By all means, use it over there if you wish.

I try to tread lightly over there these days Hos... but I may in fact need to borrow this one. Well done.

I understand.

It's yours if you want it.

 

[firehawk350]

Firehawk do you post at ES?

No, I have two posts over there to my name (firehawk157) and generally don't like the mob rules over there. Well the mob when it's pro-Commander. I get the hint if I criticized the Skins, I would get banned. No thanks.

They still won't understand, Hostile! No matter how they shop, if they buy potted meat or bologna they will still call it steak!!

It's a losing battle with those nimwits...

Well then, you don't have to worry, right? I mean, you never do...so?

:laugh2:

Try hailredskins.com, that's where I post. I've heard good things about warpath.net (or com, I'm not 100% on it) as well.

 

[firehawk350]

On here, not really. I try to keep my critcism light because anything negative I say towards the Commanders would be blown way out of proportion and taken as the gospel truth ("even Commanders fans think their franchise sucks!!!!11one!"). I also don't comment on threads that I don't believe to be egregiously erroneous.

 

[firehawk350]

well, there's a fraction of fans who are that way i'm sure. maybe a larger one than i'd even guess. but a vast majority can take the "team colored" glasses off for awhile and know where things sit and don't have to spin it to their favor.

but yea, there's always the jr high mindset of "my team is better than your team and it doesn't matter why, it just is". i'm sure their superfriends underoos with the little feet on them looks good at the team practices they watch from afar.

There's a bit of homerism in everybody honestly. It's just not something you can look at completely objectively. Stats aren't all that good at projecting performance either, so everyone will be slightly biased. However, like you say, a vast majority can admit flaws and faults and not spin bad moves. But there are the delusional as well.

Here's an analogy that even the simplest minded people should be able to grasp. It's about food storage.

Consumer A has a large pantry and keeps it stocked an rotated with a steady supply of food. He does this in case of an emergency, buys on sale, and is constantly looking ahead.

Consumer B waits until there is speculation that stores will not be able to sell food because the computers will nto know how to handle the Y2K date and goes out with other panic shoppers and buys despite high prices.


In the end, both have the same amount of food. Does anyone really think how they acquired the food is exactly equal and equally smart? Seriously?


That's the difference between how the two clubs are handling the Cap. One is patiently looking ahead and keeping the Cap managed. The other one waits until the last minute and then has to scramble like mad to make it.

Not the best, because the Skins problem hasn't been cap management, it's been talent evaluation. If anything 06 and 07 were the worst FA markets to be in and Dallas has been spending a lot of money lately on contracts. I think a better analogy is Washington buys all the wrong groceries. We'll buy hamburger and hot dog buns... But you'd have a lot more credibility with analogy like that if you applied it to the Raiders.

I will resist the dig that you set yourself up so perfectly for.

I can't resist it. You mean rotten hamburger and moldy hot dog buns:laugh2:

I read about the first ten pages. Usually I don't bother with ES, I simply don't have the patience to wade through the muck to find something worth reading.

But as I was reading this thread, I really kept thinking to myself "Why don't they understand what is being said? This is so simple." Maybe I've just read too much of Adams' cap information over the years, both here and on KFFL, and I can understand the cap rules somewhat easily.

What I can't understand, though, is how some people can be so incredibly dense, and I'm not only referring to tr1 and bubba. They are unique in their... dispositions, and I know many Skins fans are not akin to them. But, here someone is actively trying to educate them on the cap, and he is figuratively booed by most, although not all. It boggles me.

Sometimes I wonder if CBZ looks like ES to fans of other teams. I can't say for sure, as I am not one, but things definitelly seem a bit more civil and informative here.

There's some parallels, but very few sites rival ES in those regards. Still, you have the bleeding moron homers here that don't get called down, it comes with the territory.

I'll bet you that more Cowboy fans around here that go to the extreme get jumped on by other Cowboy fans TONS more than over there at ES!

On ES if somone says that Snyder said the sky is green...well, ******...it is GREEN!

Not here...I've seen it and participated in the beat down of Cowboy fans that say the craziest crap about our team...so have others.

Don't go there...

That's what got me banned last week. An *** Cowboy fan jumped into a discussion I was having with some sort of garbage about me giving Cowboy fans a bad name.
I wanted to ring his freakin neck. Since I couldn't, I did the next worse thing and told him to stop "sucking up to the Commanders trash".......
that got me a 30 day ban.

This thread's been updated on ES, for those who are following it. The ES mods are in a delimma: Adam's given them no reason for banning, yet he's singlehandedly embarrassing their board which is a bannable offense in any realistic interpretation of their convoluted policies. Some facts get ignored over and over again, and hilarity ensues. Highly recommended reading for anyone not nauseated by the horrific ES site color scheme.

And, on cue, the ES mods come in and start threatening to lock the thread. Sadly, they don't have the stones to call a TKO. This would just be an unexplained thread-lock.

The Mods have finally closed the thread a.k.a. throwing in the towel for TR1 and Bubba. I guess they figured enough of the embarresment Adam was dishing out.
