Drew Pearson says "TO has been fine" w/ Cowboys

[bbgun]

Who got to you Drew? Who??

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Thanks, just wanted to see the 'most' wasn't an always.

You are welcome.

With all due respect LTN.... "always" wasnt used in the start of this thread. You could have clarified that by just reading the very first post in the thread.

or did you need me to post the same thing twice?

I didn't see it in the thread title...hence the confusion.

It finally hit me what your zone persona reminds me of. The Fountainhead's Ellsworth Toohey. Cause we know you don't like an indiviual like Howard Roark.

TO is now Howard Roark?

Everybody had their fling with Ayn Rand back in high school.

Then they grew up, and realized the only ubermensch are in Nietzsche.

And in "graphic novels".

Tho I must say A man who has taken four separate teams to the NFL playoffs, and rebuilt four pitiful rosters, is darn close. In football terms, that is.

Ayn could weave a pretty tale tho, I will give her that.

What the heck are you two talking about? Who are those guys?

Fictitious characters.

There is a famous novelist named Ayn Rand who became popular in the Cold war era with her 'philosophy" that great men are what matter, not social movements, not the flow of history and the forces of it. She saw great individuals as the world's only savior from 'collectivism', ie, the reign of the common man via democracy, It was an elitist diatribe, of course. She was an extremist in her own way - just as much as the collectivists she hated, and a lot of young people tend to become infatuated with her ideas when they're about, uhh 17.

She was also a MARVELOUS story teller. Never taken seriously in the literary world, but a real keen developer of characters, if not character.

Wrote two Grade-A soap operas in the Harold Robbins vein, just with less sex.

The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. The first was about a brilliant architect and the second about a collection of wealthy superkind who one day just decided to stop supporting the working class slugs.

Now TO is a perfect character for her novels as his supreme talents set him above the 'rules and limits" of the mere mortals.

If only Ayn had been a football fan!

Don't jump to that conclusion. I said your persona not once did I mention TO....And no To is not Howard Roark. I meant the collectivism you preach over indiviualism.


I tell you...You can't get that man off your mind.

Of course, as a FOOTBALL FAN I "preach collectivism over individualism", believing you need 53 to work as well oiled machine wil get you farther than one superstar. When it comes to a non-team sport, like tennis? Not an issue.

I tell you...You can't get that man off your mind.

Me and LBOH. Totally obsessed and for the same reasons.

Are you working, btw?

I also think it was more of an economic philosophy than a social structure.

Because even FED chairman were fans ala Greenspan.

I wonder if T.O. has read those books? If not....? Maybe he should?

It was a response to soviet-style socialism, and to western european social democracy. And most meaningful philosophies are materialist, ie economics (resources) driven.

I first read the Fountainhead at about 14. Made an enormous impression on me, as Rand did to millions. I am not surprised Greenspan found his own connection with her ideas. The list of her devotees included many 'famous' folks, but inevitably, her ideas fell into the 'extremist' bin where most Cold War warriors on both sides ended up.

Before this gets too 'political'...I highly recommend her as a novelist. She took a beating among lit crits for her stereotypes, but the gal could write!

What do athlete mean?

Here's the issue. If we go 3 wide and run the back into the flats everyone will be tied up. Then you hit TO on a quick slant and laugh at the corner trying to follow him for large gain after large gain. It seems elementary. Especially when it was displayed so beautifully in San Fran for years.

But we have not done that. owens has been on a few slants, not enough but a few. He has both caught the ball and dropped it looking for the hit.I guess it's no different than him running the side lines.

The odds of his bustin one vs the chances of his shortarming them must be setting the coaching staff aglow.

As I've mentioned before, you get more moxie with # 83, on any part of the field.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Ok... I dont know so I am asking....

These "alligator arms"...just another thing wrong with TO..... Have they been on slant patterns or on throws across the middle where he was heading into a hit?

I am seriously asking?

Why is it that when owens does some thing like not exactly willing to take the punishment some times, is it a knock on him? Owens doesn't like contact unless he initiates it. There are Rs who don't worry about it. Irvin,Glenn and Key come to mind. His alligator arms can be any time he has a DB or LB that has a shot at him. That is different than running along side of him covering.

Only one person exudes moxie on the field and it's not #83 or #81.
