Sisyphean Bills Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 While I think Tony is getting screwed...
NoSaint Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 so its been 7-8 years since his conviction and he has graduated from school and turned his life around. give the guy a shot and maybe we have our future rt. if leonard little is allowed to play in this league this guy should be. Maybe buddy nix and 31 other scouts don't agree with kiper. Clausen wasn't top ten or quite as NFL ready as he thought. I haven't seen film so I can't argue either way. Have you seen any? I've been asking this in every thread for 6 months- nobody has seen a full game from Washington yet... I wonder if I'm being blackballed for a speeding ticket or if I'm just not as good as I think. Just can't seem to get a tryout. (exaggerated, but intentionally so cause it's as silly as saying the NFL would blackball a future franchise LT). Anyway- we've heard Tonys version condemning police behavior - what's the cops side? Living in nola I know they can be shady as they come but I'm curious still
bbb Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Never heard of him. As long as he has no off the field issues or skeletons in his closet I'm OK with it. THIS is funny!
T master Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Maybe what we need to do is take a page out of the Eagles play book but take it a little deeper !! Sign Washington & put him on the practice squad for a while until the media hoopla goes down a bit & toward the end of the year put him in a couple of games just to knock the rest of the edge off the media frenzy . Then the next year when the story has become second hand if his play warrants , get him on the field & let him go . Mistakes are a part of life it's how you rebound from it and what you take into your future that builds the character of a person .
NoSaint Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 So no one has seen him play? Draft guides are great but....
aristocrat Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 So no one has seen him play? Draft guides are great but.... i know he is playing in the arena league and from what i've heard he has played well down there but i haven't seen him play
bladiebla Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) i know he is playing in the arena league and from what i've heard he has played well down there but i haven't seen him play Thats Richard Washington, unless it's the same guy with a changed name... http://www.arenafoot...?article_id=454 KFFL doesnt have any info on him since the combine http://www.kffl.com/player/22588/NFL All things said and done, in a league that has convicted murders and animal killers why is Goodell trying to be holier then the pope with this guy who has been on the straight for 7 years. Huge article here: http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=5497517 says he plays for the Dallas Vigilantes, their site has a press release on him http://www.dallasvig...6threemore.html but he isnt listed on their roster. Wiki has him there as well:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Arena_Football_League_team_rosters. Aha, he's been assigned (sorta reversed draft lol) to the Dallas Vigilantes on october 4th 2010 http://arenafootball.com.ismmedia.com/ISM3/std-content/repos/Top/Stats/AFL_Transaction_10-4-10.pdf Edited December 9, 2010 by bladiebla
