there’s more to the story, no way it was just pizza that did it
Was it the Professor in the Study with the Candlestick? :ugeek:

I hate this petty Social Fedia BS its like whinerville. And I agree with herns - more to it. And I got only so much attention span for it.

If there was more to it, they should’ve either put it in there as well or just left that out. Since Smith’s version of the events was the only one that actually made the special aside from vague allusions to disrespect, it looks like you cut the XFL’s leading rusher for very specious reasons.

There’s also Riley mentioning bringing in Perez because because Holmes wasn’t good in camp; I thought it was cause he broke a bone in his foot.

Ya we all assumed it was due to injury but it seemed more like Riley cut him pre injury in United by Football

no I disagree nick.

You don't operate your business to the whining of the new Roman Coliseum - the twit mob. It's just TMI on TMI that's why I didn't watch UbF. Don't need the drama, just show me the FB.

Plus Wilson's response was effectively to dismiss it entirely. Funny thing about Madre London: his backfield mate at MSU was L.J. Scott, the guy who walked out of Browns camp, and somehow he couldn't take carries from him. Not entirely consistent with the "YOU DON'T WANNA ...... BE HERE, WE CAN GET YOU ...... OUTTA HERE" at the beginning.

Don't know why he wouldn't. Haley only has two RBs on the roster so Tampa wouldn't have been a surprise though that might be more a schematic thing. Lot of good running games this weekend so Smith might be stuck at RB3, say if Michigan picked him up.
