Do you honestly believe there wasn't some pot stirring going on by third party sources? Someone had to have brought the Brees comments to Jenkins' attention and you can bet the context in which it was presented was in hopes of that type of reaction from Jenkins. Do I think Jenkins went overboard? Yes. But I also believe there was instigation. It's the way "news" media works these days. They create stories. You cannot deny that. I try to avoid passing judgments on people based solely on what I am presented through that media.

Everything I have heard or read about Jenkins prior to this episode has shown a person of high character. But, once again, I have never met him myself so I withhold final judgment on that, as well.

That is an interesting theory...but still it's just a theory. The fact is that POS called Drew out in public rather than trying to find a resolution privately. I seriously doubt that Drew feels like they are friends no matter what he says in public. Drew is an honorable man while Jenkins is not.

Once again, what do any of us know about Jenkins' honor or what Drew feels about him. Both have said they are "lifetime friends" recently. We've discussed this before, how you, or anyone else, feels does not matter. If Drew and Jenkins have moved on then that is all that matters and both have said they have repeatedly. The fact is that they HAVE found a resolution privately, but you remain unsatisfied that their private resolution was not done publicly. Where's the logic in that, Rugs?

And it is more than just a theory on how Jenkins got word of what Brees said. It is today's media's modus operandi. It is how they operate. It happens time and time again. The interview that Brees did was so obscure and directed to a very narrow audience that Jenkins would have never come across it without someone else bringing it to his attention. Someone involved with the interview had to have seen the potential for controversy if they presented it in the right manner. They did just that and took it to someone they knew would react under those circumstances.

I get your point Guido. However, that man would never be my friend. I've had disputes with team mates that got ugly. One in particular comes to mind. We never got along but I did not allow it to split my team even though he was an instigator who seriously tried to divide the team I backed him up on the field and was polite in public. But that was it. We'll never be friends.

And I'll never like Jenkins. I didn't like him here the first time around and I like him even less the second time around. Jenkins had damn well better ball out in a major way or I'll spit every time his name is mentioned.

Basically, I never really respected him and I lost any respect that I did have built up for him while he was with the Eagles.

I totally agree. And I knew when we resigned that clown he was going to be a divisive ****head.

But, has he been divisive in the long run? Can you share access to that crystal ball? Every indication by those not prejudiced against him believe what both he and Brees say. I understand your displeasure with social justice. I take that back. I understand you experience a displeasure with it, but do not understand it.

I also understand that with some "his type" can become very irritating when they get "uppity".
