The cartoon might be in bad taste, but as for the firearms, get over it, people. I think that much of the "outrage" of these photos is race based. Would anybody give a crap about Chris Kelsey, or kw, or jimbo with a similar pic? Maybe I'm wrong.

 

I don't know if you're right or wrong, but I don't recall much hubbub about Jared Allen's affinity for guns:

Maybe Mario should put on some camo and it'd be all good.

 

Or how bout the NFL's golden boy Drew Brees?

It also looks like amateur reporters also redefined the meaning of "brandishing"

When it comes to Tim Graham, I'll start off by saying I've never met the man. I do have to say though, I follow him on twitter, and watching his back a forths with fellow tweeters can get quite annoying. Definitely seems like the type of dude that is sensitive and thin skinned.

Didn't Mario post a pic of a gun with a silencer attached on a pillow? That has a completely different meaning - at least to me - than the above pics.

Good to know Tank is unarmed. That to me is the supprise of the whole story. It is one thing to be anti gun but if you are a big celebrity why announce that you are not protecting yourself?

 

That would be a blast to shoot. But I live in the great State of NY. :doh:

How is there anything wrong with this? Did people cry havoc and let slip the dogs of bitchiness last year when Mario put up the Super Mario Brothers graphic that featured him throwing fireballs at Tom Brady?

 

This is much ado about nothing. I'm not even a gun enthusiast, but Mario has been pretty explicit about how he handles guns safely and within the boundaries of the law (I remember him talking about parts of his firearm collection he couldn't bring to NY because of various state laws).

 

If the NFL even has a gun problem, Mario ain't part of it.

Yes, Mario IS forming a pattern. He continues to make HUGE donations to the Houston PD so they can purchase equipment to protect their community.

 

Nice! I did not know that. He should be making donations to the Orchard Park police, though, so they can protect themselves from the fans on Sunday afternoons.

Tim Graham is having a tough time holding onto a job...someone needs to write a story about him and what may be wrong with him. Just Sayin'

He used to be a semi-regular contributor to the board. Seemed OK but as you have noted perhaps a bit thin skinned with a side of "can dish it out but can't take it".

I'm not into guns in general... but even with me being anti gun, there's nothing damning about owning legal firearms, as long as he's not doing anything stupid with them.

 

This gets a big "meh", from me.

The guy promotes gun safety and is a licensed peace officer in Texas, this story is total garbage.....I think it's time for the media to back off they guy.

 

What else would you expect from the Tim Grahams of the world. We have an endless supply of tools that do nothing but manufacture garbage for a living under the guise of 'news'.

What is with this double standard? When OJ was accused of murder there were jokes from day 1. Now suddenly no one can speak their opinions about Hernandez (even separate from the charges) without being criticized. I didn't know Bellicheat had such a far reach.
