Le sigh....If you have not heard/seen it yet you're in for a treat. D.J. Williams LB for the Denver Broncos a couple of days ago decided while on Twitter he should post six defensive plays in the Bronco's playbook. While going through this process there wasn't a time where he thought it was a bad idea apparently...Needless to say those pictures are 'gone' (not really, once it's on the internet it is in permanent ink) at the "request" of the Broncos...Wonder what the phone call must've been like...I have a good idea, but I can't say it on the forum or else I'd be in trouble..

All I could do when I first saw this and figured out it wasn't a joke.

It was only one play, and I think it was more to show off the ipad technology. It sure beats the Chris Cooley playbook incident. Well, from my perspective it was better though I'm sure some enjoyed Cooley's more.

Technically, it was only one play and it was just showing how the defense will adjust based on what formation the offense comes out in. But still, what are you thinking when you do something like this? Are you even thinking?

If it was me, I'd be far less tolerant. Drinking and driving is incredibly stupid and selfish and I can't think of any good reason for it. I would have absolutely no trouble suspending a player for an entire season without pay if he did that

I agree but it is easy for me to say that, I have lost several close friends to drunk drivers and I do not drink nor did they.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. That's exactly why I say it's a selfish act. You not only put your own life at risk, but the lives of innocent people as well.

In terms of DJ Williams, I wouldn't care as commish. If he wants to spill his entire playbook, that's his choice and his team/coaches will deal with it.

Drinking and Driving is a subject that should never be broached by someone with the resources to call a cab, wrecker, car service or what have you.

It's a stupid decision for anyone, but it's more insane for those with the resources to not miss the couple of hundred bucks it would cost to avoid it. Yeah a couple of hundred bucks is on the high end, but I'm looking at it from a worst case scenario.

I have never understood how these guys get busted for DUI or DWI all the time. I am completely fine with them going out and have a great time and drinking all they want, but what I do not get is how they just do not tell one of their boys they are DD or just call a cab. I remember when my friends and I turned 21 we did the typical bar scene, but none of us ever drove drunk or anything.

It is just crazy how they cannot wrap their heads around being responsible before they drink.

I agree.. Having a good time is one thing. Everyone deserves to be able to do that. Years ago(not saying it could be done today), but years ago a group of friends and I were out celebrating someone's birthday and nobody was in condition to drive. So one of them popped the hood, took some form of hose off, whipped out his AAA card and made a call. Now their were 5 of us, and I doubt they would do it today but it was very strange riding home in the car on the back of a flat bed, but none of us drove home.

We all have stories like that because sometimes you drink a little to much when you are out with your friends. At least you guys came up with a way to get home safely.

You would think that with all the people who try to sink their teeth into these players that they would just be like ok well you want to be useful to me then well you do not drink a sip of booze and you will be our DD all the time.

It is crazy what the ipad can do in the right hands though. I would love to get my hand on that ipad DJ has.

If I owned a cap company in a area where there was an NFL/MLB/NBA/ or hosted a pro team/big event, I would make sure they had plenty of business cards passed out to the players and such.

It is one thing I can't really understand.

I remember a TMZ post of the Manning brothers coming out of a restaurant after a few drinks... Climbing into the back of a SUV. Enjoying life the right way. With a driver.

The only way the NFL will put a handle on it is issuing harsher punishments specifically for that.

Some would argue that is double jeopardy or not their place, but something needs to be done.

I read an article about those Ipads recently. They can be remotely wiped, if they go lost or missing.

Funny how you can be impaired, but still have the presence of mind to scam AAA. And these clowns can't even call a driver.

Yup, like a Blackberry on an Enterprise server.

I'm not sure if that is a realistic response or some combo of modern day technology and a Star Trek reference. Never was a fan of the show.

Well.. nobody wanted to drive. Nobody wanted to pay for a hotel room. We were about 40 minutes or so from home so a cab would have been expensive, then you have to collect the car the next day.

A buddy mentioned AAA, another one said they only do it if your car is broken down. That is when another one popped the hood and unhooked a belt.

Now that ride home was bumpy and a bit strange. It felt more like a roller-coaster than anything.

LOL. How old are you?

