They just say all the positives about the player they can, wish them well and move on. Troy Blackburn has not only been part of poor decisions, he has handled the backlash with defensive, classless comments.
Troy said exactly the same thing that many teams say to their aging players. If that was classless then so is the rest of the league.
The fact that Whit's wife took it as "personal" doesn't change a thing. She (and some fans here) did not get it but Andrew did. It was just a business decision like every other team in the league often makes. That is why Whit said he still loves the Bengals.
