PHILLY, on the other hand, is chickenshit and incompetent.  They traded away their first round pick next year AND a sixth for the #9.  I told them it was a horrible trade and then they went and accepted it anyways.  Then they traded up to #8 after realizing 9 wasn't high enough.  They announced as a general manager someone who wasn't even on the fucking team, then reached in the draft to get him.  They put together one of the three weakest rosters in the league and had the nerve to tell @MattJames they were trying to win this season.  I was doing them a fucking kindness by being willing to play there."

Another drink of water.  He signals to someone away from the platform and holds up the now empty glass.  "So yeah, teams.  The Wraiths...they know how I feel.  Once the contract is announced, which should be soon, it'll be clear how I feel.  As for other people I wanted to play with, most of 'em got away.  Kristoffer O'Sullivan (@Kristy95), Tyler Oles (@`To12143`), Ottokar Von Gerhart (@fish) and Marcus Kane (@Dangles13).  All would have been part of a great young defense.  They are great players, and people I can respect.  I don't know if that's mutual, but oh well.  On offense, I really wanted to see Kyle Cobb (@Kcobb9).  I feel I am the only linebacker in this league who can cover a receiving back, and I wanted to see Cobb embarrass the rest of them.  As for what I am most excited about, playing against Philly."

I don't blame Philly for not telling me pre-draft, as I think their handling has shown they are just too fucking stupid to think about the fact that it would have been the right thing to do. 

I have a few things to say about these statements. First I would have loved to play with you, feel like we would have both been able to help out most of the defenses in the league and while some others may have problems with some of the things you have said I respect you and like the player you are.

Now onto the trash talking bout Philly. First it seems like Philly had a plan going into the draft, and they executed that plan. While they may not have done the aggressive build Vegas did, they have plenty of talent and potential, and so far the locker room has been great. The Matt James incident is something that I'm not gonna talk about, as I'm not the foremost authority on the situation and only know what I've heard from both sides and nothing more.

As for them not drafting you it may just be a product of their plans. We already knew they were getting North, but Micah Hendrix and myself going before you to Philly were unknown. Both picks are obvious position needs for a team that needs to be built fast. They also were apparently in talks with Perry Tucker for him to come to Philly and change positions to LB. So it may not have been a character thing or a need thing, just how the draft board fell. From what they've told me they were ecstatic to get myself and Micah. The team didn't have any CBs going into the draft, so it just seems like circumstance and need caused the draft to go the way it did for Philly.

I don't agree with the statement that Philly put one of the weakest teams on the field, a lot of people agree that Philly had the best draft, and have the talent to make a run this year. I also like that myself, O'Sullivan, and Gerhart are all on the Liberty, and you seem to not like Philly.
