Bridges Looks for Fresh Start With Skins

[scpanther22]

hope everything works out..must have done a good job to come in and compete to start at RT

I been through in Carolina, besides the good field play. I had a lot left. The thing about Carolina is they kind of frown on off-field incidents. I was unfortunate to have two of them when I was there."

"Things happen and I can't blame nobody but myself. If I wouldn't even have been in that situation then I wouldn't have been in the situation.

"But I can't be mad at what's happened in my life. I'm a very religious man and God has a plan for everybody. You don't know what path he's going to lead you on, but whatever path he puts you on, you take off and you run. He brought me here and we're going to make the best of it."

Bridges impressed during his minicamp tryout, coaches said, and he could compete with longtime starting tackle Jon Jansen and third-year player Stephon Heyer for the first-string right tackle job. "I'm going to compete for the right tackle spot," said Bridges, listed at 6-feet-4, 326 pounds. That's just what it is. And it's all friendly competition. It's the NFL. That's what it's about. That's what keeps guys thriving.

Hope they don't have any strip clubs in Maryland. :eek:

But seriously he was a solid player and should do well.

I can't stand hypocrites.

I'm a religious man, except for that time when I pulled a gun on a woman. But I went to church the following Sunday, so it's all good.

Church is for sinners not saints. Some folks are just bigger sinners than others.

Most folks who find church have done plenty of sinning along the way. Bridges obviously hasn't even slowed down.

I'm not a Bridges guy for sure, but Beaux's comment was a little over the top, as you pointed out. "He that throw's the first stone" and all that...

Going to church doesn't make someone a hypocrite. Most church going people will readily admit that they have problems and aren't perfect. You're just repeating a played out stereotype.

What stereotype am I repeating? I just don't see what reason a religious person has for pointing a gun at someone.

I know as well as anybody that people have problems, nor do I proclaim myself as particularly religious. I just cannot stand hypocrisy in any facet of life. It just seems you find a lot of hypocrisy within religion.

By the same token, I've met many great people in churches, and I know no one is perfect. People are flawed and complex, but there should be some similarity between what a person says they are -- i.e. a man of God -- and how they act.

I don't see where Panthers55 said my comment was over the top.

I am far from perfect, but I can guarantee I've never done anything as bad as pulling a gun on someone. :leaving:

Moral of the story: People make mistakes and Bridges provides great depth. Good luck, Mr. Bridges.
