That's not exactly a "team spirit" rah rah quote.

He's still pissed off that Lynch is taking most of his snaps. And "yes," Brooks, it will happen again, like every Sunday.

Dang. Brooks quote sounds more like a not so veiled passive aggressive threat.

Oh come on guys what did you expect him to say? I thought he handled the situation well in refusing to comment at the time and saying anything else other that the above would also be misquoted and used as evidence that he was defeatist/bitter/offended etc etc.

This has been tough for him and he has handled it like a man. Kudos to him and I hope he can restructure and stay.

This! And once again...find any player, great or mediocre, who handled being replaced, even for a play, better than Brooks.

LOL! Alex didn't take his shoes off, but he didn't go around making happy talk either. He looked p*ssed! Which is exactly how I would want a veteran to act. I did not care for the way Montana handled the situation with Young, even though I totally supported Montana at the time.

I think we can agree that RGIII is giving new meaning to the self centered athlete!

But...I am preparing my next post. My next post is coming and I am concentrating my efforts in that direction. My next post...

What gives with your continuous gratuitous digs at our former quarterback?

Please, stop.

HOW GOOD IS AHMAD BROOKS??

that's the question, and my answer is that..

Brooks should have never done what he did, now that selfish act of his will forever be linked to his personality.. but as far as asking how good he is, I still think that he's a the best pass rusher we have game in and game out..

Aldon may be the better player, but I just believe that Brooks is the better pass rusher..
