    Wonder if pj would mod a man for calling him Alton instead of Pig?

    No because Lord Butch calls him by his mother given name of Alton.

    So just two days earlier he was still suffering effects from a reported concussion... I believe that was per Lyle.... If said concussion was real, I question how you dismiss a player who is suffering from a head injury.

    A little inside info here...

    Pig was diagnosed Bipolar last summer. Had it under control and stopped taking his meds and went nuts. And yes he did fail more than drug test in his career.

    Wait. Can we get Butch fired for a violation of The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act? That's Office of Civil Rights serious there....

    Thanks for the info, Tmac. If true, how was he allowed to be "dismissed" from the squad?

    Numerous failed drug tests.

    It works both ways, if you have a guy that's special needs, you can give him a lot of leeway. Once you get tired of handling him, you have an extensive list of reasons to give him the boot

    A certified mental illness doesn't override that?

    Gotcha. Excellent job, Butch. I'm sure this move will pay off more in the long run than the idea of incorporating him into the offense.

    He wasn't kicked off the team due to being bipolar but people close to the situation said there are more than a few people who were relieved that he left. Apparently he had become a manic, screaming and yelling at coaches and teammates.

    Don't help him, just kick him to the curb.

    After having to play for Dooley and Jones how can you expect the guy to be sane.

    Hate hearing that about Pig. I hope he gets the support to get it back under control. I think he can play at the next level.

    He's been off the team twice now. I don't think he has the talent to overcome that kind of dent in his resume. I'd say his football playing days are over. Hate it.

    From what I understand he got all the help in the world and just couldn't pull himself together.
