Do you really think Joe went out of his way to ignore Dame at the PF? The guy who was at every single predraft workout?
Need an overhaul. It's really interesting to read the league had to intervene between Dame and the GM.
It's a business and if the right move when looked at pragmatically was a youth rebuild the only thing they should have done was tell Dame and not pretend they were trying to thread some needle. Obviously if the Haynes shit is true then Cronin or ownership or whoever wanted Dame to ask out and were happy when he did. Not the way to do this on the up and up but this is high stakes business and people don't always take the high road.
I do think this could really motivate the league to put pressure on Jody to sell the Phil Knight. That's the only substantial outcome I could see coming from this and I think it's a slim chance that it happens.
Guys IMO this edict about coming back was not from Cronin, yes he "communicated it" but kolde/ownership laid this down and I'd bet on it
Dame omitted Cronin from his farewell letter but not Jody. Found that interesting.
OK when you continue down the road of the metaphor until it's becoming literal once again I have to question if you get it. This isn't a family it's a place of work. It was Dame's information to choose to share or not. These aren't Dame and Joe's or Vulcan's kids they are employees and consumers/fans. This is business so you should probably stop muddying that with the family analogy and continuing to bring kids from a broken home into this. This will not have lasting emotional trauma on anyone... not anywhere close to the level of your analogy and therefore if Dame is being a little irresponsible it's negligible and doesn't really matter whereas when a parent trashes the other parent in a divorce that damage is very very real.
this is a good point. but he was apparently still thinking he might end up in Miami. This was in the paragraph following the one that said he was told he could not come back.
And the guy sitting on the other side of Dame at predraft workouts. Let's not continue to forget him.
ooh great point. date coincides with the intervention
Fair enough, it definitely was a separation filled with acrimony. I'm interested to see how Joe responds, most likely he'll just choose not to or say something about how he could see how Dame would feel that way. High Road Joe. With that said what's done is done and I don't really give a fuck as long as Joe keeps doing as good of a job with the rebuild as he seems to be doing.
True.
i was only posting the video.
It was an answer to the tweet or x or whatever you call it now, you were the messenger that caught shrapnel, sorry about that