A Blackberry is a smartphone/PDA. Soon to be defunct, but is still the preferred mobile device for people who do a lot of emailing from their phones. Corporations give them to their employees, but manage them through a corporate server. It's called an Enterprise server.

Oh wait... A server is a computer that handles centralized applications and data storage for the users on the network. Oh wait... A network is a group of computers that can all talk to one another and share information.

I'm assuming you know what a computer is because you're using this website.

In all seriousness, the Blackberry Enterprise software allows the company to remotely lock or wipe sensitive information from a device that's been lost or stolen. Same as the iPad capability you mentioned earlier. The Enterprise software is probably all that will be left of Blackberry in a few years.

Old enough that I thought it was some antequted combo of the modern day blackberry combined with The Star Trek enterprise.

I might be one of a few hundred my age that never watched any of the Star Ward/Star Trek movies or shows.

I jumped from flip phone to Android smart phone so I bypassed the blackberry altogether so I'm not familiar with their software.

You're subconsciously pining for the missed parts of your childhood.

You didn't really miss anything with the Blackberry. I have one, and the biggest perks are overrated. It's very good for messaging, but not much else. Their hardware can't hold a candle to the new Samsung/HTC/Apple/Motorola devices. But as far as corporate administration of mobile devices is concerned, Blackberry Enterprise kind of set the table.

Nah, My childhood was fine. I preferred Batman and Hotwheels to Star Wars but was outside playing some form of ball or on a bicycle more than anything.

Blackberry I was on board with. Enterprise was the term that was throwing me off.

    • I’m not saying anyone is infallible.  Far from it.   But as I shared with another poster tonight, I never think I’m smarter than a GM, or HC or coordinator or even a position coach.  Even ones I don’t like.      If you want to believe the word of someone on a podcast, go right ahead.   I think it’s a bad, bad look.   But hey, you’re certainly not the only one here who does that.    But certainly not me.    Good luck with that.  
    • That was great throw. It came in clean and Mitchell had both hands on it before the db knocked it out. This is the nfl, you have to SECURE, CATCH, and HOLD ONTO THAT BALL. You have to fight for every ball in the nfl(unless you are playing the Colts and you get to waltz through the secondary in front of lb's and db's for uncontested 15 yard gains). The one game Pittman missed Mitchell had 7 catches so he just needs to be more consistent. I still think he is a rare talent. But, remember also, we need Richardson to improve also and get our offensive line intact. 6-7 is pretty good, all things considered(including Bradley being the dc).
    • Because I have eyes and I can see what our defense is doing, I can see what instructions he's giving, where they are lined up, how many are rushing, how many are deep, etc. and I can make an informed deduction about what's happening. And in this case Tice is absolutely correct and what he saw was what I saw too and it looked exactly like what he describes - Gus Bradley had no idea they were trying to get into long FG range. He was only thinking about the Hail Mary.    I have no idea why you always give the benefit of the doubt to everybody in this organization despite what you can actually see with your own two eyes.   Of course Steichen won't say anything mid-season about his DC. Hell, even if he fires him after the season he still won't say anything overly negative, because this is the business and it's bad for business to burn bridges and flame people with reputation and long time careers in the league.   You can still watch what happens and make a conclusion for yourself. I promise you, the world won't end if you don't take the word of the GM, HC or the DC as gospel. As amazing as you think they are, they are not the chosen, infallible ones.
    • Have you perhaps had a little too much holiday cheer?   Some spiked eggnog?     “…. If the fans can see it, why can’t the Colts brass?”   Since I arrived here nearly 13 years ago, I have always maintained that the dumbest GM of all-time — whoever you think that is — knows more about football than anyone in our community.   And it likely isn’t even close.      For what it’s worth, people here used to think Granson sucked.   Then Steichen was hired and eventually was asked about his tight end room.  And he said nice things about several players, but most of all Granson.   Suddenly people here said nice things about Granson and he had a decent 2023.     For some unknown reason, the whole Colts TE room has fallen off this season including Granson.   But this idea that he should never play another snap again is embarrassing.     If you look again at the first paragraph I wrote I tried to give you a way out.  A chance to say you were blowing off steam and you really didn’t mean it.  I hope you’ll take that to heart.  You’re much smarter than this.
