First of all, he is a PROFESSIONAL NFL player that was talking to his boss, the GM of the team. Did he own up to it? Yeah, but how about you quit all the cussing when conducting a professional-business meeting? I dont blame him for being mad but handle it better. When Bob broke the news in the qb meeting, he asked him to be professional, and he agreed he would. If you dont see anything wrong with all of his actions after the decision, frankly you dont deserve to be in a workplace environment.
Wilfork in the overalls. BOB's reaction to them. EZ afraid of the fish. BOB flipping off James. BOB interacting with the players on cut day (where's Rick Smith?). I love this team. Can't believe it's almost over. Can we do this every year?
Lol. Professional in the NFL is not everyday professional. If you think what you're saying is true, you need to reevaluate your thoughts. Just saying. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Rick Smith loved it. He's trying to be one of the guys. If you think everyday professional is the way to go, why is the GM giving players bro handshakes?
No doubt they're not. But... If you get called in for a meeting that hinders on your workplace behavior, whatever the profession, how about acting professional about it and not like a child with all the cussing?
He gave good answers iny opinion. Firm in his guarantee it wouldn't happen again. Nothing wrong with it.

I agree with the ownership of his behavior and like I said he owned up to it in the previous post. I guess its all the cussing when talking to not your middle manager but your supervising manager that gets me.
Hey donkeypunch I'm not sure where you work but I'm in a Corporate environment here in Downtown and although it's very professional we curse our ass off and it's all good. People aren't as uptight as you may think. 2ndly if you have never made a mistake in your entire career at a job such as being late, oversleeping, leaving early, taking a longer lunch, saying something inappropriate, not being politically correct at times, dozing off at a meeting, overdressing / underdressing for the workplace / environment, or etc then I'd say it's fair to make the comments you're making about Mallet. And of course the typical response is I don't get paid millions to play football to which I say it's not his fault he negotiated the salary that he does just as it isn't you for yours. Leave it be he made a mistake. It has not been his body of work as a professional. He's a 3rd rounder who didn't see the field because he played behind a potentially GOAT QB. He never got cut or lost his spot as #2 when he claimed it. And then finally when he was in the last year of his deal and they realized Brady wasn't going anywhere they attempted to get compensation for him as they seeked out his replacement in the Draft. He may have legitimately lost this QB competition with Hoyer but he's still deserving of his spot in the league and has shown more than enough that he can be consummate professional.
Loved this episode, despite the all the depressing cuts. Loved that they showed DQ. Loved it even more that he was trying to say he wanted to play this year, which everyone knows is a stretch considering what he has to get back to. Love that fight in him and him being 100% healthy next year is going to be great for him and great for his team. Like to see if he can transition to guard. OB being what everyone hoped he would be. Great coach, even better guy. Loved how he was straight forward with the cuts, giving criticism but not destroying a guys dream. Offering Labhart a recommendation for coaching if that was the road he chose was awesome. Just love how when it's down to business, it's down to ****in business for him, and when it's time to cut lose a little, he's down for it. Loved his reaction to Wilfork and flipping off James. This episode further cements my love for Charles James, not only as a backend rotation corner and ST, but as an awesome dude. Dudes infectious. Wilfork had my crying with how hard I laughed at those overalls. Liked that Mallet owned up to his **** up, didn't like his demeanor however. I don't know if it's his intelligence, or he just doesn't give a ****. Comes across a tad man childish. I kind of get why OB went with Hoyer more. Also heard the rumors after him missing practice that he doesn't keep any type of routine during the season. Seems a bit strange if you're wanting to maintain a level of play and/or develop further. Hell, Savage talked about how he didn't have a routine until a certain point last season and then realized how starting one has helped him come a long. Overall, great episode.
So this trade with Denver fell through, right? Were we looking to acquire the linebacker or was it the Broncos?
It went through. They got Chris Clark for a 7th round pick. Rick was hesitant to give up a [7th round] draft pick for a guy going into the last year of his deal. Rick asked Elway if he wanted/needed an inside linebacker. Elway said no, he's looking to deal some away himself. Rick finished the deal in the back of the Superdome during the game (or maybe it was [near] end of the game).
