No, I think people automatically went to things one could realistically be fired for. Wouldn’t matter what country he was in.

Right. Couldn't be assault. Couldn't be getting in a fight. Couldn't be severe drunkenness. Couldn't be racial slurs. Couldn't be attacking a player. Couldn't be yelling at the head coach. Insubordination. Drunken driving. Pissing or crapping in public. Pushing a metermaid. Pissing on the Mexican equivalent of the Alamo. Stealing someone's burrito. Going into the other team's locker room and causing problems. Attacking or screaming at the refs after the game. Driving a rental car into light pole and running away. Hitting his girlfriend. Hitting his mistress.

 

Think I could go on?

 

No, no, couldn't be one of those or something else.

 

You're totally right. It happened in Mexico and he got fired. Must be prostitution or drugs.

Hope he can find redemption there. As really may need to work on his anger management.

If he's any good, I'm sure he will have no problem finding redemption... On the Andy Reid Circus Show of Morality 🙄

He was accused of fondling some woman who reported it to Mexican police who told the Cardinals after which he was fired.

Well actually he probably is right as in the NFL if you do any of those things you mention, you often will get a new contract for more money!  For sure couldn't have been hitting girlfriend or wife.  Admittedly with coaches, it is a much shorter rope.

I don’t think anything you listed would lead to an automatic firing while out of the country, especially since it doesn’t sound like he was arrested by the police.

So beat a kid, we'll cover for you as long as we can. Grab a woman, you're hitchhiking home from Huixquilucan.

 

Good messaging, Cardinals.

NFL can't have another DeSean Watson situation especially when the NFLPA already is saying the standard is different for owners, coaches and execs than for players.

Well he might have been “coaching” something other than football.

Wow, as I look through the thread I wonder about some of you folks.

 

Mexico is mentioned and it goes straight to prostitution and drugs. And that's thought hilarious.

 

It's a beautiful country with a fantastic culture.

 

Yeah, there are drugs and prostitution there. I've heard there are one or two places in America also where you can find those.

Expand  

No one insulted the country of Mexico...lol.  People are so damn sensitive.  I think it's more like: the premise is a high testosterone meathead man travels to foreign country away from wife and kids - now, what's the most likely type of trouble he's going to get into?  And this goes for if the game was played in London, France, Germany, etc.

Coaches don't get fired for taking in the scenery and culture.

Are you suggesting that he was concealing his identity or that he was hurling dumbbells at passers by?

"His bio has been removed from the website."

 

Yikes.

 

EDIT:  oh, man, he fondled someone who was unwilling? Fair enough.

 

To think he was on the Bills staff for a while.

Honestly, based on the order those events took place...would it have been better if they also covered for Kugler now?  What else are they supposed to do?  They can't go back in time and correct their handling of the previous incident...they can only deal with the current incident.

Let’s be real, punishment is really determined by how important someone is to the team.

The standard is, if you're a player you get a big contract with lots of guaranteed money like Watson did?  That different standard?
