Simpson will have no issue sitting and learning. And he’s going to grind REALLY hard at all the “extra” shite and Stafford will probably value him point of view when they’re working on shite.

Ty - “Hey Matt - have you ever thought to look the safety off on cover 2 here to open up the backside route?”


Matt - “ I’ve attempted more NFL passes than you’ve had completed yards in your entire life, shut the frick up and put more milk in my iced latte next time shite bird”

They put on a fun concert but the pit isn’t for me :lol: lotta beer throwing.

It’s a little bit like fast food southern country rock - I feel like I shouldn’t like it but I do :lol:

I’d recommend Dexter and the Moonrocks if you like treaty oak. They are closer to grunge than country but blend across a few genres (used to be a country band before the current iteration). Think they have opened for Treaty oak a few times. They did open with the red clay strays last year too. They’ve recently had a very mega viral things pop off on TikTok so probably not going to be an opening act anymore :lol: they are one of the most fun live shows I’ve been too when I saw them as a headliner

"I think there is a fine line. I want to tell you, I love TreVeyon," he said. "I love the person. He cares deeply about our team. He cares deeply about his faith. He cares deeply about his family, his wife, the people in our building. And so I want them to be able to express what they believe in their heart and in their mind, but also want to make sure that they’re educated. And we want to be inclusive.

We) certainly want to make sure that they understand that their actions represent something more than just themselves," Vrabel added. "And so I do think there’s a line. We’re always talking about those kinds of things. We’re trying to educate them, no different than myself or you guys or my kids."

The culture warriors on here live in a different universe

gain, it wasn't that he cheated. It was him shitting out a player for 'embarrassing the organization'.

This is a thing that just didn’t happen :lol:

He's admitted it was a huge mistake and he's remorseful.

You guys will really buy anything huh :lol:

How would an agent make him 6’0” tall?

---

Not really about that, more about the connections and creating a market in the UDFA scrum

Ravens were interested in signing him, if he had a few other teams in the market (and it’s possible he did anyway but he didn’t know how to leverage it), it creates an incentive for the teams to add a bonus to have him pick them. An agent would’ve been working those connections throughout the 5-7th rounds

Tyreek played all 16 as a rookie.

Ahh I misremembered. I think they cited that as a mark against him when he had a later offense, so they used it as a basis for a harder first time punishment.

Last I can think of is when Goddell fricked over Terrell Pryor and Jim Tressel and suspended them for the Ohio St trinkets "scandal". Incredibly stupid in retrospect.

---

Wild how different the league an CFB was back then such a short time ago :lol: this was also around the time they banned a few NFL players from going to a fantasy football convention because it was set up next to or in a Casino and they didn’t want to be seen as promoting gambling

When did that general rule start? Because it wasn't like that in 2012.

---

They’ve been slowly shifting their personal conduct policies for a while to be less extreme. That’s why you don’t hear about the commissioners list much anymore, they mostly stay out of it until the legal process is resolved and then they come in with punishment if any, but even the punishments have gotten lighter. It’s bad PR and their involvement only brings more attention and scrutiny in their view.

From what I can remember I think Tyreke Hill was the last guy to get punished by the league for what happened in college, and that was nearly a decade ago

quote:

---

The real question is how will the NFL handle it.

---

They’ve made their general rule on stuff that happens in college stays in college and don’t typically review things that happened prior to them being in the league as part of their conduct policy

His draft stock would tank for sure but not sure the NFL would directly punish him but would def have him on a close eye

guess moral clauses don't exist or are enforced anymore.

---

Moral clauses are used to get out of contracts the team doesn’t want to be in. They are built to give teams to freedom to take action if they want and remove the contractual guarantees, but they are no some auto fire trigger built into contracts

If Vrabel was in year 4 of a disappointing team build, the conversation might be different, but given the season he just had, you had to be truly foolish to think the pats were firing him for this
