Comments on: Brian Banks lines up tryouts with Seahawks, three others http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/30/brian-banks-lines-up-tryouts/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 00:58:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: dikshuttle http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/30/brian-banks-lines-up-tryouts/#comment-1819378 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:08:43 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=782676#comment-1819378 After all that, would you really want to play football?

It seems like you’ve got a pretty good settlement coming from the state.

Then again, I guess it was the only thing he knew…

She should at least serve as much time as he did…not to mention the true rape victims out there were undermined by this piece of trash.

And how the hell is this a great story? He lost a chance to go to USC, is given an uphill battle just to make any roster. This is horrible, at least he is out now.

Good luck to him and hopefully he receives something in this life in return for what happened to him.

As a human being and a sports fan your heart has to go out for him. Good Luck Brian, HTTRedskins!

You become a FA if 4 years have passed since you were last in high school. But before 4 years , you would have to have entered and gone undrafted in order to be a FA

In other words she got caught in her lie. Also she isn’t an alleged victim. You can call her what she really is, a liar and a &^&%^%&!

Please just try and get your story right when you publish something.

Sign him for depth, give him a year of strength training and working with Norton (LB coach of Seahawks) and this man could be something special, a real warrior out there. He’s already proven the heart, now all he needs is the training and a little time to catch up. I get the feeling he’d be the last one giving up on the field.

WRONG. The difference is the Bengals consistently take on proven criminals, that’s why they get the bad rap.

Your an idiot u kno that? Their not getting
Heat because he was framed becuse a stupid high school girl wanted to get money. The bengals have a rep of signing legit guilty people which is why you are ripped on constntly when u sign players like pacman. they wouldn’t be getting anything bad if they had this guy trying out

His humbleness throughout his horrific circumstances is a model to us all.

I wish the best for you Mr. Banks. Hopefully you can get on a squad and get a well deserved check for your efforts and your tribulations. Kudos to all teams giving this kid a shot. I will be folowing this kid hopefully to some well deserved stardom.

She should serve the same sentence as he did.

If this guy is half as determined on the field as he is in life he will make an impression somewhere, even better if he sticks as a Hawk.

If he didn’t enter the draft, he can’t sign with anyone. Otherwise, players could simply not enter the draft and just sign as a FA with whoever they choose.

I’d imagine that would still be necessary no matter how athletic he may be. Will be an interesting story to watch, hopefully it works out for him.

“How can she live with herself?” is the real question in this instance.

You know one thing, nobody is going to outwork this guy. I hope the ‘Hawks let him come to training camp.

If he does make it, my money is on Seattle. Carroll will use it to motivate his team…

How can someone go through what he’s been through without bitterness?
