I just listened to the comments he made on Sportscenter. Personally, I don't think he needed to apologize to the team. Joey Harrington has not played worth a crap in the last two years.

dre's my man, but that was pretty classless

HANG T.O. FOR SAYING NABB WAS TIRED BUT ITS OK FOR DRE BLY TO SAY HARRINGTON SUCKS AND IS THE ROOT OF ALL THEIR PROBLEMS.

T.O. has a history. It got old really fast. He was talking shit about teams that were winning, and then they started to lose.This is Dre's first offense, and you can make the case that he's spot on. I'll rip Bly for not being on the field a lot over the past couple seasons, but in the end Harrington has flopped when given plenty of opportunity to succeed.[Edited on November 30, 2005 at 8:51 PM.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. He didn't even knock Harrington. He was just taking up for the coach.All he was saying is that the coach only got fired due to a unusual situation (your starting QB being out). He was only suggesting that if the main man to run his offense would've been in the game, there'd be no reason to fire him. He wasn't saying that all the failures of the team were the fault of Harrington, he was just saying the coach was fired due to unexpected circumstances.

^don't be stupid

^ I'm only referring to that small clip they showed on SC. I can't comment on the full interview.That last sentence you bolded: there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. Had he said: "Joey's sucked before, he's sucking now", then it's different. Admitting a teammate is struggling is not a taboo thing to do. It shouldn't be. Otherwise every interview is gonna end up sounding like Chuck Amato saying "we're so close" and "well, we're playing out fannies off". The world needs a little honesty.

Fuck that. If a teammate of mine goes to the press and says that I've struggled before and I'm struggling now, I'd punch that motherfucker. Even if it were true. Teammates have to respect and support each other, not criticize. Otherwise there are chemistry and trust issues. If you've ever played a team sport, you'd know that.
11/30/2005 9:03:32 PM
the QB is part of the team, and he sucksi agree that he shouldn't have said it, nothing good can come of itbut the truth of what he said isn't debatable, harrington absolutely sucks, and he's had what, 4 years?what good is chemistry on a bad team that shows little sign of succeeding?this is like the argument of whether it's right to criticize the government, patriotism, etc.[Edited on November 30, 2005 at 9:16 PM. Reason : and if joey harrington were to throw a punch, he'd not only miss badly but tear his rotator cuff too]

Well maybe Mooch should have realized that 2 years ago and traded him. Or brought in someone who isn't so injury-prone.

Bly was the a fucking stud, a badass, maybe the best cover corner I had ever seen in college.... until Peter Warrick fucked him in the ass like a little bitch, Bly has never been the same ever since
