rooting for Goliath

I think Dan Snyder should run for president in 2008! Does anyone know his political affiliation?

first gtrip is the one that mentioned before you edited your post, so you may think thats nitpicking, but it also means you were wrong.

Wrong about what?

Now, I think I understand what's going on.

Man, I understand you are bearing a grudge but do you really want to accuse me of lying over such a trivial matter? In Post 38, I wrote to GTripp: I added a line to the post you quoted before I saw yours. Naturally, to maximize the team's roster value, the money has to be spent up to the limit.

But you think I lied... and only edited my post after reading GTripp's post. That's it isn't it?

If that's what it is, why would you think that? Is that something you might do in the same position?

and nowhere is it articulated or mentioned that you intentionally omitted anything, nor was that point stated anywhere else.

My Post 49 to you...in response to the point you made: I explained a basic strategy in a couple of sentences. There were lots of lesser points omitted.


Let's give this up. Shall we?

I think you're over-simplifying.

It's true that fans wants their owners to do their best to field a winner but I suspect you'd get varying opinions if they were asked whether they wanted their team to emulate the Redskins approach.

Right now New England and Pittsburgh would be the models they'd choose I think.I'm not oversimplifying, im being realistic. Should I be ashamed of The Danny just because he spends like there is no tomorrow? good for him!! atleast the money ends up in the hands of the players.

You were over-simplifying when you said this:

"Every fan in the NFL would want his or her owner to do what Danny is doing."

I live in the Philly suburbs, and I think what gets to the fans around here more than anything is that no pro sports team here has won a title since the Phillies in 1980. The town has been teased by the 1983 Phillies, 1993 Phillies, 2001 Sixers, and 2004 Eagles all making it to the finals and losing. They're upset because they get so close to winning it all and then lose it.

PS Nothing is better than tuning into WIP (Philly's sports talk radio station) the day after they lose a title game. Grown men call in and break down in tears over the air. Some sound like they're ready to jump off a building. It's fantastic.yes i see that philly has all the wrong pieces in all the wrong places as thou it seemsi can sympathize with the philly thing im in richmond and ive been tellin peeeps for yrrrrsss that the redskins would never do anything ntil jg came outta retirement well see

Greetings from Miss Sally.

Today we learn about the playground and the rules for settling disputes.

Rule #1: If you push someone under the merry-go-round, you must make sure that all riders jump off. It's there only for bumps and bruises, not broken bones.

Rule #2: If you are going to play dodge ball, you may only wear a cup over one bean or the other, but not both.

Rule #3: If a dispute is going to be settled with fists, you may only hit your opponent's fists with your nose, mouth or stomach. There will be no pill popping.

Rule #4: There will be no bantam-rooster strutting about the playground. Either get down to business or sit quietly at your desk.

Rule #5: Don't come crying to Miss Sally when your feelings get hurt.

Guys dont sweat it. I love being hated by everyone else they are all jealous because we are the next big dynasty on the NFL and t hey know it.

please tell where exactly you got the idea i said you were lying, cause i sure don't see or remember it?

Yeah, guess what, I made a point (maximize your starters talent, ignore price/performance if you're still under cap when the thift players are gone) that counteracts the whole price/performance over everything else arguement, and regardless of what you thought about it, i think its a valid point and i don't care whether you personally approve of it.

Whether you chose to omit it or not, it wasn't mentioned, and it was a reasonable point, so I don't need the shit treatment everytime i feel like posting.

seriously, maximize talent? like you needed to waste 20 posts to say that? should i scold you for having a post over 2 words now because I decided to omit everything else, so its somehow illegal for anyone else to bring anything else up, lest i not be as smart as them? Cause that's what this looks like to me.

You were over-simplifying when you said this:

"Every fan in the NFL would want his or her owner to do what Danny is doing."Again, thats being realistic! You cant tell me that every other fan in the league doesnt want his owner to spend the cash. If any other owner was spending like Danny , you can bet that it would be okay with the fans of that team. look at all the years the Bengals didnt spend the money, the teams sucked year after year.i believe the cinci fans are loving life now that the owner is shelling out some cash to get some players that might actually be good. Now this strategy doesnt always work but i would rather have a front office that buys the best talent then one who looks for the cheapest way to field a team.

Huddle, after reading through the rest of this thread I'm compelled to tell you that if I were a moderator (which I'm not of course), I'd be looking for a reason to ban you from the site. At this point you don't seem to be in any violation of the forum guidelines, but you're so aggravating to deal with on this site. You basically don't listen to a single thing said to you on here. That Guy has been making point after point but you don't even seem to acknowledge it. Then you eventually come around to modifying your points, without acknowledging that someone else made that point previously. Furthermore, I've seen huge arguments involving you in other threads where you fervently argue point for point, and yet admit to not reading a number of posts directed at you. It comes across like you're more concerned with winning debates and saving face than with having meaningful and civil discussion.

Now I'm not trying to get you thrown out because as I said, I don't think you're breaking any rules; I'm just trying to say that you are quickly developing a reputation as someone who nobody enjoys talking to. You're very aggravating.

I think you make great points sometimes. And we need disagreements on this site, because it makes for more meaningful discussion. But if one person isn't listening to the viewpoints of other members, or is flat out skipping over posts and continuing to argue a point, it ruins any chance we have at having meaningful discussion. It just results in people talking past one another.

Just thought I'd say my peace on the subject.
