sabatoge ??.....i doubt it
bad coaching ??......absolutely !!
All-Pro center Barrett Robbins pleaded with his coach not to change his game plan with less than 36 hours til game time.
Robbins was so upset, even distraught over it, that it directly led to Robbins going AWOL and missing the game.
this could still go either way.....
but if your part of the "he wasn't in on it" crowd.....it's very possible that on dec 6th when his dead girlfriend called him....he realized he was being played....but, continued to go along publicly, in hopes of figuring out who was behind this hoax.....
thats what i keep saying......
look, this team has about 7 "needs" (QB, OLB, OLB, CB, WR, TE, OT)
but "franchise qb" is easily the #1 need....and we need two of em either thru the draft or free agency.
Cornwell comes out swinging against De Smith......
On Friday, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith took a subtle jab at the NFL Coaches Association and executive director David Cornwell for remaining silent in the wake of a failure by NFL teams to hire a single minority coach or G.M.
Cornwell opted not to be subtle:
“DeMaurice Smith is the best thing that has happened to NFL owners since they became NFL owners,” Cornwell said in a statement provided to PFT.
“De controlled both the NFLPA and the NFL Coaches Association from 2009 to 2012. During this period, De threw 3 generations of NFL players under the bus in exchange for a photo op with Roger Goodell and Robert Kraft; threw the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys under the bus to conceal from NFL players the truth about the declining salary cap; and, De threw NFL coaches under the bus when he: (1) sat silently as NFL teams unilaterally changed coaches’ retirement benefits; (2) filed an unauthorized legal brief under the NFLCA’s name during the NFL lockout; (3) kicked the NFLCA out of the NFLPA’s offices for challenging the filing of the brief, and he rolled the bus over NFL coaches when he snatched $308,000 in coaches’ dues money and sued the NFLCA because NFL coaches understandably want competent representation.

OUCH !!
Why are people finding it so hard to believe Manti Te'o never met the girl in question. He spent three and a half hours on the field with Alabama's McCarron, Lacy & Yeldon and never "met" any of them.
his place in the draft all hinges on his 40 time.....if he times fast, which i doubt, he will be picked around 10-15. if he times average, which i expect, he will be picked 16-32. if he times medium-slow, which is possible, he falls out of first round.
absolutely offensive...
#1- the word "redskin" is a racial descriptor using skin color.
#2- native american indians say it is offensive.
#3- this is completely different than using chief(s), indian(s), cowboys, brave(s), warriors,
#1- not while attending HOME games....
#2- not while watching the commercial free Red Zone Sundays 1 - 7:30 PM.....non-stop action.
#3- while not doing #1 or #2.....then i channel hop between NFLN, ESPN, CBS, FOX, NBC & Showtime...probably like NFLN best (other than Irvin)....can't get enough football talk....
