Ten Alabama Players Invited to NFL Combine
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
If a man threatened to put his hands on me, I would have said the same thing. Foster needs to humble himself.
I hope Reuben gets some PR help from his agent or somebody else. This isn't a good way to address the situation..
Somehow I think we are only hearing part of the story with even the little we know. These medical personnel should know all of these players are on edge. These evaluations literally mean millions and many times an opportunity to make any sort of living at all for themselves and family. The last thing needed here is a mouthy medical staffer antagonizing up on these guys. To me this is sort of like working at the country club where putting up with a member's ego just comes with the job where your primary expectation is to keep your mouth shut be respectful at all times and do your job.

I have to wonder about the judgment of anyone who would allow themselves to be drawn into a "heated discussion" with Reuben Foster.
Right? Goodness. I still can't figure out why he wasn't more of a weapon for us.
Working in healthcare can be frustrating sometimes, to the point that you stop putting up with anyone's crap.
An example. My dad works triage at night in an ER in the eastern greater b'ham area. He's the one that has gets the heat about wait times from patients in the waiting room (He's also 6'5 and 250 pounds and, in spite of turning 60 here in a few weeks, the "intimidation factor" if a patient is/thinks about getting violent). His cynicism after doing this for nearly 40 years is a sight to behold. Nice to you if you're nice to him, but start getting stupid and he will snark back. (You wait like everyone else. I understand your X hurts. We can't help that this critically injured gunshot victim/MI/car crash trauma blew this place up and unfortunately extended your wait.)
He can't stand the higher ups with all their complaints about customer satisfaction surveys and wait times. He once told me he snapped on them one morning (these are his bosses) after a long and busy night where they ran out of beds in the ER again (this happens most nights, he often has to sleep patients in the ER), pointing out that Carraway shut down, Trinity moved to 280 and UAB and the downtown hospitals are always on divert, therefore everything on the east of town comes to them whether they like it or not. They avoid talking to him about that stuff now.
I guarantee you if Foster had gotten up in his face about wait times and pulled the "do you know who I am?" card, he would have laughed right in it. Love my dad. He doesn't put up with anyone's crap.
(Man, that's a lot of parentheses.)

I completely understand the stresses. However the players weren't being treated in the ER. This was supposed to be a professional environment. Even though RF lost his cool when he should not have this is not a good look for the NFL for one of their premier events of the year.Working in healthcare can be frustrating sometimes, to the point that you stop putting up with anyone's crap.

A. Stewart at the Combine
4.49 40 and balls throw behind him caught in the drills, solidified a top 100 pick.

I'm assuming you've never worked in medicine. they are pretty on edge too.
I work on a behavioral health unit and while staff can make things worse it sounds like foster was the aggressor here. From what has been speculated anyway.
I don't think it hurts him too much. Aggression is sort of part of the job at that position
