PM one that's a little more personal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince78 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think people read into the demeanor of the staff whatever they want to read. Smith and the staff are not at all scared by the loss of Grimes. They are reacting to the fact that this man's career is more than likely over with and Grimes was a member of this team and someone they care about. If idiots want to read into that they think the season is over with, well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 There's been plenty of reactionary garbage on all sides of the Grimes injury.I find the "Oh no, the season is over! and the "Brent Grimes isn't that good anyway" equally silly.

Guest Gritz Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Quick story:I'm a freelance illustrator. Several years ago when I was first starting out I was hired to do some comps (magic marker layouts/illustrations that are supposed to look like the finished art) for a well known German photographer here in Atlanta...The client was Hanes T-shirts. In one of the ads I was supposed to show a black jazz musician in a club playing a sax wearing one of the Hanes t-shirts. There were about 10 people around the conference table. The photographer started making comments about how maybe I should have the musician with a chicken leg in one hand or a slice of watermelon. Worse "jokes" and slurs followed.I was stunned. I needed the work but I was pizzed that these total strangers felt comfortable enough in my presence to spout this garbage. I did the following:I reached for my wallet and said, "I guess no one here knew that I am married to a black woman, and we're expecting our first child."Dead silence. It was like Tony Siragusa just cut a broccoli fart. I let them twist for a few moments. The photographer started to stammer and stutter...."I'm sorry, I did not know." I told them I wasn't married to a black woman but that I didn't appreciate the conversation. I picked up my portfolio and started to leave. They apologized and told me that they still wanted me to do the job. I did the work but never heard from them again and could have cared less.
