Mike Brown. Play so many years then sit at home on your ass we don't need you Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 Tweet was apparently deleted in seconds, I got totally lucky checking Twitter on my phone while pumping gas. Now Whit's account is down...Guys on Twitter still not sure if it was meant as a DM or an epic troll... Quote
volcom69 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Yea I saw Joe posted it but I wasn't sure if it was real or not Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 Apparently now Whit claiming he was hacked. Given how fast the tweet came down I have to wonder... Quote
volcom69 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Guess will find out if he doesn't show up for practices Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 New story! New story! Now tweet was "sent accidentally."@ColeyHarvey: Just spoke with Andrew Whitworth. Seems the now-infamous tweet was sent accidentally. I'll have more on that shortly. #BengalsLol Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 Just now...@BigWhit77_fndn: We now have new phone rules in our house!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!Oh. Ok. So it was real and your kid sent it accidentally? Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 Blames the wife...@BigWhit77_fndn: Not a hacker... My wife apparently responded to a text on my phone.. Being a smart ass with one of my teammates about Media Spin this week.Uh-huh. Quote
volcom69 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Interesting, said he has not even spoken to hire ups yet. Quote
HoosierCat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 Normally I'd be willing to give Whit the benefit of the doubt, but after the last couple days of his public if low-key campaign for a new deal...well, I have to wonder how accidental this accident really was.I don't actually believe he will hold out. But I can also believe he isnt in the team's long-term plan. Quote
kingwilly Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Something sounds hinky here. That is a very inflammatory tweet, fake or not.For Whit, this should b about simply letting his play on the field speak for itself. Most regular fans support Whit, and note the oddness of the first two rounds of the draft but here is a guy who is highly rated and regarded as a leader on the team. Leaders generally take their beef public, unless there are more reasons to be unhappy (along the lines of Palmer, wanting the team to manage things a certain way). I have a hard time believing Mike Brown told him he was done here.One thing that as longtime fans can sense, players often get to a fatigue point with the Brown family, and that can sour their view on lots of things. Sadly, Wit may be hitting his fatigue threshold.... Quote
volcom69 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Just saw a tweet from Whit where he and the o-line and QBs are having dinner tonight. Can't imagine what the conversation is all about lol Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Wow, I'm getting to the point where if Whit is gone after this season, I really wont care. He is not leading the correct way right now.Quit whining and get on with making millions of dollars to play the game you love. If he truly wants to be a Bengal for life, all he has to do is take a pay cut (like Brady and Manning both have done) so the team can keep building for the future, while he plays out his time doing any job the team asks of him. You know like any employee at any job, in the real world. Quote
