ESPN Article on the ankle twisting/Olsen Getting Real

[WUnderhill]

he was in serious discussions as a first or second round draft pick when he came out, but tes didn't like his tendency to play dirty and rack up personal foul penalties. many thought it wouldn't matter because he's just so talented and that's all that mattered. apparently nobody in the league thought his dirty play was worth a draft pick, regardless of how talented he is, and he went undrafted. the fact that the bengals picked him up was no surprise to anyone because the browns (the family that owns them, not the team from cleveland) prefers headcases.

now he's proven to be as talented as people thought, but he's also proven to be as much of a penalty and fine magnet as everyone thohgt as well. i'm thinking that with this game he took it just a bit too far and he's getting the attention for it that refs and the league are going to start taking more notice and his extra cirricular activites on the field are going to start costing the bengals because not only will he probably be drawing more penalties from refs wanting to clamp down on his dirty play, but he'll also start drawing suspensions and the bengals will have to adjust to being without one of their most talented players on defense because he refuses to control himself.

Didn't he also have a terrible combine? I seem to remember something like that.

Bingo, he had an awful combine. That added to his propensity to draw personal fouls really hurt his draft stock.

This is trending on facebook now too. Its number one on my mind, i doubt its that high for others but its trending none-the-less.

He should go on the commissioners exempt list indefinitely.

 

Problem with the exempt list they get paid while on the list.

[ThPantherFan]

What about the coach laughing it off and stating 'that's WWF stuff'.  Traces of the Sain'ts maybe?

Rivera sent tapes in. League is reviewing it

I love how ESPN quotes Graham Gano and say he's a punter for the Panthers. DAMN IDIOTS!

Worse, it's David Newton.

The @NFL will look into the claims made by #Panthers TE Greg Olsen that #Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict tried to injure him and Cam Newton.

Yeah, and fug Marvin Lewis now. He could have been respectful and said he doesn't condone it, but obviously he does.

he went to the combine out of shape and fat.

League needs to start ejecting guys from games after 2 personal fouls.  No sense putting up with these shenanigans from the same players week in and out.
