Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)

[quote=SmootSmack;1020999]I haven't read the story yet. And being close to being cut does surprise me. But Urban Meyer covering up a drive by shooting? Yeah I could see that. I don't know him well enough to think he wouldn't. But I do know him well enough to know he, like many others, in his position blurs the lines between right and wrong. And after what the Baylor basketball coach did, anything is possible

Heavy user of angel dust? Why would I have reason to be skeptical?

But I get it. You have an ingrained skepticism about the media so you have your doubts there's any legitimacy to any of this[/quote]

Like I said, not a fan of Urban, but Im gonna give him the benefit. Covering up a drive by shooting, thats pretty low.

Heavy user of angel dust, its just that you typically dont find the a user abusing over and over consistently. You really dont want too. And its just the rarity of finding it. Ill be surprised, but hey get your sherm on.

No ingrained sketicism about the media, Im just considering all angles and see a motive for RS. I would again like to see who actually wrote it as well.

Wow. Talk about no respect. Our backfield of Morris, Young & Helu rated as 19th in the league.

JR, I'd be happy with being ranked 33rd, as it really doesn't matter.

Even if Grossman were our starter, we'd rank higher than that.

True enough. Still, it just goes to show how little some of the talking heads know about the Skins. It really isn't[I] just [/I]the RGIII show. This is a deep team.

[quote=Mattyk;1021007]Well, RS is in the biz of selling magazines so...

Read the article for yourself and see what you think.

Thats Matty, Ill read it tonight.

Anyone remember Aaron Curry? Was supposed to be the for sure great linebacker... Retired at 27.

[quote=Chico23231;1020869]Looks like Rolling Stone is trying to sell magazines again...

First how are you almost cut when just got an extension, second Urban Meyer would not cover up a drive by shooting, just how ridiculous is that statement. I know Urban Meyer is a first class POS, but covering up a drive by? No.

Hernandez was a heavy user of angel dust? what? are they failed drug test or any evidence at all? And why angel dust, I mean ive know some people with substance abuse problems and they got help and got better. But ive never known anyone who said angel dust was their drug of choice. I could be believe maybe Hernandez experiemented, but a heavy user or addict to that? No way.

Rolling Stone needs to focus on music, they are really on a losing roll imo.[/quote]

Idk, doesn't seem that hard to believe to me. If he knew how to get past the drug testing who's to know exactly what he was doing. PCP does seem like an oddly specific drug to mention, but I'll wait until I read the whole article to know how they reached that conclusion.

And as far as the whole "close to being cut" argument goes, well I can remember at least one player who was recently here who got a huge extension and was traded the following offseason. It's not unreasonable to believe they gave him the extension thinking he'd earn it as long as he stayed out of major trouble, but looking at what happened I think once they found out the seriousness of the charges it was pretty easy to cut him.

And as far as the Urban Meyer thing goes, it could've been pretty easy for him to make the decision to help cover it up if he didn't know all the details, or if he thought Hernandez's involvement was minimal. We hear articles every day about major NCAA programs violating rules and covering things up, and I have little doubt that at a major program like Florida taking care of the football team is of pretty high priority, because that's probably the breadwinner for the entire program.

I'm not going to call him guilty now but with everything we know it's not hard to see these points as conceivable given the circumstances.

Yeah, I remember the so-called "safest pick in the draft." Surely he'll find some way to put to use the 34 million guaranteed he earned in the NFL.

[quote=Mattyk;1021021]Totally ridiculous.[/quote]

Speaking of no respect and totally ridiculous, I liked this statement by Revis about Richard Sherman: [url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000235114/article/darrelle-revis-to-richard-sherman-show-some-respect]Darrelle Revis to Richard Sherman: Show some respect - NFL.com[/url].

Revis has to come back healthy to show he's still the best cover man, but that aside, I complete agree that the guys in the league who show little respect for those who came before them (nod to Darrell Green here) need to STFU. I am with Revis on this one.

Love this quote from that article:
