Steve Keim taking an indefinite, health-related leave of absence

[Brian in Mesa]

This season is now an official telenovela.

Maybe MadJack’s banner “No Mas” was rejected because the team thought he had insider information. jajaja

 

[Brian in Mesa]

ill add this:

Kugler wasnt "mysteriously" fired from his job. The reasons were known within 48 hours.

It would be mysterious to HIM if it is a case of mistaken identity.

All I’ve heard is Keim has been “spiraling” for weeks now with prescription drug/alcohol use. And most of his closest friends can’t track him down so everyone assumes treatment. Only a handful of people know where he is I guess.

Maybe he's been spiraling because he's worried about the truth of what happened in Mexico coming out?

Wow, that's even worse than some of us were thinking. So maybe the leave isn't voluntary, after all. I hope he gets the help he needs.

This would be the most insane plot twist yet in this abomination of a season.

By the way - when I bumped into Keim getting hammered bar-hopping at 10am on Broadway last year day before Titans game in Nashville he was with Mark Grace and AW.

Anyone who thinks AW has the chops to handle being GM is delusional. Great player and former Cardinal legend but the rest of the league would chew him up and spit him out. Him getting the gig would be Bill Sr. level stupidity and dysfunction.

Gracie was probably out on a Slump Buster and AW was the DD.

If Bidwill put language in kylers contract regarding study, it’s highly conceivable he put language in Keim’s regarding substance use.

The press release (….”by law….”) tells me the organization is not happy.

AZ is a right to work state- ANY employer can fire ANY employee for ANY reason.

This series of events screams to me ish is coming down the pipe, and SK is doing what’s best for him.

Kugler filing a grievance is just another dish arriving to the pot luck party.

This all goes back to MB imo.

What a ish show….

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Big picture - How MB handles this is going to determine our next few decades guys unless there’s some miraculous sale of the team. If he just plugs in another unqualified lackey GM to replace his other buddy who was a drunk unqualified lackey GM and then only makes some cosmetic changes around the building we are going to continue sucking more or less forever.

I hope the Cardinals decide to hire a brand new GM instead of promoting from within but man is that tough to believe.

Conceivable sure, unlikely though. You don't put those clauses in for your close personal friends.

Again, to go full pessimist an easy out for Mike would be to fire Keim, promote Harris or Wilson and then have the GM keep Kliff. You would have your sacrificial lamb but still save money.

So you’re saying with certainty this is going to happen. Joy.

Not the first time he has mentioned it and I have no reason to not believe him.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Grace and Keim managed to “stay out of trouble” last several years simply big using the Uber app. Behavior has been the same just stopped getting behind the wheel.

What a thrilling and encouraging time to be a fan. If the company is truly a reflection of the owner, I wonder what skeletons this guy keeps locked up nice and tight?

assuming you mean 10PM (Sat night) -- because 10am the day of the game takes it to a whole new level

technically, Quentin Harris is higher on the Org Chart than AW

not sure if that matters or not

10am on Saturday, day before the game.

I was having a Bloody Mary so not judging Grace but of course I was there for fun not work.

I hadn't seen that before.

Did you say anything to the group or did you let them drink in relative peace?

day drinking does have a certain appeal to it: but not on a business trip
