Infallible Rule Makers

I haven't yet looked at the posts of other Dog bloggers. I haven't really taken the deep dive into the Damon Evans story. Not sure I want to at this point. What we have is a DUI, a young woman with a big mouth, her underwear in Damon's lap and a confused Evans family and Bulldog administration. Given those elements, I believe any player in this situation would be immediately dismissed and shamed. Rightfully so, perhaps. I do not possess a crystal ball but I'm guessing that this will not result in dismissal for Evans nor will he stop making videos for the Jumbotron and the newsletter delivering messages of how a good citizen should conduct their life.

Anyhow...the people making the rules get a free pass. Congrats Damon. Perhaps once we hear all the details, I'll feel better about this. Hmm...I doubt it.

I'm less concerned with the fact that Damon Evans made a horrible mistake and got caught and more concerned with the fact that he is in a position to judge and shame others...yet when the rules are applied to him they somehow become more flexible.

"Mr Evans...your wife is on Line 2, your meeting with HR has been moved up to 9:30, and Zach Mettenberger and his father are here to see you..."
