The Big Cat

You said the same thing about EJ and I called BS then just like I am now. It's a poor excuse for both of their flaws.

You mean the ones that reinforced everything some of us said 15 months ago which took others until September of this year to grasp? No.

Lame.

Feel better now?

Leo is entirely out to lunch and Sal *admits* to being the laziest journalist on the planet and doesn't even realize it. Clowns like these wouldn't last a second if they were trying to get work nowadays. They've been granted in. They're a dying breed. No shock whatsoever that guys like Dunne, Fairburn, Cover 1 Eric, ****, even Galliford do laps around these dinosaurs. Young journos today can't afford to be as apathetic as the old farts tying up the newsroom payroll. And we get better work because of it. It'll be good riddance when the old guard gets the !@#$ out of the way.

They might not view it as an impediment to success, in fact I doubt they do. But if you think billionaires don't care about optics and how they and their organizations are viewed publicly, you're dead wrong. They care. Deeply.

So you're just pointing it out? You expect any one here to believe that? That this is tantamount to you stepping outside, pointing at the sky and saying "blue?" Yeah they're definitely not. Which is why it's puzzling that Berchold still has a job.

So what?

Tough titties, Dougo

It doesn't. But I see you've made up your mind. So, enjoy misery.

If only an exceptionally broad middle existed somewhere between the chasm separating "drinking the koolaid" and you... And "hope I'm right"..? Right about what? Nobody knows what's going to happen, we haven't been told what's going to happen, and we're light years from SEEING what will happen. I don't have an opinion yet. That's the point here. Step off the ledge.

Take a deep breath, homey. It's hardly mid-January.

Oh. Looks like "Tampa 2" is the early 2017 shorthand for "I don't know **** about defense but I'm guessing this is bad so I'm going to complain about it before anything actually happens." See: "Wide Nine, 2014." Also, last time we ran what folks here have decided they hate in the "Tampa 2" we fielded a middling defense run by the likes of John DiGorgion and Angelo Crowell. Anyways, back to the unwarranted bitching/hand wringing.

Sounds like Scotty B is overdue a trip to the principal's office.

0 = explanations you're owed

Much can be gleaned

Or go read a book. Or twiddle your thumbs till baseball season. Or shovel your driveway. Or call your mom.

There's no disguise, I'm pretty open in my disdain for how some of you choose to live your lives. You're good, homey.

Good god this thread. I pity some of you. I really do.

Yeah I don't think these guys make their choices based on the weather. Everything is downhill relative to SD anyways.

They were 5-7 over their last 12 games. Their QB situation is just as tenuous as ours. Their DC was given a lot of credit for how dominant their defense was, now he's gone. What exactly do they have going that we don't?

PBrown on the Weakside? Lorax or ZBrown on the Strongside? Any benefits/pitballs you foresee there?

Dove Valley sounds like a nice place. Elway has been quite the darling executive. Is this his first big whiff? Or does he know something the rest of us don't (as he's proven before)?
