This dbag just won't go away. This guy turned himself into a good LB by improving his game year after year. Then he lands a fat contract. Then he turns into a daredevil fucking weirdo overnight. Then he gets hurt. Then he claims that he might have a brain injury. Then he turns into a blogger ripping the organization apart. Then he comes back to play and he's useless. Then he gets released and nobody wants to fucking touch him. Sense something wrong here? I do! Don't blame the Lions for your misfortunes, DeAndre! Injuries happen but the rest is on you, brother. NOBODY else! He sounds like a man with sour grapes. Get the fuck over yourself! Who in the hell is going to bring this putz in when he tells the world he might have a brain injury? What a tool lol

This right here. CTE is being taken very seriously now because of potential and current lawsuits. If you want your career to end abruptly, just say you think you have brain damage. Sure fire way to early retirement.
 
I agree with all you guys assessments of Levy's actions and words since he signed that contract. Crazy ass sky diving on a plane, telling the world he has CTE, etc.

I also think that he has something there with the Lions doctor's telling him he could play, when he still needed time to heal. This is something on going that has come to light in media the last several years with all the injuries, concussions, and team doctors prescribing pain killers, telling players they can play, when hurt, which is in the team's interest and not the players'.
 
If you can't play, you aren't much use to a team. Lions needed LBs at the time. Levy wanted to come back to play. It wasn't just the Lions. He wanted to be healthy and get back out there. His knee is messed up. His hip was messed up. He is somebody elses problem now.


The team didn't screw him over. He wanted to play and is getting paid millions to play. Terrible luck with injury and timing of the huge contract. Now the Lions move on

I agree, but at the same time it bothers me that Levy is pointing fingers now. Guy made bank the last 2 years for doing basically nothing. He ranks right up there on my least favorite Lions of all time, and tops the list of players I wish the Lions had not extended

I do agree that these "team" doctors push these guys to play. I have no doubt in my mind actually, but Levy is a grown man. He can make up his own mind if he's good to go. He knows his body like no other. HE made the choice to go out there. This isn't the 50's or the 60's where they practically force guys to go out there and play with an eyeball hanging out of your socket. This is why they have unions now in this game. For situations just like this. If Levy felt pressured or was even forced to go out there, then he should have spoke up THEN. Not now when nobody wants you. Don't blame the organization because you're a fucking band aid, DeAndre. Don't blame the Lions because you opened your stupid yap and told the WORLD that you probably have CTE. Take accountability for your own actions. This is the problem nowadays. Especially with these athletes. They have been coddled since they were like 12 yrs old. Man the fuck up and admit you fucked up. He won't though. He'll keep pointing his fingers until nobody listens to him anymore. Then he'll write a book and everybody will feel sorry for him. Such a joke...lol.

100%. This is why I don't understand the article saying that the Lions did Levy wrong. How can someone come to that conclusion? It's mind blowing.

And he should be. Who wants to bring in a guy who thinks he has a brain injury? I don't fucking care how good you are! I'm not touching a guy like that.
Levy can go fuck off now and live in his little world on the side of a fucking volcano for all I care. He's a joke...

Recovery 4 to 6 weeks. Doctor had every right to ask him to play in decmeber. The guy wanted to come back..also cant prove him playing caused the second surgery. He may have needed the second surgery regardless

Finally he made 18.25 million for playin in 6 games. Too me he got enough. Maybe martha gives him a few more bucks

Shouldnt have to hold cap hostage because a guy is hurt..cut him right move even he was hurt. Had to keep tulloch and pettigrew forever last year and it screwed the cap some
 
As a man, after making as much money as he did for so little work, I'd be so fucking embarrassed crawling back looking for even more money. Fuck this guy.
