You can always move on over to one of those "peaceful" Islamic nations. They say "bomb" all the time when they're planning chicken sh!t attacks.
There are no easy answers to prevent players like Culliver and Aldon from doing stupid things. GM's, coaches even other players can't be everywhere to keep an eye on their teammates. The individuals doing dumb things are to blame. Somehow during the recruiting, interviewing, screening processes something was missed or just not uncovered. It's easy to blame the FO, but they can't know everything about a player...it's impossible. It's too bad, really, both Culliver and Aldon are very talented players, but for some reason just can't keep from acting irresponsibly. Let's not jump off the deep end...give the FO time to make some decisions once they have all the facts and the legalities are known.
If we were to cut Aldon for his off the field stuff, the DL would take a huge hit. This sucks man. The players must think they are untouchable at this point because they are always being given a chance. Maybe Aldon should be cut, hate to say it, to set an example that repeated off the field issues will not be tolerated. Or Trade him to a non-contending team.

We aren't cutting Aldon. We just need to call his mom and dad on him

Kinda backfired on the team back in the 90's when they got rid of Charles Haley.

I think it would be more effective if other players got after him. Imagine a dressing down by Justin Smith, Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman. That would set anyone straight. Throw in Vernon Davis since he was a knucklehead before too, so would be a good example.

Id much rather stay and try to make this country better. Although ignorant mentality like they bomb us because they are Islamic make me feel our country has been overrun with audience members of the blue collar comedy tour.
the Colin thing isn't that big a deal IMO, just unfortunate and untimely.
the Aldon thing is kinda silly too, I'm sure he didn't yell "I have a bomb", he probably said it in a casual way outta frustration with lines n typical airport delays and someone heard it and overreacted...
the Culliver thing is more serious IMO than both of these incidents
