So, is there freedom of speech here or what?

I remember YEARS ago listening to Ken Beatriz ("You're next, on Sports talk!") and someone asked him why the skins were so good that year and he said something to the effect that one of the biggest determinants is which team had the fewest injuries at critical positions.

We were not that fortunate this year. A new QB with a (albeit decent) patchwork O-line, Rogers an Taylor both going out at the same time, Moss playing hurt ('every step is excruciating').

I think ole Kenny had it right.

Not the only reason, but a big one.

J-Dawg.


Lots of reasons for where we are now, but can anybody remind me how it felt in 05 when we had the identical record. I can't seem to recall if it was as bad a situation as it is now. I guess the six wins in a row helped with my amnesia. The Cowvomits sucking also helped. Finally, as a matter of free speech...J-Dawg, please remove the Longley quote. The painful memories! Oh the pain! I'm going fetal.

Very nice post.

There is definitely freedom of speech on this site; it just happens to work both ways. If you talk out of your ass and/or in an incoherent manner, you are going to get blasted.

I have no problem with that Sheriff. Here's my problem, I started a thread that was willing to give "amnesty" to all the Kool Aid Drinkers so that they could publicly admit that Gibbs 2.0 was a failure. Instead of DEBATING that I was wrong, Smootsmack took it upon himself not only to lock the thread but send it to thread hell so that no one else could respond to it. Now, how was Smootsmack justified in doing this as opposed to debating the idea in the thread? Notice that he has not argued either way, he simply is one of the biggest Gibbs supporters on this site and therefore he found it in his power to send the thread to thread hell.

C'mon there was going to be no debating or meaningful discussion in that thread. Just look at the responses you were getting. It was all about you rubbing people's noses in it. Grow up and stop whining.

So, Smootsmack decided that since he could not debate the idea of Joe Gibbs being a failure, he decided to move the thread completely to thread hell? Like I said, either you agree with the mods here, or your threads are moved or locked or both. This was a legit thread that Smootsmack disagreed with but rather than defending Gibbs he just locked the thread.

If you don't like it take a hike. Frankly the mods and many others around here are tired of you instigating and whining about "freedom of speech".

Your thread was headed for the shitter right from the start. You can't be serious in thinking there was going to be any sort of meaningful discussion there.

And now magically this thread has been moved from the locker room. Nice, way to prove my point.

Those who are deemed as kool-aid drinkers are going to stay kool-aid drinkers and not jump ship and not out themselves for "amnesty" that's almost like saying, "Hey, if you admit that you committed a crime in the past few days/weeks/months and you just tell us you did, we promise not to arrest you." I mean come on. That's just a trap waiting to happen. I'm not a kool-aid drinker. Unless by some freak miracle we turn into a superbowl team within the next 5 weeks I'm done with Gibbs 2.0 But just leave the kool-aid drinkers alone. There's no point in jabbing at them. Smooty closed the thread because he probably felt like no good was going to come out of it, just more people coming around either capping on the kool-aiders or capping on everyone else. And not to beat a dead horse but didn't you get into it with someone awhile ago about them taking shots at your wife who had recently passed? Come on, you really don't wanna take a chance on something like that happening again do you? While some people will hold civil debates with you, there are always gonna be dissenters. I personally like SS for not letting something that of course, could of stayed innocent, turn into a huge debacle. Good call SS.

It's not a discussion that really belongs in the locker room.

Not sure how that makes your point at all, unless your point is you're an ass but we all know that.

Besides, the thread is still open, isn't it?

I wouldn't want to trample on your precious freedom of speech.
