It's not a big deal at this point. And maybe he had legitimate reasons. But why does it keep happening to the same guys with the "Knucklehead" label slapped on their back?

Do none of you fly much?

How do you miss a flight?
Let me count the ways...

Of course I fly less than our resident pilot, but a lot ...


I have some concerns, but this is not one.

Speaking of flying, I’d like to give a HUGE shout out to Southwest.

Last month I was heading home from San Fran to San Diego, which is always a delay or etc.

They needed volunteers to take a later flight and since I was going home, not to work I did.

I ended up w $600 free in the voucher plus the $150 of my client paid flight.

I needed to go to Rochester last weekend to see my niece graduate from college there, and my cost was $780. $750 of that was free from Southwest!!!!!

💙💙💙💙💙

I only had to wait an extra two hours that day in San Fran. So awesome.

To add, the 5 hour flight had no Wi-Fi, so our drinks were free. I enjoyed that. 🙂

My seat companion ended up a Ravens fan who said he already has tickets for his whole family to come to LA for our game.

I agree. This would only concern me if he skipped altogether or didn't communicate the problem with the team. Not a big deal to me.

We don't know why but apparently all he had for an excuse was that he was late. No public explanation.

Unprofessional? Yes.
Immature? Probably.
A warning? Maybe.
Important to the outcome of the season? Not a chance.

imo, much ado about nuthin'.

Just because his explanation wasn't made public doesn't necessarily mean his behavior was unprofessional or immature. If Sean McVay accepts his explanation, that's all I'm interested in. If McVay is unhappy with him, that's when I'll be concerned about it. I've missed flights in my life for reasons completely out of my control.

No it doesn't, but it doesn't mean it wasn't. Considering you should be at the airport 2 hours early and all you'd think a grown man could get to his job on time.

I really don't think it's that big of a deal. Certainly not like James Worth missing part of a Lakers playoff game because he was in jail for 'soliciting' 2 hookers.

And as tight lipped as this current Rams org is, I doubt we will ever know how coach really feels about Fowler's plane excuse.

Let's not forget these OTAs are voluntary, he's doesn't even have to show up if he doesn't want to...

True. He must have committed though or McV wouldn't have missed him.

NBD !
