Interesting Piece On All This Elliott Fiasco

So I guess his style turns some of you off. Others like it.

I just want to know if he’s credible. The fact he was ,
the only one correct about Zeke playing last week is making me pay attention.

Aw,who the hell cares what those wannabe refined literary snob clods view as quality prose ,,,

I sure the hell don't

dude looks like tom arnold to me...........

I never said I didn't believe the guy.

I just said that I find it strange that a lawyer writes like a middle school girl who just got dumped by her boyfriend.

Maybe, just maybe wolf6-3,,, he's merely pre-blended it for a 100% mental grasp that a larger majority of sports aficionados could find more digestible whether they deem tasteful or unpalatable,,,
just saying

If you want an excellent, lawyer like review of the case and the problems within it, go read Amy Dash's blog.

She lays out all the problems without the wacky conspiracies.

Amy Dash made reference to Tom Stokes' blog/ twitter posts a few times in recent days.

He says he's not a lawyer, but studied some law. Not sure if that means he actually spent some time in law school, read a book on law, or watched "My Cousin Vinny", but I'd bet on the latter.

This article could have easily been written by any number of CZ members -- and that is not intended as slight to either our members or the author. I am simply observing that his "connect-the-dot" logic is consistent with many, many similar comments on this site.

What does it all mean? Who knows, but I do find it refreshing that someone outside this circle, someone outside of Cowboy fandom made these points

If you want to be taken seriously, you have to write above a 5th grade level and show more polish and balance than a teenager who just got grounded.

Sorry erod, but writers dumb it down because the perception, or misperception is the reading public doesn't have the attention span of a gnat. How many times have you seen a long write-up here and several people reply tldr?

A prime example of this is Stephen King. He can write, but his writing, like most best sellers, is geared toward a sixth grader.

This guy is using street conversation to spice up the subjects he deal with. Gets attention and market share.

...and carries no credibility. That's the problem.

That may be the best skit of all time.

Don’t forget Vinny helped The Karate Kid beat the wrap.

But it was the woman (whom I'm still in love with) behind the man that gave the critical testimony.

Maybe he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express

i'm still not ready to call this guy credible yet. he was right about Zeke playing last Sunday though even though practically 99% of the planet was sure otherwise.

i'm paying attention to his "predictions" at least

She still looks good.

I’m in the same place. He seems out there. At the same time he was right and is COMPLETELY confident in his prediction.

Mona Lisa Vito - gorgeous!

Mona Lisa Vito:
No, there's more! You see where the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

Classic!
