Jack Easterby is gone!

I think you are right, but I also think that folks that fall into that category flock to people like Stroud because it makes them appear to be more righteous and it builds on the persona that they are trying to show the world.
People were saying the same thing about Derrick at this point in his career. Hopefully Stroud's different. Hanging out with the Kardashian's is worrisome to me.

Does he actually hang with them or is it more of a famous people at certain events get grouped together type scenario?

I know he's spoken about meeting with them from a business perspective which I guess is fine even though I think they're morally bankrupt.

No one knows that. Which is why it's so ridiculous to even speculate. It's stupid crap like this that gets this forum off the rails.

If he wasn't hanging out with them it wouldn't be a topic of discussion. Of course if Derrick wasn't such a POS it probably wouldn't be a topic of discussion either.

Either way Stroud's probably the 1st religious person the Kardashian's have hungout with in their lives. Maybe he was bearing witness to them. LOL
 
It's not a topic of discussion. It's off topic gossip in an old Easterby thread.
Other posters seem to be commenting on this. In fact I was just responding to another post. Another case of something that you dont like that is a fact, but you're trying to shutdown the discussion. What thread would you like to put this in?
 
Not blaming it all on you. But you do tend to start it, as you did in this thread.

It was @steelbtexans that started this?

It wasn’t @battleredbud who brought this thread back to life and commented on religion which you replied to.

It wasn’t @badboy bringing up the Astros. Which you replied to.

It wasn’t @Sweech replying to @battleredbud about devout people.

It wasn’t @battleredbud replying to @Sweech who replied to @battleredbud

No. It was @steelbtexan who replied to @battleredbud who replied to @Sweech who replied to @battleredbud ‘s original bump.

Yeah. It was @steelbtexan. He started it. But at least he isn’t fully to blame.

Did I do something wrong besides facilitate discussion?
 
Ever since this charlatan left the building, its been arrow up - as many of us predicted. My lingering worry was that Cal still owned the team…but to his credit, he listened to his wife. And now 3 years later, this team is a legit contender.
 
He's telling the truth.

He was made the scapegoat during the dark times down on Kirby.
He is a legitimate villain... He did a lot of damage to the Texans and his motivations were suspect. That being said, most of the 8 billion people on the planet are going to severely screw up a job they are hired to do when they lack the knowledge, experience, skills to do it. (I make similar points regarding our currently political environment- sure, our government is a disaster but the voters are primarily responsible- can't just blame the elected officials).

He's telling "his truth".

So you honestly don't think the guy deserved to be **** canned? He was a camp councilor (wasn't even good at that) and reached levels in this organization he wasn't remotely qualified for. I've seen plenty of incompetent people here.. Culley and Casserly just to name a few.. he by far, leaps and bounds, head and shoulders took the cake. Good riddance and we should all just be glad that chapter is closed. Moving onwards and upwards.

He only got kicked up to his position because 1. Cal trusted Easterby and 2. When he fired BOB he decided to move Easterby up to GM. (Although Easterby never ran a draft.)

Still doesn't change anything I said.. He was completely unqualified, in over his head, and deserved to be fired. Cal was a idiot for doing the things you mentioned, but He was also going through a lot during that time.. which I think Easterby himself took advantage of.. luckily for Cal and us, he has a strong and smart woman by his side.

I'm a Christian, not the lovey dovey kumbaya church camp type though. There's those that put on a facade and will use the word to take advantage of others during their darkest hours for their own personal gain.. Easterby always came off as a slithering snake in the grass to me. He was fake as all get out

If Call didn't have to fire BOB then Easterby wouldn't have moved up the food chain. I'm just glad Easterby helped bring Caserio to Kirby and the dark times have passed.

The government is a disaster to about half the nation while the other half of the nation sees things differently. Easterby is no comparison. More than half of us felt Esterby was a bad fit for his job. The hate that the haters of the orange one and MAGA feel is much more visceral than what they felt for Easterby. That said the orange one has more supporters and passionate ones at that. Based on your comment I know where you stand. I would rather not know where people on here stand politically. Trump has caused me to lose family and friends.
