DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Say Goodbye to Landry & OBJ

Ever consider that the person who responded for comment from the NOPD was not aware of the employment arrangement between the officer and the Superdome?

Read Devil's post above. You might find it informative.

As Chief of Public Safety for SMG Managed Facilities in New Orleans, Donald Paisant is responsible for all the security on a large campus that includes the Mercedes Benz Superdome, the Smoothie King Center and Champions Square. One of SMG’s security assets is an armed public safety security force. “These people are in police-type uniforms and are commissioned by the superintendent of police of the New Orleans Police Department,” says Paisant. “They have arrest powers on our campus while they’re working, similar to a college campus police force. The NOPD will back us up and do any follow-up investigations.”

SMG is a private company that manages public facilities and is hired by LSED to run sports venues to provide everything from security to housekeeping to field crew personnel. “We run it all, book the talent, book the events and work with the clients,” Paisant says.

He's an attention whore, we knew this. It's exacerbated by his lack of TD's this past season.

He will get healthy, he will produce and this is just the side show that has to be dealt with.

It seems you are the one who missed how he explained the difference in a security guard and a private police force.

And did you ever consider the person chosen as the NOPD spokesperson was correct? Because police departments rarely just let anybody respond the media.

Jarvis, OBJ, Baker are a package deal. Anything less is blasphemous

The next person that says “Odell wants out of Cleveland”, we will have issues

Believe it or not, people are in it for the long haul.

I understand your thinking, but you are wrong. There are lots of private policing agency's. College's have their campus police as an example. Utilities have their private police guarding nuclear plants. These people have full authority over their domain.

Then they certainly need to screen their hires better. Is there some test they can give them to test their sense of humor and their grandiosity?

This rent a cop is an ass.

Shocking:

Everyone already complains about the lack of quality real cops...

Not me. I think they're human just like everyone else. As such, with any large group of people you'll have both good and bad among their ranks.

In my experience I've ran into a lot more good ones than bad ones.

Not every police department is ran the same either. I'm sure, once again like anything ran by humans, some departments have a higher ratio of good cops than bad ones. Some may have more bad ones than good ones.

Any time the human element is involved there are variables.

And when it comes to rent a cops, or "private police forces", they're pretty much the leftovers of people who couldn't make it or even qualify as "real cops". So that's a variable I would say may make the ratio far worse.

Imagine that. It looks like common sense may prevail after all.

5 days to get there would suggest it’s not as common as it used to be.

I agree. I never thought it should go to court, but it could have. I still think OBJ a jerk do doing that.

His agent and the officer probably came to a settlement. How about a signed LSU jersey and a gift card...go buy yourself a nice big screen and surround sound.

however it went down I just hope OBJ learned whatever lessons there were for him to learn and that's the end of it.

I don't think his personality type will allow for that. He is who he is. I'm not exactly crazy about that either.

I agree with you on all counts.



I would say something along those lines was the intention all along.

Then again, his employer may have seen all the fallout about the incident and felt it wasn't a good look. Maybe in hind sight the guy saw how petty and dumb it all looked.

Any of that is possible.

I vote to delete this thread in the name of conjecture

I agree... I personally don't not want anyone slapping my but except my wife... but I don't think I would go so far as to press charges in this situation.... I could see myself trying to talk to ihim privately (probably the next day)... but I can't imagine pressing charges for just a slap

*Hands Jay a "T" * Here you seem to have dropped this off your backside.

j/c....

From butt slaps to helping babies fall asleep...

Babies?


That’s it, I’m done with this guy.


Where can we get a ham sandwich for him?

I probably wouldn't either, then again, it is a respect thing.

Anyway, the guy is a turkey. I hope we trade him for a mid 1st rounder. Maybe a straight up deal for a player at a position of need.

There's a lot around OBJ I could do without, but I'm not quite ready to trade him. Last year we had a team with very players who had to have their heads on strait.

OBJ is a weapon that scares the heck out of opposing teams. If he's healthy and his head is in the game he's a huge asset. Our new HC should sit down with OBJ have a long talk and tell him what it is and what he expects. If Kevin S. doesn't like the answer than he takes it from there. Our new HC is an offensive guy whom I'm sure would want a weapon like OBJ on his team along with everyone else we have on O. If we make the right moves in FA and the draft we can have a top 3 or 4 O in 2020. Most of the tools are here now.

It's a funny thing. I saw more people sticking up for a guy like Gordon than I do for OBJ.

I'm certainly not going to stick up for his bad behavior, but good God, you would think he attacked a 16 year old girl on Twitter.

You know .... that's very true.

I like OBJ, and I hope he is insanely successful here next year ... and that his best friend is too.

I think that OBJ was largely on his best behavior last year. He didn't raise a stink over touches. He didn't complain that we didn't throw the ball enough. He was a well behaved member of the team.

Yeah, and I don't know how to really explain that? Except may be to say that a WR coming in to Cleveland of all places and throwing up a 1600 yrd season who looked like he couldn't be stopped got him got him that benefit of the doubt that ultra elite talent gets you?

And why OBJ might not be given that same benefit of the doubt could simply because everyone is worn out. We're all worn out even if it's different things we have less tolerance for. Think about it:

-Those who support the nerds are tired of the football guys egos getting in the way
-Those who support the football guys are tired of the nerds meddling in real football
-we just came off of a season that had expectations hire than we deserved going in to it, but by the end of it under performed what it was capable of largely because of a lack of focus and discipline.
-all in contrast to a guy like Chubb who I'm pretty confident in saying most Browns fans tuned in the last few weeks to watch him more so than the rest of the team.


And I don't know, maybe wear we live geographically plays a part. Maybe being closer to Cleveland makes it easier to deal with it all because you're surrounded by other miserable wretches. Fans like me are on an island and constantly get pity looks or ridicule (though it's been bad so long no one bothers with ridicule).

Well, to put a baby to sleep, you sometimes pat their butt ...

In 2020? If it's on video? You're probably charged with child abuse.

I was impressed with his patience. Not so much with his routes and production, but his behavior was good. I give Landry credit for that in no small part.

j/c...

How long does hernia/core muscle surgery take to make a full recovery from? I assume he'd be able to take part in offseason activities, if he chooses to that is.

PatMcManamon
@PatMcManamon
Beckham went to the top expert in the country on the problem, Dr. Bill Meyers in Philadelphia. (Meyers bans the words "sports hernia"). Full recovery expected but no timetable given on rehab, etc. #Browns

OBJ is really committed to that fake injury.


Get well soon, OBJ!

It's hilarious isn't it? But nobody told us when the surgery was scheduled for?

But did he slap the surgeon's butt when it was over?
