Anyone else tired of recycling?

[Galian Beast]

all these people in the media take something parcells said a week ago, and make a new article out of it, and come to their own conclusion. Its like they can make a thesis based on one thing the guy says. And come to the completely wrong conclusion...

It's an off week and the media is scrambling for stories - it's not unusual that they would take an old quote and put a new spin on it.

This happened to Greg Ellis throughout training camp.

What I'm tired of is the media saying...

"That is exactly what Parcells said"...

then later when things don't happen the way they think, they say "Well, you can't take Parcells words literaly...you have to read between the lines"...

 

[peplaw06]

Yep... get off my back you treehuggers. I'm tired of recycling. All your, "But it's good for the environment." I don't want to hear it...

 

[Danny White]

I'm so glad you brought this up. I hate recycling. It's a total waste of time.

It's all hype based upon the myth of a shortage of landfill space, the myth of a shortage of natural resources, and the myth that there is a real market for these second-rate recycled goods.

In reality, all it does is waste the time and effort of well-meaning people and make them mistakenly believe that they are doing something to "save the planet."

Oh wait, you were talking about recycling news stories. Nevermind, I don't really have an opinion on that.

I was thinking the same thing! Kill all those spotted owls while we're at it!:laugh2::laugh1:

 

[superpunk]

What have owls ever done for us, anyway?

I kind of agree, though. I think the situation is a little more comical, though.

We (and every sportsfan in the world who has friends who are fans of the opposition) get into this stuff everyday. We have in-depth conversations about Roy's coverage skills - Newman's numbers last year - the merits and demerits of every draft pick imaginable, and we do all this on our own time (or our bosses time ). OTOH, the people whose job this is, wait patiently for Parcells to spoon-feed them material, so that the next day, they can all write pathetically similar columns.

Then, they moan like cheap hoo-ah's when he has the audacity to cut them off every once in a while.

It just makes me laugh. We what they do, for free, and we're better, more diligent, and more enthused about it.

So, we're either completely insane; or they're stupid, lazy, and disinterested.

I don't know which it is.

I think it's all 6.. At least that is what we (me, myself, and I) think....

What? Pigeons? No, not this time....

I thought you were going to be talking about retread players who made their marks elsewhere.

I think it's funny too how whatever the "point of the day" is in a PC is what they all write about the next day.

But then again, by in large it makes sense. They aint writing those articles for all the people that hang around places like this who themselves have already listened to the actual PC (or read transcripts of it) and then discussed it ad nauseam before those articles even come out. Or discuss any other aspect of the team at length on a day to day basis.

Believe it or not there are people with lives that dont have time to do any of the above even though they're big fans of the team.

So the good news for those fans is if they only have a few minutes to read a column about what might have been the topic of the previous day, the writers make it even easier because if you read one, you read em all.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

recycling happens all the time on here, so I'm immune to it

Henson vs. Romo

Carp vs. Lawson and WImbley, and whoever we passed on who suits whoever's fancy

etc.

These people should be shot.

And I should be fired. : Amazingly, I get more done than almost all of my coworkers. I have no idea how. I think my brain is restless, and unless I'm doing five different things at once, I get bored and shut down.

Which probably means, going back to the original point, that I'm insane.

So the good news for those fans is if they only have a few minutes to read a column about what might have been the topic of the previous day, the writers make it even easier because if you read one, you read em all.

The bad news is, very rarely are they given the straight facts. The inconsistencies and flat-out falsehoods are glaring to us, manytimes, because like you said, we heard what was actually said. Everyone else gets like the twice filtered, personal spin view on things.

Of course, it is ONLY the Cowboys, so it's not a huge deal.

Did I just say that!?!?!? (No....you didn't) Oh, ok....
