    My thoughts exactly. Maybe if he stays in the league long enough to play against the Raiders he will have something similar to say.

    and, by then, he will also be cut by the Bengals.

  • My 1st thought when I read the article was, "No Greg, coach just didn't like you". Pretty ballzy to open his mouth about an incoming coach. Hopefully this is used as bulletin board material by the players, and they go out with just that little extra oomph to protect their leader.

  • Fuck her right in the pussy.

  • I'll just leave this right here.

  • This Thursday Greg Little will finally be able to help the Browns.

  • Mike Pettine on Greg Littles comments: He said "I would be more concerned if it had come from any other player".

  • What's personal is how many times Little fucked us as a team with his drops. How many times did he start a season saying he came back from the mountain and has it together. Fuck him. I loved Pettine's response. I hope we go into headhunter mode on this jackass.

    I suppose it never occurred to him that the Browns and then Raiders cut him because he just sucks at his job.

    CINCINNATI, Ohio -- New Bengals receiver Greg Little said the Thursday night's showdown with his former team is "personal" and that "somebody's gotta pay."
    It's not as if a matchup between the Browns (5-3) and Bengals (5-2-1) needed any additional stoking but Little, who played the past three seasons in Cleveland, provided it anyway Tuesday. He even took a shot at Mike Pettine, saying the new Browns coach did not communicate with players around the Berea facility -- at least when Little was still part of the team prior to his May 16 release.
    "Everything about this game is personal for me and I'm going to treat it that way," said Little, signed by the Bengals Oct. 14 after being released by the Raiders. "And I'm going to put my team in the best position to win."
    Little was asked to elaborate on the "personal" angle.
    "How the whole release was handled," he said. "I just knew there would be a time I would play the Browns. I felt like it was inevitable and the time has come . . .
    "I was coming into a new coaching staff and they were looking at me to come in and play well. I had a great relationship with them and the front office decided to go another direction and hopefully I will make them pay."
    Little was released after news of Josh Gordon's looming drug suspension was made public. The receiving corps was in a serious state of flux, but it didn't stop management from cutting Little, who caught 155 passes for 1,821 yards and eight touchdowns in 48 games.
    Little infuriated some with his penchant for dropped passes and speeding tickets. He remains good friends with Gordon.
    He believes general manager Ray Farmer was "100 percent" behind his release. But Little saved his most interesting remarks for Pettine.
    "I did not get along with Pettine," he said. "Pettine doesn't get along with any of his players. Like you will walk past him in the hallway and he won't even speak to you. To have that type of (approach) for a coach is kind of odd. I can't go you and say I'm going to lay it on the line for a guy who won't even speak to me if we were the only two people in the hallway.
    So Pettine never spoke to Little?
    "He never spoke to anybody," he said.
    Little has caught four passes for 155 yards in three games with Bengals. He took 40 snaps, but was not targeted in Sunday's 33-23 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Ha ha ha ha what a total ignoramus!!!!! He must know he's bad if he got cut by a team with no receivers.
  • Little can suck my balls.

  • Little is gonna have to beg Dalton to throw him at least one pass. You watch! He'll be in for one play. I watch football and play fantasy and didn't even know Greg Little got picked up by the Begals. If that's the case then A.J. Green better watch out!

  • I did a google search for Greg Little and the words "choke" and "dropped passes" came up as automatic options. Nuff said.

  • If, at any time in my life, I had the talent Little does & underachieved to the degree he has, I'd keep my damn mouth shut!

  • Man, why all the Little hate? I always thought highly of Little when he was a Brown. Yeah, he dropped passes, I think everybody on the team at that time was dropping them. The guy had like 5 or 6 different QBs throwing him the ball throughout the season. You guys have to remember that he's a converted Runningback. Runningbacks don't have the best hands on the team usually and at least I expected him to struggle catching the ball. That being said Little is just wearing his heart on his sleeve and having an outburst. Nothing but love from me for Little, I just hope he doesn't beat us when it counts. Best of luck, not Thursday though, wish he wasn't a Bengal.

    The problem is we shouldn't expect our WRs to drop the ball.

    I hated how he'd drop a key 3rd down pass, then on the next series lose his shit after catching a 2 yard pass.

    He's a #4 receiver on most teams, or practice squad. Nothing against him personally.

    The Little hate is very well deserved. I was a fan of little, and willing to give him the time to develop. Unfortunately for the Browns, he never developed. After three seasons, we know exactly who Greg Little is, an athletic guy who can't consistently catch the ball.

    What makes it worse is that when he does make a catch (what he's paid to do) he prances around like he just discovered fire, it's simply embarrassing. Celebrating after a game changing play is one thing, but an over-the-top celebration dedicated to a 7 yard gain in garbage time is laughable.

    The worst of it all, however, is that he can't even own what a shit receiver he is. He has to make excuses as if it was something personal between him and the HC.

    No Greg, you're a dogshit receiver which is why the Browns cut you. It's also why the winless Raiders cut you. Go talk to the media once you establish yourself as a viable NFL player. My advice though, go sell cars.

    Because he sucks big giant donkey balls. He called out OUR head coach this week and...oh yeah...he sucked big giant hairy donkey balls when he played here. Fuck him...

  • Because Little didn't care that he couldn't catch a ball, and apparently

    practiced like a stoned pansy.

    Sure, he'll talk "tough" now that he's on the hot seat with another team, when

    he could be riding easy for $$$$$ with the Browns.

    don't miss him, he's an idiot.

  • i think that when the browns get a player with talent the fans always hope for the best. but our track record with WRs is not good.

    i liked little a lot along with massaquoi and winslow (te) and jurkevic and so on but to bitch about how someone wronged you when you are the one that wronged yourself and all the fans believing in you is so diva and beyond.

    if he worked at a fish market he would have been fired the first day.
