Larry Foote Wants to Play for a Winner Again

 Seems he has a problem with teams that decide he’s not the long-term answer.

 I find the fact that only Arizona has talked to him (and they turned him down) as pointing to the fact that no one believes he’s the long-term answer for ANY team. Sad to see he’ll end up with his last option.

" Yeah I wanna go home and help them turn things around, turn detroit into a winner. OOOHHH NOESSS LOSING IS HARD SOMEONE HELP ME."

I am being harsh, but at this point I am impartial.

Thanks for your services.

Good Luck elsewhere.

……Horrible arttitude…..Go play for the cards and miss the playoffs!!!!……besides levy is better then you Mr Foote thats why he will be starting.

up for anyone else?

I wish Larry good luck wherever he lands, but the parting short was pretty lousy and seems very petty and trite. Especially considering he was trumpting what a home town guy he is. I understand him being bummed at the Lions not offering him a deal. But in the end the NFL is big buisness..even Joe Montana was let go from the 49ers…and with Levy looking to be an up and coming player and playing on par with Foote why would they pay the old veteran when they can use the money to shore up younger talent. It would have been nice to have him back, just from his locker room presence alone, but the Lions are soo bad and they have so many holes they need to be as judicious as possible with the resources they have.

He wanted to play for a winning team. And he want to be in the 3-4 scheme. That is all he has known in his NFL career.

… is that Larry is just bitter. I used to respect this guy until this comment. As and avid Michigan football fan I remember him from his days at U of M. He is an above average player but he is no super star. he is also old and noticeably slower than he used to be. To this comment I would say this… Look Larry, rather than pouting like a bi*** why don’t you just get over it. Levy is younger, faster, and almost as good at reading plays, he is also is not looking for the cash you are. I used to think of you as a class guy, loyal to the hometown, but now I see your just looking for the big pay day. Face it, you cant cut the starting lineup on most of the NFL teams. In fact I would be surprised if you could start on more than a handful of them. Any team that gets you is looking for one of two things. Either to get by for a year or two until your totally washed up so they can develop young talent in the meantime, or they will want a veteran presence in the locker room and on the field. Good luck with filling either of those roles adequately with the attitude you have.

Good luck to Foote

Doesn’t mean I’m gonna switch teams like a little bitch. But good luck anyways Foote.

but I can’t be mad at the guy. He left a superbowl winning team to come fill a gaping hole in a 0-16 team. For that I will always like the guy and only wish him well. I hope that whatever team he ends up on next wins the superbowl the year after the Lions.

I liked it when he came here, he had a good attitude. But in retrospect, I think all the talk of “saving his hometown team” and “turning the ship around” was a cover for the fact that he wouldn’t get the money or the snaps he would get in Detroit. So instead of saying, “uhh, this is the best I can get at this point in my career.” he decided to spin it around to look like a superhero and fan favorite.

He had alot of tackles, big deal, so did Paris Lenon. Good riddance, have fun playing teams on the down instead of one on the up, as long as they sign the check, I’m sure you don’t care though.

Isn’t that funny that organizations are monsters if they don’t resign a player or they cut a player, but players aren’t when they go to the highest bidder. It’s business, so stop whining and go be mediocre already.
