Looks like Pierce has been a naughty boy this year...

[Luxorreb]

Pierce played well when he was here. He wasn't a star. He wasn't Lavar. Now I watch him play like an overweight Roy Williams. The safety Roy Williams ofcourse. Coverage worthy of Archuleta proportions. Speed like Joe Bugel. He's done.

That's not the point. I think you and Curmudgeon are missing the point here. What's annoying about Pierce is here's a guy who is given a chance to play in the NFL by the Redskins when no one else did. Props to him for working hard when given the opportunity and emerging as a top linebacker, enough so that he could go out and make demands on the free agent market. Now, instead of thanking the Redskins for giving him his opportunity, or even just keeping his mouth shut he's spent the past four years bad mouthing the Redskins at nearly every opportunity he gets. I have no problem with people leaving teams for "business reasons" but if it's business, then just keep it business. Pierce makes it personal.

i get the point that Pierce doesn't. it is strictly business. you cant cry about loyalty, and then just sign with the highest bidder. sometimes i really think that he wishes he would have stayed

I don't get it either. I thought if you were a fan then you were a fan for life. Maybe my view is jaded.

And on Pierce, he's just another play on another team. Hope all this drama messes up team chemistry and the Giants lose. Who cares

You're leaving out the main part Giantone. I said he basically comes across as a jerk. He was one of my favorite players until he got a big head and started acting like a prima donna. I feel the same way about him leaving as any other player. If you don't want to play for the Redskins, fine, seeya. But there is no need to badmouth the team after you leave. He wasn't treated badly. And that BS with Kendall in our first game just shows what he has become. Even after the Super Bowl he acted like a moron. "PUT THAT IN YOUR PAPERS! WRITE THAT." Please. Real Classy. There's no need to be upset with us because your team is going in the toilet Giantone. I can promise you we had nothing to do with it.

Who cares if he is cheating on his wife...half the NFL probably does that. And plenty of regular people who are not followed by cameras do it every day.

What a night!! Get drunk, fool around on your wife, club hopping, friend shoots himself, drive drunk and falsify medical records.

How do you know that he was drunk and on top of that drunk driving. If you read the article it stated the lady drove them to the hospital. If we are going to bash someone atleast stick to facts.

It doesn't make it right but people do it all the time. In all walks of life. Men and women. I'm not going to judge Pierce cause he's getting some on the side. If that were the case I'd lose half of my friends. But he's dumb as hell openly acting like this in public when people know who he is. What a total dumb ass.

If I remember it correctly Pierce was openly told by Gibbs that he was a core Redskin. I remember Gibbs saying that and how bad we needed to keep this guy. That was in 04 when Pierce led one of the best defenses in the NFL. So if you're told that by Gibbs and they let you walk how would you feel? All this while we over pay for certain free agents who couldn't play yet we do not pay one of our own who proved it on the field. No question Pierce should've handled it differently but I understand his bitterness. He wanted to stay here.

Pierce's wife is hot and I wouldn't mind honoring her in anyway she pleases. As for Pierce himself, he might be interested in doing some math.

Check it out, but I think the offers were about the same from both teams

[SmootSmack]

I think the difference essentially came down to a $6 million signing bonus versus a $4 million signing bonus. But just like Gibbs was saying they really wanted to keep Pierce. Pierce was saying he'd be willing to take less to stay a Redskin, which of course he didn't. The Redskins had already kept Pierce from leaving when the Vikings made an offer for him, but they just didn't do it twice. It happens, move on...yet Pierce can't.

First, I really don't give a sh*t about Pierce. If you read the article it stated they drank two bottles of Patron and they were out partying for a while (at different locations) before Plaxico shot himself. Did the article say she was the designated driver all night? So, he could have drove earlier.
