That sh1t goes on in here every day LOL

Michael Thomas and Malcolm Jenkins will never be able to do anything right again to a significant portion of this forum. If he sneezes it’ll be an act of aggression that should result in his immediate release.

No Rez MT went off (imo) when they told him he was sitting another week, is going to lite a fire under this team in one week bro, offense and defense is going to put us back in the talk where it started preseason. We are a legit SB contender M J is gonna get it rite. DA needs to get his sh&t together, Payton has to quit getting cute because he’s really an ugly little elf if u ask me. Lets keep it together. I need your insight on a question I left u in the free agency headline

back in the 70’s if there were a tip ball INT on the line of scrimmage we big goons had to holler Oscar, to turn into blocking I believe you played dB in your day. Did you have a code on a tip ball after a INT

Nonsense. We tend to hold team leaders accountable when they do stupid sh_t. We all love this team and expect somewhat professional behavior from them. At least somewhat cordial behavior.

Nonsense. Players are human, fallible, just like you and I. I’ve seen numerous fights and “in a leader’s” face incidents throughout my career in the Army, too numerous to count. This isn’t Library Sciences Management. These are jobs that require force of will upon another human being. I do NOT want my teammates to be “cordial” to one another, doubly so for the opposing team. I want them to challenge each other to the point of destroying another’s confidence. Physically..., Mentally..., and Emotionally. If they are not up to the challenge..., go play for the Cowboys.

No offense, but if you want to "fight", get in the ring. Outside of that particular sport where there are safeties in place to protect the athletes, and in any other place in life, balling up your fist and striking another human being is 110% wrong. It shows a lack of emotional control.

If you can't resolve your differences in a civil manner counseling is in order. Full stop. This wasn't even a game where emotion is high, and of course that isn't an excuse. This was clearly a personal issue between two men who let their testosterone get the best of their brains.

It's wrong. Full stop.

I'm not talking about the skirmishes in a locker room. I know all about that. I'm referring to clowns that can't solve their issues in the locker room and sell their teammates out through social media. Or whine and wax poetic on social media.

Have a look at it from this angle please and tell me if maybe we aren’t in the wrong by doing that.

We don’t make a player a captain, their peers do and they are accountable to their peers.

This is what happens to the player getting the C on their uniform... Hey iceshack149 we have voted you forum captain, we are going to put a C on your user name and we expect you to act in accordance with how we think a captain should act regardless of your nature. They/you didn’t ask for that.

On that same note, I would never expect Coleston to get in someone’s face when they needed their sh1t checked either.
