The Scot McCloughan situation

In a wide-ranging column detailing the Redskins' impending split with GM Scot McCloughan, the Washington Post explains the separation was caused by arguments over control and whether to sign Kirk Cousins long term, and the Redskins' lack of support for McCloughan.

We would recommend reading the piece below if you're any kind of NFL fan. McCloughan felt disrespected the Redskins did not defend him when Chris Cooley spread a rumor McCloughan had relapsed into alcoholism. McCloughan also told people in 2016 he would have signed Cousins long term "if he had full control," which "angered" team president Bruce Allen. McCloughan and the coaching staff clashed over McCloughan's preference of more-talented Rashad Ross over coaches-pet Ryan Grant. The Post reports McCloughan never stopped drinking, but "several peers all agreed they didn't believe McCloughan's drinking ever hindered his job." Per the Post, the Redskins and McCloughan are now "in the process of working toward a buyout." Allen and coach Jay Gruden won the power struggle.

so a man who has a multi million dollar position that men across the nation would envy, he has total control and endless resources and is in the midst of losing it all because of alcohol. I'm sorry but that sounds like a controlling disease

I have been an addict for a large portion of my life. My youth was spent with drug abuse, then alcohol abuse, then drug mixed with alcohol abuse. 

I have been to more NA and AA meetings than I care to count. Truth be told they are just replacing one crutch for another. That once you are an addict you are for life thing is good for business but frankly falls short of reality.

Cancer is a disease. Alcohol abuse is a coping mechanism. Like seeing someone that weighs 300 lbs. That's not a disease either. It's lack of willpower to get control of your poo.

Just my opinion of course but from someone that has been around it forever it's all a farce.

Some people definitely seem more prone to addictions than others, but yeah, it's primarily a self inflicted issue. I'm fortunate in that I've never had an addictive personality. Plenty of drugs when I was younger and still drink, heavily on occasion. Never had any issues. Plenty of friends can't say the same.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim,  Strengths - shooting and IQ.   Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      By Mr Mojo Risin · Posted

      I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.
