I've grown and still live in Northern California and San Francisco 49er territory. Jeremy Newberry grew up in my territory. I wasn't close with him but I knew several people in his inner circle. There were people and his inner circle that sold steroids and I know that because we got them from the same source. I did them growing up. That whole group of guys got fistfights constantly. I knew several of them quite well even though I wasn't close with Jeremy. His inner circle kept him pretty insulated I can't even tell you that he did them I just know his Circle did and I did. He was very immature very cocky and loved to fight. If I owned a team and did a background check I would have been very leery of him. Fast forward to a couple months ago he bought a winery and got remarried. He has a beautiful wife and a beautiful Winery. He seems like a complete grown up now and the good guy I said hello to him. I am not saying anything about Jeremy Newberry I don't know anything for sure. But I do know the group of guys he hung out with. We know less than nothing about any of these players whether we beat the table for them or not. These teams do extensive background checks and know a lot we have no idea why they draft player or not. we just think we do. If you want to get emotional that is your right but trust me we have no idea what's going on when we see these drafts.
My God, these guys haven't even played a down for the Rams and we have people yelling bust the day after they are drafted. I understand the team has lost for 13 years. Who on this board doesn't? Nobody knows for sure until the team lines up and plays this season and we will not know about these players until they make the team and play on Sunday or are cut etc.
Good post EBRF.
