Re: NFL
Anyone at the show or who saw the news that night knows he was bombed out of his mind...not that that's an excuse, but he was running around like a maniac.
Tough times ahead for the Eagles locker room and Mike Vick's brother already contradicting Mike and offering a bounty for Cooper on the field.

Re: NFL
lol if there is anyone who has no business speaking out about this, I don't care what he did or what words he said, it's the Vick's. I understand mike as the QB has too, I just find it incredibly hilarious. Marcus can rot in hell

Thats because he's a moron. If you really didn't want it to affect what goes on on the football field, you don't add controversy.McCoy, however, was the only player to comment on Cooper's slur without requesting anonymity.

Re: NFL
Agreed. Deon Sanders said something on NFL Network that actually made sense. Basically, he said that until black people stop using that term, it's going to continue to be used by non-blacks.count2infinity wrote:Am I the only one that thinks this whole Riley Cooper thing should have been a non-story?

Re: NFL
Cooper isn't THAT good, which is probably why he is expendable at this time even with the problems the Eagles have at WR.
I think the incident got blown way out of proportion. Dude probably could have beat his wife and got less negative pub. Just seems wrong to me.

I'm sure if he were on camera beating his wife in public, there would be extensive backlash. It's just that the incident was caught on film and people are getting an audio and a visual of what he did. Seems pretty obvious to me why this is getting all the attention...it's just easy for the media to use.

I think Screamin' A was saying something similar last Friday. But I can't use him as a point of reference on this subject since he dropped the N bomb on TV not once, but twice.meow wrote:Agreed.

By no means do I agree with what Cooper said, but players have done much worse things in society and were not only able to return to play in the NFL, but were able to return to their old team.

Things that alienate them from a segment of that team? Its not like what he said had no impact on the players on his team like a(n alleged) murder would.JS© wrote:I think Screamin' A was saying something similar last Friday.

I really hope he makes it back. People dont like him, but hes so far from being one of the problems with the nfl, its crazy.

Agree 100% would love to see him get another shot. Felt the same way when the Steelers brought back Plax last yearRylan wrote:T.O. is one of my favorite NFLers. He may have an ego, but he always backed it up and was a hell of a receiver.
