  1. Had to love when a thread in the "Anything But" forum got conversational (you know...fun) and the terminator would come lock it up. Locked threads were even a surprise as the SOP recently was delete like it never happened. I will say I was largely ignored by the mods, but lack the hot takes of some of you.
  2. I have no problem with player celebrations, but any player celebrating while their team is getting blown out is a bad look. ex. Santonio Holmes
  3. Listing other failures is supposed to prove a point? I think Whaley is terrible for the following: -Poor management of draft picks -Reactive over proactive (see 2016 WR position) -Very minimal, if at any, progress with the most important position on the field. -Has spoken openly about viewing FA as an equivalent team building avenue to the draft, which I think is a poor philosophy for many reasons. -Doubling down on EJ Manuel after year one when the evidence should have given pause. He has made some decent trades, but ultimately should not have survived another staff shuffle. None of these are related to the potential "something else" I imagine you were implying.
  4. I think Whaley is a terrible GM because the roster is paper thin at many key positions... Not because of BS like this.
  5. I am pro-union for many reasons, all of which remain intact in a right to work environment. I work for a large company employing union labor. The locals have already been reforming for some time addressing many of the issues being actively pushed in nonunion agendas. I work in an industry where quality is of paramount importance and training through the apprenticeship is training of the highest quality. Even the state programs in schools, where a good portion of the nonunion labor flows out of, are tought by union men and women. Selling value will excel in any environment. The other reforms (nepotism, floating useless people, etc) have been largely eradicated. This of course amounts to sound leadership and by no means addresses the public sector, but the amount of anti union garbage that is constantly reinforced is a little much. Sure you can make OSHA or poor exploited worker cracks, and yes unions should probably refocus or get phased out, but considering those were reasons unions actually needed to form you sound a little salty.
  6. If he's one of the statistically worse kickers over the past two seasons, sure.
  7. There's were clear favorites that could come at people with overtly political comments and zero consequences. Others had posts/threads deleted clear off. I never was one to complain about unpaid moderators, but there was most certainly favoritism.
  8. If you said a bad word about any player on BBMB a rush of cheerleaders would come to his rescue. Stats would not work on them.
  9. Yes, the majority of liberals are horrible, misinformed, hypocritial, whiney, etc. However the more little digs you and your peers take will hasten the swinging of the pendulum. You still aren't looking at the whole pie. Everyone is too stupid to do what needs to be done....COMPROMISE
  10. I'll say it again...our WR corps is so paper thin that they need to kick the tires on any FA they can this offseason. Need some solid role players at the position.
  11. I am extremely indifferent on Taylor. I wouldn't mind keeping him and watching (hopefully) a competitive team next year. I also understand ripping the band-aid off. If they are going to move him I would hate acquiring picks and then flipping them for another middling Journeyman (Foles' name being knocked around is nauseating). Pick a direction and commit. The bumbling fools running the show will likely screw it up though.
  12. I don't need any of the reporters to tell me that the teams chain of command is ambiguous with frequent power struggles. I feel the evidence bears that out over many years. Do I think any of them have a pulse on this TT decision? No.
  13. Wait there are too many cooks in the kitchen? Wait Pegula made another best friend? I hope the "media is throwing darts" crowd is right.
  14. Anyone I've ever had a disagreement with I now love unconditionally.
  15. While I'm discouraged by the left's arrogance and lack of self awareness, it's simply the bizarro form of the past 8 years with petty attempts at character assasination.
  16. As in thinking that is more important than the community. Not to say the Democrats have done better. I'm very disgruntled by the left these days and am at somewhat of a crossroads.
  17. Vic has lost all credibility of late. We'll find out soon enough.
  18. Someone who endeavors for "me and mine." This can take many forms.
  19. Easier for them to kill fan engagement than it is to make the playoffs.
  20. I'm not all that surprised it's gone, but to be fair we had solid traffic all year. A message board is also a very specific experience. It was done in poor taste though. There was a very active community and the Sim league going on. Poor taste.
  21. They should kick the tires on any FA WR they can bring in. It's a glaring need whether it's a high draft priority or not. A veteran presence would be nice.
