Coach on Fairley: Should have seen trouble coming

Should have seen it before they drafted him... Everyone else did.

You can only lead them to the Water Cooler!

You can't fix stupid, Coach.

He just moved in with Jamarcus Russell

Sounds like old Gunther needs an administrative assistant to help him with his paperwork.

Something tells me Nick Fairley doesn't listen to anyone coach. He probably rfers to himself in the third person too.

refers...corrected.

Stuart wonders why you have to criticize people who refer to themselves in the third person. Stuart think it's a sign of good character.

Because Nick Fairley is no Ricky Henderson or Stuart MacDougal.

It was fairly evident.

Some of the players going to the NFL today come from broken families. With so many single mothers out there these kids have no role model. Good athletics float through high school with little teaching and if you are good enough the big name colleges come calling. Things are over look if you have the speed and toughness to play on Sunday. The only father figure some of them ever had were their coaches . Some have listen others have not and the ones that have not here comes trouble.

Enough with the excuses, this isn't the Dr. Phil show... we all were taught right from wrong at a very early age... Kid was just stupid and immature, plain and simple... if he hasn't learn anything as of yet which I hope he has he probably never will....

Its not an excuse...its a fact. It may seem easy to change ur life once u get some money & fame but it really just makes it much harder to do bc there is no incentive to change. I know thats hard for some ppl to understand bc its not something u can relate to. *shrugs* It is what it is..

Can't be critical of Detroit for drafting him, eventually someone would have taken a chance. Hope this serves as a "Wake Up" call that he learns from.

But high quality duct tape can really muffle the sound................

Let's see, play and make all these millions, or act the fool? Hmmm

Now that Pacman has been selected to particpate in a panel disscussion at the NFL's Rookie symposium next week, we should not see any of this behavior in the future.........why not let Charles Manson set in and give advice on how to love thy neighbor..........what are these people thinking???????
