Patten's Smart Ass Remark

not a big deal... but he's had at least 3 whiny quotes so far, which is kind of annoying.

we may be a little sensitive here. it's not exactly what you would expect Bill Clinton to say in his situation. But we didnt hire him for his political savvy. Take it easy boyz, Take it eazy.

true, i did forget about the ones last year.

For what it's worth (which I don't think is much, given that it's a newspaper report and all), I have also noticed that Patten has seemed rather pissy. THere are obvious reasons for this: he didn't get the ball thrown his way when he was healthy, they put him on IR very quickly (in his opinion), and now all the talk is of getting a #2 WR as if Patten doesn't even play for the team. He's got a lot of pride as a player, and by all accounts, he's a real pro in practice. And Gibbs has always sung his praises, including saying that we already have good WRs here, etc.

We'll see--my guess is it will be settled on the field. If Patten is really a good #2, it will become obvious in Saunders' offense. If not, then shut your yap, dave!

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 should 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."

Why should he worry about the boos? The only people he needs to please is the coaches because they know for sure what he needs to do while Sam Sixpack, 3 sheets to the wind, has no clue.

I think his estimate of half is a bit on the low side.

I know I'm in the minority on the issue, but I don't see what the fuss is all about. It seems a little sensitive to get upset that Patten didn't want to be on IR, joked about not volunteering to give his money back, etc.

You would think something, seemingly , so trivial wouldn't stir such a response - but I guess that goes to show it's not so trivial.

This whole thread is over-analyzing and taking out of context alot of his words. I'm sure he was asked by the reporter if he volunteered to give his money back. The added little tid-bit was probably him defending himself for not restructuring, not him attacking the redskins (as I initially interpreted it). Makes sense to me. He's not pulling a lavar or a t.o. here... just explaining himself.

He likes being a redskin. You can't define someone's character by one or two out of context sentence long remarks.

you are actually very correct about that and im sure malcolm would agree with me.

its hard to take the context of what people say..

i mean im sure its not typically professional courtesy to say "JK" or "LOL" in articles like i do (but maybe they should start)

I am with you 100%. Lets not be women about this boys. He is a man. Let him joke around a little bit.
