OT - Miami Dolphins corner Brent Grimes wife trashes NFL on twitter

...or Real Miami Housewives.
I hate this reality TV age we live in.
Why can't everyone just rant on sports blog message boards like decent human beings? Is that not a big enough audience anymore?
This TMZ, Twitter, my voice has to be heard by as many people as possible age is disturbing.
She may have had a valid point (I stopped reading), but 99% of the people who read that are saying "STFU."
Anyone, OT or not...I'm glad I can come to MGoBlog for my daily dose of baby mama drama, ESPN.com has been slacking ever since some dude deflated some footballs while he was taking a piss.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:19 AM ^
I think you're understating what the locker room attendant allegedly did. Deflating footballs while taking a piss is a delicate enterprise.
I'm assuming.

I know it's hip and edgy to rip on TMZ, but they have broken some pretty big stories in sports the last couple years.

Maybe if every other word wasn't sh** I woulda kept reading...
January 27th, 2015 at 9:01 AM ^
She sounds like a gigantic pain in the ass.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:15 AM ^
Never rat on your friends....and always keep your mouth shut.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:03 AM ^
She started off pretty well, then....

If the working conditions are so unbearable, perhaps he should look for work elsewhere.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:07 AM ^
January 27th, 2015 at 9:10 AM ^
...but she'd damn sure get the last word(s).

Hell hath no fury like an athlete's family member who doesn't get what they think they're owed.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:13 AM ^
You should (carefully, in a suitable place and at a suitable time) google the cake she gave him for his 30th birthday...
January 27th, 2015 at 9:20 AM ^
...classy
January 27th, 2015 at 9:36 AM ^
Good lord.... there's a variety of words that I could use to describe her, but suffice to say she's rather lacking in class.
I hope they never have children. It would be like growing up on the set of a porn movie.

I went to a 'Phins game over Christmas 2013 and ended up sitting a few rows behind Grimes' wife. She's... intense.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:21 AM ^
She sounds like a complete biiiatch.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:22 AM ^
I think a good bit of her beef with the NFL is legitimate. And she certainly has a right to voice those complaints.
But I then think about the millions of families making $45,000 total annually, and the working man or woman getting fired from their hourly-wage job for refusing to come to work because his/her wife/husband is in the hospital.
Or better yet, the 6 year olds I've seen begging on the streets of developing countries for a few coins so they can eat.
Then I don't feel so bad that her millionaire husband didn't win a new truck for playing a game...
January 27th, 2015 at 10:10 AM ^
These are more or less the thoughts I had as well. Buried in that tirade were legitimate criticisms of the NFL and its policies towards various things and its lack of policies on a few other things, but I had to pretty much stop taking it too seriously when she started equating the removal of a paid appearance and now the lack of the Pro Bowl MVP award (and associated truck) equates to "shitting" on someone who makes a ton of money as it is.
In addition to your examples, when you live on a street with a lot of auto employees who had to endure the pain of large corporate bankruptcies, layoffs and in some cases, having to move or lose their home (some of these houses remain vacant six years later too), your perspective on what it means to get shit on changes a little as well.

Athletes (and in this case their spouses) will always be at a PR disadvantage. Owners assuredly know this. Athletes get paid top 1% money to play a game for owners that are financial gods among men and are very good at protecting that wealth. Anything that complains of fairness and equity is literally laughable considering the countless existing examples (e.g. the layoffs you recount).
Yet if you earned something and it's seemingly ripped from you unfairly, is it somehow more tolerable because you are at a higher starting point than the average person? Should you grin and bear it? I don't sympathize with her plight but I don't disagree with it either.

Pot, meet Kettle.

why she thinks her hubby deserved the MVP more than JJ watt. A huge downside to big contracts for athletes is the total lack of appreciation for the salaries they make just to play a game that has no significance in the real world other than entertainment.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:24 AM ^
Wow can you imagine living with this chick?!!!! I bet he looks forward to 2 and 3 a day practices AND the Thursday nite game!!!!!!! I wonder who really wears the football pants in the house?!!!!

You can't be serious.

If my wife was getting oral surgery I would make sure she was at the Mayo clinic and I would damn well be sure to be there becuase nothing...and I mean nothing is more important then oral surgery on your wife. SERIOUSLY!
January 27th, 2015 at 9:34 AM ^
I'd make damn sure I was the one giving to her.
January 27th, 2015 at 9:44 AM ^
January 27th, 2015 at 10:21 AM ^
I'm going to assume her focus was not on the truck for Defensive MVP since her husband could afford a fleet of them. Nothing wrong with sticking up for her man.
I don't know anything else about her, so I don't know if this is par for the course. But we can all agree that the Shield is a joke now.

Mabel, Jen, Brewmom, what say you?

Miko apparently moonlights as a neurologist specializing in sports consussion research.

I really felt she had legitimate concerns when talking about Brent potentially having to miss her surgery, but when she went on some tirade about the Pro Bowl, that's where she lost me.
Oh, boo hoo, you mean to tell me your multi-million dollar husband who takes care of you so you don't have to work a day in your life didn't win the Pro Bowl MVP? Have some perspective.
The blessing of social media is also the curse: everyone has a voice. Some voices are just more idiotic than others.

Im an Atlanta Falcons fan (Grimes started his career there). She has been an idiot for as long as anyone has known who she was. When Brent tore his achilles tendon and the Falcons werent sure if they wanted to extend him with a long term deal, she got all over the organization on twitter. Obviously Grimes still had quality football left in him, but there was clear risk involved for the team and one could understand why a team would hesitate to give big money to a short CB coming off an achilles tear. She was too stupid to understand that then and it looks like she hasnt learned anything since.
