SectionC3

Go squirt some Lysol on your lungs. You’re a literalist of convenience.

All fair questions.

This pretty much sums it up. It's just like the friggin flu vax. But the NC bozo who posts here all of a sudden wants to play the semantics game about messaging from a prior administration. Meanwhile, whatever tripe and lies the current occupant of that office happens to offer is AOK. Let's see how these guys feel about the measles outbreak in South Carolina. The whole thing is a freaking shame, and little kids are going to die because of old wives tales and stupidity.

Honestly, this is so dumb. It really is. It's just like the freaking flu shot. You still might get the flu, but it won't be nearly as severe. Hence the use of the word severe in the WH clip. You should worry more about the Epstein files, or whatever Alzheimer's drug Trump is taking now. Or maybe even the K economy that is not working for Trump voters.

Scratch supposedly and possibly.

Agreed. This is stupid. Not worth getting nuts about, because that only inflames the cult, but it is ridiculous. To this guy nature is just the place where he throws his Big Mac wrappers.

And McD. And pretty much everyone else there.

Anus Man.

I don't disagree, but I think it happened a long time ago.

The non answer could have been more diplomatic and silent as to Beane, that’s for sure. For example, “I’m focused on the guys who are here.” Or, “we’re working through that situation, and we’ll see where it goes.” I suspect McD is pissed about a lot of parts of that deal. At Beane, for butchering it. At the fact that Ingram is gone. At slay, for questioning our culture and desirability. At Rosenhaus, for not telling a client who didn’t want to be here to shut the eff up. And probably at the circumstances. As if he hasn’t had enough to deal with already this season, he gets this boneheaded self inflicted wound. EDIT: I watched the clip. Look at that. McD did get around the mumbo jumbo later in the clip. "I'm focused on our current team and this game this week." And, context is important. The question was really about releasing Slay so as to not hold him hostage. Maybe the response reflects frustration with Slay. I actually take it more as putting responsibility on Beane for the 53 (which might speak to a broader tension with respect to the construct of the roster).

Just imagine what those numbers would look like if there were "somebodys" there. Which is probably McD's point.

You have to understand McDermott to get the anger. Ingram is a kid who scrapped, and worked, and who was respectful, and who came from nothing and never gave up. McD is sort of similar - high school wrestler, undersized, all hustle, hardworking, focused, etc. @GunnerBill is probably dead on with the Keon suggestion. Coleman is a non malevolent bonehead who is immature and plays too many video games and has no attention to detail. That goof sticking while Ingram walks out the door for nothing has got to infuriate McD. What most people also don't understand is that guys like Marino and Tim Graham hear stuff they can't report. So when you get these little nuggets from each of them . . . treat it as a little bit of subtly-identified smoke.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. No inside knowledge, but that guy is a good, experienced reporter. They often hear stuff they can't report. This type of thing is something that easily could be seen as (and something I view as) dropping a hint.

Graham posted something about how McDermott could best be described as "seething" following the loss of Ingram as a corollary to the non-appearance of Slay.

If things end badly, then I would not be shocked if Beane is let go. I read the Tim Graham post as the big hint of tension in that relationship.
