Twitter: Jimmy throws Garrett under the bus

[mattjames2010]

So you honestly believe optics don't matter?

This isn't politics, there isn't an election coming up in the NFL.

When the players take the field, they aren't thinking about Garrett watching a game.

Jimmy doesn’t look 75 at all.

It must be the Florida weather and all that fresh ocean air.

He hasn't had to put up with Jerry in 24 years.

Right. They get chewed out for missing a treatment, the last thing they are going to do is consider that the puppet head coach gets to clap it up with a celebrity when he and his staff have failed over and over again the first seven weeks of the season to field a competitive offense.

This could be true.

Another theory is that it’s due to all of the Extenze.

I bet if you asked him and he gave an honest answer, his tenure with Dallas seemed like a decade dealing with that moron.

This is stupid.

No coach or player thinks about football 24/7 so what does it really matter how he spends his downtime. As long as he’s not out committing crimes or something.

And I think all this “sending the wrong message” stuff is BS. Highly doubt the players and other coaches care if he spends some off time at a baseball game, at a movie, or just goofing off at home.

No one cares except for some fans on the Internet and some talking heads in the media. It’s stupid.

True. Notice how he said it was a matter of PERCEEPTION. Never said it was wrong. Its the media and fans who will crucify him.

You get players are also allowed to go out, right? When Garrett starts not showing up for something mandatory, we can talk.

You're weird.

Any little bit of public criticism helps. In other news, Garrett clapping.

That's just stupid. Coaches spend 2/3rds of every day at the office.

 

[gmoney112]

How is commenting as he did, "throwing him under the bus"?

Hey, you didn't know?

Comments now are classified as either "anointing" or "DESTROYING" (or "thrown under the bus" in this case)

Great time to be alive.

 

[The Quest for Six]

it's a bye week and the team is off on this weekend so it's not a big deal IMO....

 

[Captain-Crash]

Jimmy is pissing me and the Rock off with all his negative words. Garrett is a previous COY and knows what hes doing. He's scheming in his head while he's watching the game. YOu haters piss me off

Wish I could like a comment more than once...

If JG didn’t prepare this offseason what do you expect during a bye week? This team is a joke. Culture of losing and no accountability.
You either coach it or allow it to happen.

 

[HowardC]

So anybody watching The World Series?

Did baseball stop being boring **??

 

[MRV52]

I mean, does this idiot ever NOT clap???

good grief

Guy claps even when he goes to the toilet.

 

[TheCount]

That's just stupid. Coaches spend 2/3rds of every day at the office.

His point is the optics, not whether or not he should actually be at the office.

 

[HowardC]

BOOM!!

 

[HowardC]

JG has always preached to his players to get away from football during the bye week. He is just following his own advice. Nothing wrong at all with it but I realize the habitual haters will have to field day with it. It's like raw meat for them.

 

[cern]

I agree. I said a few days ago I wouldn't give the players any more time off than what was mandated by the cba. Same for Garrett. Make the loser earn his pay.

What does that accomplish? I’ll tell you. Players quitting on the team.
