The thing with Pioli. When they hired him he walked over to me and told me “I’m telling you right now I’m letting you go for what happened in NE.” It’s a shady business.
Keep in mind, he wasn't released immediately, he was released 5 days before the start of the season which fucks him over in finding another job as well. Talk about being a dick because he injured your golden boy. [Reply]

I remember in a pre-season game Casshole fumbled the ball, and instead of diving and trying to recover the ball, he hopped up in the air like the cartoon woman in Tom and Jerry when she hopped on the table when she saw Jerry running around on the kitchen floor.
He literally hopped like a sissy instead of acting like a football player. I think he was startled and scared by defensive linemen diving for the ball. I knew at that moment we were screwed. Pioli had to have seen Casshole act that way at practice in New England. That isn't just something that happens once.

He was the Franchise, he was way to valuable to be recovering fumbles. The dude had like a million peso arm. [Reply]

In hind sight it was..but to be fair the guy came back and was better than ever. He seemed well worth the contract. Then he got paid and got soft [Reply]

In hindsight, Dorsey was right in wanting Berry to pony up for the insurance... [Reply]
