What the fuck do his teammates have to do with him not getting money? He's seriously cutting them off because of something so petty?!

Being bitter toward the front office is understandable, but his own teammates? That goes way too far. I'm glad the team cut him off.

Yeah but the guy has made 9.3 mill so far he's been in the league

man, what century are you living in? this is not the 1980s.

the rams have paid him $38.5m so far.

when they give him the other $5m they have paid him $43.5m for his time there.

what the fuck is so bitter about?

then again i haven't seen the video so i don't know if he was joking around or not.

Not talking to your teammates because the team hasn't paid you? LOL. Okay.
That's definitely what jumped out at me... wow! Also like someone else said, his overall body language every time I saw him at home games made me think something wasn't right with him.

Based on their history I’d imagine the Rams are in the right on this. I can’t imagine they’d pick this time to get cheap and try to screw a player out of the money. Just have to wonder at the agents motivation, are they thinking that sending Gurley and Matthews our to complain will pressure the Rams into paying earlier or something? And yeah that’s a bad look for Gurley saying he’s ignoring his old teammates and friends over this.

That's the confusing part because I'd assume that these guys are not doing this without advice from their agents. Their agents know the contract language and terms so they must have a reason for this continuing.

Here's the audio. It sounds a lot better than it reads, right before he talks about how there was no tension and that he still has love for them and then laughs about it. It starts right at the 6 minute mark. But who knows. Still sucks that he can't let this go, or do it privately.

This put the quotes in a very different context. Hes not saying the players cant call or text him, he said he told the players that they, as in the FO, cant call or text him until he gets his money.

Context is everything.

I guess that makes it less bad, but his attitude among other things makes me glad he's gone. Time to move on.

Yeah, after actually listening to the actual audio I hear him saying as reported.... ex team mates don't talk to me till I get paid. Also, sound to me like The Rams could pay him now but have until June 1.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as far as being disruptive. His team mates seemed to like the guy. So he's bitching about money and it's clear he's bitter. Which means he probably wanted to stay a Ram and they didn't want him. Bum knee and your team doesn't want you. Gotta hurt. Not worried about #30. He was a beast for 3 of his 5 years with the Rams and he was compensated accordingly. He's gone now.......not my concern. I'm a big Darrell Henderson fan, Cam Akers fan and Malcolm Brown fan.
2.8 years of his 5.

Except that's not what he said at all. He said right before that he has "love for everyone", then said "well not everyone". Then proceeded to talk about the FO office owing him money. He then goes on to say he told his ex teammates that "they" cant call or text him. Hes still talking about the front office, not his teammates.

I just lost a lot of respect for him...Almost all these guys want to be treated like men, which is as it should be... But that's a 2-way street... ACT like a man...His teammates must be thrilled that he throws them under the bus because of perceived transgressions by the Rams head shed.......Fuck you Todd...I'm guessing that not too many of hem really care about texting him after that silly ass comment...

TG Tarnished Goods needs to just worry about staying healthy for the Falcons and not pulling that unmotivated crap. He'll get his money. Freakin' crybaby. :cry:

It pretty much sounds how it reads to me honestly. He is who he is glad we moved on.

The talking to the guys thing is the worst but trying to paint a picture that the team that made him gave give all his money rewarded him yes he earned it but the rams didn't have to give it look like they cash poor that's petty man.

Like I said Kroenke has more money than Gurley will ever see 100 times over. That stadium he so hung up on he may never get to play in it and definitely not as a ram.

I actually think LA swallowed this dude whole his head became to big and he loved the Hollywood life so he is bitter. Now he ran back home enjoy bro if i was a friend of his I'd lose his number!!!

Just listened to the whole thing, not just the one segment I pointed out earlier. I think it a joke or it's misinterpreted by the media. All of the headlines say he's still mad and "I better have my money", but at the end of the talk about his contract he says that he knows that he's going to get it and it is what it is, and "let go and let god". He also talks about reaching out to Akers after being drafted and wishing him well, talks up former teammates, and mentions joking with former teammates about if they play each other. But I guess that doesn't sell.

Great look Todd , with all the world in a financial crisis. Small businesses who haven’t received any money for months going under right and left. You burnt your bridge with the Rams and me. Your attitude stinks
