Basically more crap on the Martin/Incog fall out and how Ross needs to step up and take control of the situation, especially now with Kevin O'Neill's lawyer spicing up the drama.
Same old crap, new angles etc....
Ross got rid of everyone involved that "knew" something was going on. Pouncey survived because he is an elite NFL Center, and skill out weights consequences.
can't give a Joe a pass on this one. He didn't follow up with Martin after getting him help. That was a clueless move!
Not sure what more people want? Short of firing Philbin who according to said report, did everything in his power to help Martin once he was aware of the situation.
I'm taking he wants Ross to come out and have some grandious press conference apologizing to the NFL, fans, and south florida community for the negative attention this situation has caused. How he is instituting a zero tolerance policy on bullying/hazing/racism from this day forward, etc etc...
Can't give Joe a pas on this one. He never followed up after getting Martin some help for suicudality and depression. That was a frikkin clueless move on Joe's part.
It's a very interesting observation. I've said it before, absentee ownership in the NFL doesn't work - to further compound the problem, our owner doesn't know the game - 'from what I can tell'.
From what I know about Mr. Ross - he doesn't have much, if any, history of being involved in this sport. So... is it a hobby, or is it a profit/revenue stream?
The simple fact that there's only 2 options in my question - and the hobby point is relation to the next point - the fact that I don't believe there's a third and most important option of all... is it his passion??? - to me at least - dictates that it is ultimately a profit/revenue source.
Some may add that it's a publicity ploy, but he doesn't appear to have the ego that other Real Estate moguls that have attempted to enter the Football arena, a la Donald Trump - so what is it... again... for me it's profit/revenue driven.
As a result of this and his mindblowingly stupid set up of everyone reporting in to him - even though from my standpoint that he doesn't understand the game... is simply asking for continued trouble.
I hope it's not... the 30 years of my fanatically following this team steers me in the direction of hope - but I fear it won't if things continue as they are.
Perhaps Mr. Hickey is the saviour in as far as bringing stability and credibility to this once proud organisation.... I for one hope it's someone, and soon!
