Dickerson To Zeke: "I'm glad you didn't break my record."

[bsbellomy]

Huh? Why is that pathetic? Maybe he could be more diplomatic, but these guys are competitive.

I don't understand why anyone could take offense at that.

That's like Bill Gates saying he hopes a better OS never comes out. Hopefully society in general doesnt have this attitude.

I know you weren't talking about the Rookie record.
You said Dickerson would likely be more hurt about his single season rushing record.
And I said not necessarily because a back has one chance to break a rookie record vs. several times to break the single season rushing record.

I understood what you said perfectly. What I did is called analyzing information and providing relevant feedback.

Understood.

I still think the regular season, more yards, will bother him more.

it's not like that at all

Yes it is. The overriding theme in both is not wanting someone else to best your accomplishments.

You are likely right. That's the more significant record. But more guys have a shot at that every year. But you only have once to break the Rookie record. Maybe that's what I should have said.

Indeed. Only one shot at rookie record.

I just don't see running backs have a shot at the record every year.

Passing league, blah blah, blah
Player commitment, blah, blah, blog

Etc.

rushing record affects two people, how many does a better OS affect?Bill Gates would welcome that. terrible analogy

Maybe Dickerson and members of the Miami Dolphins undefeated team can get to get at the end of the season to celebrate every time their record remains in tack...records are meant to be broken.

I really wish Zeke would have destroyed his record, but putting team first is the right thing to do.

Gold jackets get hall passes in general as far as I am concerned. They have usually earned the right to say what is on their mind.

I really wish Zeke would have destroyed his record, but putting team first is the right thing to do.

Me too, I hope to see him get the other record sometime within the next couple years.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Me too, I hope to see him get the other record sometime before his career is over.

I believe Zeke not getting the record cost him the ROY award.
