Look, when Brunell is benched it's the end of his career. That's what Gibbs knows and he is basically trying to save face. This is ridiculous after all of the money that has been spent to settle for Brunell after Gibbs drafted Campbell in the first place.
Do you really think Joe2 would sacrifice the team for Brunell's.............feelings..............or his own ego? I know, I have heard more ridiculous things in my life. At the moment I cannot think of any

Since you want to make this personal, here goes.

My business has a growth rate of a minimum of 23% per year. We grow our growth internally, that is, we don't buy other companies just because they have a contract we want. We don't buy growth, we cultivate it.

We have training paths to teach our younger employees our business culture and work ethics. We also provide for the professional development of our less experienced staff.

If thats OLD SCHOOL then I'm damned proud to be old school. A business has to grow to stay strong. A growing business is not taken over by the younger movers and shakers. Moving and shaking plays very thin after a while and people tend to gravitate toward companies with proven performance and core values.

CANTHETUNA you stepped over the line here and I will call you out on this one. That is about as delicately as I can put it.

I'd be happy to tell you offline; however, it is a private sector company providing technial services (mostly defense, management, and engineering) with a bottom line of over $1 Billion per year.

I've been at this for over 30 years, hold an advanced degree, and take a great deal of pride in my company and the work we do. It may be false pride, but I think I have a small inkling about how to do my job.

Enough - I'm not trying to highjack this thread. I'm not even really angry with CANTHETUNA. Anyone is free to disagree with my opinons about the Redskins ... heaven knows we are all experts in our own minds. I'm gratefull for the diversion. I get my hackles up when someone challenges me professionally however. RANT OVER.

I use this site as a reward to myself for completing a task that I really did not savor tackling. But I limit myself to no more than 10 minutes and my time is up.

Cheers!

Nothing I said had anything to do with anything personal, I didn't come out and call you a fat homosexual mongoose raping inbred smelly person, I disagreed with what I interpreted your analogy to mean. I even tied it back to the relevant subject matter, that being campbell and attempted to point out how your business views simply didn't apply to the current QB situation.

Wasnt a personal attack, and I explained that if it DID sound that way, it probably had nothing at all to do with you, but MY business and what I deal with everyday.

I didn't cross a line, but I am sorry YOU interpreted it that way...

I don't need it delicate, you can ask my wife, I like it rough...


If innovative thinking and understanding ever-moving market trends are "moving and shaking" then moving and shaking are the reason you don't see fucking woolworths on every corner anymore... welcome walmart... with levi's and HDTV's...


The difference in our views, however is traced to our market. When I said I had no IDEA what you did or how long youve been doing it it wasn't an attack... now its clarified. You deal with Defense, aka "the govt" the only business that does business exactly the opposite of every other business in the world. Spending more money means a larger budget, and lack of results can result in promotions. (my father in law is some "some body" in "some factor" of the DOD as well, and I don't claim to know everything, or even much about what goes on, I know enough to know its not the same)

you know what, Im drunk and babbling and will probably regret posting this after you attempt to make me look stupid tomorrow, but f it...

i freaking love you dude....
