Turley was a real character and a popular player at one point but he could be a real jerk.

I even had his back after his boneheaded personal foul penalth cost us the Jets game because at least he was taking up for his QB. But he obviously took that way too far.

I remember listening to him on WWL one night, while he was still on the team, just ripping in to the Saints organization. He was callng Loomis a joke of a GM, saying that he was "nothing but a bean counter". It was obvious that he was trying to burn his bridges so they would ship him elsewhere, which they promptly did.

Glad to hear that he is doing well now.

Came across this article from when he first signed with the Rams:

Some of it was him being an arse, but a lot of it seems pretty concurrent with where the Saints were before the Payton/Brees era.

You're mad at him for speaking the truth? That's always been the case with Loomis. He's a financial/contractual wizard but not someone who can readily identify the talent. That's the whole reason why Ireland has a spot with the Saints.
