Well, I was holding together pretty well until I had to change my signature ...
Bro, gimme a break, okay?! If he's been thinking about it for a while, then he should've said something at the end of last year! Not a week before camp!! The team and all the fans have the right to be angry with him because he left them no options and now they are ROYALLY SCREWED!! This whole season and probably the next two are gonna be wasted just trying to get a replacement and whatever it's gonna cost us to get it!DPlus47 said:i'm not buying the last place thing, and i'm hoping a lot of this anger on the board subsides with time. "would have been better if he'd had a career ending injury???" what kind of nonsense is all this? part of what makes people want to get away from the limelight is the fact that they're not people to the masses, they're OBJECTS, and it's clear from this thread that ricky was just an object to many. yeah, the timing could have been better, but life deals you situations and you have to deal with them. and get this, it's not even real life we're talking about here (for us), it's football! i'm not gonna hate the guy for doing this, because it's his life; it's just my distraction. yeah, i shelled out money for jerseys and whatever, but the guys on the field are the ones who are going to live with some type of physical pain for the rest of their lives (yes, they're well-paid for it, but they pay a price). personally, i have enjoyed rooting for ricky and the team over the past two years. it's sorta like the shaq effect: when he's out there, you have a chance to beat anyone. that kind of hope is worth a lot, even if it's short-lived.
p.s. i may be insane, but i still think the team has a chance to win some games, and they have been out of the playoffs for two years...

I think Polian would listen............and you could make it conditional on getting Edge's signature on an extention, first (he'll be an UFA after the season, otherwise).
Do it, please ! Love Edge, but this may be doable, and let's face it, we'll win without him and strengthen our team at the same time !.............Now, is Ogunleye really that bad against the run ? That's our problem, too.:cry:
That's one of the most ridiculous trade scenarios I've ever heard.CanColt said:Listen..................make the Colts an offer. You gave up 2 #1's and swapped a 4th for Ricky................why not give the Colts next year's #1 and #3 along with Ogunleye.
