A thread about bad football parents

Recommended Posts

So, tonight at the football game in the first quarter, a parent from nash central came over to our side, climbed on the band director's stand and proceeded to yell at him. The guy then grabbed our directors head with both hands and was shaking it. I think our director was in shock but did shove the guy off the stand. It's not like our director could hit him in front of all the kids.

Early in the 2nd quarter, the guy comes sauntering back by, salutes our director, and walks back around to the visitor side. By this time, security had been made aware of the guy. They tossed him during the half.

This guy was coked out of his mind and you could smell alcohol on him.

My husband had a part in all this, but doesn't want me to talk about it. I'll just say my hubby went to the director's defense and went after the guy. We love our director.

Oh, and the guy was pissed because the band was playing while nash central was on offense. Hello, dumbass. That means we were on defense and can make all the noise we want.

Our band didn't shut up the entire second half when we were on defense. Caused several delays of game against the bulldogs. :) Don't piss the band director off.

Icing on the cake? We won.

i've been involved in martial arts for fifteen years, and i was heavily involved in the tournament circuit for half of them... and having worked as a judge in those tournaments i can tell you the absolute worst thing to deal with was the parents of some of the kids. i swear half those people check their brains at the door when they come in.

this one woman volunteered as a scorekeeper in one of the rings, conveniently putting herself in the one where her son (about ten years old) was competing. the kid was a little punk, goofing around the entire time. she asked me what judges look for and one thing i mentioned is how the competitor presents himself from the moment he enters the ring, and she immediately went over and told him to straighten up. then after he'd gone through his forms in front of the judges and gotten low scores, she tallied them up and put his name at the top of the charts.

the head judge called out the awards and i pointed out that the math was done wrong, this kid hadn't even actually placed in the top three. the woman immediately freaked out saying it would be heartless to take the trophy from him since he'd been awarded it, and demanded that both kids get to keep the first place trophy. the judge didn't realize what she'd done and agreed with her.

i wanted to punch that ***** in the face.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
