Weird flex but ok

It has more to do with  “there might be something more to this than Tepper man bad” which was the main issue in the other thread.

There are too many here that want to crucify Dave over anything when Wilson made his own bed.

It’s people mocking others for overreacting. No one is happy at Wilson for getting accused of that. To even suggest that is a pretty twisted thought process IMO.

I'm torn. On the one hand, I'm glad it's not another knee jerk Tepper Panthers firing or another high level employee bailing ship. On the other hand, this is just a really shitty situation and that sucks.

Logical response. We made the right decision in a very unfortunate situation.

LOL at people using this an excuse to defend Tepper 

It's more of a cautionary tale of using your brain before spending a week pushing a conclusion that is manufactured to push an agenda

“Someone said the truth about Bryce” lol

Now that one was funny. And obviously meant that way.

I haven’t read the account of Wilson’s alleged crime but as with this all this stuff it is best to make sure the charges are legit.

There is a clear recent history of firings and someone was fired. 

All I said it was odd timing and pointed out the pattern.

If you really wanna clutch your pearls, you should be joining in with the people you’re selectively criticizing…against your buddies who were treating Wilson like the poor victim/noble martyr of a meanie unfair billionaire. Imagine being assaulted by someone in a prominent position, him getting fired, and people on the internet jumping through hoops to publicly coddle your abuser and propping him up as a hero (“told the truth about Bryce and got fired” lol) or at the very least, just a blameless victim of collateral damage of a dysfunctional organization.

Save the phony performative outrage. That was such an embarrassing thing to post.

Most of the people just said it was weird how they did it and it was weird. Just say he was released for non-workplace conduct and it wouldn't have been an issue. Instead they just took him off the website, were caught doing so and waited for the story to finally break while only confirming he was released? Still weird on the Panther's end.

 

From a business standpoint it's safest to say nothing. There's a cast at Faire right now going through a lawsuit because they openly discussed a performer getting fired for DV & it turned out to be bullpoo. 

Saying "non workplace conduct" might be mitigating, (I have no idea what laws/league rules apply) but may not be a secure enough cya.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
