Haskins criticized for being lazy

I doesn't really matter to me if she is a Browns fan or not. If she is a Browns fan, that doesn't take away her capability to cover other teams. I would imagine all broadcasters have a team they are a fan of, or in most cases played for. I'm sure Romo pulls for the Cowboys in his spare time, but that doesn't mean he can't call a good Chiefs game.

As for the lying thing. I honestly do not remember the circumstances of that. So it is hard for me to judge her. If she made up a story about AB and had to take it back, I can see why you guys do not trust her.

 

i said nothing about a team paying him millions. In fact i mentioned the vet minimum for a reason. Work for 10 years at 650k per year you’ve made millions. It’s by far his best option and should be more than enough motivation. I’m not speculating about anything. Never mentioned the money he made in Washington. Or if he has any left. It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

 

That doesn't say millions and mountains of incentive? Guess I was confused. Quick question if he stays on the roster until the NFL year ends doing the bare minimum does he still get paid? If so what possible incentive would make him work his ass off?

 

Not to be a smart*ss, but you may be making a stronger point than you think. First, the vet minimum isn't a single amount; it relies upon your experience. For 2021, those with at least one year of experience (hence a veteran) make at least $780k. Haskins has two years, so his minimum is $850k. In 2030, if still on minimum he'll be making $1.48MM.

Second, and more important for the grocery purists of the board, where do you shop that still employs baggers? Hell, you're lucky to still find cashiers at the Walmarts of the world, where they've taken to scads of self-checkouts monitored by a single associate for ID checks/price discrepancies.

Baggers would be retail's version of the fullback position in the NFL. Might bump into one here and there, but even then they're likely employed more for another task.

 

Just read an article where a coach made the lazy comment to her.

Hey coach! Get in his face!

 

Is this 7-11 speak for happy ending?

I dunno. If some here find out they can get more than lottery tickets at 7-11 they may want to Google their closest location.

 

I think it would come down to is she lobbing soft pitches for the coaches and teams she covers because they are nice to her and then with Tomlin it is a series of gotcha questions that are meant to aggravate him. That kinda smacks of being unprofessional.

 

My phone didn't like the word scratchers lol. Oh well such is life.

 

Why would a steelers coach tell her that, knowing she would report it??...NVM i havnt seen anything from this coaching staff that makes sense

 

Got baggers at the CVs in My town....they also try 2 take it 2 Your vehicle, but I always say No. LoL

 

I’m all about context but in a situation that he’s in, trying to save his career, possibly having to come in for the first time, checking your phone and half assed warmups tells me all I need to know.

 

Not meaning to change the subject, but “Mason Rudolph has had 4 years to show who he is.” Fours years for that performance against the Lions?

 

He was known coming out of college as not being very smart, hardly prepared and didn't study much. He simply relied on his talent alone. Steelers should have always steered clear of this guy but they got him on the cheap. Low risk, High reward bet that probably won't pan out.

 

I always thought as Him as a One read Guy, but never gave Him much thought because I knew We weren't going 2 draft Him. LoL. Yet Here He is.

 

That shouldn't surprise it was much the same with LJ as well. Perform just well enough that you are a solid backup option if they don't need you to win a game on your arm.

 

This whole thing reminds very much of the Alabama effect. Is the player really good or is it the situation they are in? For every Derrick Henry and Najee Harris there are RB'S from Alabama who fizzled. I can't picture the name of the one that the Browns trade some serious draft capital for. I think from Washington too. Anyway I view Ohio State much the same way. The way the recruit you can't swing a dead cat and not hit a freshman who is going to be the next huge thing.

 

It’s just sad. I never had doubts that Batch, Leftwich or even Gradowski can come in and win if needed. Now? Our backup QB gets praises for participating

 

Trent Richardson. Browns moved up one spot (1.3 from 1.4), and gave up their 4th, 5th, and 7th that year to the Vikes to do it.

 

I think the pro game is progressing more and more towards the wasted roster spot thinking for backup QB'S. If you dump one on the PS you can add two extra players potentially. It's flawed but what teams are moving towards.

 

Ground breaking content.

 

Other people understand that all reporters have screwed up at some point in their careers. It ain't about trust.

 

She didn't make up a story. She screwed up and some folks here tend to misrepresent that.

 

There's plenty of reasons why a coach might knowingly do that. Pick one. a) They've told Haskins things and he hasn't listened, so you want to make it public to wake his azz up. b) This coach's opinion isn't being heard by the rest of the staff and he wants to get it out there. c) the staff wants it known so when they cut him the pubic supports it.

The fact that Adiiti didn't name the coach tells me the coach not only knew she was there, but probably told her not to identify him.

 

There are a number of reasons that players check their phones during pregame warmups. Haskins isn't the only football player to check his phone lol. I'm sure other players did that day and other players did at other games.

The throws concern me and I would've liked more information about that. He's had footwork issues for a long time and if it's not improving the neither are his throws.

 

The phone thing alone doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but the report is that the coaches see it as part of a larger issue.

After all of the attacks on Kinkhabwala that stemmed from her report on Melvin Ingram, it turns out she was right that he wanted out.

Does this report about Haskins really seem that surprising given the player's history? No, it doesn't, but we've got people here who have issues with the media in general and this reporter in particular.
