End well, this will not....

I don't see the big deal.  He's just saying he's a big boy and maybe he could play DT.  People are too sensitive.  Lets start the David Newton witch hunt since he's in the public eye.   

It's a big deal because when he's tweeting under his ESPN handle, he's tweeting in a professional capacity.  Everything he tweets is a direct reflection of ESPN whether he and/or they like it or not.  It's extremely unprofessional.  What would be seen as a relatively harmless all in good fun message board post is a lot different when it comes from a professional writer under his professional handle.  Night and day difference between the two.

Yasinskas was good when he was with the Observer but terrible when he went to ESPN.

As to Newton, yeah that was out of line.

Terrible? Think that may be an overstatement. Sure he skewed Bucs, but the guy lived in Tampa and covered a whole division. I'm not one typically to say Person X is terrible at their job (as few really understand what goes into a given job), but Pat Y. was light years ahead of what we have now. As mainstream media coverage goes, I definitely miss Pat.

How would you feel if Luke himself tweeted it?  There would be no outrage at all including from ole fat boy.

But Luke didn't tweet it.  Luke wouldn't have tweeted it.  If he did, I guarantee he'd get a talking to from the team.  You better believe these players' social media accounts are monitored.  If they aren't, then that's a massive oversight from any team that's employing them.

    • 38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me Riddick is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah      
    • Can they play QB? And some stuff from Ride the Lightning, too?
    • When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
