Two stories related to previous members of the Dolphins organization with ties to Texas A&M

http://espn.go.com/college-football...uspend-assistant-coaches-offensive-slide-show

Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin suspended offensive line coach Jim Turner and special teams coordinator/tight ends coach Jeff Banks for "degrading comments towards women" that were part of a slideshow that was shown to about 700 attendees in the program's annual "Chalk Talk for Women."

Turner was the Miami Dolphins' offensive line coach during the Jonathan Martin hazing scandal. He was fired by Miami in February 2014 for "poor judgment."

Former Texas A&M All-American linebacker Antonio Armstrong and his wife, Dawn, were shot and killed early Friday in their Houston home.
Police say a 16-year-old boy has been charged as a juvenile with murder in the slayings. The suspect's identity is being withheld because of his age.
....

Antonio Armstrong was a letterman who played for the Aggies from 1991 to '94, and in a statement Friday, Texas A&M described him as a cornerstone of the "Wrecking Crew" defense. He was named a semifinalist for the Butkus Award as a senior after leading the Southwestern Conference in quarterback sacks and tackles for loss, and was named a first-team Associated Press All-America linebacker in 1994.

Armstrong was selected in the sixth round of the 1995 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers. An ankle fracture in training camp led to his release that October. He then signed with the Miami Dolphins and played in four games that season, logging four solo tackles.
 
T&M incident, Jim Turner involved....

Turner was one of two Texas A&M assistant coaches suspended two weeks without payby head coach Kevin Sumlin Friday for a train wreck of a presentation at a women’s football clinic. Photos leaked to various media outlets showed a slide show with various “pass-blocking rules” that included such helpful tips as “spread your legs,” “enter-front/not-behind, “get erect,” “stay erect” and “bang him hard.”

Turner is a man born in the wrong era. You can't be this funny in an era where everyone gets offended by everything.
 
Posted this last night about the story. This is the billboard w/ advice to the females.

Teen charged with shooting mom, dad -- former Miami Dolphins player

HOUSTON - Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Antonio Armstrong and his wife were shot Friday.
Police were blaming their 16-year-old son for shooting them in their bedroom at their townhome in Houston's Bellaire area. Detectives found a note near the gun that said, "I've been watching you."

Armstrong suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Paramedics took him to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where according to relatives he remained in grave condition on Saturday morning.
 
We can agree to disagree.

If you're a male, that has a job, I'd be willing to bet you've made or laughed at an inappropriate joke.

Comparing a joke between friends within an office setting is in no way a good comparison to an assistant coach putting together such a stupidly offensive slideshow to present to 700 people at a "Chalk Talk for Women" event....the poor judgement shown by the coaches is absolutely mind-blowing. How could the school not take disciplinary action? A&M is gonna be the one catching any flack from this.

Glad I refreshed the page before posting. Well put.

Simple. Call it an attempt at teaching through humor.

Because everyone's gonna buy that . . .
