I get ya. But that whole blow up was because people love to make mountians out of mole hills. I like Pouncys attitude in a small way, F'em lets get back to business as usual. BUT.....someone does need to tell him, it can never be business as usual again. The Pacifists and Liberals saw there little opening and they marched in and shut it down. No more teasing or hazing. At least not on the Dolphins , Ground Zero of Bullyville USA apparently. But you taking it way out of proportion and saying he needs to leave the team........That's just as wrong.
I had the same kind of issue with another person here. I made a dumb joke about a train crash up in NYC a little while back. In retrospect what I said probably wasn't funny but it wasn't a big deal either. A PM to me and I probably would have thanked him and learned from it.
Oh No. Not this Ahole. You would have thought I murdered someone. So I handled it the exact opposite and now that person is on ignore. Nothing solved.
My Point? Relax. better ways to handle stuff. J Martin did not handle what he was going through correctly.His parents left him sheltered growing up and as a result he can't solve simple problems or handle failure. Pouncy needs to Grow the F Up already. Leave the Thug thing behind. Calling for jobs and getting all out of alignment is only going to hurt the Team. This is where Philbin needs to improve. I hope he called him in his office showed him Pictures of his Boy Aaron in jail and asked him privately.....we are thinking of picking up your 5th yr option. SON......you are at a crossroads. Do you want to join Aaron and be a thug in prison , or do you want to Grow the F up and be a professional Ball player? HINT: The Ball player pays better......
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
