You can keep the snitch.

Be happy to. After all, he's actually allowed to take part in this coming season.

If you use the term snitch or rat you're already showing yourself to be a person not to be taken seriously.

Gotta agree. Pretty silly.

Extraordinarily perceptive B)

I'd like to tell ya it gets better.

I stink at lying :(

Free-agent tight end Jeremy Shockey fired back at NFL Network analyst Warren Sapp, claiming there is no way he would ever have been the source of information that led to the bounty investigation by the NFL and severe penalties against the New Orleans Saints.

“It’s reckless, it’s careless, it’s hurtful to me and the great time I had with the Saints,” said Shockey, who was accused by Sapp of being the “snitch” in this story. “Sean Payton is a father figure to me. I would never do that to him or to the Saints.”

Shockey then twice offered to take a polygraph test to prove his innocence.

The accusation by Sapp threatens to undercut the NFL’s policy of protecting sources. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has repeatedly said the league would protect “whistleblowers” who reported violations of league policy.

Society benefits from those who blow the whistle on those who choose to be corrupt and set out to intentionally hurt others so they can achieve their goals. If what you are doing is illegal or against the rules, then you deserve to have what ever you try to hide brought to light.

If you know that something like the above is going on having witnessed it for whatever reason (employee, friend, family, or whatever) then you have an obligation to society to expose it and that obligation goes beyond any other connections that you have with the offender.

It should be done early to prevent more wrongs from taking place, but ultimately it doesn't matter when or why a whistle blower does his duty as long as they do it.

Unfortunately, honesty, integrity, and a being able to follow a sound moral and ethical compass are not valued by large segments of society as much as a supposed connection to a certain group. This is nothing new (been around for centuries) but it comes from a culture that is driven by people who have stuff to hide. The ones at the top of dishonorable organizations try to make it a bad thing to do the right thing so they make a persons internal compass point towards loyalty at any cost to the group over doing what is right.

It sucks that this mentality is taken on by so many in organizations of all kind, esp. those that are supposed to be the most ethical (talking roman catholic hiding sex abuse among others). It permeates society to a sickening level...look no further than negative comments about being a snitch (snitches get stiches) and being a rat in this thread.

Those who do bad things have succeeded in making what should be honorable and noble into dishonorable and ignoble.

Warren Sapp is part of the problem. He may not be doing the bad things himself, but he's making it ok for bad things to continue by making it uncomfortable for those who want to truly do the right thing afraid of coming forward. that, imo, makes him just as guilty as the offender.

Did Shockey blow the whistle? Maybe. Maybe not. For his sake if he did I hope it never comes out. Whoever did blow that whistle, though, did the right thing regardless of their connection to the saints and the league is better for it. It's a shame that some people within the NFL, esp. players, view the whistle blowing as a bad thing because they chose the integrity of the sport and safety of all it's participants. It also helps in perserving their career and keep it safe from unecessary risk.

      Who do you despise more… LaMelo Ball or Bryce Young

      By Lurk21 · Posted

      Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

      Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
