Derek Carr — “If we just started opening up everybody’s private emails and texts, people would start sweating a little bit. … Hopefully not too many. But maybe that’s what they should do for all coaches and GMs and owners from now on, is open up. You’ve got to open up everything. See what happens.”

That’s called your phone.
The vaccine is simply a gateway drug for the so-called elites to put the pedal to the metal toward full blown tyranny.
That’s why there has been simply no let up on it.
I was stupid enough back in January to think this was all just going to fade away over time.
You’re post #31 and finally Derek Carr is shown in the proper light. He was totally irony-factoring the whole issue. And he’s right.
Not one person alive could stand that kind of scrutiny. But Carr’s implication is that, if it’s fair to do it to one guy, it’s only right to do it to all. Plain as day.
Exception: none of us could survive the kind of financial and other kinds of microscopic examination our Prez DJT was subjected to — except Trump himself. They tried SO HARD to find anything actionable on him, and failed.
I agree with Carr.
Beyond stupid.
I can remember when in 2003, a political news analyst was hired to give essay style comments about the NFL on a live show by ESPN. His very first effort, while he was not allowed to join the other sports analysts and was set at a separate table, was that he felt the NFL in their efforts to sell a diversity in the league by propping up a black quarterback who in that year had a 57.5 completion percentage and a 79.6 rating. Yet they were blowing the media out of the park with his unique talents and great successes. The team in that year finished with a losing record. So they hired the political analyst to do exactly what he did, and before they fired him he bowed out covering up for ESPN’s biased failure. The political analyst was Rush Limbaugh.
Sports doesn’t want the people to understand sports. They want them to understand the agenda they provide. And if they decide the provision is not what they want, they change it to something else and cover up their stupidity. So in reality, they were playing in Limbaugh’s game, not their own. But you’ll never hear that from them. And hey will make every effort to protect themselves and try to get that agenda actoss...no matter who it hurts.

It is a message board, and yes, the government can and does look at it. However, I don’t have friends or followers on here per se, like you might with Facebook, Twitter, etc.
I think you and a few others here missed his point. He is saying that everybody, including the people who threw Chucky under the bus, has some skeletal past that they just assume keep in the closet. "He that is without sin among you..."?
You’re here...
I think a lot of people are misinterpreting Derek’s point. He’s supporting Gruden and pointing out that the people most after his head would also have plenty to hide. You could look at 10 years of ANYONE’s e-mails or comments and find something that would send the left into the vapors.
“I don’t know Derek Carr, but he may be trying to make the opposite point of what people are interpreting. He may be saying that most folks have skeletons in their closet — especially the holier-than-thou woke crowd and corporations who canceled Gruden — so why don’t they open up so we can take a look at their emails as well.
Again, don’t know what he’s actually thinking — and I could be WAY off base here — but that’s the impression I get.”
That’s how I read what he said, as well.
We watch a certain sports talk show on cable and one of the hosts has inside contacts in most of the teams and the NYC HQ. He said that people are sweating bullets in most of these places and are trying to delete as much of their emails as possible..............................
FOOTBALL is a BUSINESS not a SPORT.................
Ok, you go first Derek and see what happens...
Absolutely...a lot of people are missing his point. He is supporting Gruden here.
“I don’t know Derek Carr, but he may be trying to make the opposite point of what people are interpreting.”
I agree. I think he is saying it wasn’t fair to just make Jon’s emails public. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Everything was ‘open’ except for the leader (Tom Hanks in that movie)
Read my 48. It’s a little different in that we don’t have followers and connections like you would on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
