I'm just basing my opinion of Easterby on articles written about him before the Texans were kicked in the nuts & everybody started piling on.
I don't know Easterby from Adam. But the "power" being attributed to him just sounds crazy. & when they throw the Hopkins trade in Easterby's wheelhouse I know they're talking out their butts because I know how that went down.
I'd never heard of the dude before the Patriots/Caserio tampering situation. He's just another member of a support staff for a football team before that point, so why would anyone even mention the guy?
I'm still skeptical about how the Nuk deal went down. I've heard several unsubstantiated versions, so I'll take them all with a grain of salt until I see trustworthy, verified sources. I do have little doubt that it is about something off the field, though.
I think you're connecting dots that aren't related. How many NFL camp counselors don't have agents?
According to the media, only Jack Easterby has the need for one.
btw, I did not connect any dots. I'm just a lowly fan commenting on the dots already connected by various reporters and media sources.
This is just the media game throw out a bunch of crap because a lady they like got fired and they do this without revealing one source. In any business you will have disgruntled former employees that will talk badly about your business. That's most likely one of the reasons why the employee was let go to begin with.
ahhhh, back to the vast left wing conspiracy without a single shred of evidence. It makes absolutely no sense because there is no motive for such a vast conspiracy involving multiple media sources and reporters.
So you didnt read the article I posted at the bottom of the post?
Also you want to talk baseless statements and how you don't want them then turn right around and say I'm an Easterby defender. So baseless comments like that are ok but me saying its been overblown isn't.
As for why they would "risk a deflamation lawsuit" I know you're not that naive. Easterby is considered a public figure so the press can say anything they want just like we on here do. Declamation lawsuits are incredibly hard to win because you have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that what was said is wrong AND that it caused you harm in some way. If you manage to do that you still have freedom of the press to deal with. You want to see how hard deflammation is to prove go look up the Duke lacross players and their failed attempts and they were accused of rape.
Also you yourself make baseless accusations by saying having an agent he wants to be in the front office. So that baseless accusation is fine because.....?
But for the sake of argument lets say you're right and he does want to work in the front office. So what? Most the people in the NFL want to work in the front office at some point and most people in companies want to get promoted so you are condemning him wanting what almost evryone wants?
You made a statement -
"This Easterby thing is so blown out of proportion it’s not even funny" - that you appear unable (or unwilling) to substantiate it with any sort of evidence.
Please accept my apologies for expecting you to actually back up your position with any supporting evidence. And please refrain from getting emotional about it. When you defend someone, you become a defender. That's how adjectives work. It was not meant to be an insult, so please don't take it that way.
btw, I'm not making a "baseless accusations". These are the facts as reported by media sources. See how that works? I'm just looking for actual evidence to the contrary, which appears nearly impossible to provide (I have looked beyond this forum, as well).
As far as "so what" about Easterby wanting to be an NFN executive; I think you just completely missed the overall point. The REASON why this is even a story is because he is UNQUALIFIED for the positions and lied about his experiences on his resume.
