Good Luck out there Spice. We loved having you, and if there’s a TV job in your future there will be no shortage of offers. And if Amobi or Henry go down, be sure to leave a contact number and forwarding address.

For the skeptics, what you see is what you get. He is the real deal and walks his talk.

Sooo… the crown is words to a song lyric. Okay. But what crown are they referring to?

I met Anthony at Penn State. My wife was his English instructor and he would take advantage of the opportunity for assistance during her office hours. He was always interested in improving his academics. When he learned we had a son who was playing sports, Anthony took the time to give him some advice and took an interest in him. Anthony has always been a classy individual. I hope he gets picked up by a championship-level team and gets a ring!

As reported this sounds great and he seems like a class act. However, lets see if his message and tone is the same after he is signed by another team.

Unless you’re a giants fan, you shouldn’t be making fun of the bears crown lyric.

Another class act on the bears. Scumbag lions pay attention.

All sounds nice but he’ll probably be telling the fans from his new team in Green Bay, Detroit or Minnesota the same thing next year.

Just once I’d like to see the 2012 Bears line up in their T-Formation.

You know. Just to remind us how they thrilled the nation with it.

Class move, though. Everyone loves AA in and outside the locker room. Apparently, this dude is just hilarious also.

For everyone asking about the “wearing the crown segment” of AA’s message, it is part of the lyrics for the team’s fight song (“Bear Down, Chicago Bears”) which is played during touchdowns and the like.

The Bears fight song for those that don’t get the crown part. Bear Down!

Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;
Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We’ll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you’re wearing the crown.
You’re the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down.

It is a business decision, and Adams is wise enough not to take it personally. His classy behavior will encourage other teams to take a second look and it sets him up for a Chicago media job when his playing days are over. Smart guy.

This is how you do it when you work in an industry with only 32 employers! Not like Fat Albert who’s still blaming the Redskins for being cut by the 3rd team in a year.

It’d be so funny if he signs with GB and torments Chicago for the next few seasons.

Now that is how you do it. However his career turns out after this he sure made a good impression of us, the fans and any organization who may be in need of a big man.

I prefer the George-Costanza-tell-off-your-boss-and-storm-out-of-the-building-with-both-guns-blazing approach, but hey, whatever works.

Ironic that Adams’ remarks after getting cut make me want to root for the Bears. If that city and that team inspires that kind of loyalty, they must be doing something right.

Honestly, a lot of dislike for the ‘what crown’ comment, but what crown? Tell me?

That’s right… no crown. No crown at all.

Very well done. 98.2% of professional athletes, take note.
