This is a hustle if I have ever seen one


So I was reading an article from the Washington Post about what Carlos Rogers thought of Gregg Williams system while he was in Washington. I found this excerpt pretty ridiculous.
“It all started, when you’d be in the [defensive backs] room, just making wagers. Every DB put $100 in the pot. There’d probably be 10 of us in the room, that week, somebody get an interception, they’d get that $1,000. That’s basically what it was. You make a big hit, you put some money in the pot. It wasn’t about all these guys putting money in the pot for you to intentionally hurt somebody. 

“What Gregg do, is if you be late, I think it was like $1,900 fine by the league. If you miss a meeting, I think it’s $9,600 or somewhere up in that area. What he’d do, you don’t have to pay that [to the league], you’d pay $2,000 or something, but he’d just keep it in the room, you’d just keep it in the pot, and the guys that do perform, ‘OK, $1,000 if you get an interception. You get an interception return for a touchdown, you get $1,500.’ Stuff like that.”
-Carlos Rogers
I literally died laughing when I saw this article. How could Carlos Rogers fall for the oldest trick in the book?! This man literally never in his life got an interception in or near a football stadium during his Redskin career. He HAD to know he wasn't going to win that wager. You know that Joe Gibbs was like "C'mon guys, dont make Carlos pay...hes just having a tough time right now." After Gregg Williams laughed at Gibbs and beat the s*** out of him for trying to get in his way, him and Shawn Springs proceeded to steal Carlos' money.

Like are you serious Carlos Rogers? How in THE WORLD did you fall for that?



P.S Now that I think about it, Gregg Williams hustled the whole team because aside from Sean Taylor, our defense did absolutely NOTHING to force a turnover.
