Man, I feel bad about this whole thing... I know people grieve and cope with losses differently, so maybe dwill is just lashing out because he's having a hard time dealing with his mother's death still, and now his release. I've seen people who almost seem to go insane after the loss of a loved one... But, that being said, someone should've helped him filter through all that before he went out and did all this... Not only does it make him look horrible but he is unintentionally hurting others in the process. I think it's interesting that CJ is the one who retreated the proof of Tolbert going because he takes it personal that dwill is acting like this... Being that CJ lost a loved one recently and did have support from the teammates and front office, he also has to know who showed support from dwill from the inside... So to completely throw everyone under the bus except for hardy, that's hurtful to the guys that were there for him, like Tolbert, and for guys that also lost loved ones this year who didn't make a big scene about it, like CJ. That's why dwill is now coming off as petty and selfish, as though this wasn't about his mom, but him.

I get the feeling that where this went wrong is in perhaps DWill feeling JR should've known about it but he didn't, and therefore he didn't act accordingly. With the olsen and CJ instances, it's, the situations were big enough that word made its way to JR and then he acted... Like enough people knew or were talking about it, or the player himself made JR aware of what they were going through. It seems like that's what this situation is missing. It sucks for DWill and I wish him nothing but the best, he was an awesome player for us for many years.

He produced for us at receiver. I'm sure they don't see him as exclusively a return man. Cards just couldn't afford to pay him for what they were getting back, especially after having to restructure Fitzgerald just so they could keep him.

Excellent...

Also, aren't players that are released before free agency eligible to sign with a new team immediately? So we can start negotiating with him now, right?

This has to be declared a national holiday or some poo... Unbelievable. And best of luck to bell... I wouldn't have minded him staying as a backup (which is what he should've been from the beginning), but I guess it's just best to close this chapter. Cam's gotta be feeling like this is Christmas.

I'm not gonna get my hopes up, but this would be awesome. I imagine there won't be a huge market nor a ton of bidders driving the price up this time around either. Also, he should still be viewed as the return specialist and last reciever and we still need to more talent and depth there. Now the Steelers need to do the same with Mitchell lol.

Anyone else think there's something more to the timing of it though? Like, maybe Gettleman watched the RBs at the combine and feels confident he'll get a guy to replacehim on tthe roster, so they did it now... Or is it purely based on the cap hit and all that good stuff?

Best of luck to DLo, it feels weird now that it has actually happened.

Yeah, it's kind of redundant. What's the point of talking for a high pick when our coach refuses to play guys simply because they're young and he favors vets. It's stupid.

Look at what Amare is doing for them and think about how much he is making. Look at what Al is doing, and look how much he's making. Like I said, if he was consistently out-dueling his man offensively, then it wouldn't be such a problem, but he isn't even doing that anymore. He is a walking sieve. And so what if he's getting rebounds, if biz was in there he would have the same or more AND would be playing defense, which most likely would have us at least tied going into the 4th.

The broadcast crew should start putting up a "Big Al blown possesion" and "Lance Blown Layup" counter for each telecast.

I hope these refs do our staff a favor and eject Al from this game.

Refs poo on MKG earlier by not giving him FTs on that shooting foul, but they just saved him from years of embarrassment by calling that foul on Richard Jefferson. Lol, that was possibly a dunk of the decade candidate.

How sad is it that Jefferson was the last man back, Hendo turns the ball over, and rondo goes up for the layup with Jefferson right on his shoulder at the rim... Rondo goes straight up with it like Al isn't even there and Hendo has to take off from the free throw line to challenge the shot while Al stays nailed to the ground? It's one thing if you're doing that poo while dropping 25 and 10 a night on 60% shooting, but it's a whole different thing when you're shooting your team out of game after game FROM THE fuging POST.

This poo is unreal... Even with the injuries... WTF is AL doing? He looks nothing like he did last year. Just stupid poo... It's like his philosophy is, "if you can't find a better shot, shoot it. " He's just throwing up poo like he's in a personal battle every fuging possession. It's unbelievable. And in case no one else has noticed, I thought I would point out that opposing teams haven't been double teaming him anymore.... He's that inefficient. A few possessions ago, his dumbass made a couple of jab steps at about 20 ft out, had Chandler on him with his arm fully extended in Al's face, and Al decides the best option is to shoot it. Chandler then runs the floor and and catches an alley on the other end with Al's slow ass pouting on the other end of the court.

0-7 3pt FGs... Meanwhile, Lance continues to chuck up bricks while PJ sits. Edit: make that 1-8.

My dislike for Al is becoming hate...

Lol I know, it was just a long way of saying we suck.

Good to see Lance is practicing his shot... During games.

After the NBA trade deadline, does that limit an NBA team from negotiating a trade with an NBDL team? I think Roberts could snag us something nice.

Can we make a petition to change the word facepalm to Maxiell?

Maxiell is worthless. Stoudamire is killing him.

Well, I wouldn't say that, I would just say that it appears to be either keep the ball yourself or pass it once and whoever has it at about 16 secs left on the shot clock, Jack that motherfuger up with a hand in your face. Rinse, repeat.

I'm growing to dislike Al more and more with each minute of game play.
