Way to go Taj. How ******* hard is it to follow simple rules? 

 

This guy must be a real piece of …….

 

He's already thought to be an idiot, now he's going out of his way to prove it?

 

Talent…but do they really need that crap? 

Time to mahaul his ass out of town.

 

The way he plays reminds me of the way Kito Poblah plays sans confidence.

Here is an article about Taj from the NY Times.  Pretty F'd up life.  8 kids and no mention of a pop.

good article, thanks.

 

 

Try to even imagine living his life. You can't.  

 

It is true that he's had a hard life.  No doubt about that, but the only one who can turn it around is himself.  According to the article, several people have tried to help him, but he keeps making bad choices.  Getting into fights, drunk driving, trouble with the law, idolizing the wrong people.   He's made plenty of wrong choices, including using a rare NFL pay cheque to buy 70 pairs of sneakers.  I know several kids who are from low income broken homes that make better choices, and who have been able to move forward dispite disadvantages.  He has to take responsibility for his actions....he isn't a child anymore.

Taman says that although Smith is a "good kid" there is the possibility he could be released. He also says the event that precipitated the suspension happened in Ottawa.

 

Should never have went to that party at Mike Duffy's house....

 

 

yeah you have a few drinks and then find out 20 years later you have a daughter in Peru.

I think Jovon Johnson has a similar background with 3 or 4 family members being killed so far, difference is Jovon had the brains to use athletics to get out and stay out of trouble.

Yep, the NEXT TIME he does something wrong like defy a court order, he 's gone. That's actually the second rule of the Riders Code of Conduct. It reads:  "Next time. There's always next time".  The first rule is, "When you think you have a good team, ignore the Code of Conduct."

Didn't know a 30 year old is still a kid.
