Of course it’s not easy when you don’t have Peyton Manning making you look smarter than what you really are.

I'm all for letting the pervert have it for his treatment of women in the workplace and abusing his authority in that way but let's not act like the man was a racist. That's embarrassingly misleading at this point.

You mean like Cam Newton who he hired a white conservative to teach about race relations? Or the team who he banned from expressing their views on police brutality against black people?

Players are different anyways. Pollian was talking from an office employee's perspective, not a player's. The players made him all of his money and did all the work. He couldn't be as overtly hostile to them as he would have liked.

Something to think about...

If the new owners go with the "consultant" route (and I hope they do) one of the candidates to fill that role could actually be Bill Polian.

Ernie Accorsi, Ron Wolf or Joe Gibbs would be better choices in my opinion.

Also true that if they go that route you can probably predict who the GM will be by the consultant.

fug that man, he is a sore loser crying over spilled milk.

Panthers getting that SB ring and Rivera is going to shove it up his poo lol!

From Bill Polian's wikipedia page

Quote

 

In 2006, According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, Polian reportedly shoved a New York Jets employee by pinning him against a wall, for placing speakers too close to the field during warmups.^[9] The league required Polian to issue a written apology to the Jets employee.^[10]

Seems like Bill Polian may not be that easy to work with.  Also the owner he "worked so closely with" in Indianapolis was a heavy drug addict and kind of a dickhead.  I don't think I'll lose any rest over what this mouth breathing idiot has to say.

[Mr. Scot]

Polian reportedly threw a chair at an agent during a contentious negotiation as well (most likely when he was with the Bills).

The story was also told that on more than one occasion when Polian and Richardson were working together, Richardson saw Polian getting worked up over something and passed notes to him urging him to calm down.

So yeah, Polian was a tad... volatile.

That said, he's never been accused of asking someone to show him how they put their jeans on or if he could shave their legs. So there's that...

Dude got sued for not promoting black employees and for offering up segregated seating until the late 80s. Panthers fans need to get their head out of the sand. Go back and read what he said about Cam leading up the draft, it is dripping with antebellum racism.

Spot on , why do you think Jerry Jones wanted him to replace Goodell after the Trump comments.

I find that comment interesting...as Polian was many years ago.

 

 

Great find, LP.  Have a beer.

Everyone who doesn't slober over Jerry Richardson knows he's an awful person to work for.

Seems to be all that poster focuses on...   What a miserable way to live....

Polian built this team into an instant contender, and was offered a better job in Indianapolis.  When we didn't match, he left in a snit and has been throwing shade our way ever since.

Regardless of how you feel about JR, Polian is a jerk in his own right.  And he also is pretty good at building a team that will almost get you there, but not quite.

Another report that was never backed up by anyone and still hasn't been
