Wharton didn't have to pay Kugbila for his old jersey. No. 70 was waiting in his locker this am.

 

class act.

Very respectful of him. Vets will love that.

I don't get the hate for Kugbila. Hamstrings are not magically fixed by sheer will.

 

Never got that about this fan base. The moment an o-linemen gets hurt he becomes a "fat lazy piece of poo" to a lot of people. There's a whole narrative of Otah being lazy, but that is a completely made up thing that exists in the minds of forum posters. Rivera has never done anything but praise what a hard worked Otah was, how he tried his damndest, took to coaching, was a team player, but could never get over the hump. Even the Jets talked about what a hard worker he was during the week he was there.

 

But he's a lineman, and has injury problems, so to most people he just has to be lazy.

Deacon Jones just called to say he still hates just because

I'm glad to see Kug give Wharton his old #70. It's a classy move.

Anyone remember when Cam wanted #2 and Pickles wouldn't give it to him......and then 2 seasons later Pickles changed his number to #7? 

What a tool...

I'm not going to say a word......

But,  but....when you say, "I am not saying a word"  you are saying "a word" both figuratively and literally. 

 

This burns me up.

 

Nah, not really. 

 

However, Kugbila wore 70 in college, but he comes from a place where tremendous respect is bestowed upon the elders.....

 

He did the right thing, until the trainer told him that he was increasing his minutes on the exercise bike from 70 to 79 minutes to honor his gesture.

 

I am on fire.
