Besides, this whole discussion is academic.  Same contract, new contract with pay cut, new contract with raise...none of it would have mattered.  I mean, according to Coggie, his current physical health is so terrible he couldn't possibly have played football this season anyway.  When he retired he made it perfectly clear just what a mess he was physically.  I mean yeah, he's working out at a gym, and drinking shots the day he was released, but I'm sure that's just a smokescreen, him putting on a brave face to mask those debilitating health issues he mentioned.  Thanks to his health, no matter what the contract situation was, he was never going to take another snap again in his life.  Right?  I mean...he wouldn't lie about his health, right?  That would be a real scumbag thing to do...  ?

Do you know the person who is the most happy that he was represented by Parker? Jason Peters. He ended up with a contract commensurate with his talents, having a long career with a team where when it

I don't think it's a stretch to assume Richie may have said or done something unhinged in the gym that would qualify him getting Baker Acted.

Maybe, but being Baker Acted for getting into an altercation is not the typical response.  Getting arrested or detained would be the typical responses.

He has a history of possible psychiatric behavior.  I doubt he threw the dumbbell at the guy, then said sorry and went quietly.

Maybe he was cut because he really is a scumbag?

Wow. Wtf. 

 

I can see why the Bills probably don't want him anywhere near the team. He seems to be falling back to his old ways.

I totally thought that this was just a joke until I read it in that TMZ article. lol

That is why this is VERY odd and there has to be something more to the story or the story is wrong.

 

Bizarre.

It's not bizarre because Broward County Public Schools have specific policies that ultimately hid Cruz's nutbag behavior. If Richie Incognito were a student at Broward County Public Schools (instead of just acting like one), he'd be in a special class to keep him away from others before anyone reported him. Asses in seats is how teachers get paid. It's a completely different situation from Incognito.

That was exactly my thought when the whole twitter rant went down ending with a tweet about a crisis intervention pro being "trouble", then followed by ~ a month of radio silence - that Richie was either "off his meds" or f@#$ them up with self-medication (alcohol, etc).  He has acknowledged in interviews using alcohol/pot/cocaine etc when he was with the St Louis Rams, showing up still drunk/hungover to practice the next morning, and getting counseling/medical treatment for mental disorders.

I'll always maintain that I find Richie to be a thoroughly distasteful human being but I have given him credit over the past 3-4 years for being honest and open about seeking help. It's been an integral part of his rehabilitation; fronting up to his past sins and trying to put structures in place to keep those circumstances from happening again. Alas, it seems as though the structures in place have faltered, for one reason or a number of them.

 

Richie Incognito the football player isn't the issue anymore, the same as when he first went off the deep end. He has to be himself until the day he dies and I hope that he finds himself on the right track soon because I fear that day might be sooner than later if he goes back to being that same destructive person again.

I clicked and could not help but take a look at what Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend was up to . . . after recently having a baby a few months ago.

 

There also was the story about Incognito.

Incognito is clearly mentally unstable, though I'm not certain why they haven't arrested him.

Perhaps they were tipped off about his drunk rampage phone call to the Pegulas and decided he just needed psychiatric help.

As an aside, whether you take your or my side on the Richie contract situation, it is clear that he would have been better off at OTA's in the structured environment of a football team.  When that becomes part of your family, it is difficult not to have that anymore.

Who's fault is it that Richie would not have been at OTA's?

 

The bills didnt cut him...they wanted him.

Buddy, are you looking for a fight?

 

Please read the beginning of my freaking sentence:

 

"As an aside, whether you take your or my side on the Richie contract situation . . . ."

 

I was making what I thought was a non-provocative statement to try to reach some middle ground on this issue with fellow board members. 

 

If you want to continue to argue, go ahead and argue with yourself . . . .
