Thank you, Astros fan, for calling out wrongdoing in professional sports.

Hey I think the Astros paid their $10k fine or whatever the punishment was.

Fuck the NCAA for only targeting non SEC teams. Bama has had them wrapped around their fingers for years.

You could have just said “fuck the NCAA,” they have a list of unethical bullshit they do to profit off an infrastructure they didn’t build.

They let Cam Newton and Tyrell Pryor play in the BCS championship and Sugarbowl games in the middle of their pay for play and jersey selling scandals.

Didn't Cam steal a laptop too?

Yeah, when he was at Florida, then he threw it out the window when he was about to get caught lol. He transferred right before they were gonna expel him I think.

Alabama received sanctions in 2009. Ole Miss in 2017. LSU is currently under sanctions as well as Alabama basketball.

The crazy part is if you were to rewind the clock back a couple years, most of our fan base would have been onboard with the idea of shitcanning Pete and keeping Russ

Russ was good at PR and Media spinning to keep fans on his side, until he wasn’t.

Also given his track record as a player, to fans, all signs pointed to coaching being the issue, until he was gone.

Lots of fans in the Seahawks sub have no issues admitting they were on the “fire Pete” train until this most recent season.

It was a very common thought.

Yeah I was definitely on that boat. It was easy to see all of the 3 and outs as a scheming issue holding russ back instead of Russell just not being smart with the ball

That’s not what he did to his players when stuff hit the fan at USC!

Players got screwed and he got a cushy high paying job with Seattle.

Oh you think he has a huge comeback career year in him? He’s just delaying and potential success for the broncos as long as he’s under center.. call me crazy but that contract is a huge liability.. I like the dude as a person, but I don’t believe he’s got much left

heresmyownthrowaway t1_janhyut wrote

That’s a valid opinion for you and I’m not saying it’s a guarantee he will turn it around but random fans of other teams on reddit don’t usually get to talk for me 😂

So you addressed yourself and every other Bronco fan? Weird way to go about it but by all means. I’m hung up on the way you brought it up but in reality I just don’t agree with you here. Cheers.

As a Bronco fan I was requesting a coaching change and got it. Part of the problem with the NFL [and particularly some Bronco fans] is that they want immediate success. An all or nothing approach will frequently leave us with nothing. We can't always get an Elway [who took a few years to blossom btw] or a Manning who was a good gamble. But often it takes a combination of the right coaches and the right players to make a spark. Sometimes it means patience. Let's see what this season brings.

"...in position for a second Super Bowl ring. Instead, I'll call a pass play instead of handing it off to my unstoppable juggernaut of a running back."

The worst part about that call is they were on the NE 1, and out of 24 rushes total, lynch only had TWO runs of 0 gain, one of which was the 2nd rush in the opening drive (never lost yardage). He gained at least 1 yard on 92% of his attempts to that point.

Saying that things come back around is wise and not something you know until you get bit several times in life

That’s nuts he’d ask for Carroll to be fired. Russ has not done anything since that defense diminished. And in Denver… ducking lol
