Oh know he didn't !



 Seeing as how I was laid up from work today I have been submerst in the latest NFL news on NFL mobile and NFL network. Today are very own defensive leader Larry Foote said and I quote. " THANK GOD I didn't sign a longterm deal with detroit" Now I will admit its not the greatest place to play right now but I was exstatic that we got Larry last year I always had a great respect for him. Today he lost some of that from me. He hasn't left the D with much dignity begging the cards to give him a job. I could have swore not just 2 months ago he was upset that detroit didn't see him as a priority but it sounded like he wanted to return. Larry helped are young guys out alot and was a true leader on this team. Am I the only one dissapointed in the things he has said sense he left? It certainly takes away from the way we treated him while he was here.

thank you

i noticed this also—i don’t understand the love for this guy. he can go back to Pittberger and sit on the bench for a huge paycheck. sure he had some tackles (but so did guys like Lenon and Claiborne). IMO, i think Foote was weakest link in LBs rotation.

Raise your hand

if you give a fuck about what a back-up LB who was outplayed by a rookie last year has to say…
I rest my case
Thank God the Lions didn’t sign Foote to a long-term deal

I can't think of a good sig to put here

Signing Foote would have been a mistake. He is trying to sound like the winner in the situation; we all know you’re too old. Enjoy watching the Steelers go 8-8

Good luck too him, though

with that said- Mr. Foote, here is your long-distance dedication

Foote will get cut after this year by the Steelers, and then he will come back begging us to “finish his career at home”.

F*** him. He can rot in linebacker obscurity for all I care. What a doucebag!

Not quite nothing lol

I hope he plays enough to warrent the Lions getting a 3rd rd compensatory pick for the 2011 draft

same here.....

….would like ot get something out of it

by BennieBladesFan on Mar 16, 2010 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

excuse my french

but fuck Larry Foote, he’s just salty that the Lions didn’t want to bring him back. Nobody wants his old over the hill ass anyways, he’s going back to the Steelers as a backup because the Cardinals realized making this guy their starter would be shameful. Fuck you Larry Foote, and don’t ever come back to Detroit.

by motown313 on Mar 16, 2010 5:47 PM EDT reply actions  

wasnt his whole reason for leaving pittsburgh that he wanted to start somewhere?

and now after 1 season he crawls back to them and will come off the bench….

i really felt from the begining that he was trying to cash in on his hometown ties, mayhew was smart for only giving him a year and even smarter for not trying to resign him…

See, this is what I'm talking about.

Foote’s like “I wanna build some shit in Detroit”.

then, they get stomped like anybody who lives in this country knew they would, 2W-14L.

Foote then says “I wanna go to a winner”.. like he signed with us thinking 2009/10 was going to be a successful season.

now he’s all “Thank God I didn’t sign a long-term.”…

why play games like that, Larry? The only loser here is you, to be honest. These comments make you look stupid, in every way.

since when...

is 29 considered OLD?? look, he’s a much better 3-4 LB, and he played like it last year. we should have known that going into the season. as far as not signing a long term deal, the feeling is mutual. why all the hard feelings? panties twisted?

by haywood on Mar 16, 2010 9:51 PM EDT reply actions  

it's more a feeling of betrayal.

He spent last off-season painting himself as this crusader of justice who was so valiantly returning to his hometown to help change the fortunes of a franchise that’s been the laughingstock of the league for the last decade.

Exactly one year later, he’s leaving because we didn’t offer him enough money, and he’s on national TV thanking god that he’s not playing for us anymore.

This doesn’t strike you as two-faced? Right now I got the O’Jays “backstabbers” on repeat. It’s not that he left; it’s the complete lack of class he did it with, and the way he disrespected an organization that had only a year ago embraced him with open arms.

by motown313 on Mar 16, 2010 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

+ infinity

My setiment exactly. He was suppose to be the first big name that helped the Lions win. He wanted to be a part of it and we loved him for that. This is a knife in the back.

by The Profiler on Mar 17, 2010 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

just because he wanted to play here?

somehow hes this mythical being who was going to lead us to the super bowl? he was what he was, an average to below average 4-3 LB. and hes not exactly the one who parted ways, the lions made a VERY conscious decision not to resign him. if you thought anything more than that, or for some reason became emotionally attached to an overrated LB, thats on you. i personally dont give a shit what he thinks about the D.

by haywood on Mar 18, 2010 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

nobody said he was gonna lead us to a super bowl.

I have no idea where you got that from. And also, if you read my post, it’s not that he left. It’s that he decided to be so unprofessional about it, and talk shit about the team in the process.

And, in case you couldn’t tell by all the other posts, you seem to be the only one who doesn’t have a problem with it.

I'd like to see a link before going off

But if he truly did say that then yeah, I’m pretty disappointed.

To me....

…it sounds like he’s just another one of those bandwagon bitches that can’t hack it long enough to help take a team from zero to hero. We’re going to be a good team, and I don’t want any of these can’t hack it panty wastes that wear their momma’s bras around when it happens. I want guys who stuck with us through thick and thin. Guys who aren’t in it for the personal glory, but for the game.

The only reason the Steelers signd him...

is because they need a big brother to follow Ben around and help him keep it in his pants. I hope he enjoys being the best paid babysitter in the world because unless some serious injuries happen he wont see playtime. Yeah good move Larry, better to be a bitch in Pit than try to be a man in the D. Absolutely classless. I can only hope he permanently relocates to Pittsburgh. If he was my neighbor I would make sure to let my dog do its business on his lawn every night. Hell I might just buy a horse too, at the very least a Great Dane or two.

You know the Steelers used to be my second favorite team

Now they can fuck off. You know what we need to do. We need to kick the piss out of the Steelers, and we need to play Styx Renegade like every two minutes during the game. That song was written in Detroit you pansy Steeler bitches and we are going to reclaim that shit.

by Evilsmurf on Mar 17, 2010 2:59 AM EDT reply actions  

LOL

YEAH!! They should also be forced to play LADY for 5 years straight after that! And Jerome Bettis’ stats should be struck from their history because he was from Detroit too! LOL!

Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!
