She has a point insofar as it sucks for them and the Saints showed a lack of integrity going back on their word.

On the other hand, they are a business. They are not out to please one person. They're out to make money. They made the right move from a competitive standpoint. Sorry you got butthurt, lady.

First you have to prove the Saints told him that. When the story was being reported, they said the saints were shopping or releasing him. Darren Sproles came out and said he hasn't heard anything. Now she says he was told he would be released. Who is telling the truth, him or his wife?
Also, she goes on and on in a vulgar way, and in the same breath mentions God. This might tell you a little bit about her.

I doubt the Saints "promised" him anything. They didn't have to do that.

Now, it's possible that they thought that there was no way he had any trade value and simply said that he was in line to be released and then were surprised when a market for him actually developed but that's not going back on their word. The situation changed.

Of course she has a point. They told him one thing, then did another without informing him at all. People in here keep saying business is business and that is true, they say the Saints need to do what is best business for them and that is true but I weep for the day when we all decided the best practice for a business was to treat their employees like shite.

Pro sports is more of a meat market in terms of buying and selling than most businesses, but even with a big fat contract the players are still human beings.

If paying me millions is treating me like "shite", where do I sign up?

I like Sproles but he only was on the team for 3 years!! This is not like a long term team leader was led along by the front office... 3 YEARS!! Sorry bro but 3 years doesn't get you free release when there is a mid-round draft pick out there for trade.

This right here. It happens - the guy is making millions and going from one high powered offense to another = There are worse things in life for sure. I don't love the way Smitty was just booted out of here, but, it happens and it's not like it's personal. Not sure how you enter the league and think that a franchise will view you as anything other than a means to make money.

The second tweet confirms the fact that she's an idiot.

Damn...she is gonna fit in perfectly with Philly fans.

She would be voted Mrs. 700 Level if the old Vet was still around.

No argument there. Even Greenie said so when he read her tweet on air during Mike and Mike this morning.

It doesn't sound like the saints went back on their word. They said we are releasing you and I doubt they gave him a pink promise and then interest arose so that changed.

Sproles should have known what was up when he wasn't immediately released. People get fired and asked to move all the time in business, you will make millions to move stfu.
