Whether or not there is bad blood between you and the current Buccaneer regime, badmouthing an ex-employer in public is career suicide (for how ever long you keep playing or your post-NFL life). All this does is leave a bad taste in everyone’s mouth and contributes to the enduring impression that you are difficult to deal with.

Resist the urge and just let it go. The Internet never forgets, how much you want to bet that this is going to spring back up again and again, “Soldier”?

Next time, just do something that will allow you to vent and then move on; like take a nice, long hot shower with that lime-green loofah sponge on your locker, tough guy.

Completely ignorant statement, and 100% bullspit. You have obviously been hitting the bong too hard and have never played team sports. I have witnessed first hand having one player tear an entire team down, at that was just at the college level.

As a coach, you absolutely have to treat your players differently depending on their personalities. However, if the player is an average player (at best), then sorry but they don’t get special treatment. That’s the way it works. If you didn’t see K2 slowing down last year than you are blind. Therefore, you don’t need to put up with his bullspit. And the rest of the league saw it too, or we would have gotten a helluva lot more than a 7th round pick for him. It’s going to be funny to watch him flop in Seattle, if he even makes the team.

You bring forth some very valid points in your post especially about how a coach needs to know how to get the most out of their players. I personally thing that sometimes coaches that come from college to the pro ranks have lots of difficulty with the veterans because once the pro ranks some of these players can indeed become prima donas; I believe Winslow was one of those types.

Winslow really had nothing to gain by slamming Schiano and the Bucs so unless he was a child why do it? Simply put there can be/are players like Randy Moss and Kellen Winslow who simply aren’t dedicated to the teams goals and they can create disharmony on a team. Kellens rants proved that he belongs in that “special group”
