Patten's Smart Ass Remark

true, we were going over this in algebra the other day and i was telling them about the skins contracts and theres a formula they use.

How did you solve for "X"?

Well, he is speaking the truth, isn't he?

His statement probably looks worse in print than it really is.

yes, which is what I said in an earlier post. But at the same time, it could indicative of his unhappiness. I hope that's not the case, but as i mentioned earlier he did voice some displeasure w/things last year.
He's a good player & he was missed more than we realize once he was hurt. I just hope he's not disgruntled because we're going to demote him to #3 hopefully when we get a wr in fa.

How did you solve for "X"?

i dont know, we're gonna work on that today. im home schooled by the way.

Taken from the WP:

Wide receiver David Patten said the same. Patten signed a five-year,$13.5 million deal with a $3.5 million signing bonus. "They didn't come to me," Patten said. "And I didn't volunteer. Would you volunteer to give your money back?"

Does that not rub anyone else the wrong way?

Classless, and your right. Some things are better, not said. your can bet Joe did not like it either

i dont know, we're gonna work on that today. im home schooled by the way.

I see...I was wondering how you were able to post so much during school hours.

i thought someone might, i just wanted to clear that up before anyone thought i was a degenerate.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying cut Patten, but just something that stuck out.


"Some things are better left unsaid"

I was talking with someone only two days ago about patten. If anyone hasn't noticed he is an ass. I have heard him only say a few things since he came here but once i distinctfully remember him insulting the fans of washington. i am pretty sure that it was when we were booing-either ramsey or brunell- and he said that the fans only boo because they wish they could be on the field. and continued to expand on it saying that the fans shouldn't be booing people who are basically superior to them.

well here is part of it. Doesn't sound as bad as i remember it but still insulting the fans. stupid shit like this makes people get a bad perception of you. He played 3 preseason games and insulted the fans and I remember it so it goes to show that you shouldn't make a bad first impression

"He can't worry about [the boos]. Fans don't make the decisions," Patten said. "Half of them come in the stadium because they can't be on the field."

I am going to monitor very closely the things Patten says from now on. I too remember him having some dispariging remarks about his ability to play at the end of last season, and having been placed on IR. He sounded then as though he may have had a chip, and for a player who has been here for such a short period of time (and proved nothing) maybe shouldn't have so much to say. I don't think he's the one you seek out to interview for fear of what he may say.
