Money Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Tennessee Titans safety Bernard Pollard isn’t happy about his departure from the Baltimore Ravens.He refused to join his former team for a trip to meet President Barack Obama at the White House and made it clear there was people within the organization he didn’t want to deal with again.“At the end of the day, I know what happened, I know what took place,” Pollard said on 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore. “I’m sorry, I just don’t want to be in the room with certain people.”Pollard was released by the Ravens in March and didn’t spend much time on the market as he signed with the Titans soon after. But Pollard is keeping a reminder of his release close to further motivate him for this season.According to Albert Breer of the NFL Network, Pollard has his termination letter from the Ravens taped up in his locker in Tennessee.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/07/30/pollard-keeps-ravens-termination-letter-in-locker/ He's now on his 4th team in 8 years. You would think he would be used to switching teams by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado700 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Wonder who he might be referring to. Harbaugh, etal? Any specific players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think it's Harbs. Was he one of the "Houston Mutiny" people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Pollard said he doesn't have a problem with his (ex)teammates and he also praised Ozzie. That doesn't leave too many others besides Harbaugh. If you click on the link, you can actually enlarge the twitter picture of the termination letter. He was released for the 3rd reason down, but I can't make out what it says. Can anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 I can't read the first word of the second sentence, but I think the rest reads: "with that of other players competing for positions on the Club's roster." Basically, it might as well of said...You're not good enough to make the team next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenMad Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 He was released because he was 1 of the players that led the mutiny. While it was good for the team at the time, Harbaugh doesn't appear to have been happy how it was orchestrated and he sure as hell doesn't want this happening every season. Pollard wasn't a good enough player to take the risk that he wouldn't pull something like this again over something a lot more trivial and end up fracturing the entire team.

Money Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 I don't think Boldin was part of the dynamic duo of pollard & greed There are definite reports that Boldin was involved. Here's one: One of the major milestones in the Ravens’ Super Bowl season was the Back-From-Bye Week Mutiny: After a definitive thumping by the Texans in Houston Coach Harbaugh ordered up a team practice in full pads. The players responded with (metaphorical) torches & pitchforks, led by veterans like SS Bernard Pollard and WR Anquan Boldin who considered this an unnecessary additional humiliation. http://russellstreetreport.com/and-i-was-q-or-pollard-when-provoked/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Good work, team! ExtremeRavens. Cracking codes since 2005! I'm just glad Pollard provided us with a fun activity for the day. BTW: I'm glad the Ravens don't play the Titans this year. We don't need Rice or Pierce getting knocked silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
