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.

Everyone here knows how happy you would be if Hurney was put on permanent paid leave and a new GM was hired. You can spin it so that I'm the asshole here, but you're gonna get dizzy.

What about a retracted accusation? 

She didn't retract the accusation, she retracted the complaint.  Effectively, she's saying that while he did these things, she doesn't want it to go to court.  

Now, I agree with what you're saying.  Based on what we know (not what the Marty haters hope/wish), there is a very high likelihood that this is complete BS and a failed money grab by his ex-wife.  While I don't think he is as bad of a GM as some have convinced themselves he is, I don't think he is particularly good either.  I personally prefer someone with direct scouting experience.  With that said, I would hate for him to lose/not get the job because of this smelly accusation.  I'd rather he not get the job based on merit.

Which is effectively saying she doesn't want it to go to court because she can't prove it beyond a resonable doubt. 

I don't want him as a GM but that's a different story and independent of this

Conveniently she created it after trying to get more alimony. The judge said there wasn't evidence of it, then marty tattled right after it happened. The team told the NFL and Marty was put on leave. Then she withdrew the claim and her lawyer says there's nothing to see here. This wreaks of showmanship and greed.

I'd be happy if Marty Hurney wasn't the GM here anymore. I would not be happy in any way, shape or form to see his life destroyed. 

 Someone I know was falsely accused of molesting kids, so I've seen up close the kind of damage a false accusation can do.  I've also seen a friend that I strongly defended against an allegation of date rape turn out to actually be guilty.  That was just as bad.  And having been divorced before and been around others who've divorced, I've seen just how ugly domestic situations where people's emotions run high can get.

None of this screams "good situation" to me.

Again, you haven't got a clue about me and you haven't understood most of what I've said, yet you still suggested that I would be okay with a terrible thing happening and tried to deflect when you were called on it.  So yes, that makes you an asshole.

It very well could be garbage, yet still affect his ability to get the job.

Fair?  Hell no, but that's the world we live in.

What I found most suspicious about her responses was the discussion about how "none of these charges affect his ability to run a football team."  Like I said before, you could see that as just her not being vindictive and hoping she doesn't cause him irreparable harm.  However, it's just as easy to see this as trying to make sure he keeps his high paying job so she can get more money.

The whole thing is an unholy mess that could go in a lot of different directions.

And yeah, given what Richardson was accused of, a story like this does indeed make it more difficult to hand Hurney the job.

What the team could do is something similar to what the Texans did: Install someone else as GM and put Hurney on "paid leave" indefinitely.

Marty still gets paid, probably for a while (at least until new ownership steps in) but we get a new GM.

I can live with that.

So you're not exciting about the man losing his job but "you can live with it". 

Lol....yep, I'm the asshole.

Real dilemma for her, she can't say the allegations are false or she gets nailed for filling a false lawsuit and if he doesn't get the GM job in part die to these allegations, he sues her for slander and libel. Hence the reason her attorney said that nothing should impact his ability to lead a football team.  When they filed the complaint they painted the worse picture they could to get more money. Now it will be scrutinized for accuracy and examined closely and she may have liability.
