    Courtesy of the NY times:

    From Enemkpali's NFL. com draft profile: “Strengths: Very thickly built. Flashes shock and violence in his punch. Highly competitive, plays hard and motor runs hot. Keeps battling to the quarterback.”

    If the Jets didn't immediately release Enemkpali the Circus would have been running 3 rings strong for the rest of camp.

    At a minimum, 1 year...plus whatever time Smith is out.

    The rationale, for lifetime, is that at the end of the day the NFL is a business. And a very limited one, and he just trashed a major piece of his owners investment....

    Let him go play in Canada....

    Bowles apparently said that Fitzpatrick is "our starter now." That's huge. Geno isn't automatically going to get the job back when he returns from the injury.

    An argument over $600 cost a starting QB his job and got the other guy cut. How crazy is that?

    Do you even understand what you're saying, or you blind hatred just clouds the mind completely?! IK has no respect for Geno, but he invited him to his HS? in what world would you invite person you disrespect to show off?

    Why is Fitzpatrick handed the job? Shouldn't he have to earn it through a QB competition? Bring in another QB, like Vick and let Fitzpatrick, Vick and Petty compete for the job. Isn't that what all the Geno haters wanted in the first place? A competition?

    For all we know the dialogue went like this:

    IK: square up
    Geno: Yo mama
    IK unleashed fist of fury

    And bowles is right to not lock in to geno when he comes back. Why commit to anything more than you have to?

    Not crazy at all. IK as an asshole, but Geno is not blameless.
    This should be a good lesson for the rest of the team to not fuck with Bowles.

    I heard that Geno tried punching him first, but he missed by 10 yards

    Who, pray tell is going to come in and compete? Anyone they bring in at this point is well behind the curve in learning the offense.

    So I was just watching NFL Network (masochist that I am) and I hear McGinest and others say that Smith deserved to get punched if he baited IK and waived a finger in his face. So that got me to thinking. Tom Brady cheats his way to a SB (or 4), lies about it, destroys evidence, and refuses to cooperate. He whines on the field constantly, runs up the score, screams at teammates, and never credits the other team (or shakes hands) when the Pats lose. But Brady is getting a raw deal with a 4 game suspension. Smith deserves to miss 2-8 games and have his career jeopardized because he got in an argument in the locker room and his face was hit by someone else's fist. That is why I hate the NFL media.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    Please show me where I read what I wanted to read. Please show me where I was wrong about anything I stated about that article. Should I go find you quotes of Bowles saying that it was Geno's job to lose? Should I go pull all the practice reports that said Geno was playing better than Fitz? Do I really have to do the simple math for you that 5 games is not "most of the season"? Judging by the statement I highlighted, I just might, so...

    NFL regular season is 16 games. For him to miss "most of the season" he would have to miss at least more than half of the season. 16 divided by 2 is 8. 8 is greater than 5. He isn't even going to miss half of the season, let alone "most" of it.

    Only retarded ass Jets fans would try to put the blame on Geno for this. I would be saying the same thing if it were any other QB. Don't let my SN fool you, I've been very critical of Geno, even when he was at WVU.

    I believe you were the one who posted earlier that he should have been making plans to pay IK back instead of mourning the loss of a close friend or getting ready for TC & the season. I'm taking it you've never had a close friend pass at a time they shouldn't have. Let me tell you, it is very hard.

    I had a friend pass away recently from an accident on the job and I can tell you for sure that if I owed someone $600 it would have been the last thing on my mind. Especially if I made the kind of money those players do. I'm sure even IK made enough money to make $600 look like pocket change.

    If IK was any kind of a decent human being, he wouldn't even of wanted Geno to pay him back. Geno was doing him a favor by going to his camp in the first place. If I was in IK's position, I would have had a lot of sympathy for Geno losing a close friend and told him not to even worry about it.
