No but game totally lost but somehow blocking a field goal and returning it for a TD? Like GTFO

agreed. Just pointing out that the score shouldn’t even have been a FG difference for that FG to have even be attempted.

If we could run the play as effectively as the Eagles, these Turd Ferguson dump offs would be an effective drive-sustaining play

He wont be there much longer.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

He is high as shit

[Cujo]

What is this? Peewee league? He had every right to be pissed.

 

[Texas Ace]

Imagine if he did that shit to a Michael Irvin?

Or imagine if it had it had been a player who did that to him?

I'm not a fan of the soft society we live in now and I'm all for coaches being hard-nosed and cursing like a sailor, but he was out of line there.

That's why his own assistant came and grabbed up because he knew he was wrong.

I wouldn't have had any problem if that kid had reacted to that and struck him.

 

[Texas Ace]

Yeah, pissed and yelling at him is fine.

Striking him in the chest, even with the pads on, is wrong.

He lost complete control.

Parcells might call you every name in the book but did you ever see Parcells strike a player like that?

What about Jimmy Johnson?

It was wrong. Period.

Agreed. I've never heard of the guy. I would have went the Jimmy route and cut his ass the next day. If it was an away game, he wouldn't have been on the flight.

It might have looked bad aesthetically, but hitting him in the chest, obliquely, where he’s padded doesn’t move the needle for me. In 6th grade, I had a coach grab me by the facemask and almost throw me to the ground for being offsides.

I miss the days where coaches could push players around and smack them on the helmet.

Yeah, and I went through the same shit as a 7th grader in 1992.

Like when we'd fuck up a drill under the blazing Texas sun which meant we weren't allowed to take a water break, which is beyond idiotic as it put us in real danger. And yet like smacking a kid in the head or cursing him out while grabbing his facemask, that was acceptable for coaches to do back then too.

But don't you think that's a pretty stupid thing to do and something that needed to change?

That shit was NEVER cool to do and it killed a lot of kids in Texas jr. high and high school football over the years which is why they can't do that anymore and why water breaks and cool-off periods are mandatory now.

And you know what I call a coach that is a grown ass man that does that to a 12 year old?

A fucking loser.

And while I don't think this coach needed to be worried about hurting a professional athlete's feelings, I do think he went too far.

Again, I grew up in the same sort of culture and society that all you guys did and I'm in agreement that today's younger generations are way too fucking soft and sensitive.

But that doesn't mean EVERYTHING we experienced or saw or were exposed to growing up was ok or acceptable and didn't need to change.

I never thought no water breaks was ok, I’m just saying I saw it so often as a kid, it just never seemed like a big deal. But we played hard for him. He won city multiple times over about a decade and he was respected.
To be honest, if I saw a coach do it to my son when he was 12, I’d have a problem with it. I respect your opinion.

I totally get it, but that's kinda my point..... So much of what we were subjected to was deemed ok because it was so common.

And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of stuff that we had to go through as kids that these younger generations sure could use today to toughen them up and stop so many of them from feeling so entitled.

I think this country is gonna be in real trouble when these snowflakes are running the country 20-30 years from now.

But there were also things that were acceptable back then that really shouldn't have been, but we just didn't know better at the time.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I just saw the video, and unless there's a different angle that shows more, I don't see what the big deal is. Looked like he slapped him on the chest plate of his pads. It's not like he slugged him in the stomach where the player had no protection. No way that was worth 100k.

Weird how Jerry got fined more for a non-violent act.

Owners are held to a higher standard, and the money is a much smaller percentage of their earnings.

And owners that fight Commandant Goodell are held at even higher standing

 

[Genghis Khan]

Very true and along those lines, the only bigger owner fines that I can find (granted I may be missing something) are:

Dan Snyder was fined upwards of $60 million for sexual harassment in the workplace and evading league taxes

Eddie Debartolo was fined $1 million for gambling and bribery related offenses

David Tepper was fined $300K for throwing a drink on a fan.

Jerry's gesture seems mild compared to those.
