I think Aiyuk's brain is not working right. He's taken too many hits to the head and is now showing effects of CTE.

I think Antonio Brown has better odds of a team giving him a training camp invite than Aiyuk does being traded to another team with his pissing contest with the 49ers and his one-sided online spats with Daniels.
 
Now he's just getting fat & not so handsome...

Good Lawd!!!

HELMET !!!

 
Soliciting opinions on the Ryan Clark layoff/firing.

It seems both complicated and simple.
 
Hold up, got to make a power point about defensive driving….

This sounds like it was kept under wraps for a week and a half for a reason.

Dianna Russini would have had this scooped through (or under) inside sources in a half hour. Where was TMZ and Bleacher Report? They are the dumpster divers of sports news.
 
Tough break for a team that should be right there in the mix to "win" the NFC South (with a likely record of about 8-9).

Can you give anyone a reason why they shouldn't be indifferent?

I didn't know Ryan Clark even had a job, let alone that he was fired.

There are some people including those in the independent media who think the ousting was racially motivated, as does Ryan Clark. This is all news to me but I was listening to the Barber Shop and the opinion is not just G Bush's. I am trying to get a pulse on public opinion.

Why?

"I feel this is racially motivated" means nothing. You need to explain WHY you believe it was racially motivated.

Additionally there's been several articles within the last week that keeps saying there will be layoffs at ESPN coming up...

Suggesting he was fired is a heel move...

I am undecided on whether or not it is racially motivated, so I don't have to explain anything, but I will attempt. I was hoping someone else would do a better job but something like:
-Racially motivated: black former player said an executive had it out for him, and "they" (ESPN, presumably white old rich execs) don't want to see him shine. There was something that RC said about someone (he actually kept it very vague) and other people also said it about someone, and then the other people apologized, and he did not, because he didn't feel he did anything wrong. Some article at another publication brought this to the press. At some point he wrote an email, I believe to his employer, implying that he was racially targeted. I am unclear on whether or not that was aimed at the other media company or ESPN. He was technically not fired, it was a layoff, but all others laid off were announced on Tuesday, and his was on Friday, however he came out to the media post-employment, and said that he was fired. He was quite sad about it.

This is part of a larger thing including Cam Newton who was let go as well. Also mentioned was these morning show ESPN (Get Up maybe?) doing shoulder presses mocking Shedeur for not doing a lot of weight. The broader point is that former athletes are very good for shows, which I agree with, and since popular US sports are mostly black, you definitely need former black athletes for the sake of eyeballs.

So sometimes G Bush does this thing where he race baits, and other times he goes the opposite way. He's a proud black man, a man of g-d, and I love him for the totality of all his sides. So I thought it was race bait, but then they showed clips of this other podcast, people were pissed. Then Earl Da Pearl got on and agreed.

There's also a compelling case that his firing/layoff had nothing to do with race, including the fact that you didn't know RC had a job. Not only did he have a job, but he also is part of his own independent podcast.

So I was curious what the zeitgeist was.
