Falcons Prank cost a few pennies

I looked at this from a 21-year old perspective and I was a dumbass college student who would have applauded it and laughed.  Reason?  I was not an empathetic person and would gladly humiliate someone for a laugh--I cringe now when I think of it.  However, I would not have come close to having the balls it took to do something like this.  Your father's job?  targeting a person who is in an emotional free fall?  Forget community service-therapy is needed because there are some very disturbing issues here.  For example, nearly every serial killer was abusive to animals as children.  Punishment is not effective at modifying behavior and attitude.  I would make his apology public and personal--I would have flown him to Shedeur Sanders and met with him if he'd accept. Then I would let a shrink peek into his brain to see why he not only thought of doing this, he did it.

 

Say what you want about Sanders--if you consider the context of his world--whether it was authentic or fabricated or not--Sanders is another 21-23 year old kid, was experiencing emotional pain and rejection like he had never experienced before.  Man, this was cold-hearted.

Should have suspended the coach for allowing the leak. Private info is worth more than a slap on the wrist fines. I kind of hope Sanders sues. Not sure he can but that would be funny if he could recoup what he lost in the draft by having his dad as the worst agent ever since Norman's cousin.

to be fair a 100k fine is a HUGE chunk out of a coach income.  we think its just a number but thats a HUGE chunk out of someones yearly earnings

Not trying to be melodramatic but from a corporate standpoint there is a big push for data security and privacy pertaining to personal information.  Someone mentioned in the other thread about suing the kid but the only place there is possible money is him suing the Falcons organization for negligence related to the leaked personal information.  

At best, Shedur makes some added bank and the Falcons look like fools while this circus plays out. At worst, he’ll get free credit monitoring for a year or two.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
