I'm going to choose to believe that's the only place he can grow hair and he isn't willing to give it up.

I can't find a picture but you can see what we're talking about here.

It was good to hear him say he might be interested in coaching, I think he could be good at it. And lord knows every Chiefs defender other than Justin Houston needs work on their hand-fighting.

e: Huh, listened to a little bit of his music. It isn't abjectly horrible like I was assuming it would be. I don't know if I'd call it good but it's laid back and chill.

I'm getting to the point where I have to start culling podcasts and his is starting to look mighty tempting. I'm not seeing what I get there other than when Andrew Brandt or Greg Cossell are on.

Agreed. It’s tough listening to some of what he says now because boy it’s stupid.

Suggestions for other daily/regular podcasts doing a similar sort of thing? At least listening to the RTFP keeps me up to date with what’s going on, I’d miss that if I just stopped listening.

My big memory of Ross Tucker is the podcast, I think right after Seau died or right after some sort of function honoring Seau, where he started telling a story. He was laughing about how he cheap-shotted Junior in the face mask and nearly knocked him out. During some joint practice. Sue got up and gave him some poo poo. Ross was laughing about it and then kind of trails off realizing what he's talking about.

On the bright side you know this really super pisses Jerry Richardson off because he doesn't think of it this way. He thinks of it as if he was broke and he's giving up 2.75 million which is unprecedented!!!

So at least he's probably really angry about this.

Sounds like he's admitting guilt here.

quote:

Jameis Winston Statement

“The NFL informed me today that I will be suspended for the first three games of the season.

First and foremost, I would like to say I’m sorry to the Uber driver for the position I put you in. It is uncharacteristic of me and I genuinely apologize. In the past 2 1/2 years my life has been filled with experiences, opportunities and events that have helped me grow, mature and learn, including the fact that I have eliminated alcohol from my life.

I know I have to hold myself to a higher standard on and off the field and that I have a responsibility to my family, community, and teammates to live above the platform with which God has blessed me. I apologize to my teammates, the Buccaneers organization and fans for letting them down and for not being able to be out there for the first three games of the season. Although I am disappointed in the NFL’s decision, I understand the NFL’s process, and I embrace this as an opportunity to take advantage of the resources available to help me achieve the goals that I have for myself.

I now look forward to putting this behind me and I will continue to work hard every day to be a positive influence in my community and be the best person, teammate and leader I can be.”

For fans of the Steelers how do you square your fandom of the team against the awfulness of the QB’s history? I stopped caring for the Bucs after Winston was drafted because I felt he probably assaulted that woman at FSU and the school and Tally PD covered it up. I’ve resigned myself to just not follow the Bucs as long as he is on the team, is that how it works for Steelers fans?

If I'm the Bucs I move on from Winston. I mean, I would have never selected him in the first place, but from a vile, detached, calculated, bottom-line perspective, his level of talent is not nearly enough to make up for the PR hits they constantly take for the horrible things he does.

I kind of thought it was gonna go up by the end. But I'm sure his promise not to appeal and his "apology" convinced the NFL not to make a bigger deal about it. I do believe that Winston was so drunk he probably doesn't even remember what happened (he was put on the uber in the first place because he was so wasted and making a huge rear end of himself). Regardless if that's the person that comes out when you drink then that's who you are, at least a little bit

I mean you're watching a sport that exists so a bunch of obscenely rich assholes extort cities for billions of dollars so that a bunch of 20-somethings can get into simulated car crashes over and over again until they end up crippled and brain damaged and shoot themselves at age 43.
