lol....right?

I mean could he possibly regret it as much as the team now does?

I was unable to find anything concerning his guaranteed money...this is about all I could find:

# 2009: $1.2 million
# 2010: $1.65 million
# Total: $2.85 million

and he could earn 3 million in incentives..

I'm guessing that he had to have gotten at least a half million guaranteed...

If any of us got a job, worked for a month or two and totally sucked at it, got fired and walked away with that much money......what the hell would we regret? lol

i would regret sucking at it so bad they cut me right after my first pres-season game.

good. now i dislike him even more. too bad i semi root for the 49ers. he's a baddie if he gets playing time he's going to cost them at least one game hahaha

I don't think that sounded bitter. I thought it sounded honest. Not everybody fits everywhere.

Excuses,excuses,escuses.
fact is, put up or shut up!!!

Basically this job was too hard for him and he would rather have an easier time on a worse team. What a competitor.

Everything is going to be okay. Mama said it's a new day.

I know that not everyone fits everywhere but he is playing football. For lack of a better saying it is 'a man's game'. Discipline tends to win ball games last time I checked. See ya man.

The fit goes both ways. Acknowledging that fact doesn't mean you're crying. It just means you recognized that. I expect that the Dolphins may regret having signed him too.

I don't think he's bad mouthing the team. I just think he's saying it was a bad fit.

Fins were best to cut thier losses when they did-I'm sure he don't regret that signing bonus he walked with.

Yeah, seems like Tony regretted signing him, too.....

I have a feeling he didn't get that much of a signing bonus because it was clear that he was coming in to compete for a job, and not to automatically be the starter

agree'd

Seemed to me from his interview he just didn't like the discipline and hard work here. He prefers a laid back, easy does it program like AZ or 49'ers. Mike Singletary must have mellowed BIG TIME in his "older" years.

I think it says it all when your mother says you need to play with greater enthusiasm.
What was the bigger mistake? Him signing with the Dolphins or the Dolphins signing him?

I don't know.....

He is supposed to be a professional and all. I agree he wasn't a good a fit cause he just didn't want to put in the work to be on this football team.

Or maybe he just wanted to see Coach Singletary's butt I don't know.:lol:
