If Gruden was fine with whatever was occurring, Mayock should have stayed out of it. He's not the coach. I can almost guarantee you Gruden had a plan for how to treat Brown. What do you think would happen if Loomis came onto the practice field and started policing players behaviors during practice. Payton would be pissed. The practice field is not the GMs domain.

These things are so difficult to understand much less sort out. The only thing we truly know is that we have been told things by the media or people in front of microphones. The surface on all sides is a facade.

If you and I have a beef with our employer its us, a manager, maybe HR... A beef with your employer in the NFL is a player, agent, NFLPA, Owner, GM, coach, the League... Some things are said in public, some things are said because the person is in public, and some things are behind closed doors.

To pick a side in this is really a fools errand, no?

All we really know is that a player found himself sideways with the league over a helmet and that's not a smart move. Just a soon not deal with someone that wins that sort of stupid prize.
