    I imagine he pissed off everyone straight up the ladder to the Rooney offices.

    What an ignorant move and one he may regret for the rest of his life.

    If you note, Fu runs 8 yards in the time it takes the commentator to pronounce his name.

    Reports out of Boston are saying he's at the Patriots facility.

    maybe he left a bag of dope stashed behind his former locker and wanted to check to see if it's still there.:hmmm::cool:

    This whole affair was clearly a plan by Bellichik to wreck our season all along.

    Nice try, Bill.

    Every time the patriots play he's been tweeting about their players this was a ploy to get kicked off the team
    now the patriots get them cheaper and we're stuck with the rest of his salary for the next two years

    If we play the patriots in the playoffs he's going to make us pay for releasing him

    I was going to say they wanted him back before he signed with Pittsburgh so not a stretch that he would go back

    Knew this was going to happen which is why I didn't want him relased. I know he's a punk, but it says something about our HC if he can't control him/keep him in line, but the fat man in NE can.

    I doubt he would be much of a factor. More worried about Marsha and Gronk.

    When did he actually leave the field? Somehow I missed this.

    Well we knew some playoff team was going to pick him up. Now he is a lock to make the playoffs , And with Tomlin as our coach we have no clue how this team will perform in the nxt 5 games..:facepalm:

    It might have been better to deactivate him for the rest of the season so that our opponents that we might see in the playoffs can't use him against us. Say what you will about Blount, but Tomlin just helped the patriots get better.

    I was thinking the same thing. I was sitting behind their bench but I was on the opposite end of the field. If I had been on the other 20 I probably would have seen him do it. I always like to watch the sidelines while I'm at games to see how well people communicate and things like that. There was a while the other night where the sidelines looked pretty dang deflated actually. I will say that Munchak was spending a lot of time coaching up that line though and actually, I don't know if this was mentioned in the broadcast, but the Titans actually did a little tribute to Munch on their titantron. They just showed some pictures of him and said "welcome back". I don't THINK it was meant to be sarcastic but I could be wrong. It's rare for me to be wrong but I mean it COULD happen. LOL.

    It would be hilarious if the league levied a punishment against him now though and he wasn't really a weapon for anybody. The only thing that would be lame is that they would also have to lower the boom on Bell as well.

    Nothing has changed in terms of his release making someone better, in fact, it's probably less of a factor in the sense that the Patriots are pretty stacked with talented running backs. Did anyone see Jonas Gray the other night?

    A team on the fringe (or the Pats) could have easily claimed him on waivers. It's unfortunate that he had to go, but honestly, if he was a "locker room cancer"...cut it out and move on.
