Al is part of the team, and more importantly a man. If he decided to depart from the TEAM decision, at least man up and tell your teammates (your brothers) yourself.
I have no problem with what he did, but with how he went about it. As a fellow veteran I have zero respect for how he handled it. Big Al would have his Tripp’s’ *** if one of them ever did that. That’s not the military way.
As far as the Tomlin thing. I don’t know what to believe here. It’s hard to believe Tomlin gave him permission and then didn’t either tell him to talk to his teammates, or talk to the team himself. My suspicion is that Tomlin took the heat publicly, like he has done before and handled the issue internally behind closed doors. I guarantee there are some crucial conversations taking place this week.
Little things like this can destroy a team’s chemistry. Veteran or not, Big Al needs to be a better teammate.
