Really good (sad/humbling) article on Reed Doughty

I remember a little blurb from LaCanfora's blog where he said AA is pretty pissed and almost unloaded to him but held it in because he 'thought better of it'. I wouldn't mistake lack of bitching as a sense of entitlement. In fact we'd all be bashing him if he was bitching so we can't fault him for staying quiet about it.

I'm not talking about bitching - I'm talking about anything that indicates he wants his job back. You never hear "AA is staying late to study films, practice, etc." I haven't heard anything positive about his work ethic or his playing (even in coach-speak). There are plenty of ways AA can make known that he wants his job back without "bitching". He hasn't done it, though.

I agree. I wonder though if he hasn't done it or it hasn't been reported? I can't think of anything that has said he does or doesn't care other than the one little thing from the blog. Either way he sucks donkey balls and shouldn't play for us ever again.

That's a good point, although it seemed like even during the Arrington fiasco we heard that he was "improving" and showing promise. Bottom line, though, you are right - he is awful and, hopefully, is a lesson learned for Williams.
