jatchisv2 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 both leading sports talk radio stations in atlanta talked extensively about that last week. no talking during pre-game meals or on the plane flying to away games. even mortenson talked about it.late last week, though, it was reported that he was relaxing that rule some .....

killme Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 i think it's a good rule. they should be popping xanax, drinking scotch, and holding on to the armrests for dear life like the rest of us. or is that just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtybird3245 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 i don't like jim rome but he is right on this one.petrino may have been hot ###### at louisville, but nfl players are much harder to get respect from. even hall of fame coaches can get called out in the nfl (look at parcells in dallas).

Libid21 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 this is absurd... they're being treated like kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattywankenobi Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 still no link on this...hmmm. the only person that said this was a formerly disgruntled employee. nice source. petrino is probably a bit tight on what these players are used to but i am thinking that gravy embellished a good bit because he was sent packing even though he didn't want to be there and should have just left in the summer when obviously he made his decision.

anotherfalconsfan Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 this is my first time hearing of this...but um...they can't talk on the plane? and these are uhmmm..grown men? no, from the looks and sound of things many of them are cry babies that don't seem to care about giving their best effort on the field.they work for the coach, the coach doesn't work for the players. maybe once they start doing what they are paid to do, he'll start treating them like adults.

IonSen88 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 i don't really like this rule, but do they really have to? i'd much rather them put on headsets and watch the same garbage we watch every sunday. eventually they'll run out of scotch and the desire to talk.

Xnex Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 a rule like this, if it's true, is just unnecessary and counter productive not to mention wildly out of touch with reality. i'm all for law and order; coaches coach and players play etc.etc. but i cannot believe that this is true.

Carter Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 these guys are getting paid hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars a year... have all their medical expenses covered and can comfortably retire by the time they are 30.... and there's an outrage about them not being able to talk during meals? give me a break... it is so blatantly obvious that these grown men have been coddled like toddlers.

Carter Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 i highly doubt that it's true.even if it is... why do people care? how long does it take to eat... like 10-15 minutes, maybe 20 at the most if you're having a real nice dinner?i never talk on the plane anyways when i go on one, even if i go with friends or family... i don't see the big deal. don't they have a team jet with movies and everything fully equipped? what the **** are they going to talk about anyways?
