It's an NFL lockerroom. "Culture Cut" because the dude is cocky? Jesus, they're ALL cocky and they damn well should be. They're pretty much the most physically gifted human beings on the ****ing planet. They've spent years flat out being better than everyone they've played against.
And if your 'team leaders' are drumming the guy out for being froggy, that's a failure of existing team leadership. Then again, I'm not sure how he could've rubbed ol' Eric Berry: Super Leader the wrong way when the ****ing guy couldn't be bothered to show up. Damn shame he wasn't around to talk our rookie down a bit, eh?
If 'leadership' on this team is so sensitive that they feel compelled to complain to management about a rookie's attitude, they should probably go take a look at the trophy case again and check their own goddamn egos. None of these guys have a ring. None of them have a patent on how to conduct yourself.
If the cut him for 'culture' reasons it had better be because they caught him doing lines of coke of Alex Smith's wife's ass. Merely being cocky (when you have Marcus ****ing Peters for crying out loud) isn't grounds to cut a guy loose.
