The decision to sign Teddy in the first place was the initial disastrous decision that kicked off the entire avalanche of bad decisions to follow.

Cool. So we'll agree to disagree.

Sorry man. I'm not willing to give people a pass on artistic license when their work often times portrays a very different viewpoint than what they profess to stand for. We'll have to agree to disagree on that one if you feel differently.

I feel the same way about him s I did Tua pre-injury. Dude is legit. I don't see him as a transcendent NFL talent but the dude has the goods.

Good. We're pretty much on the same page in terms of firearms safety on set.

In terms of under the radar college prospects he certainly fits the bill IMO.

I'd honestly be interested in hearing your take. I'm not interested in calling you dumb even though I'm very confident I know a lot more than you do about firearm safety. It's very possible the movie industry has a profoundly dumb take on firearm safety.

I know nothing about Hollywood standards but based on Clooney's comments I'm not so sure that isn't the standard. And you kinda hit on a sore spot for me. A LOT of Hollywood is anti-gun while literally getting wealthy of of movies that glorify gun violence. I mean, that's about as hypocritical as it gets. Just practice what you preach. If you're anti-gun, whatever. But don't cash those checks for those movies glorifying gun violence.

Have someone hand you a gun and that gun ends up somehow firing and killing someone. Trust and believe you're going to get charged. Ignorance isn't an excuse.

Teaching someone to check the chamber is minimal. Him flexing that if you check every firearm every time good for you? Yikes.

We're talking about firearms here. Ignorance IS negligence.

ND promoted their DC to HC yesterday. That ship has sailed.

A lot of players who have played well in the past aren't playing well. Hmmm... sure seems like more of a coaching problem than widespread individual player problem to me.

George Clooney's comments lead me to believe this level of firearms idiocy is not commonplace on film sets. "Every single time I'm handed a gun on the set, every time they hand me a gun I look at it, I open it," Clooney told Maron on the November 15 episode. "I show it to the person I'm pointing it to, I show it to the crew. Every single take, you hand it back to the armorer when you're done." What Clooney said makes perfect sense. That's how someone with a decent understanding of firearms safety would handle such a situation. Baldwin's response to that on national television? "If your protocol is you check the gun every time, well, good for you." Fuging YIKES. Anyone with a basic understanding of firearms safety is just left gobsmacked by a statement like that. Y'all, I don't give a fug about political leaning. I give zero fugs about the Democratic or Republican parties and I honestly think the modern definitions of political "right" and "left" basically translate to "hopelessly ideologically confused". That is just stunningly blatant disregard for firearms safety following a fatal shooting when you were holding the gun. The prosecutor knows they'll be up against the absolute best legal defense money can buy and that will unfortunately play a major role here in whether or not charges are ultimately filed, but honestly... if this prosecutor has any guts charges are getting filed. At minimum he's guilty of gross negligence and possibly others on the set as well.

Jesus Christ. Seriously, do y'all have the slightest idea about basic firearm safety? If anyone hands you a gun, the first thing you do is check the chamber. Is it loaded? It doesn't matter if they tell you it's not loaded. You absolutely assume that it is until you confirm for yourself that it is not. He openly admitted several times that he did not do that. Granted, maybe that's acceptable on a movie set. If so, that needs to change. That's firearm idiocy. That's not political. That's just basic firearms safety 101. He claims he never squeezed the trigger. They're gonna put that gun through the ringer. If they can't duplicate an accidental discharge there's gonna be a BIG problem with his story.

I watch a little bit of that finger pointing blame everyon e except me session last night. Holy poo, what a disaster. Anyone with even a basic understanding of firearm safety sees red flags all over his statements. Surely his attorney has signed proof that he/she advised him to absolutely not do this.

Simply having Sean Payton puts the Saints miles ahead of us.

Anytime someone gets shot, the media claims it's an AR or a Glock. Anytime someone gets dog bit, the same media claims it was a pit bull. No one is clicking on articles about a lab biting someone. Even the "experts" get it wrong. https://www.vetmed.ufl.edu/2016/02/17/dna-studies-reveal-that-shelter-workers-often-mislabel-dogs-as-pit-bulls/ Now tell those same "experts" this dog has bitten someone and the "identified as a pit bull" odds probably jump to 100%.

The coaches change but the baffling approach to OL depth charts doesn't.

Fug the Saints. We ain't going anywhere anyway.

6' 197... sure sounds like a corner to me. That's basically Jaycee Horn.

Agreed. But hey, don't feel bad. He might have fooled us too but at least he didn't swindle us out of tens of millions of dollars. Tepper has to realize at this point that he basically got taken by a con man. That's gotta be rough on the old ego.

The mid-tier SEC programs are stepping stone jobs for a reason. You might be able to have a good season or two but sustained success is going to be practically impossible going up again the Alabamas, LSUs, and Georgias of the world. Might as well leverage that good season or two into landing a job where sustained success is a lot more probable.
