Looking past the horrendous lack of grammar what he said was stupid. I can understand he's frusterated but he handled it in the worst possible way. Instead of just telling people he's trying to get Healthy, wants to win, doesnt like sitting out either and get off his back, he has to take shots at the very people who allow him to get paid millions of dollars to run and catch a football. By degrading the fans and their careers it comes off as classless and out of touch. It just stinks of being another arrogant athlete who feels entitled. I lost A LOT of respect for Sammy.

we will agree to disagree then. at any rate, it's bad behavior and it should be embarrassing to those associated with him. sadly, many of those people are probably defending him as well. that's not going to help him when statistically he's likely to be broke and doing some "little" job 3 years out of the league.

 

Nice try on the stereotypical dumb jock shot at him. If you look it up, he's well aware that many athletes do go broke and he is taking measures to make sure he'll not be in that situation.

Has Sammy not turned into a man yet? These comments are pretty immature. Isn't he 22?

And as we all know, no 22 year old in America has every said something ill advised :D

Except he didn't. ;) he bitched about a couple dozen people at most. Probably less. I didn't read all the comments.

and I suspect that outside of this forum, you are aligned with thevast majority of people. if nothing else, this was an incredibly stupid business decision. don't see him ever selling soup or mac and cheese on commercials, do you?

i'd say he just provided some pretty strong evidence of this.

In the end, this will be a blip on the radar screen. The next big thing in the news cycle will pretty much erase this.

This isn't just any normal 22 year old American we are talking about, this is SAMMY "THE MAN" WATKINS GLEN.

 

He should be wise beyond his years. Like Buddha wise. :worthy:

I long for the 90s when all we knew about our favorite team's athletes was that Jim Kelly threw awesome post-game parties and Darryl Talley liked to get drunk and chase tail in Buffalo bars.

Lack of articulation and/or writing skills does not always equate to dumb.

When he was drafted his agent told him to go pick out any new car he wanted and that when he signed his contract he could pay the agent back. Sammy said, "No, thank you. I will wait until I can pay for it myself." And then I believe bought his parents a house as soon as he signed.

or the ones that have such an unsatisfying personal and professional life that they have to try to tear him down in his career. i took it as those ones specifically, not pay or duty related.

Imagine you kept getting hurt on your job at a construction site making an apartment building because your foreman isn't OSHA compliant, and one of the future renters stated talking $#}% to you on instagram about being hurt. I'd be pissed too....

Man, we are straight up chasing this guy out of Buffalo because he had unlucky injuries. Get it straight people, you fired first, on his instagram, on his facebook, on his twitter. Sure that happens to all athletes, but when they fire back don't act shocked and appalled because you acted like the douchebags first.

Get it straight, fans don't chase players anywhere; dollars draw them to their next home.

so when he denigrates those on instagram with little jobs, others with "little" jobs have no cause to be offended? of course they do. he's judging everyone that doesn't have an important job like catching footballs and running fast...

 

I kind of feel like your looking to be offended. If you weren't shouting at him and his kid like an animal on his Instagram account he isn't talking to you. Sometimes people look for things to set them off, that is what this appears to be.
