We are really going to argue over which 5th string WR we should have kept? ok...

It was brought up in the article so that's why I mentioned it. Things like that probably go on in every organization, but SM was suppose to have control over the roster. If he wanted to move on from Grant and was overruled then that's probably one many reasons he walked out..

It's reporters culling sources and making an article out of it. We don't, and may never, know the full story, but to assume only wrong on one side, ie "drinking was never an issue", seems to imply a bias in the reporting to me. An alcoholic, just like any other addict will have days and weeks where his/her addiction overrides his/her ability to function at work.

Journalist who wrote it is a stand up, guy in the know. I didn't read it as speculative at all. Seems well sourced with clear events and examples of a power struggle between Bruce and McC.

The drinking issue is mention and vetted in the article. If there was more of a story there, we should have heard of this from other sources.

But other sources have clearly speculated on dysfunction within the org and NOT a drinking problem.

McC was not destined to prevail in a contest between him and BA. Allen is the proxy for DS in all things, and in that sense, a necessary evil. We're better off these days not having Dan going on man-dates with players he has a crush on. Yet Dan's desires have to be channeled through someone, and Allen plays that role pretty well; I only half hate him.

So with Jay's stock rising and inevitable style/ego clashes between McC and BA (in part, channeling Snyder), McC clearly is the odd man out.

The best we can hope for is that (1) BA continues to acknowledge that he needs help with talent evaluation, and (2) Cousins gets signed. If those things don't happen, then you can throw a match into the dumpster.

And I thought Patriots fans were idiots when they tried to raise money to pay Brady's fine...

So inspite of Allen saying McLoughan had final say on roster, he never did it. Bruce Allen and whoever enables him is just lying to us all.

C'mon guys, no one really knows if he was drinking. Could be he went on a Twinkie binge and then overdid it in the steam room

Does being an alcoholic make your face purple? I get drunk probably too often, never looked like a human plum before.

it most certainly does . . . Source:

Glad we've moved to pictures in judging who is and who isnt an alcoholic. The scientific way

A picture's worth a thousand words isn't it? Lol. I had no clue about that before. Guess I'm doing okay, I think my face is still normal.
