Is it just me....

I wasn't horribely mad at AP when he left because he got a HELL of a lot more money from the gints unlike smoot. I didn't want him to be good but didn't want him to fail. I now have no wishes towards him and I hope he sucks ass and never makes it to a pro bowl. Skrew em' anyone that spews in his bedroom over a team and group of people that have forgotten about him loses my respect. I don't give a flying **** what he thinks, we made him and now he thinks that he is better than our organization. I might be going to the game on the 24th and I will be booing my ass off now and i am gonna chant Pierce sucks all afternoon.

Didn't he get in a fight with sellers like two years ago at training camp?? I hope sellers shows him the business on christmas eve.

Ummmm no. The difference in what the Skins' final offer was and the Giants' was less than a million over the life of the deal I believe. He was mad because the Skins didn't blow everyone out of the water with their initial offer which was way below what he ended up getting from the Giants. Apparently he is one of those types who likes to play the disrespected card to justify abandoning the team that gave him his first shot just for a few extra bucks. He has a very weak argument about being disrespected. He went for the money plaun and simple. And not much more in the end. Smoot definitely got a load more than what the skins ended up offering.

my fault, i guess i forgot . I had thought that Smoot's offer was just more front loaded and Pierce's was more money and we didn't want to give him that much. I guess that is true in a sense but i thought that Pierce got much more over there and when we got a chance to match we just said "nah bitch"

Yes sir 3 of the last 5, and so far how many games have the giants won in december this year?? I like how he is predicting things before they happen, and because of this he deserves to lose every game in december left

F'n retard. I hate pierce, **** YOU PIERCE!!

[mooby]

Yeah it's a shot at us. It's gonna be bulletin board material when we play them too. I hope we kick their ass to shut him up. Without us, he'd be nothing more than a backup linebacker.

[itvnetop]

trust me, he could have said a lot worse than what he did... him not winning in december with us isn't that big of a deal.

i still like the guy- he worked his butt off for us and when he left for NY, alot of people were saying he isn't worth it (it was GW's system that made him look good, etc)... he's disproving that this season. even though the NY contract wasn't that much more than what we offerred, he probably felt disrespected by his own team. it's probably why he stayed in division.

i always felt that losing him was worse than losing smoot... pierce was cerebral on the field- he knew where to line everyone up... look at how many big plays we've given up this season compared to last.

having said all that, on game day I hope portis knocks him on his ass.

[That Guy]

I think he liked the NY market and the fact that they offered a LOT more money than what he expected from anyone helped his decision. I would have liked to have kept him, but whatever, marshall is a good enough LB and as long as holdman stays off the field, we should be alright.

[56FAN]

Both of them were front loaded, we offered smoot an 11mil signing bonus, he laughed then he signed a contract with the vikings for an 11 mil signing bonus and a front loaded contract. fact we offered the same or very very close to what these others offered and they chose to walk. remember that's why bugel said soo much for being lifelong skins, throw alittle money at them and they walk.

[onlydarksets]

Definitely a cheap shot, but isn't that what you are supposed to do to your old team?

[MTK]

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

The Skins haven't been to the playoffs since '99. Kinda hard to argue against his point.

[skins052bgr8]

Classless whether it is the truth or not, he could have spoken on the success of the Giants season easily without bringing the Skins into the conversation. It seems some of these athletes just won't grow up it is always someone else why they did not succeed, the system, the team, the owners, etc... They make Millions and are offered millions, but still bad mouth the previous team and claim he was done wrong.

[onlydarksets]

The Gyants have had 3 head coaches, we have had 4.

They have had 3 winning seasons in 10 years.

Do you remember how pitiful the NFC was the year they went to the Super Bowl? Plus, they LOST in the Superbowl, and were nowhere near going to it the year before or the year after.

Their last 2 seasons they were worse than we were.

We have a new staff in place headed by one of the most respected head coaches of ALL time.

This was a money and ego decision by Pierce.


#56fanatic: Prior to you responding I had updated my previous post with this:
It occurred to me that maybe you meant that the organization was constant, as opposed to consistently winning. If so, does the consistency of a losing organization really matter?

[onlydarksets]

Re: the number of head coaches, I didn't count Robiskie, who was an interim coach for 3 games 5 years ago.

[BigSKINBauer]

i don't care if it is true or not. He doesn't have to talk about us to the media at all and he has done it a couple times this year. I have no respect for him
