The idea was Larry was supposed to mentor him. Show him how to put in the extra work and help him off the field. Ok know they were both from Mini. I remember early in his career Larry was pushing him to work harder during OTA's and other optional work outs or just to join them in general.

Believe they said since he was a 1st rounder, will finish his contract with NE, they'll get it if they don't sign him. Smart move.

I checked back into this, and he will not count for a compensatory pick. Players acquired mid-season do not count unless they had reached an injury settlement with their previous team.

Thank you for the update. I do appreciate it. Reps.

I don't know what SOP is for cops when someone is so wasted that they don't understand words or language, but I thought the cop actually handled it well by getting him out and sitting him down and trying to make himself clear.

That could have easily gone way worse once it looked like he was going to put the car in drive. The cop could've yanked him out and cuffed him on the spot and thrown him into the back of the squad car without any communication at all.

Is "super extreme" a legal term?

As I've always said, never cooperate with police when they are asking for any test or wanting you to answer questions without representation. If you have actually committed a crime, there is nothing you can gain by doing so. Obviously Mike shouldn't have been drinking and driving in the first place, and this certainly isn't condoning anyone else doing so either, but nothing good ever comes from not stretching your rights to the max. Mike could have refused the breathalyzer and demanded to be taken to the station for a blood test. The timing of which could have possibly brought his BAC below .20.

I laugh, because in the state he was in (and I don't mean AZ.) I doubt he could even reason that he had any rights. Hell, from the video I don't think he even knew he was in trouble.

Do they typically show videos like this one on Sportscenter? It is on right now and I am a bit ticked off considering he is wearing the ND hat.

Of course they show it it's not her thing. Did they show the Mixon assault?

Sportscenter has become a shit show!!

I had no doubt they would show it. They should show it, they wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't. Sucks for Mike and ND fans, but it's major sports news. They showed Ray Rice's video, they showed Mixon's and they showed every other embarrassing tape that comes out for any major athlete. Sucks that it's our guy, but they're consistent.

"Gronk" is a verb in New England.

Floyd can play...sad to see his energy and focus only show up when you plug him into a team that is already a contender. Bet Fitz and the Cards would have loved some of that...being he was paid to do it and all.

Not a Mike Floyd fan right now...will always wish him well but I don't like the look here at all.
