Justin Tucker is, allegedly, a Deshaun Watson level scumbag.

Ravens' Justin Tucker accused of inappropriate behavior during massages - The Baltimore Banner https://search.app/PRPbPMx8GwSvQLXh6

Surprised this didn't come out when Watson's scandal did, especially since the spa's say this ended in 2016.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Doesn't look good for Justin. He released a statement that was basically an attack on the journalists, but those journalists happen to be among the most highly respected in their field.

Plus there are tweets from 2021 mentioning Tucker is banned from multiple spas.

I don't think there's anything that could lead to criminal charges even if it wasn't past the statute of limitations, and the evidence may even be too weak for civil court. But does seem as if there is enough for the court of public opinion.

Re: NFL Off Topic

This will be good fodder for the conspiracy-minded.

- If this started back in 2012 and been the subject of Twitter jokes and sly references for years, the Ravens absolutely had to know about this for quite some time
- Tucker just had his worst season, right before his cap hit was about to increase from $4M to $7M for the next 3 seasons
- According to the Baltimore Banner article, the 6 accusers didn't contact the paper; the paper "received a tip" to investigate the issue and subsequently contacted the women

Someone should’ve told him that having 95% of your statement complaining that the article was written just makes you sound guilty and more like you’re lashing out that it was reported. Just stick with a generic “I deny this, I’ll cooperate with an investigation and clear my name, etc..” type of thing.

There's definitely enough to excite the conspiracy minded, and if it was a different player I'd lean towards the conspiracy. But kicker salaries just aren't high enough to warrant the damage to the franchise image and media attention that comes with this.

My suspicion is one that still hurts the ol' faith in humanity though. Its probably a fan that knows the victim(s) or once worked in one of the spas. When Tucker was kicking at GOAT levels they kept their mouth shut due to their fandom, but they probably got irrationally mad about missed field goals as fans are prone to do, and sent the tip to "punish" Tucker for costing the team the game.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Looks like the Saints job is Kellen Moore's if he wants it. Not the job I would want as my first job as a HC. Both Brady and McCarthy turned that job down. It feels like sentiment around Eagles fans is the main downside of losing Moore is Hurts having another OC. If the goal is to having continuity, I wouldn't mind going the veteran coach route. Vic Fangio has pretty much made it known he doesn't he doesn't plan on going elsewhere elsewhere because he's from the area. With the talent core of offense, I think they just need a plug and play OC who's not likely to get a HC job right away. I wouldn't mind going after Frank Reich. He was the HC of Colts when Sirianni was OC and I think it would take 2-3 years of excellent years for Reich to get a HC job again

Follow up on this -- I may have been right.

A comment the op made: "He will be and it'll be great. He ruined my friends career when she spoke up years ago and was fired because ol tuggy was a high dollar client. He's been smiling around on the TV, missing kicks ruining our season and I knew all along what it was so yeah maybe being personally involved and providing the Banner with screenshots and names I feel confident the Ravens will part ways. It's just starting"

Don't expect the Jaguars to hire a new GM anytime soon, with Shad Khan more focused on his main business than the team.

Re: NFL Off Topic

This is my first time giving the Pro Bowl festivities a chance to watch live since I was a kid. Honestly, normally I'm busy with a tournament or forget, or I honestly just don't care.

The flag football ain't doing it for me this morning, but the punt challenge is actually fun to watch.

Highest paid coordinator at $6M. Depending on his success and Carroll's age, might be chance he can get promoted to HC when Carroll retires

Re: NFL Off Topic

They're gonna need a QB if they plan on doing much coordinating on offense...

Re: NFL Off Topic

Pretty much have to trade up. Obviously can go the stop gap QB and draft a QB route

Re: NFL Off Topic

Russ Wilson/Pete Carroll reunion NOW

Aside from trolling the Broncos, I don't see the upside there. The reason he landed in Pittsburgh is because Denver was paying his salary so they could get him for 1.2 million. Gardner Minshew got 2 years/$25 million, would Wilson accept anything less than $25 per year? Because I would not pay that.
