Orange bowl announcers know that and aren't saying it. Ridiculous. Amazing how the public respect for #7 has diminished b/c of his decision not to play.

Makes me wonder if some inside football ops aren't happy with his decision and aren't doing anything proactive to put out information that he isn't healthy.

They just need something to talk about in what was a boring game

Glad you started a new thread. Now the melon heads will use this as an excuse to give us their useless bullshite negative opinions on this subject.

This will be one of the biggest impacts to big prospects.


These decisions will soon be the norm

Yea I bet that's exactly what happened. Derek probably called Steve Levy personally and told him to talk poorly about Leonard. It was on page 15 of the binder.

He said he was about 90 percent a few weeks ago...so yeah, I think he's healthy right now

They know that this hurts ratings. They are trying to intimidate other high profile players to play.

FYI: Butt got hurt tonight. He is a projected first round pick. Peppers also out from yesterdays practice.

He did it to himself, but it probably won't change his draft stock one bit.

They don't give a shite about the truth. They just need talking points. It's nothing new. Happens in all lines of journalism.

He's sitting out because of his ankle. He has tried multiple times to play through it. Time to protect himself. Nothing wrong with that.

Maybe you should tweet them to let'em know LF's situation?

No longer part of the team is the issue/problem. He is supposed to be one of the leaders of the team.

No, respect has diminished because he signed with an agent before the end of the yearand blew off his last commitment to cheer his teammates EVEN IF HURT..
shite move, worthy of being called out. Should not have been done, period...
I am a huge LF7 fan but horribly disappointed in his terrible decision...

Next year NO ONE will even remember this and LF will be rich as frick! Who gives a good got damn. If these players are first rounders and are hurt they better not play! Now I don't agree with him signing early bc that shite could have waited period BUT there is NO parent in this thread that would tell their son to play with any kind of injury if he's a first rounder UNLESS and that's maybe if he was playing for a national championship, MAYBE. Even that isn't worth your career sorry. Now if you are healthy then I disagree with it altogether. GT

They made sure they ran that talking point into the ground tonight. Sure they could have mentioned LF was fighting a nagging injury but he quit the team before the end of the season so he could sign with an agent.
