Every time a superstar leaves town in a hail of badwill and uncleared air, there always has to be the obligatory "no one understood me" story.
Which brings us to Terry Glenn.
Glenn, who spent most of the Patriots' dream season (They won the Superbowl! I know you know that but, dammit, I can't say it enough) being suspended for various combinations of violating league substance policies, skipping practice, not contacting the team about same,faking or nursing injuries, and other stuff I can't or won't remember. Now he's in Green Bay, and all of a sudden...drumroll...he's ready to show us in New England what we missed!
"I do drift away sometimes. For some reason, I don't want to be bothered. Not that I don't want to be bothered by people, I just don't like being bothered with all the things that'll be going on. That people will say about you. It's just madness that's out there in this world. Because it was to the point last year that I couldn't even turn the channel without seeing my name on the channel. And I was like, 'Gawd, why are these people saying these things about me. They don't even know me.' They were making stuff up, somebody was giving them backdoor lying information. So it was a bad time over there in New England, a bad time."
Making stuff up? The league doesn't make stuff up when it suspends you. We all saw you sitting in your SUV in the parking lot while the rest of the team was practicing. We all saw your memorable TV interview when you admitted you were faking an injury in a contract snit. It all adds up to...well, you do the math.
So go freeze up there, Terry. The Pats won without you before.
