Come on man, read what was reported Arians said today. If Brown hadn’t first complained about not getting the ball none of this happens. And that was literally everyone’s initial thought. It takes a pretty special brand of crazy to make up the hurt stuff after you complained about not getting the ball.

They are free to speak at any moment, and would be. No fn way this would be covered up.

They have a superbowl to win. Nothing that took place in the last 24 hours is surprising. AB was going to use the injury approach while the Bucs would say the opposite. Currently it is a he said he said game. Only way we find out the truth is if we hear the players side down the road.

We know the truth, an organization can’t go on record that he said he wasn’t getting enough looks if it’s not true. And they would have no reason to.

I know how professional companies do business. The reason it took a couple days to cut him is it had to go through layers of lawyers. They have multiple players, coaches, no telling who else that heard him say he wasnt going in because he wasn’t getting looks. If they did not this doesn’t happen.

I really like Publix. Ever been when you visited the daughter in FL @trojanfan12?

Their sandwiches are fucking amazing.

Yep. When I lived on Anna Maria Island, that was where I did my grocery shopping. It was the only grocery store on the island.

We don’t know anything.

You don’t know Bruce Arians personally.

While it is very easy to assume he is telling the truth because of his reputation vs. AB’s, you don’t KNOW anything. You weren’t there.

I had this same conversation with my 10 year old yesterday. You may have completely convinced yourself that you know the truth, but very few people really do know. And you aren’t 1 of them.

Arians does have a reputation for being emotional, stubborn, and for having a really bad temper. So while his rep is definitely more believable than AB’s, he is far from perfect.

He might be telling the truth from his perspective, but he could also have a couple facts twisted. I do think his version is closer to the truth than AB’s, but there is almost always some truth in both sides.

You just can’t know for sure.
