But being a dumbass is not such a big deal, so long as he manages to mature and make the right decisions.

He can still be plenty intimidating on the field and make good decisions off of it. I think it will just take some time, he's still just what, 24 years old?

So what if it was some regular Joe who did this? About 90% of people would be calling for this guy's head to be on a flaming pike. The only difference is he plays for the Redskins and is a millionaire.....

If some "regular Joe" waved a gun around at some punks that he thought stole his property, I really wouldn't have a huge problem with it. The best way to resolve the situation? Maybe not...but it's not like he started shootin'.

I guess I just fall in the 10% maybe...

If some regular Joe did it - I honestly wouldn't be interested in the story. It probably would have gotten less than 10 seconds of airtime on a local news station.

I think in the end, no one is as bad as they seem and no one is as good as they seem.

That being said, strap on your helmet bitches, I'm ready for some football!!

Someone who, without logic or reason, believes his favorite team, player or STD is better than the others just because HE or SHE likes them.

Wouldn't that be just a fan ?

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-08-2006, 01:23 PM

No, it's called being irrational. I'm a firm believer in the "Any Given Sunday" mantra that is passed around the NFL, but last year could a 49ers fan SERIOUSLY say their team was better than anyone except maybe the Texans?

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but there's my answer.

But wouldn't it be irrational to be a 49ers fan, if you were to try to apply logic to it ?

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-08-2006, 01:27 PM

Now THAT is the truth.

It's an interesting issue actually. Can you be a rational fanatic? Almost oxymoronic, since fanaticism is defined as "excessive, irrational zeal."

Oh crap, now I sound like Huddle. Forget it. You're both right.

Yeah, it's too deep to get into. Maybe to some, posting on the internet discussing or reading about the redskins is a bit too much and irrational (in terms of a waste of one's time).

(GASP!) There are those who would think such a thing? How dare they!

Yup, there are people like that - but you can feel free to bash them here if you want because obviously they wouldn't be here reading it.

Excellent point.
To all you non-Warpathers out there: You Suck!

Hmmm, in hindsight it's just not as fun as arguing with Giantone or D'BOYZ.
