Capco Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 2 minutes ago, Warcodered said: Honestly that video AB released made me feel bad for him, he sounded exhausted and exasperated in the phone call. That's fair. I think he's overrated as a coach but that doesn't mean he deserved this headcase, even if he should have seen this coming sooner or later. I think Gruden's own ego ("I can fix anyone") got in the way there.
The Wiz Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 2 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: This is accurate but I feel the closest comparison is Terrell Owens who seemed to have a screw loose (doing pushups in his driveway). Not a perfect comparison but it's the only one I can think of. He also constantly thought he was the victim even after being inducted into the HOF. Don't disagree at all. Was just pointing out the different character flaws is all. Most teams can deal with a "me first" attitude or two and off field issues. Hell Owen's was a PR dream compared to AB in retrospect. 2
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 2 hours ago, Rob's House said: There's a difference between behavior inside the workplace and outside the workplace. Outside the context of sports, people with a functioning cerebral cortex find this concept self-evident. Really. Is that so. A lot of us have or had specific clauses in our employment contracts prohibiting us from conduct that would potentially cast our employer in a bad light. Certified professionals, such as lawyers, judges, engineers, social workers, doctors and nurses, and chartered accountants, have to abide by standards that not only prohibit certain specified conduct, but broadly prohibit "conduct unbecoming" a member of that profession generally. The same is true of members of the military and the Federal government. So perhaps the issue is not "people with a functioning cerebral cortext", but that people with a reasonably broad life experience and knowledge of the world don't find this concept self-evident because it is not, in fact, self evident. 1
K-9 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 18 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: He handled that as well as anybody could've. I give him credit for his continued optimism and energy even if he did lose Mack, Cooper, and AB within a year and a half. He handled that perfectly, imo. Loved the crack about the voice on the recorded phone call being Frank Caliendo instead of him. Loved how he emphasized the guys who are there, too. 2
RaoulDuke79 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 3 hours ago, Doc said: Yeah, all these people talking about the AB being changed by the Cheater way forget that Gordon has been ***** up with them repeatedly there. Exactly...like Belichick is some type of great life coach. He may be a damn good football coach, but he's also had his share of cheaters, dopers, and murderers on his roster 1

When someone who is an impartial observer makes a statement, it carries far more weight than when someone close to the situation (like AB or his agent) claim something. That's what is obvious.
