According to The Athletic, LB Antonio Morrison was cited at Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee allegedly for being aggressive and hostile towards a crew member. Supposedly, this occurred just prior to him being released by the Packers but it is not yet known if the two are directly related.
“F**k you – You don’t own this plane. I can do whatever I want,” Morrison was quoted as saying by Pro Football Talk.
From the police report:
Morrison stated he did not feel he needed to explain why his bag was under an empty seat and thought the explanation [about] whose bag was good enough. During this time Morrison was cursing casually with me and could not complete a sentence without the word f**k.

OL T.J. Lang has announced his retirement after 10 years in the NFL – 7 of which were with the Packers who drafted him in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft.

Lang wrote this as a farewell:
For the past 3,624 days I have woken up with one goal in mind — How can I be a better pro football player than I was yesterday? Well, those days are now over. The only thing I ask myself today is how can I be a better husband, father, son, brother, friend. I will forever cherish the great times that I had playing this game. Thank you, Green Bay Packers for taking a chance on a 21-year-old kid and giving me the opportunity and patience to grow into a man and reach my full potential as a football player. Thank you, Detroit Lions for granting me a chance to finish my career in the place that I call home. It would’ve been impossible to play this game for 10 years without great teammates, coaches, trainers, strength staff, doctors, agents, fans, family and friends. I thank each and every one of you for the unwavering support over the years. Whatever the next chapter holds, I hope to stay around the game in some capacity. It’s been an amazing ride. Thank you all for being a part of it.
Lang was with the Packers from 2009 to 2016 until signing a three-year deal with the Detroit Lions for the 2017 season. He was released by the Lions last month.

Aaron Jones opened up to Kristine Leahy of Fair Game about why he did not get much playtime last season
.@KristineLeahy: A lot of people including @AaronRodgers12 thought that you needed to play more… Why do you think it took so long for you to get an opportunity? @Showtyme_33 opens up about what held him back from playing to his full potential: pic.twitter.com/uPX1LIkZtp

According to Jones:
We had two other backs in front of me who are very capable of playing well at the time. I was coming off a suspension. So, they were just trying to get me working back in the mix of things.
Jones is that Packers secret weapon that too few people are excited about. Can not wait to see what LaFleur’s offense has in store for Jones next season.

Antonio “hoodrat” Morrison……Tony, can’t for the life of him, figure out why an airline employee would be concerned about a bag under an empty seat? That Florida education paid off in spades.
“F–k you,” Morrison allegedly said. “You don’t own this plane. I can do whatever I want.” (except play in the NFL)
“During this time Morrison was cursing casually with me and could not complete a sentence without the word f–k.” – Cop
In July 2013, Morrison was charged with interfering with a police animal after barking at a police dog.
Mature beyond his years
Player acquisition? You gotta start doing better than this Gute and damn quick….Holy shit.
Pro Football Focus gave Morrison an overall grade of 35.8 and it ranked 83rd among all linebackers in 2017. FYI…..A grade of 35.8 simply means you have no business being in the NFL, before you made an ass of yourself.
********************************
TJ Lang…….Wouldn’t it be refreshing if the Packers could exhibit half the class some of their former players do?
Much respect…T J Lang was a green and gold warrior.
Morrison liked to hit, but he was an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty looking for a place to happen.
Glad he gone.
Damn straight, that was his one positive. Look at that pic….T Willy coming on late to the rescue, grabbing his assisted tackle…lol.
All i know is he better not serve me cold fries. Janis tried that with me about a month ago, it was a whole big thing.
What a f’ing moron. Him and Vontaze Burfict would get along well. One can only imagine what this guy would/will do without the NFL. Using my imagination, likely what I see on a daily basis in the crime section of the Chicago Tribune.
Hopefully he didn’t piss away all his money and he still has a nest egg to put some money in his future “Canteen account”
He is too fucking stupid for that
The Aaron Jones situation was dumbfounding. Whenever he played, his ypc were head and shoulders above the other two guys. Yet, McCarthy stuck with Williams despite the obvious performance difference.
Another poster boy for low impulse control. Well Mr. Morrison, there is the AAF,…oops,…no,..apparently there is not. How about the private sector? Jussie Smollet might need to hire a bodyguard. You can protect him from things that never happen and cuss out all the people who rightfully call him a liar.
He can always tryout for the Green Bay Blizzard or the CFL, eh.
