and got nothing against Sapp. I respect him a lot. we are s2 wr buddies. he knows I got nothing but love for him.

Yeti just went 0-14 two years in a row and there was a time where their GM was inactive, obviously it’s really easy to meme on them (like the “lol Browns” stuff). Nobody from what I can tell seriously rags on you guys in a genuinely negative way that’s outside the boundaries of good natured competitive trash talk but maybe that’s just my perspective... idk. To me some good natured trash talk is good and fun, I don’t think 90% of it is with the intent to bring people down

Edit to say that anyone paying attention can see Yeti are on a good track going forward so speaking from someone whose team is also going through a rebuild just know that some people’s opinions don’t really matter ya know?

and again, context matters. my shadow-gm article was a poke at my stupid shadow gm thing as well. 

there's a key and peele skit I love - https://youtu.be/naleynXS7yo

I can assure you, it's all in good fun with no ill-intents.

Also, you keep harking back to our "long-term planning" just because we didn't PM you. We didn't want you. We are focusing on bringing in young guys and building for the future - you wouldn't be viable for when we're aiming to compete. You seem to have taken it really personally and honestly you shouldn't. We respect your talents and what you bring to the league and individual teams, but we made a collective decision that you weren't right for the team. We are under no obligation to reach out to you and inform you of that.

and you're absolutely right you have no obligation to reach out to me, I just think it was a dumb move. I'm allowed to have that opinion.
