Weatherspoon could be harmed by the Ochocinco effect

i love fire from players

but i hate when they think they are above the team.....talk all you want....get in the other teams head......do whatever you want to the media, but if it hinders the team or gets us a penalty or hurts us in any way i do not want him

i dont care if you rip some guys eye out at the bottom of a pile, but if you cant control your anger with the refs watching you deserve punishment and dont deserve to be in the league

Call me soft but i would actually have a problem with one of our players doing that kind of stuff. If somebody does that outside the a footballfield they would be facing a veeeery long prison term.

Spoon said in an interview that some of the coaches working with the linebackers told them they wanted the LB's to demonstrate leadership by vocally encouraging each other. Maybe spoon went overboard following this direction. Maybe some scouts were not aware of these instructions.

4. I have not seen any video of Spoon that makes me think he is a Diva. I have seen some video that indicates he is outgoing and likes to have fun. All of the other people in the video I saw seemed to enjoy Spoon. He was not what I would consider overbearing -- just a guy who looks like he knows how to have fun even in a boring situation.

5. Florio sucks.

Except for the final paragraph which is Florio's take, the remainder of the article cites two other sources' thoughts on Weatherspoon.

Actually, what you have is Florio reports that the Boston Herald reports that Pro Football Weekly reports.
Looks like one source twice removed.

In any case, if you (or anyone else) have some video of this young man making inapproriate comments I would like to see it. Otherwise, my impression of him is going to remain based on what I have seen, which is an outgoing, friendly kid whe enjoys life.

BTW, the comments from MO fans all seem to be that this kid is far from being a locker room distraction.

Again, I am no expert on the kid.
