There was a NOPD officer that got drunk and hit another vehicle on the CCC 20-something years back, killing the other driver...I knew the officer through a mutual friend. He struck me as a good guy that effed up royally. It's no excuse for what he did, but I don't believe he was charged or convicted of DWI prior to that. The fact that this Officer has a prior history, and command brushed it off...WOW. As has already been said, well, it's NOLA.

because he waves a Trump flag and wears a camo t-shirt like you

This is the statement that proves to me who he really is...can you feel the condescension?

I'm an armchair activist? OK, I'll play...you're sticking your head in the sand if you dismiss how this is perceived by 18 year old kids.

Dialogue. Great! Now discuss how "having to have a dialogue" with recruits and their families puts Gruden's recruiting effort behind other schools.

Look, I don't have anything against Gruden...but you and I don't get to just dismiss the 800 pound gorilla in the room. It's there, and it's real whether you and I like it or not. For that reason alone, "Thanks, Coach Gruden, for you're interest...but we're going in a different direction." You can beat your chest, or your dick, all you want about whether or not it's fair, right, or prudent...but you do have to acknowledge it. And if you're the LSU AD and say "We're going with Gruden", without addressing the issue, well, wow. Thank God you're not the AD.

ETA: I posted this in another thread...if that baggage isn't a big deal, why hasn't even lowly Division 27 Dildo Valley State hired him? WHY?

it's about the $$$ not what someone said in a text.

That was the entirety of my point...some things money can't buy. Do you not think other schools would use that to steer recruits away from whatever school he represents? And can you imagine if a black player actually signed with him? He'd be taken to the woodshed on social media. Unless LSU was offering double NIL money, which we know ain't gonna happen.

Even mentioning his name in a search would be an abysmal failure on any administration's part. It just is what it is.

C'mon, Man...

The entirety of all football, college and pro, hasn't hired him for what reason, then? No matter if the whole email scandal was true, false, exaggerated, whatever - Jon Gruden will NEVER be able to walk into another locker room again and have the team buy in. Suffice it to say, some shite you just don't recover from.

I mean, the fact that even Dildo Valley State hasn't called to gauge his interest should be a huge red flag, right?

RE the "symptoms" listed on the bottom of that flyer...ask anyone who lived in the Soviet Union in the 70's if they had any of those. Chances are they had the vast majority of them.

Why are progressives so effing obtuse?

CNN ought to call her Hasie Kunt.

If "everyone" does it, where did you stand on Trump's prosecution?

You can't hate these people enough.

To Swagga's point...my daughters were attendees and counselors at the day camp that he brought all the drama to. Between attending and counseling, they were there for probably close to 15 years, and that day camp was awesome. Great family that ran it, never had any sort of issue there...for him to bring that stupidity, with that much disregard for the chaos he caused, it still pisses me off to this day. I'll repeat...a good solid arse kicking would do him some good.

He’s genuinely delusional and has problems. He pissed off even his main clientele when he doxxed an entire summer camp because one of the classes was named after Indian tribes.

I thought this might be the same guy. Seems like he's overdue for a good arse kicking.

Good question. As a younger man, I was firmly in the camp of "I'll flip the switch!!!" I guess I'm just getting soft in my old(er) age. I'm not sure that killing someone does anything for me other than satisfying some primal urge for revenge. That, and I personally find it hard to truly forgive and then support the killing, it just doesn't line up for me. I do have to admit that I really don't fault anyone for supporting it, so I'm still working out some hardness in my heart on that end.

Or, to say it more succinctly: it's complicated.

ETA: to complicate my position even further, let's say someone is convicted and sentenced to life, not the death penalty...and tries to escape prison. I say drill that bitch between the eyes with a .454 Casull round.
