Baldwin "tough pill to swallow"

I've been quick to criticize Baldwin in the past but I don't see how this is a big deal. He obviously had a friendship with Unger and later welcomed Graham on board. I'm failing to see what the big deal is here.

Time to dump this knucklehead. Tweeting that after the trade is messed up. He then tried to backtrack and pretend it was about Max. Baldwin is a diva, but he isn't good.....thats a problem.

I think it is becoming clear that keeping Baldwin on this team is a risk. He is a very smart man, but does not seem to grasp that this is a business... a business for winning.

If Doug has such a problem with the business of football, I would like to invite him to join me in the business of banking and markets. If he thinks football is cutthroat, he should try global markets. Peanuts in compensation to that of minimum NFL salaries, regulated risk that may cause jail time, and if your approach is uncovered your best friend will short you out of the game in less than a day.

Grow up Doug. Your childish approach to the business of football is now officially "tired".

Did you read the entire tweet? How can you say Graham had anything to do with that particular tweet?


"This one is a hard pill to swallow. A great player, a great teammate and a great man. Thank you @maxunger60 for everything!"

Ok. I'll bite. What is a fair comp to the cut throat nature of football business? Is it teaching? Is it science? Is it geology? Is it politics (I think maybe yes)? is it civil service? Is it Insurance? Is it baseball?

My point is that Doug Baldwin bitches about football business as if it is unique to football. It is not unique. In 2008, traders in large investment firms were given an option: 1) Sell off worthless products for a good fee to known clients (claiming free markets) knowing full well you will never trade again. 2) Leave the company immediately, with no cash settlement, knowing you will never trade again.

FFS - Max Unger has been on this team since Baldwin first arrived.. Maybe, just maybe, that tweet was in reference to being upset at seeing a friend go.

Drew Brees was equally upset to see Graham leave. Guess that guy is a diva. The Saints better cut him!

This is a dumb thread.
