His story is interesting to me for some reason. He was a perfect gentleman during his second stint in Buffalo, and seemingly had things together. That all fell apart leading into his "retirement" and then he was back to being squirrely again. Now maybe he has things on track? He must have a fairly serious mental condition that is not a problem for him when he is on his meds and seeing doctors. If he goes off that, he goes off the rails. His story is mostly about mental illness.
BillsFan4 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I mean... there is no other choice for Hard Knocks at this point, right?

I mean the man is very ill and they are taking a chance on him, however small. Bill Parcells once said that it was harder to find a good guard than a wide receiver in the draft. I do not know this to be true but I heard him say it.

Burfict, of course, is another story. What???? He routinely got voted dirtiest player in the nfl. Ive never seen a player get as many passes and excuses for his behavior than RI. I guess it’s good that he has football because he would be in prison otherwise. I will say that I would testify on his part after he does something really bad after he retires. This dude has some serious mental issues but let’s let him keep ramming his head. I just hope I’m not around him when he really blows. But in a way, this is what the Raiders should be. The greatest hard knocks team ever.

Nothing that any one of us wouldn’t have done....
