True that Nag, it's the primary reason we got rid of Greezy; it got DA in the Dog House, same thing w/Bradley.

Lovie and Angelo wont take the blame for their stupidity so unfortunatley Hanie more than likely will be let go, which if happens will come back to haunt them dearly because Collins is the one who should be kicked out the door.

Collins will be gone for sure, he was just a patch because they needed a 3rd QB. Of course, there are a 100 other 3rd QBs that could have been brought in besides him.
