that would be ideal, yes. But for better or worse, Fromm’s entry into the league was coupled with this texting story, and currently reporters see it as the most popular interesting thing about him; certainly more interesting than his prospects as a possible third string QB on a team with an entrenched starter. honestly, I don’t see the point in talking to him at all.

i agree with all of this to a certain extent. MLJ would have served himself better if he would have explained why he thought Fromm’s answer was unacceptable instead of just stating it as if it was self-evident. (MLJ did elaborate a bit later on in a response to Jason Whitlock on twitter, fwiw.) But again, part of the reason athletes get away with non-answers like Fromm’s ALL THE TIME is because reporters do not press these guys ever for fear of public rebuke, lost access, or whatever else and MLJ seems guilty of that today. as to the leaker and her motivations, I don’t know them for certain, but I doubt they were noble.

yes a text not a tweet, my mistake. My question to the other poster still stands, but you can answer it too if you like. and yes, I get that stupid jokes get made in private and that’s unlikely to change. No problem with that. But private comments (jokingly or not) invariably are more honest than public statements. So I think what MLJ and other reporters were trying to tease out of Fromm were the reasons why he thinks like that, jokes like that, and what exactly he’s learned since someone in that private conversation decided to dime him in and leak his “joke.” Fromm’s answer was a simple, vague, platitudinous non-answer about god and “loving each other.” Which is what we’ve all come to expect from pro athletes, but still. All that said, the correct response from MLJ would have been to press Fromm and rephrase his question to give Fromm a chance to elaborate. Instead, MLJ went and sniped him on twitter after the fact. That isn’t cool either, but I wouldn’t characterize it as “ugly.”

More or less “ugly” than Fromm’s tweet in question? Let me guess, to you that was “no big deal.” But enlighten me new guy

I’m sure someone else has already raised this question, but if not: Would you rather have Rodak back? I think we all know and share the same answer to that one.

I agree. Sure there is a minuscule opportunity for one or both to get hurt. But at the end of the day, it’s stupid. Like i said; if they do it for a good charity, fine. My money’s on Allen

The charity tie-in is good. Otherwise I’d say no thank you I’d rather not risk either of these guys throwing their arms out. But if it raises some money for a legit charity? Fine with me

that’s exactly what I said

Allen said they’re “working on it.” Personally i couldn’t care less BUT Allen did mention Mahomes’ charity when speaking about the throw off so if it raises money for a good cause whatever. Last thing we need though is the face of the NFL and/or our starting QB throwing their arms out in a BS skills comp

Hey you’re the football guy, you waste no opportunity to remind us of that. Just surprised you didn’t notice those two obvious things. Seems like you just took 2 minutes and made a bullet list of obvious points. he closes his stance on certain throws which drops his arm angle. You’re a scout, watch the tape. Tom Bradyish numbers right there on the 1 yard sneaks

Nothing about occasional breakdowns in footwork or arm angle? Otherwise I suppose it’s fair. Nothing I haven’t read on innumerable other sites but good job.

If they do, I’d bet that particular hotel will be booked up fully, locked down and sanitized top to bottom. So i wouldn’t worry about that.

Doesn’t seem like much of a malcontent to me. Vikings’ fans’ salt over this guy is insanely funny.

Cool. Proud of you thanks for sharing

I see the anti-maskers conveniently skipped this thread. Anyways this is awesome and I hope McD enforces it.

he has not opted out.

Net immigration to the US has been in decline for the last several years my goalpost moving friend. You said one thing about economic mobility that was demonstrably false and now you wanna talk about immigration as THE indicator. Not how it works.

what a cop out. Okay, world traveler, what’s your frame of reference for making a statement like that? I know I don’t have one; I haven’t traveled to enough places. So my educated answer would be “I don’t know, maybe Denmark.” All I can go on is the data. Which you ignore and listen to the TV instead. Ignorance in its purest form.

Completely anecdotal and irrelevant. Depending on the academic source you want to look at, the US will rank somewhere in the 20s in socioeconomic mobility. In other words, nowhere near #1. But keep talking out of your wrong end you’ve been on a roll recently.

Not what he was saying - those mitigation efforts are in response to the high risk of the activity itself.

this is why I can’t get down with a lot of Bills fans unfortunately. You sound like a beaten dog. It’s pathetic.

That statement seems a little polished up, but I can’t find any fault in it. Hopefully he doesn’t end up in our division.

This has veered into the absurd and for once it’s not our fault. Dan Snyder is the gift that keeps on giving. I hope he ends up running the whole league

Oh were you making a joke? Must’ve missed it. Keep going Leno

Because it’s derivative and lazy and lame
