Local TV station just spoke w/ Nick Eatman re: delayed travel

[khiladi]

So you mean, Watkins made stuff up, about how this whole flight delay angle was because Jerry runs a circus and player's are always late, even to flights? So then, what happens to Watkins credibility regarding everything else, including his supposed sources?

Yeah, it was all a ruse. No one was late for this flight. That means no one was late for any flights. It means no one was late for meetings. It means Wade never fined players $100 for being late and wanted to raise the fine but Jerry wouldn't let him because no one was late because this flight was delayed due to weather. It means Romo doesn't have bad practice habits. It means T.O. is a team player. It means Wade really does have full control of his staff.

Yes, no one being late for this particular flight totally debunks everything. All is well. Nothing to see here.

Maybe just maybe there is something to this media making up stuff. I also notice ESPN just glossed over Ed Warders info.

I'm quite sure it was Garrett's fault all those flights were delayed. He also causes famine and global warming.

Garrett called the flight plan, Gurode snapped it over Romo's head, after running around and fumbling 5 times, he threw it to T.O. who then dropped it......then a flag was thrown....delay of flight....so it didn't count.

I don't care why or even if the plane was late, setting fines at $100 for millionare athletes is simply idiotic. Might as well just say, ah shucks, it doesn't matter if you're late for your coaches' meetings. You don't need to show respect for those guys to win football games...

The reports about players not respecting Garrett also spell trouble if he comes back next year, and that's been reported enough, along with quotes from TO and Romo, that I don't think anyone doubts it.

He said the reported "delayed travels" aren't substantiated. Said that specifically before the Philthy game, the plane was delayed due to weather. I don't know if it's the party line, but I worked with Nick while i was an intern with DC.com. I don't think he would sugar coat it to appease a medium size media outlet.

If true, I don't think this would have happened during landry's or Jimma's tenures. A head would roll.
