If you don't think hacking is prevalent in this day and age ON A DAILY basis....I don't know what else to tell you. Ever heard of Anonymous?
Anonymous is a bunch of teenagers woefully ill-equipped to hack a social media website like Twitter or Instagram. They are nobodies.

Sapp failed a combine drug test. All of the teams knew about it.



It wasn't just the drug failure, they made him look like some coke and mary j fiend. The plan worked out.

He failed multiple drug tests.

1. Teams could have passed on him for that reason alone.
2. What proof do you have that Tampa leaked the cocaine story?

Tying his fall to the leak instead of the actual failed drug tests is a reach, IMO.

Might not hurt to tabs a few computer science classes at a community college if you want to get some info on this subject. You may be underestimating how sophisticated those skills are, and age has nothing to do with skill in that field. People of all ages have the ability, if they have the desire and access to information.

If only they had an impressive resumé of victims to point to. They don't. They're self-important losers.

If they had "victims", they are not Anonymous.

They go after the bad players in life. White hat hackers. For the greater good.

Modern day guardian angels for some who are unable to defend themselves from abuse.
(Most of them, for sure)

because black hackers are the only ones that will do illegal work? Why not hire a white one?

I'd bet money Tunsil wasn't hacked by computer wizards.

Someone simply had access to his username and password and logged in. Anybody can do that.

Basically, it was an inside job, not the work of Zero Cool.*




*Referencing the movie "Hackers" with Angelina Jolie, the guy from Sherlock Holmes, and Shaggy. It's a guilty pleasure movie from the 90s and if you don't know it you suck.

remember getting up in the middle of previews after I saw the Hackers preview, left the boring arse $1 movie my friend & I were gonna see and watched that. Fun movie, for entertainment purposes only

Not that I get my info from TV, but if multi media is your main source to get a bit better depiction of modern day hacking, check out "Mr. Robot" on-demand on USA.

Hell of a show, def one of the best ones out that I'll watch, b/c aside from sports most tv is garbage these days. There are plenty of books available if you're interested in the subject.
I don't have the patience for coding, unfortunately

He wound up being a to a projected first round pick to an UDFA who got nearly late first round money and got to pick the team that he wanted to play for all along.

Once the story got bad, everything wound up playing exactly the way he wanted it to be played. Because his agents made sure it played that way.

When you agent makes it clear that you may hold out and besides that, you might do a perp walk for murder, it's not hard to see why teams wanted nothing to do with La'el at the time.

Thanks Greg Hardy, Ray McDonald, Rae Carruth, Ray Lewis, and Ray Rice (and so forth).

On another note, maybe you just stay away from players with the first name Ray (or any other spelling).

Would be a despicable, yet effective way to get a top 5 player they had their heart set on to tumble down the draft boards into a teams range later in the round.
maybe teams at the top are overthinking things... i can see off the field issues messing over midround prospects, but when you look at round 1, the top half is all damn good football players
