Re: Report: Janoris Jenkins, Rams at odds over financial adv
*
On Fisher:
Q: Mr. Fisher, are you a social worker?
Fisher: Um, nooooo.... (head down like errant school boy)
Q: So what did we learn?
Fisher: Not to act like a social worker if I'm not one.
Q: That;s right. And what do we say?
Fisher: It was Les's idea!!!!!

On Jenkins:
He basically says there's nothing wrong with being a father and he loves his kids. He says there's no law against it.
I don't think he gets that "being a father" and "being a proactive gene donor" are not the same thing.
My bet is, his shocked and mortified agent is now teaching him that neither he nor members of his circle should run to the press when they have an issue during negotiations. ("He said WHAT?!")

I like this post on the whole topic:
Ram Quixote said:I think the Rams were hoping to encourage Jenkins to confront his issues, as a mature adult with multiple children would. Relying on a young 20-something, who has continually behaved as if responsibility is something for later, sounds naive at the moment. Jenkins has instead chosen to skirt around his personal word and seek advice outside the Rams, which has now put him at odds with Fisher, who may or may not be adamant about who he wants as Jenkins financial advisor.
There are deep pitfalls when expectations of help are left to people who's intent is merely peripheral aid and advice, and not hands-on help, especially when one doesn't really seem to understand the concept of responsibility.
Jenkins may know how to play football, but it appears he needs tough love in his life, and not people telling him what he wants to hear.

Well, who knows in what ways they actually 'care' about JJ, but financial distress can lead to stress that can affect a player's game,
plus if you dont pay child-support its a crime. It becomes a Felony after a certain amount accumulates, Etc. Plus, in a way, JJ reflects
Fisher's whole philosophy of drafting, maybe. I mean the whole world 'knew' about JJ, and Fisher pulled the trigger.
I doubt this issue will turn into a 'big deal' but it might teach us some things about JJ and Fisher and Snead, before all is said and done.
Just sounds like something 'reasonable' people could 'work out'. Ya know. Fisher says "look, you promised us you'd do this, and we 'relied' on that un-enforceable promise..." And JJ says "Yeah, but after i promised i LATER found out, this thing that bothered me about your financial person, and here's why it bothers me....". Blah, blah, blah, and they work it out, and Demoff declares Peace and Love thoughout the land.
Until the next JJ issue.
