wonder how he would look in a saints jersey

Quite the classy move by Marroidman.

 

[Saint Dupree]

i heard this last night and must say, his idea or not, cool move. Now lets work his a** off

 

[MLU]

Well, now it's going to be hard to hate him...

 

[KennerFan]

Nice classy move but a move made to still salvage his reputation.

Classy move on his part, at least he's doing something productive with his new time off. Really smart of him to try and re-establish a positive image of himself/Chargers/NFL.

if i'm not mistaken, polamalu was taken right before the saints were scheduled to pick. would have had to trade up.

 

[St. Skeet]

My hat is off to the guy. Way to make the best out of a bad situation. Good job.

We could have had Troy but Haslett thought it would be wise to trade 2 first rounders for Sullivan. The Steelers picked him right after where our picks would have been. Keep in mind this was right after Haslett thought it would be a good idea to get rid of Sammy Knight.

He was right on the Knight decision.

Nice classy move but a move made to still salvage his reputation.

What's more important, the action or the motive behind the action?

 

[SaintDX]

grandstanding

 

[antipop]

yeah, i bet if it were a different player (i could name a few), everyone would be saying how phony it is....yada yada yada....either way, the dude is still helping out

 

[theSpaniard]

does anyone happen to have a link?

 

[Derilicte]

Per NFL Network he will spend his 4 week suspension helping to rebuild 2 houses.

Say what you want about the guy, but thats a classy gesture.[/QUOTE


Ok, I'll be the white devil's advocate here. The guy cheated period. He used steroids, does anyone see what they have done to baseball. It has no part in the game. Yeah great, he is doing something that thousands of college kids with no money have already done -- volunteer his time. Big deal. I thank him for doing it, but it doesn't make him a better person.

The man cheated and then did this ******** appeal when he knew he was guilty just to play in last weeks game.
