I don't even care if it's true. Coaches add and cancel practices (and meetings) all the time. The only thing that is even a MINOR concern is all of this is the "to go out" part. However, 1) I don't see how that can be anything other than conjecture and 2) if he felt the team (and he) needed a rest, then so be it.

It's not like we're talking about Sabby partying at 3am or anything.

If true, it's problematic. The last thing the Head Coach of a 5-7 football team should be doing is cancelling team meetings for a night on the town. And I'm pretty liberal when it comes to coaches/players leading normal lives off-the-field.

And what are you assuming "going out" means? I seriously doubt Haley was going clubbing. Maybe he "went out," got dinner, and turned in early?

My point is, it's all conjecture about something that MIGHT have happened. It just seems silly (and as mentioned earlier, very TMZ) to me.

It's the "calling off a team meeting" part that unsettles me.
I could honestly care less what he called it off to do instead.
Your team stinks. You shouldn't be cancelling meetings to do anything non-football related unless it's an emergency of some kind.

I'm NOT suggesting it happened. I have no clue whether it did or not.
I said as much. "Citing an unnamed source is easy to do."

Simmah, Mr. Micjones.

Honestly. They meet all the friggin' time. Maybe he decided to give them a break from a late day meeting. Maybe he had the runs. Maybe he had a family emergency. Maybe he and Pioli decided to talk on the QT about some personnel moves.

This place goes so overboard on speculation, it makes me want to be a winged radish sometimes.

I'm not upset about it. I just think, if true (which is likely impossible to know), that his priorities are out of order.

Its really no big deal. If the team looked unprepared to play like they did against the Lions, Bills and Dolphins, i might be more concerned. But the team came out and played hard and won. Non story.

If there hadn't been four games this season where his team looked completely unprepared on gameday...you'd have a point.

Those instances suggest there might be a culture problem as it relates to preparation. So I think it becomes a bigger issue than this one instance.

The bigger problem is that this guy isn't a good head coach. He's a good WR coach, and might be a good OC.

This is a random place to point it out, but I'm so tired of people saying the team was unprepared to play Detroit. Go back and watch that game. Until about 5 minutes before halftime, it was a 7-3 score, and that's after the enormous downer of watching Jamaal getting carted off during the first series.

Everyone showed up to play that day except Matt Cassel and his 47 turnovers.

Detroit has lived off killing people in the second half. They've been doing to everyone all year long.
