You figure players would have learned from the Watson debacle. “Learned” that by being a shitbag, you get a guaranteed large contract. I guess Tucker will get ridiculed for why he missed so many kicks this year, but with his talent I unfortunately think he won’t get in trouble for this.

It’s so easy to not be a douchebag.

The incidents mentioned in the article happened well before De Shaun Watson's escapades.  The individual massage therapists just didn't come forward until now.

Thank you, I just read the full article and didn’t realize it was when he started in the NFL. I assumed with all the jokes on social media it happened last year.

It doesn't matter that the Tucker's incidents preceded Watson's 2 dozen incidents.  More or less.

There's a good chance that the behavior here wasn't okay in 2011 or (soon) before that year.  Bottom line is that there's no excuse, period.

At this point I'm not inclined to give any professional athlete the benefit of the doubt. We will see what happens.

These are the reasons why I'd rather prefer to turn to family for a hero, idol, role model.  Of course I have a mirror, but no need to worship anybody else.  Really

“Bill Belichick demands Vince Lombardi Trophy is renamed to honor Tom Brady”

“Bill Belichick jokes Lombardi Trophy should be renamed after Tom Brady”

“Bill Belichick suggests Super Bowl trophy be named after Tom Brady”

Since Bill is hip to the youths of today and living it up, maybe he was just trolling?  He has to realize certain fans who are, shall we say, less than fond of Mr. Brady would have a conniption fit even though he has zero ability to enact such a change.
