I would give my left nut to play one more football game and I’m 58. This punk sits out on his teammates while making as much money as I have made the last 10 years…or more. Punk. Forever a punk…not forever to thee.
Did Nick E. freakin' quit at halftime like Cam Ward?!
- Thread starter Rhode Island Dork
- Start date
Cam told the team and coach he was going to be a wuss. Low character, but understandable. Nick just quit.
Hey Nick E, that was a totally classless move. Thanks for nothing.
I honestly believe these players are doing this for attention. It gets them extra tv coverage and the media eats it up. If some are afraid of getting hurt and possibly falling in the draft way not opt out once you’re out of contention of a championship
Yeah. Opting out of the bowl is one thing. Opting out part of the way through is a whole different level.
In the link it says nothing about being planned ahead. Perhaps it was planned in his head…but apparently he had not shared the information with anyone else.
No, it wasn't in that story but I mentioned on page 1 of this thread that I'd heard that on the post-game show and it was probably the same source The State used in their story that you mentioned in your early post on page 1.
It seems odd that if he mentioned it to an assistant coach that they wouldn't make Beamer aware of it in advance for fear of repercussions for not doing so.
In a competitive game like this one, how could you quit? His name will be "mud" in gamecock nation for a long time.
Source?
I haven't heard anything official on a Beamer reaction/statement other than it was an "internal matter".
Why play one half? If you're going to bail at halftime why not just skip the whole game?
Agreed.
It kills the "i don't want to get injured" idea, while also looking crummy.
Yeah, but it's hard to get a free vacation, free entertainment, free swag and lots of good, free food if you don't go at all.
And even harder for someone to ask for you to give it back... unless they demand you reimburse them for the value of it.
In thinking about this whole deal in the long run the big loser is Nick.He made a terrible decision which unfortunately will paint him with the Scarlett letter Q.The one thing players relish is the camaraderie of the locker room and the life long relationships with teammates.I’d be surprised if these relationships were not irreparably damaged.Its a shame he made such a short sighted decision.As others have said everyone would have been better served for him to just sit out.
