    The receiver did not outright say that the reported drama of the ordeal did not take place, but he certainly did not see it.

    “Again, there’s a lot of different points of view, right?” Thielen said. “Some guys maybe stayed after, I’m not sure. But I didn’t necessarily see a lot of (crying).

    “It is interesting nowadays, you don’t know what to believe.”

    I am sure there were a variety of reactions. A lot suprised, many sad, some didnt care and a few were glad.

    You cant expect someone like Thielen who was there for only a couple of months to get choked up about it.

    Yeah but this isn’t about whether or not Thielen got choked up about it. He never said one way or another whether he did or didn’t. He was in the locker room. This is about him saying that he didn’t see anyone else crying despite the media portraying this alternate reality.

    Why would the media have to embellish how the team felt about the departure of a “first ballot HOF coach, who never had a losing season, and who would have been scooped up in a second by many teams” had he chosen not to walk away?

    Board management,

    If someone (who was present in the locker room) disputes the media’s version of events regarding Tomlin’s departure, is that the same as an inarticulate and rogue member of a forum committing libel and defamation against another member on a public forum?

    Can someone link me to the forum rules? I’m just curious if name-calling against another member is a violation?

    Thanks in advance.
