Doesn't change my opinion of how big of a dumb@$$ you sound like when you go nit-picking ad infinitum and ad nauseum like a monkey on lice at every little thing surrounding someone/something you hate.
I hope some day you are lucky enough to never know a kid who would qualify for the Special Olympics so you realize how fucking ignorant that joke is.

Hernandez is a retard for what he did. The fact that he has shown zero remorse and is throwing away his talent and career for his crime is stupid.
If one can't laugh at how dumb it is, what else? Chill out.
And if you still feel a need to discuss, I'm here all year.

It's actually not out of the teams control. This is why players with character concerns in college fall in the draft. Every team chooses who is a member of their organization and they take a known risk when bringing in a player like AH. This isn't his first run-in with Johnny Law.

I wonder how much damage the hit he sustained in the 4th quarter against 'Bama caused. ![Sad](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals concluded their first day of training camp with a flurry of personnel moves, led by the announcement that rookie wide receiver Ryan Swope is retiring because of concussion issues.
The Cardinals placed the former Texas A&M star on the reserve/retired list, meaning he would be Arizona's property if he returned to the sport. Swope, drafted by Arizona in the sixth round, set school records for receptions and yards receiving for the Aggies but was plagued by concussion issues and had a serious setback in the early summer.
The team added two experienced players, agreeing to a one-year deal with offensive tackle Eric Winston and a two-year contract with outside linebacker John Abraham. The Cardinals also released outside linebacker O'Brien Schofield, a former starter, and signed linebacker Kenny Rowe.
Swope announced his decision in a statement released by the agency that represents him.
"As a result of a concussion I suffered during OTAs, I was advised by doctors that there were serious risks in returning to play football at this point," Swope said. "It has been a life-long dream to play in the NFL but my long-term health interests outweigh my current goals in football. Because of that, I am electing to retire from the game for now and then reassess my future after this season. In the meantime, I plan to return to Texas A&M to pursue my degree."
Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said the team was aware of Swope's concussion history when the decision was made to draft him.
"But weighing all the elements — the medical information available, the particular position in the draft — it was a decision we were comfortable making," Keim said. "As it turned out, he had a setback after he got here. Over the course of the subsequent evaluations, we all decided that Ryan's long-term well-being was the No. 1 priority and this was the best course to take."

At least he's putting his health first, and pursuing his degree ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Most people these days are too blinded by the money to think that way

Yeah, I was looking for something more specific.

Not just the off season...,
“We knew Ryan has a concussion history in college and understood that it could possibly be an issue,” said Cardinals general manager Steve Keim in a statement.
