Just saw this tweet.

Over the past 3.5 years, Matt Flynn has been on 6 NFL teams, started 5 games, played 498 snaps… and made $15.59M.

That's $31,305 per play.

"If your lucky enough" should be "if you're lucky enough".

Paragraph directly underneath the numbers.

Reggie Wayne asked the Patriots to release him, per Mike Reiss:

I wonder if it had much to do with a lot of Colts fans giving him stick?

That would be a bit rich of them considering his former team didn't want him. The reason he apparently left was because he found the Pats too tough and the work environment not fun. And if that's the attitude coming from a seasoned professional, it might explain why we've hammered his former team in the last 4 games.

I'd imagine a lot had to do with the workload involved in learning the playbook. Wasn't that the reason other vet WR's struggled there?

The actual tweet that broke the news, suggests to me that it was more than just a playbook issue for him...

Other players have struggled in the past, but I'm having difficulty remembering a player saying it wasn't fun as a reason for him leaving.

helimachoptor · 07-09-2015 06:31PM

forget fun, fun is winning the damn Super Bowl

adrian522 · 07-09-2015 06:34PM

I'd be surprised at that, this is the guy who played with Manning all those years, doubt he was afraid of putting the work in or learning the playbook.

You can enjoy work and still be a hard worker if he disliked the atmosphere that does not meen he was not willing to work hard

It's a place of work not a nightclub. Looks like Reggie wasn't used to the intensity and hard work that was expected to be put in at the Pats. Then again, he came from a franchise that hangs banners for winning nothing, so him wanting to have fun should come as no surprise.

adrian522 · 07-09-2015 08:55PM

Seriously, what are you basing this on?

Ah cop on reggie Wayne has won a Super Bowl and has had an amazing career he's well used to hard graft your dismissal of him is absoloutly ridiculous. As is your dismissal of the colts as a franchise.

I made a snap judgement of saying good riddancr to him but the more I thought of it the more I though you know it might not have been his cup of tea. I actually now don't blame Reggie personally as the grass always seems greener on the other side. He played for the Colts for a long time and was used to whatever made him happy there and leaving a team after a long period to go to another team might not always be a good thing even if that new team is successful. Happens people in a standard working life also. Long term employee and one day they leave to go to another company only to find its not the same as what they are used to. Human nature really. Change is not always a good thing for people whether the change is forced on them or a decision they made. Good luck to him whatever he does at this point.

Knex* · 07-09-2015 09:42PM

The Colts hold the record for most 12+ win seasons in a row, I'm sure. Or something similar anyway.

Edit: yeah, 03-09. Meaning Reggie must have one of the best WR win ratios of all time.

Yeah, he had Peyton, and then Luck, but he's still probably a HoF receiver.

Paully D · 07-09-2015 10:52PM

Eric Fisher loses the battle for the LT spot to Donald Stephenson. Fisher will play RT. Heading rapidly towards being a massive bust.

ScummyMan · 08-09-2015 09:08AM

Montee Ball went through waivers unclaimed. Some fall from grace.

raze_them_all_ · 08-09-2015 09:15AM

someone is questioning reggie waynes work ethic?? wow. yeah a wide reciever in the league for almost 15 years adoesn work hard. ffs the ****e some people spout

adrian522 · 08-09-2015 10:48AM

Just sorted tickets for 49ers @ Bears at face value on ticketmaster.com. $117 each for front row of upper deck over the 20 yard line. Pretty impressed!

That's pretty sweet!

adrian522 · 08-09-2015 11:07AM

Yeah, I was pretty surprised to find them there, could have paid $155 for middle deck more central tickets (that are going for $300+ on stubhub) but happy enough with what I've got.

Now just to invest in one of these to keep me warm.

That story's a week old now. I'm surprised it died so quickly as the media generally love a 'dysfunctional Redskins' story. I suppose the RGIII story kept the Redskins beat writers busy and Brady the national reporters.

But nothing's come of it really since last week.
