Lol. Salty as hell. Yeah, it was handled very badly but it was a good and necessary decision to cut him. I would imagine most players wouldn't love a GM that placed trying to win over their feelings and past accomplishments.

I have met Smith a few  times.  He is an asshole. Once, he was rude to my son when signing his 89 jersey. My son was wearing the jersey, so he had his back to Smith.   SS was asking my son for his name--my  son (8 at the time) thought Smith was going to write his own name on it, so he was confused.  I had told my  son that Smith would sign his name on the numbers, so I understood why he was confused. Smith started repeating himself slowly  and louder---as if my son was slow.   My son said, "I am Garrett--I was thinking you would write your name on it."  Smith wanted to make it out  to him personally so he could not re-sell  it, I assume.  Smith then said something to him I could not understand, but it was delivered with a short, angry tone.   He took the jersey and walked away with it--as if he was going to keep it.  Then  he signed it and threw the pen and the jersey to him at once, about 10 feet away--Garrett had to pick them up off the ground.  I quietly told Smith that if I had known he was going to be a dick about it, I would never have bought him the jersey. Smith said something I could not  understand  and shrugged  his shoulders and walked  off.

You could argue that he did not have to sign the jersey at all,  but he was my son's  favorite player until that day.  I was taking a picture of Smith signing it, so he  probably thought I  was an Ebay hack.   I do not have an Ebay account--we had a frame for the jersey to put up in Garrett's room.

TBF, you're one in a million with most of those millions trying to resell it. I wouldn't even bother with it. They've been told to avoid people without kids and most of those people now just use their kids to get the signature. Maybe he had a bad day, who knows. Can't go out just calling someone an asshole.

It's definitely not like there's a lack of evidence that Smitty is an asshole. Look, I love Smitty too. Part of what made him the player that he was is that massive chip on his shoulder. But let's not pretend like he's a nice, easy going guy.

Well. It was Marty’s team that went to the Super Bowl, except for the fact that Marty didn’t pick those DT’s that helped us get there. I love Hurney to death, but without Dave picking Star and KK we don’t get there. If we don’t sure up the 1 or 0 (depending on the set we run) somehow through draft or FA we won’t get to the playoffs or make a run. Poe ain’t it

Gettleman looked brilliant early on. Nailed that Star/KK double dip and all of his bargain basement free agents worked out perfectly. Then it all unraveled. He reached on luxury picks (Shaq and Butler) while ignoring other massive needs, then capped it all off with a disastrous free agent class. That's not to even get into the Norman debacle.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
