Pettis claimed by the Giants.Pettis is the kind of guy that BB should be looking at. 2nd round talent, which is very good. Injuries derailing his career, but if he can ever be healthy...reasonable chance he could give them something.

The issue internally is Jack Easterby putting his stamp on every aspect of the Texans rebuild. The "culture fit" could be that Easterby wants a management structure predicated on his professional and personal beliefs. He left the Patriots, in part, over the Kraft fiasco, and said this earlier about his philosophyJust because the reporters liked her doesn't mean there isn't an issue internally.
Ugh, sounds like someone pining for the "good old days". I don't like to generalize about people without meeting them/hearing about them, but his holier than thou "character counts" shtick rings a bit hollow when he bad mouths his employer, leaves, comes back for a ceremony, eats from the hand of the same employer he badmouthed and tampered with team employees while he was at the ceremony. Fuck Jack Easterby and his entire ilk.The issue internally is Jack Easterby putting his stamp on every aspect of the Texans rebuild.

"Character and the kind of people you hire is something that our country is in desperate need to get back to evaluating," Easterby told USA TODAY Sports in 2018. "Unfortunately, sometimes it matters most when we count it the least. And when we evaluate it the least, it matters most. It’s tough, but we have seen a lot of businesses and industries fall because of a lack of character.
"One of the things we’ve seen come up in our culture lately — from the (Harvey) Weinstein case and so many others — we’ve seen that choices matter."
I mean, maybe. But a guy shitting on Weinstein probably isn't pining for the "good old days" in the same way Weinstein is.Ugh, sounds like someone pining for the "good old days".

Is he shitting on Weinstein? To many people (too many people), "choices" in that context means HER choices. Like what she was wearing, or who she agreed to have a drink with."One of the things we’ve seen come up in our culture lately — from the (Harvey) Weinstein case and so many others — we’ve seen that choices matter."
There's nothing wrong with creating a management structure that aligns with your professional beliefs. In my experience, it's critical so long as you are still encouraging diversity of thought and ideas. You do not want an organization staffed with assholes.The issue internally is Jack Easterby putting his stamp on every aspect of the Texans rebuild.

I think it's abundantly clear that his comments are directed at Weinstein and his enablers, not at his victims.Is he shitting on Weinstein? To many people (too many people), "choices" in that context means HER choices. Like what she was wearing, or who she agreed to have a drink with.
It's anonymous sources reporting that she's no longer a "cultural fit." This isn't the Texans organization trashing her. We have no idea how she has behaved or the environment that she promotes. The media loves her, sure, but that doesn't mean she isn't a jerk.Easterby & Co are well within their rights to hire and fire as they chose. It's the attempt of trashing her with "cultural fit" as they shove her out the door that is astonishingly inept.

It's easy for me to understand someone being good at their job and caring a lot being fired. In my role, I've unfortunately had to fire one or two people like that. Phenomenal with customers. Extremely articulate. But they were jerks. Or weren't comfortable with the direction that the company was moving and voiced it improperly.J.J. Watt, who worked closely with Palcic, reacted on Wednesday to the firing.
“I think you can tell from the universal response from people in the business what type of person Amy is. … Just really good at her job. Cared a lot. … I think it’s a very difficult loss,” Watt told reporters on Wednesday afternoon.

It's the first time I've seen harvey weinstein's sexual predation described in terms of "choices." Otoh, the victims of sexual predation are often the ones accused of making bad choices."...It’s tough, but we have seen a lot of businesses and industries fall because of a lack of character.

He'd fit the cultureEasterby and Watson both have ties to Dabo. I wonder if they can get him to jump.
I don't think Dabo is going anywhere until he gets the call home to Tuscaloosa.Easterby and Watson both have ties to Dabo. I wonder if they can get him to jump.
Yes. He is.Is he shitting on Weinstein? To many people (too many people), "choices" in that context means HER choices. Like what she was wearing, or who she agreed to have a drink with.
Regardless, you don’t compare someone to Weinstein unless they’re a rapist. It’s like going to a gallery and saying that person is a shitty artist. Like Hitler.It's the first time I've seen harvey weinstein's sexual predation described in terms of "choices." Otoh, the victims of sexual predation are often the ones accused of making bad choices.
Maybe Easterby was just sloppy in his word choices.
Whose "choices" was Easterby referring to in that 2018 article, in talking about Weinstein?Yes. He is.
To think he isn't-PUBLICLY-is amazingly obtuse.
Fair enough. Maybe I was thinking too much about his actions companies he was in charge of -- not really hired. Ultimately (obviously?), I think Easterby is a snake. But he can hire and fire whoever he wants.Companies that hired (or whatever the correct term is in the movie industry) Weinstein and put him in situations that enabled him to wield his power. You’re making this more complicated that it is.
Until Mahomes passes him next seasonMultiple rib fractures and collapsed lung for Brees. Brady looks to be grabbing that TD record for good now.

There was a play yesterday where a Niners DL drove him into the ground, he grimaced, and immediately called out of the game.Holy crap that's scary stuff. I still haven't seen how it happened.
It wasn't a "Bledsoe" hit, it didn't seem. Looked like a "normal" sack (as normal as a 300 pound person tackling you to the ground can be).Holy crap that's scary stuff. I still haven't seen how it happened.
Here is the hit.There was a play yesterday where a Niners DL drove him into the ground, he grimaced, and immediately called out of the game.
Thanks, yeah, I think you’re right. Looks like he stayed in through the end of the half.Here is the hit.

I didn't watch the game, but I thought he finished up the first half? Then didn't come out after halftime.
