Malcolm Butler missed curfew, had weed on him, and argued with coaches over it

Malcolm Butler denies attending any concerts or missing any curfews during Super Bowl week

My guess, he smelled like a fucking skunk when he showed up late and the coaches were waiting for him when he missed bed check/curfew.

Has this been verified? The fact that he was late for curfew has sort of but the rest? It's not like teams are above making up stories to cover their butts?

Eagles assistant: 'Crazy' that Patriots benched Malcolm Butler for Eric Rowe

The Eagles had already made it an emphasis to go after Rowe in nickel - with Butler's absence and Rowe elevated to #2 it made it so much easier easier for them.

Enjoy your day, "Captain One Hit Wonder". Check with a Seahawks fans for instructions on how to handle that one year dynasty.

Heh, somebody pay attention to Rex!

His bawling during the national anthem suggests some level of culpability. We may never know what he did...

I think it represents being upset.

Nothing about culpability.

No Butler - but plenty of Bademosi/Richards instead in nickel/dime. Not only did he get demoted one spot - he dropped off the defensive roster entirely.

He did something.

Not according to BB. Not disciplinary.

Assume.....

Brady thinks he's aces.

Many don't know shit about football beyond statistics.

The DBs may not be to blame but they certainly didn't help either. None of us can know if Butler would've made a difference or not? He had been getting beat like a drum all year. The DBs didn't blow coverages they just couldn't stay with the receivers and make a play. No difference as I see it Butler, Rowe or Bademosi all were a step or two slow all season. Butler is the better tackler so that may have helped? Who knows maybe Butler would've missed a tackle?

Bottom line Butler did something to have BB sit him for the entire game. If people want to be pissed, be pissed at Butler.

His bawling during the national anthem s.

He was weeping for all the black people who were wrongly shot by law enforcement.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

BB, stop being a bitch and tell us what happen.

That crying looked fake as shit and he uncovered his eyes, made contact with the camera, then covered back up.

Looked totally bogus.

I think you'll eventually find out what happened when he's gone.

I prefer to put it on Belichick.

Super Bowl is not the time to fuck about.

I can think of a few white ones I could live without....

My take on what bill did.

If it was discipline (bill says it wasn't), "the bill way" has garnered them five titles. You saw guys like moss step in and act like boy scouts bc it's "bills way or the highway".

If someone violated his team rules and he put the on their ass, good for him. You take the bad with the gokd. If I'm a pats fan, I'll give up this one for the five he brought home.

Of course Hank - this is a sports discussion board, we read the tea leaves, assume .... and where there's smoke (Butler completely falling off the defensive roster during the Superbowl) there's usually fire.

Belichick and Brady will be complimentary in the press always have, always will. Dirty laundry stays in house - this isn't the Steelers.

Butler should've taken your advice.

Sure. Whatever you say.

I say strike one.

BB fucked up a potential Super Bowl. Not a lead pipe cinch but still.....

Rather than waste my words....

Sure. Whatever you say.

I say strike two.
