Can this be right?

I was out of touch over the weekend and saw about 20 minutes of ESPN News whilst enjoying a quick brewski in a "joint" in a remote area. What I saw/heard as part of a rundown on the tumultuous Redskins' offseason was a report of a comment by Sean Taylor about why he never returned Joe Gibbs' phone calls.

According to the talking head, Taylor said he could have returned the calls but figured that since it was the offseason, he didn't have to.

Did I hear that right? Did Taylor ever say anything nearly that stupid? Or is this some kind of grotesque misrepresentation?

If he actually said anything close to that, then Sean Taylor has retired the trophy for MEATHEAD of the DECADE. If he didn't say anything close to that, did he say something remotely pertinent to why he never returned the head coach's phone calls?

That's essentially what he said, but also in another interview expressed that he made a mistake in doing so.. At this point the OTA thing is over and done with in my opinion. The players don't seem to care, they're happy to have him, Williams is being the hammer by leaving him on 2nd team for now but when the season starts you can figure he'll be out there with the starters. Other than mini-camp, I think the whole OTA thing is just off season media fodder.. Even a couple guys said that most of what he was missing was weights and conditioning anyways, it seems like he was doing that himeself..

This is how I see it. Yes, he might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, or the most polite, BUT he showed up when he was supposed to, he showed up in top condition AND he's picking up right where he left off last year. If it takes him being in Miami all offseason to come back and play this way, so be it (just stay out of trouble).

portis did the same thing between 1500 yard rushing 200+ receiving and 15+ td seasons in denver... most people find it generally annoying when stars go awol, but he's showed up for games so it tends to be forgiven.

This guy is the most enigmatic guy ever. Everyone who knows him says he is a standup guy. Nicest guy in the world. Not a punk bitch or anything. He plays his ass of on the field and his teamates think he is great. At the same time they say he is immature and stubborn and basically doesn't listen because he is hard headed. So he screws off because people tell him not to. He is seriously like a 2 year old. Always doing exactly opposite of what others want him to do. Maybe next year they can tell him to get boozed and coked up with some hos during off season and he'll show up for OTAs out of spite. What a knucklehead!

There is no doubt that he's immature. All I ask is that when he shows up, he shows up to play...

This is totally irrelevant to this thread, but I just woke up from a nap and in my nap I actually dreamt I met SportsCurmudgeon after a game (oddly enough, a Wizards game)

And he looked like a 6'8" version of Dilbert's bald-headed friend Wally (http://www.carfield.com.hk/photo/wallpaper/Comics/Dilbert/wally-lg.jpg)

I wonder how close that description is

hes been very low key lately

ROTFL!!! What did you have before you took your nap? :lol:

Sounds like a character reference from the punk bitch pal who allegedly chased the other punk bitch with a baseball bat while Sean allegedly pointed the gun at yet another punk bitch.

i can definiteinyl feel that...

very SC
