“A party atmosphere on the plane” hmm

Now it's reported that booze and weed were in use on the plane.  I don't have any issue with those substances, but it is against NFL rules.  Hopefully this is a McManus issue and doesn't result in team discipline.  It would suck to lose a draft pick over something that a kicker did.

What is it with the Jags and guys who kick the ball?  One punter hit his toe with an axe, a punter drafted at #70 overall only lasted 4 years, and now your kicker is charged with sexual harassment.

An article I read somewhere says that NFL rules prohibit alcohol on team aircraft, but apparently it’s a rule that is roundly flouted by all teams.

Lock him in a room with Urban Meyer for 24hrs.  Old Urban will kick some sense into him.

Bro that's not scoring.  Grinding without consent is a penalty.

Urbz will just be asking him to hook him up with his ladies.

Yeah - they have flatly ignored that rule for decades all over the league

Especially on an international flight. Yes, don't get tanked on a 45 minute flight to ATL. London on the other hand...nearly a week before the game...come on man!

Plaintiff's lawyer let the cat out of the bag, if he'd just paid them this would've all gone away.

Tony Buzbee, an attorney representing the two women, said on Instagram that before they filed the suit, the women and their lawyers tried to resolve the case “without the need for litigation” but that “our efforts at resolution were met with arrogance, ignorance and stupidity.”

I feel bad for these flight attendants.  They are placed in a desolate area with no one in the vicinity and  with no means to resist such advances or inform others that unwanted advances are being made.  Perhaps the Jags should think about going to London as a team (group), instead of each player traveling alone with only a flight attendant, so the attendants can easily contact someone nearby if this should occur again.

That's the part that bothers me.    If McManus did something wrong...punish him.    But if he did something wrong, and $$$ would have made them look past the aggression...it bugs me.

They are entitled to seek whatever resolve they wish, but...

He gone.

Just pay her $130,000.

That's why the team is being sued.  They feel they can prove that other team players or staff saw what McManus did, and did nothing to stop him from doing it again.

Sue everyone possible, increases the likelihood one will just pay out. Lawyers showed the hand of just wanting a payout to go away.

Buzbee is the same guy that went after Deshaun Watson. 

I'd be interested in what the team says but I'm guessing there are no comments from there right now. I mean, depending on how they comment it's possible to see whether they dispute the events in general or just their specific responsibility.

Welp

When hip thrust is bad for a kicker.

When will kickers learn?

He thought it would help get penetration into the backfield.
