    HOLY 'stinkin' Mackeral ! !

    What a disappointment that fella was.

    Of course somebody will. It's the NFL, and everybody's looking for widebodies on the d-line. Some coach will hope he's got the "magic" to turn the guy around. Bet he'll be signed by the end of the first week of training camp.

      BTW - Get your stereotypes correct. Mexicans pick the watermelons, the brothers just eat them.
      Last time I checked everyone eats watermelon and chicken.

        You folks dont seem to recall that Gilbert Fucking Brown was a gift to us from Dennis Green.

        Perhaps Washington is a gift to another team from Mike "Prima Donna" McCarthy? Me think so.

          It occurs to me that Gilbert actually has a middle name and I'm pretty sure that in the delivery room, that's not the one his mama gave him. That's great if Ol' Donnel goes out and works out great for another team. He just wasn't working for ours. Time to let it go. He's gone. Get over it.

            Go back in time for a moment. Gilbert Fucking Brown was an overweight rookie DT for the Vikings. They cut him cos he was too lazy. A gift to us from the enemy.

                That's great. He wasn't working out for them and keeping him probably wouldn't have helped either one of them out. Was it the change that caused a change in attitude? Maybe. Would he ever have changed had he stayed where he was? Maybe. But there's no way to prove it either way so there's no sense arguing about it. He worked out well here. Perhaps Donnel will find another team that he fits into better and his fresh start will cause a change in attitude. Maybe not, but you can't say for sure one way or the other so there's no sense blaming anyone for deciding to cut the cord on a player who wasn't working out with our team. (then again, that's never stopped you before. )

                  Was Gilbert F. Brown a pothead?

                  Also, Brown was much more athletic in his prime than Donnell F. Washington will ever be. Washington is strong but not particularly athletic---plays with terrible leverage ... has no "knee bend" ... etc.

                  Washington will probably go to camp somewhere just based upon his size & strength---he looks like a football player---but he'll never be a player.

                    Yeah, I hear there is a guy affiliated with the Texans who is salvating at the prospect of picking Donnell up.

                      I'll bet TT and Co. joked about calling down there and seeing if they could get a 3rd round pick for him ... Maybe ol' Shermie could pull a few strings ...
