Twitter: Jenny Taft defends MM against Skip's attack on his weight

[SteveTheCowboy]

And like how Romo would step up into the pocket to throw an untimely interception in December.

Cause no qb ever has thrown an untimely interception. 5hat romo...incompetent over rated simpleton. Wish we had kept q. Right?

Andy is a little older.

A little older does give you the right to be way obese without fault.

Andy is a little older.

only a few years, McCarthy is 57, Reid is 63. But that’s besides the point, just was showing that even fat coaches tell their guys to run laps lol

He's a football coach not a strength and condition coach. He was a good football athlete growing up and a Super Bowl winning coach. A lot of people in his age group just don't prioritize exercise and dieting. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but I know of people who are thin at 60 and just kind of frail bc they go through their life not eating much everyday. I guess my point is you aren't going to find a large % of 50-60 year olds who are career oriented who really focus on exercise and nutrition. Good on Skip for living a healthier lifestyle. Weight is difficult for a lot of people though. I'm constantly hungry and I don't always eat when I'm hungry but I do work my tail off to not be overweight. And the more I exercise the more I want to snack lol I just avoid actually snacking often.

Honestly most of our coaches in recent memory have had guts besides like Jason Garrett.

defending obesity is such a pathetic thing to do.

MM has displayed many alarming signs . Lack of control . Lack of judgement , lack of in game adjustments His weight situation could be another symptom of. Bigger issues .

Someone please close this thread.

It's juvenile and pathetic to make fun of Fat Mike's weight.

Taking cheap shots at the obvious is the lowest form of conversation. Everybody knows that MM is doughnut challenged and pointing it out is not a surprise for anybody.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

I don't care about the coaches weight. Its a dumb thing to slight him over He's not being paid to look like Zeke Elliot or Tyron Smith.

 

[waving monkey]

Bayless's comments have no meaning,he's a snake

I do agree, I’m not defending obesity. Caring about another man’s weight is silly too. He’s not hurting anyone other than himself and it doesn’t effect his coaching skills. Plenty of fat coaches in the NFL that are greats

It's tough getting up every morning and having to jack your legs apart to put your pants on...

These coaches are worth their weight in ambergris.

Obesity kills but I'm not supposed to care because it is "silly"? Hurting himself doesn't matter? No one said fat coaches can't be great so I don't know why you even bring that up. You are making no sense with these arguments you are making.

 

[8FOR!3]

I'm not saying you should care about obesity but the Cowboys coach being fat doesn't effect you. And the point is fans don't care that he's fat they don't respect him as a coach so they use that to make fun of him. The "other NFL coaches being fat" comment is my point bc there are well respected NFL coaches who are obese who don't catch any flack for being obese.

Coaching adds 10lbs a year easy. I thought he looked slimmer on hard knocks then last year.

 

[Scotman]

There's no question our coach is overweight. But his whole take isn't any sort of sports journalism on Skip's part. She was 100% correct in calling him out.

It was what he did after that that disgusts me the most. When she said she could also give her opinion and say what she wants, he leans down and says, "No." He completely dismisses her and her opinion. I can't stand him. If she is only supposed to be there to be pretty and keep her mouth shut, don't call her the host. Don't pretend she's anything other than eye candy instead of trying to create the illusion of a show with optically balanced viewpoints. He dismissed her and her role on the show...ON THE SHOW. The only reason he did that is because she's a woman. I just can't stand him at all.

 

[Bowdown27]

Skip is a real piece of work. I’m glad someone stood up to him. She’s cute too btw.

Huh???

 

[Section446]

I'd take 20 other coaches over McCarthy, but taking a shot at the guy for his appearance is low, even for Skip.
