So many (rhetorical) questions: Will polite friends even bring this up in conversation? To what degree will Jimbo get asked about this in his daily conversations? Will some friends and acquaintances actually go so far as to give him "flack" for this? Then separately: Does Jimbo feel any responsibility for the person his nephew has become? Should Jimbo feel any responsibility for the person his nephew has become? How many of you are uncles or significant elders to a younger person? How much responsibility do you feel for how that younger person has turned out? On 2/23/2024 at 8:54 AM, hondo in seattle said: I've seen wrongful accusations in the past. We all have. I'm not making a snap judgment. I also try not rushing to judgement but my first reaction is not that there's been "wrongful accusations in the past." My first reaction is that "Chad Kelly has a terrible track record and it's really hard to give him any benefit of the doubt." BTW I see now that the Argos have suspended him for the preseason and half the regular season. 1 Quote
davefan66 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Kelly had a great season last year. I bet the hope was he finally got his act together. I guess not. League wouldn’t suspend him unless the evidence was too strong. Not sure a NFL team was looking for a 30 year old with the issues this kid had. Pretty sure any hope of the NFL is done now. 1 Quote
Chandler#81 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Any lawsuit against Chad Kelly for devious actions is a slam dunk case. 🤷♂️ Quote

Lots of testosterone flowing in those locker rooms. It's unfortunate but if you want to be a football coach you need to be ugly. Nobody deserves that treatment, just sayin' I can imagine she will have similar issues anywhere. She should sue for more and go into another profession. Again, not fair or warranted but she's going to have a tough time. Great message there. "Hey ladies, forget about doing what you're passionate about because men can't control themselves and 'it is what it is.' Sorry, sugar britches." Good lord. 2 1 Quote

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Canadian Tire has also banished Kelly to cardboard and garbage disposal in the basement of the Etobicoke location. And demotion from 'Assistant Manager' to 'Associate'. 1 1 Quote
holla83 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 He also ran on the field to join in a bench clearing brawl with high school kids when his younger brother was playing at St. Joe's. He got kicked off the team at Clemson in addition to his high school team in PA. I'm pretty sure he got in a bar fight while at Ole' Miss. Just throwing in some stories that may have been missed in this thread. Quote

I can't argue with your take but I will say that people generally have the opportunity to redeem themselves and I think Jimbo has. Moreover I'm sympathetic to his misfortunes. Chad on the other hand... Quote

I know a dozen or so St Joe's grads who were all 2 years ahead of Kelly and so were around for all the nonsense at that level. Chad Kelly has been overwhelmingly despised at every step along his journey, it seems. What a terrible nepo bro. 1 Quote

But also hated the kid. Quote
