Panthers put interim GM Marty Hurney on paid leave after ex-wife’s allegations

[Manther]

I wasn't excited about Hurney to begin with, but I'm unclear whether he has done anything here.  So she has retracted it?

[MVPccaffrey]

Don't even care if he's guilty or not.  Anything to get this bum out of here is nothing but good news right now.  Get him and Richardson the fug out of here as soon as possible and maybe some people can be put in place that actually runs the team like professionals should.

It's lousy of me because I won't take part in dreaming up a scenario where an innocent man could lose his job? Right...

I can't speak for Scot but I want him to lose his job because he's unqualified for it.  This drama is the last thing this team needs.

So what Hurney and his ex can't get along?  Got to keep that behind closed doors though because everyone has opinion and to this franchise apparently that matters.

 

I'm laughing at the dysfunction.

 

What a sad legacy the once revered founder will leave.

Didn't read a word of what I said, did you?

It's called "speculation" and it happens all the time.  Doesn't mean it's what I want to happen.

And let's be real: You don't know that Hurney's innocent.  You assume so because that's your judgment, but none of us know. My position is that I don't know either way.  My hope is that the truth comes out regardless of what ultimately happens with the GM job because that's what's best and real life is more important than football.

For someone who fells like they've got a firm idea on a situation involving people they don't know, you don't have any idea about the reality of someone you've talked to directly.

 

What we do know: 

The judge denied her claim (which apparently is unusual)

Both attorneys have said it's BS

Her attorney suggests it won't go to court

She withdraws her claim as soon as Hurney brings it to light 

Yeah, that's enough for me to honor "innocent until proven guilty".

Stop being so sensitive. You were literally saying he won't survive this because of court of public opinion. No one is accusing you of directly wanting an innocent man canned. I'm just not agreeing your suggestion is resonable based on the info we know at this time.

Yeah I want him out because he's a bad GM too. If his ex wife is going to make some meritless claims that's out of his control and he doesn't deserve to be punished for it

Oh really?

Oh I'm reading it and I get what you're suggesting/praying for. I'm just not going to jump on your bandwagon of excitement for removing a man from his job because of some retracted accusations that both attorneys and the judge have all said have no merit just because YOU think youre painting some rational picture of how this "could" unfold.

Yeah, this is what I'm "praying for". My second choice was for Marty to get  hit by a car. That was before I decided to just dream up a scenario where an innocent man could lose his job instead.

He's subject to only team or league sanctions if any are warranted, which doesn't appear to be any justification for based on what I've read if the situation.

 

I still want him gone.  Bad juju around that man.

Spin is the American way.   It's a multi-billion dollar industry.

Yes.  I hate the man personally.  You got me.  Can't escape your clear powers of perception.

You accused me of hoping for a bad thing to happen to someone in real life over football.  I called you on it and quoted where you did it,  Now instead of manning up and apologizing for it, you're trying to deflect.

That tells me a lot.

Where isn Brandon Beane when you need him!!!  Bahahahhaha

Wouldn't call it "fun" but at least it was a civil discussion before Riot came in and started acting like this was something I was happy about.
