From everything I know he’s been responsible for helping with our free agent pickups these last few years.

Awesome

Take the one we’ll get for Teddy and flip it to Eagles for Wentz. CSP can rebuild him before it’s too late

So is he really a candidate or is he a Rooney Rule interview? Not sure I believe “sources” that he’s a finalist. Could all be PR

Definitely real. I don't know they've interviewed anyone other than african americans for the gm spot.

Nope, referencing the subcategory of radical extremist that seem to believe that they are disenfranchised hence the phrase subhuman.

It's funny you have an issue with the statement but perfectly fine with the assumptions the person I was replying too as there isn't another comment directed towards him. But hey continue stereotyping random people you don't know since that's your flavor.

You just typed a lot of isms and flakey arse accusations.

The Rooney rule is a thing, and the question as to his participation in that way is a thing, then calm the frick down.

You are calling other people sub-human and are doing that for no reason.

You made absolutely zero sense here, btw. Of the parts I kind of understood as rational thought , you made yourself out to be giant hypocrite.

Guy might have been Rooney ruled vs “being sick of all the subhuman posters”

You didn’t deny that you are a black poster who has been listening to crazy arse theory about white people to lift your race up. Otherwise you wouldn’t have used the “subhuman” thing

Personally, I don’t want to lose the guy, and I didn’t even know he was black before the Rooney rule comment and your response.

You can still go frick yourself, and I have zero respect for your answer to this because of your “subhuman” response. I know what you are about, and you are an ignorant racist frick

You honestly think I give a frick about you clown you literally just said I didn't know anything about his race until the Rooney rule comment proving my point. You have a problem with what I said I'll gladly play for your uber Twitter fingers.

The fact that I didn’t know his race and wanted him to stay on is a good thing.

You racist, ignorant frick. I don’t care if you listen to me, or anybody else. You are wrong for calling other people subhuman.

The Rooney Rule, being what it is, leads to some guys getting interviewed simply to satisfy the rule. It’s a valid question to ask if that’s the case with a certain candidate.

Never pass up an opportunity to spew racist bullshite on a sports message board tho.

The #Falcons have identified #Saints VP/Assistant GM for Pro Personnel Terry Fontenot as the favorite to be their next GM, sources say. They won’t do a deal until New Orleans is out of the playoffs, but signs point to him being the choice.
