Well, Sapp had the same attitude as I. In response, Winslow seemed genuinely contrite & regretful. I am keeping an open mind.

I don’t think Winslow’s absence is justified, or justifiable. He has less excuse than Ruud, who is angling for more money. Winslow’s missing the OTA, when a new offense is being installed & learned, is sheer arrogance on his part.He well knows he has a place on the squad.
These are “voluntary” practices, but they were instituted in part to help w/ the mental part of re-acclimating to football, in lieu of 71/2 weeks of summer camp, six preseason games, & in the case of coaches like Ray Perkins, three-a-days. Players shouldn’t slough them off willy-nilly.
The NFL is in danger of becoming a league of self-indulgent prima donnas, which is whet turned many people off the NBA.

I personally dont think this is a big deal at all. The guy has a family, I personally have moved recently and it is a long and stressful process. Give the guy a break, if he had this excused by the team, then he gets a pass from me.
