SouthernJet Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Plus, I seriously doubt Brady and Wes would be late because they did not check the weather. exacto mundo,,,its called 'smarts' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I probably would have let him get all the way to practice before making an example out of him too. Again, everyone else on the team apparantly looked at the weather report and got up early. exactly,,get up early,,these turds think they can get up at same time and make a call and all is well,, since all 50 of the other people got up early then it looks like there are 4 clowns who dont have common sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'm with you on this ALK, I'm in the military and I know if I'm late (doesn't matter if there's a cat 5 hurricane) I could only wish I would be sent home early as a punishment... F these pre-Madonnas, get to work on time, no excuses, end of story. ....and I make **** money. potw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BB sent him home because of his play on field, the snow was just a good excuse to send him home Moss has been coasting as well lately....

Scott Dierking Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Being late for a meeting, regardless your job, regardless your status shows a general lack of disinterest in what you are doing, and shows that you are comfortable in how you are doing it. When I hold a meeting, the door closes two minutes after the meeting was scheduled to start. If you have something more important to do, or you can't plan your time in order to show up on time, fine. We get that our meeting is not a priority for you. Get notes from someone else, and we appreciate your lack of wanting to involve yourself with the group.

PFSIKH Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Pretty amusing watching Patsie fans cheer on Belly here. The guy called prior, let his boss know that he was going to be late because of the weather. It happens. I hope the wheels come off, so Im enjoying Belly acting like a moron. When did he call? 7:59? Granted, we do not know all of the details of the situation, but it is pretty damming when 95% of the team can make it on time. It shows a lack of respect to the coaches, his fellow players and tyhe team. It also shows a a general lack of professionalism. Notice, Belichcik kept it between Coach and player. AD was whining to the press. Like you've never been late for work before in your life. Sending someone home who is still getting paid is not a punishment. It is silly beyond belief. They should sit him too. This way he gets his millions to do nothing. That was the only thing I did not agree with. Yeah, but he didn't bench Brady though. Brady was not late. I'm with you on this ALK, I'm in the military and I know if I'm late (doesn't matter if there's a cat 5 hurricane) I could only wish I would be sent home early as a punishment... F these pre-Madonnas, get to work on time, no excuses, end of story. ....and I make **** money. Word. I think civilians cannot grasp the conecpt of and need for accountability. My rule was you need to be standing in formation 10 minutes prior to it. Otherwise, you owe me. And you owe me big time. That was my one petpeeve. I hate lateness. It shows a lack of discipline and respect. you lived in NE and you know that conditions are different sometimes as little as 3 miles away, Sometimes your roads are not plowed first, sh1t happens, thomas did call ahead and said he would be a little late it ended up being 9 minutes. I think BB sent him home because of his play on field, the snow was just a good excuse to send him home Moss has been coasting as well lately.... When did he call? If you have an 8 o'clock meeting, and remember this is a team, not a corporate meeting were things might be looser, you are there 5 minutes early. You are not walking in with mittens and hat on. Plan ahead. Especially in New England where weather is much worse, you need to be a big boy and plan ahead to be there early enough just in case.

Gainzo Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Derrick Burgess gives his answer. FOXBOROUGH, Mass., -- Veteran defensive end Derrick Burgess addressed being sent home by coach Bill Belichick for being late to Wednesday's 8 a.m. meeting. Asked if he was shocked by the decision, Burgess said: "Shocked is one of the words you can use, but I'm more disappointed in myself." Asked what time he arrived, Burgess said it didn't matter. "Late is late," he said. Burgess said he had not been sent home since high school. Second-year linebacker Gary Guyton answered questions from reporters Friday, but would not address being sent home Wednesday for being late to the 8 a.m. meeting. He said he would only talk about the Panthers. http://espn.go.com/blog/bostonnew-england-patriots/post/_/id/4672239/burgess-addresses-being-sent-home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sve Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 obviously the majority of you have never lived in an area that gets alot of snow. any employer in a snowy area knows that you cannot force people to make it to work on time. an employee just doesn't know what they are going to come across. just this week we have had people stranded on streets for up to 24 hours in central new york. this is with only 8 inches of snow. we are expected to get 4 feet. yeah, you could make it, if you want to kill someone.
