Here's some irony for ya...

Martin Mayhew was one of the three sham Rooney Rule interviews that  Jerry Richardson used to "comply" with the rule before hiring Marty.

Now, per LaCanfora, one of the reasons listed for giving Mayhew the GM position instead of Marty is that the new rules give the Redskins a 3rd round pick for making him the GM rather than Marty.

Brilliant. The dude finally gets his shot and now he finds out it's for a comp pic and working under Marty fuging Hurney.

I thought the team who had him last got the pick not the hiring team. 

I've seen it both ways so I'm honestly not sure.

Seems kinda ass backwards not to give the incentive to the team that does the hiring honestly, but it's the NFL so...

The one thing I do know is that the 49ers could have blocked Washington from interviewing Mayhew if the job didn't involvr roster control.

La Canfora says it's the 49ers who get the comp pick with Mayhew  getting the GM job, which is consistent with how I understood the incentive works. It's supposed to encourage teams to develop minority talent. 

It may be that the 49ers threatened to block it, which they could do if Mayhew wasn't getting the GM title, to ensure he'd get hired as GM and they'd get the comp pick.

Gotcha. Like I said that seems kinda backwards to me but hey...

Still find it pretty ironic that Mayhew ended up with the job Marty wanted. There's a certain level of poetic justice there.

I agree. I think an incentive for the hiring team would be more helpful than the current structure, but I guess they might be trying to overcome any systemic issues that suppress minority hiring at the lower levels.

      Cam will be on a reality show, airing in January

      By d-dave · Posted

      There's a real physical toll that playing in the NFL takes on the body.  Certain things just won't work the same, which will make some of those challenges painful and hard.  These folks are all rich and have cushy lives to return to.  I'm not saying Cam will leave first, but I can see it after a few episodes when old injuries flare up.  Or he decides he's done with it.

      His size could work against him…BUT Cam is a weird duck.  He was wired differently.  I would bet on the young Cam that could barely get dressed after a loss….that dude wouldn’t have quit easily IMO.  But that dude doesn’t exist anymore.

      i got attacked by a housecat once. pretty terrifying.  i was at a friends house and the cat jumped on my lap. it was calm for a minute but then it turned on it's back and bit my hand and sunk it's claws into my arm, all four of them so i grab the thing and pull the thing off my arm, dragging it's claws down my arm. i finally get the crazy thing off and throw it on the ground then it grabs my leg (fortunately i was wearing jeans that day) and the owner, who has just been sitting there in shock watching this happen to this point, grabs the thing and carries it downstairs and throws it outside.  supposedly that cat had never done anything like that before. i had been over there a lot and never had any problems with that cat. but something happened to it and it was never the same. went completely mental. they kept it outside after that. one week they went on vacation for a few days and apparently a stray chow came around and when they got home, the chow had the cat trapped under a car. no telling how long it had been there.  they chased off the chow and the cat ran off and they never saw it again. then that chow came back and hung around for a while and was terrorizing the other animals, including an old horse they had in a pasture. it killed at least one cat that i know of. they called animal control on it and they found it under one of their outbuildings. they figured the only thing they could do is shoot the thing. they shot it with a shot gun and it took one blast and then went running towards the guy who shot it and had to shoot it again.
