Jones and old man Mike are two peas from the same pod but when push comes to shove he does “Bend over backwards” (sound familiar?) to get em done.

60mil a year 5 more than Burrow nearly all fully guaranteed.

What’s Browns excuse now?

Cops never improperly behave or abuse authority (sarcasm alert)

If I have to make a snap-choice judgement on who I assume was being a PoS between a random cop or Tyreek Hill who likes beating pregnant women, breaking his child's bones, and breaking other women's bones..... that's not a hard choice at all.

He's wildly talented at football, but real scum as a human being.

Yea it's easy to see Tyreek with the "Do you know who the f*** I am?" line.

I am not a Mike Brown fan, at all, but if you say I could replace the Brown family with the Jones family, I would not do it. Now that Dan Synder's creepy self is gone, I'd say Jones is the next on the list of low class human being owners. I actually don't think Brown is a bad man, per se.

He  wiretapped his ex girlfriend proved the charges false. But accusations mean guilt to you?

No, him pleading guilty in 2014 to punching and choking the woman pregnant with his child means guilt to me.

According to 2 teammates who were witnesses to the situation said Tyreek was immediately pulled from his car and taken to the ground no chance for him to get in a altercation like law enforcement was claiming.

So your arguing the Cop pulled him and cuffed him for no reason? Very Unlikely. 

Jefferson did not get a deal until after year 4, and he is better than Chase.

If Chase is not gonna practice, he should have been fined. Period.

Gimmee Reader & Bates back instead of Tee & Chase.

He also pleaded guilty for child abuse while at Ok. St. and dismissed from the program. He was not invited to the NFL combine because of his violent past and fell in the draft.

FWIW, Reader is active today for Detroit.

Jackson & Jenkins are out. Tee & Chase doubtful/limited.

Chase is active

Reader isn't playing Week 1. He's still not ready from his injury last year.

Despite Reader being active the jury remains if he will hold up after 2 knee surgeries. 

Tee should of been traded his injuries will always reoccur due to soft tissue.

That golfer got put all the way into jail before things came out 

And why cuff someone even if they were not fully respectful and bend a knee? This isn't North Korea. Hurt feelings are not crimes against police, who are members of the government, hence why handcuffs come off. Somebody about to have their file pulled.

I think that is fair. 

I should say, I also read Detroit elevated 2 DTs. So while he is in the "active" roster, he likely won't play today. 

I was/am just ticked at the whole Tee/Chase situations. And wanted to clap back a bit at folks who said Reader wouldn't play this year.

Certainly feels like we could've kept Reader if we had been a little more proactive seeing how well he had played getting him an extension a couple years ago. If this FO asks Chase to play this year without an extension they are a joke. Football is a business of talent and the talent are people. You have to get talent and then able to keep your talent happy. We are not very good at this. The WR group is deep for us but we are walking into the season with our top 2 distracted and not completely focused on football.
