D Will says Panthers didn't reach out to him when his mother died

DeAngelo now saying he was referring to leadership and owner and not Rivera or teammates.

When my Mom dies, I won't give 2 shlts if the organization I work for reaches out to me.  I think losing my Mother will be much more on my mind than concentrating on who is sending me condolences.

 

Sounds kind of self-centered to me.

Most of your posts have been directed at Jerry Richardson being a jerk rather than defending D-Will's honor. Way to put yourself on that cross though

Do you just ignore the innumerable examples of when he has done something special for a player or fan? Or is this the great sin that negates all other actions?

 

First of all my posts are directed at Jerry Richardson because DeAngelo flat out says "the owner of the Panthers never reached out." I find it unacceptable that he wouldn't reach out to a player after their mother died.

 

I have also in the past acknowledged the great things Jerry Richardson has done. I see it the opposite as you and many others on this board see it. I believe Jerry Richardson gets overly praised on the good things he does, but the bad things get swept underneath the rug. I don't think it is that ridiculous to believe that a man of his power and wealth should be doing the nice things he does.

His response to someone's question of "why didn't you say this earlier" was "why does it matter to you?" Yeah, try to get people to show you sympathy and then be an ass in your response.  Say what you want, dude is the ultimate diva. So happy he is gone.

And DeAngelo is right. What is it to him?

What if someone asked you why you didn't bring up the death of your mother earlier and how the people you thought would support you didn't?

deangelo is showing his ass right now. i wonder if he'll get someone to take a picture of him being cute or pretending to be asleep so he can post another faux-spontaneous snapshot of the daily life of deangelo williams.

 

it's well known that his social media presence is a manufactured personality, and now we're seeing his true colors when it's actually him behind the controls. one day he'll regret this.

 

You don't think players "manage" their image? What he is doing is nothing new in business.

Was this a tweet (I missed it)... Sad.

May or may not be meaning too....but Darin Gantt is right. He is cut and is basically immediately changing the direction of reality.....he is old, slow, expensive and really not that good which equaled being CUT but lets "focus" now as I run to the media about how people were mean

Just as NJPanther was mentioning.

Big Cat explained his priorities pretty clearly in a press conference if y'all don't remember. He even drew a pie chart.

Funny how being a fan can distort moral values. End of the day everyone is moving on.

[Jeremy Igo]

I feel bad for him. Obviously he feels wronged.

Seems like better communication during the season would have helped

[carpanfan96]

Well, he said Gettleman did reach out to him and Rivera spoke to him as well.

Sounds more pausible.

Shocked that big cat didn't though. Very out of character.

That's what Voth's article was saying. One that JR didn't reach out to him and second that no one contacted from the team for a few days if I understood it correctly.

I wonder what what he did to make them not want to bend over backwards like they do for others.
