Matthew Stafford Either Thinks The Rules Don't Apply To Him Or He Just Can't Read
If you haven't heard yet, the Rams are staying in Baltimore for a few days after their win over the Ravens on Sunday, they'll be flying out to London soon but stayed in Baltimore for a quicker flight. That means they needed a place to practice while in the Charm City, enter Camden Yards. The Rams have set up practices at the best ballpark in the country giving us some pretty cool images that we haven't really seen before, nothing like this has ever been done at Camden Yards.
The Orioles didn't have to let the Rams practice there but they were good $port$ about it and decided to help out the Ram$. The Orioles groundskeeper is widely know as the top groundskeeper in baseball, Nicole Sherry runs a very tight ship at Camden Yards and you can tell because of how damn good the field looks at all time. So you'd think when the visiting Rams came to town they'd respect the rules laid out by the home team, right?
WRONG! Leave it to a University of Georgia guy to blatantly break a rule and go to a place where he's not supposed to be. I mean Matt, the sign is literally right there! It's right in front of your face! "PLEASE" is literally written in all caps! Nicole asked politely and you chose to ignore it. Stafford either believe that the rules don't apply to him, or he simply can't read. That has to be it, no grown man will basically give the middle finger to a hard working woman and her team of groundskeepers, I refuse to believe it. It was one simple request, don't wear cleats on the tarp. I just can't get over the disrespect. Take the cleats off! Pop on some turfs or your trainers and have a party on there. Perform your rendition of "STOMP" for all I care, but don't wear cleats!
I also had folks in my mentions lecturing me that the sign meant metal spikes and not molded cleats like Stafford is wearing….Molded cleats are still cleats you bozos. And if they meant "no metal spikes" wouldn't that have been what was written? I know rubber molded cleats aren't going to rip a tarp. But no one in football is wearing metal spikes, they're all molded. If it was meant for baseball players the sign would have said that, that sign was handwritten specifically for the Rams and Matthew Stafford decided to piss all over it. Am I really mad at this? No, the tweet did good numbers and I thought it was funny. That's it. Again, not mad or upset. Just very disappointed that the Orioles lend an olive branch to Stafford and the Rams and they have blatant disrespect for a visitors home. Rick James rubbing his shoes on the couch all over again.
Nice to know that Matthew Stafford doesn't respect powerful women in sports and rules. Again, not mad, but I do think a written apology to the grounds crew and the Orioles would suffice. Maybe even an apology to me personally too, he at least owes me that. Be a man and follow the rules next time Matthew, grow up.
