Is Peyton Hillis faking it to "earn" a new contract..??? He won't get it this way.
Is he under the curse of MADDEN....? Perhaps, but he needs to "man-up" and do the right thing for boys and girls.
Is he making a fool of himself....???
Peyton Hillis
Congrats, cowboy. You are the single worst person in the NFL in 2011. You have embarrassed yourself at every single turn. I know you are upset that the Browns didn’t pay you off of your one season of glory. But the sheer fact that you have turned into an unprofessional, self-centered jerk that has single-handedly derailed and dashed the Browns’ dreams is flat-out despicable. And in the process, slick, you have ruined your name around the NFL. You have deemed yourself untrustworthy. You have killed your own market value.
Hillis didn’t play in a game earlier this year because of strep throat. You won’t find me questioning a player’s toughness, but that seemed odd. Then the reports started to circulate that his teammates found it unbelievable. Then his agent started chiming in that he advised Hillis not to play. Hillis has wanted a new contract from the Browns. This was the ultimate, and most pathetic, power play. Hillis has put his own money ahead of the ability for the Browns to win. He fell into Pat Shurmur’s doghouse as a result. Thus, Cleveland started losing as the Browns started chucking it around with Colt McCoy. He’s not that kind of quarterback. The Browns don’t have good receivers. The offense was built around Peyton Hillis. Peyton Hillis doesn’t give a damn. He just cares about himself.
Then Hillis “injured” his hamstring against the Raiders. And for some reason, it just seemed to take longer than usual to heal. He was supposed to practice on Wednesday. He didn’t. This is not exactly surprising news.
And then there’s this.
Peyton Hillis missed an event on Monday. And this wasn’t just any event. He failed to show up to a Boys & Girls Club event where he was supposed to hand out candy to kids. That makes me sick.
Hillis apologized on Wednesday for the “miscommunication” and said, “There was a lot of miscommunication between me and the management that I had and if I knew the full depths of it, I wouldn’t have missed it. I’ve always made community events before (but) that shouldn’t be an excuse now. Like I said, I’m sorry about everything and hopefully in the near future we can be able to make that up.”
Come on. Do you think we are stupid, Peyton? Do you think you’ve earned the benefit of the doubt? You know what you do when you aren’t sure about an event you’ve committed to for kids, right? You pick up the phone or send an email and get it right. Former Brown LeCharles Bentley was the organizer for the event and rightly bashed Hillis.
Hillis has let down the Browns and the entire city of Cleveland. I would play with 10 on offense before I gave him the money he wanted. He is the anti-Aaron Rodgers. He is everything the NFL doesn’t stand for.
Perfect karma hit Hillis hard on Friday when he re-injured his hammy. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer tweeted that Hillis "looked distraught after re-injuring his hamstring today."
Kind of like those poor kids at the Boys & Girls Club.

His teammates held an "intervention" for him. Basically telling him to get it together. Profootballtalk.com has some intertresting comments from people on the Browns about the whole situation.
