Some women are definitely Victims, some are chasing money
I don’t know the Wobby/Erin Andrews connection that is being referenced here, but if any of these women are a true victim, it’s her. What happened to her was a huge assault on her privacy and sense of security, and she deserves every penny she gets.

With that in mind, it is a pretty good video. Better than anything that’s come out of these recent celeb photo hack jobs.

Saying she is a "true victim" and had her privacy assaulted and then following it up with "it's a pretty good video" is not "being a guy." It's being an idiot. Cognitive dissonance is not something to be proud of and being able to enjoy the video while acknowledging her victimization is a disturbing feat of compartmentalization that ignores her worth and dignity as a person.

There are plenty of women on the internet who have agreed to be photographed and filmed naked. No need to take advantage of a criminal act and see someone against their will if all you're after is cheap sexual gratification. Is the fact that she's an unwilling victim part of the appeal?

Well said.

One of the dumber (and truly bizarre) comments I've seen around here, and that's saying something.

His twitter rant was longer than the screen shot. It went on most of the day and he was responding to people and most in a negative way. Especially when he started saying he was afraid of illegals and his children.

However I don’t think he got fired over that. He did a podcast in January with KFAN where he talked about his faith and politics a little. Apparently those who knew him always knew what his politics were and hen was friends with people who had different values. From what I gathered he was well liked among his peers.

However the Vikings maybe had warned him not to get political and he had strikes against him. It could have been related to the Twitter rant hard to say. Of course it could have been something totally different. It’s not like the Vikings/KFAN don’t employ people who aren’t liberals. Ben Leber has talked some about being a conservative in the past and Joe Sensor was one as well. As for KFAN Charch is and pretty sure PA is as well.

All the statement said from the Vikings is that is was internal matter. We might never know the real reason but if Wobby sues it might come out.

he could have taken a severance payment with a non-disclosure agreement added to it. i just never took him seriously because he was basically the propaganda minister for the minnesota vikings. i hope he lands on his feet with a decent job-but as i said in another thread, i doubt he'll ever get a gig like the one he just lost.

He was super confident in his responses to others in that rant that he would never get fired from the Vikings because it was his personal account but he used it for work. He hasn’t tweeted since Sunday however.

Nah, from what I've gathered, he went on a twitter tirade about how Trump needs to get the wall up, otherwise Mexicans are gonna rape his children, and or force them to take drugs at gun point.
I'm assuming that's your interpretation of what was said and not what was actually said. What did he actually say?
I read that too and thought, "No way did he say anything even remotely close to that."

It's been said multiple times that this is just one small string. It's the only thing I could find with actual evidence as it was all deleted. I found it in the Wolfson thread talking about it.

In reality there were many tweets. He was raging all day. Not much I can do to prove it to you, sorry.

Smart not to play their game. It's an attempt at a "gotcha! You love raping women!!" so they can feel morally outraged and holier than thou.

I don't, would just recommend googling. with that in mind, she did sue to get it off most mainstream sites so not sure how easy it is to find anymore without getting into some of the more unsafe sites.
good luck though.
I'm having a really hard time reconciling your defense of her as a victim while also admitting you watched the video. That's kinda fucked up.

Negative Dave is a guy that used to call into PAs show weekly as part of a bit, he would be "negative" and PA would argue. That was literally the bit. They got rid of the bit because PA got a bunch of hatemail from the bobos over it, they didn't like him being so negative lol. I doubt he has any sources, but I find it interesting that someone connected with PA is taking these kinda shots.

Its a damn good thing your posts are usually 1 sentence. If they were 4-5 sentences, then it would be 4-5 sentences someone would have to read multiple times to try and figure out wtf you are babbling about. :lol:

Had a long drive on Sunday and listened to PA's Friday podcast before tuning into the game.

Thought it was weird how subdued PA was on Friday before an upcoming big game.

Thought it was weirder that AP guy Jon Krawzynski who usually is on with Barreiro was on the Friday Football Feast and no Wobby (he and and PA go together like oil and water) but chalked it up to the fact the guy is from Blaine and that is where the feast was being broadcast from.

I commented to my wife on Sunday that I was surprised that PA was not more enthusiastic during the broadcast.

Now it makes sense.

For PA losing Wobby is like a death in the family.

Can't wait to hear what really went down.

Did you not get the syllabus? How can I help you understand that it would be a ridiculous notion that Zim wanted to get rid of someone after the game, and he chose Wobby? Does that make the real reason, according to this guy, more or less likely?
