Is he now a former player?
Hell no, he'll probably earn a merit badge from his team. The award of Assholus Maximus. It is the NFL after all.
He’s pretty good, so I’ll say no.
Probably get special treatment due to a Athletic Privilege
Without the facts I will defend him. We’ve all been there, we’ve all been there.
TSA can’t take a joke.
Remember when *WE* were the free country???
Well this doesn’t suprise me one bit. The quality of the atheletes is really low whenit comes to social reality.
This is what happens when an under privileged black kid from the hood and give him a boatload of money. So many guys from professional basketball and football teams get into trouble and expect their name or their money will get them out of trouble. You don’t see hockey players getting into trouble like them.
I remember flying when it was fun. Now never again — unless I win the lotto and get some kind of VIP deal.
He’ll slide scott free. No harm, no foul. Preferential treatment? Probably.
IQ???
Blew up again ???
I have to say that I can understand how one could become belligerent with the TSA. They have greatly irritated me in the past.
I remember flying when there was no checks. If you were carrying a gun and it fell out of your coat, the very attractive stewardess would probably pick it up and hand it back to you with a smile.
same here, but unlike this clown, I know when not to say stupid sh*t like “bomb” to these overpaid and glorified mall guards..
All of a sudden getting traded to the Browns doesn’t look so bad eh, Jim Harbaugh?
Yes. I would not do what he did. I can sympathize with being frustrated by the TSA cretins.
