Local Virginia Radio Laughing At Our Choice

[silverbear]

Look friend, I'm doing my best to walk the line here. I'm simply reporting what they're saying here in "Commanders territory". I insulted no one & provided some fresh info. I think you're out of line trashing my every post. This is the hot topic of the day. All we're hearing is opinions, mine included. Lay off. Are you such a homer that you can't tolerate any negativity that's out there? It is out there, like it or not.

Then cite your sources... I challenge you to do that because I know the backgrounds of some of the sports talk types in the Metro area, and I know that a LOT of them are former Skins, and are definitely drinking the burgundy and gold kool-aid...

For example, if it's Rick "Doc" Walker, that guy has NEVER had a positive thing to say about the Boys... he hates them, and makes absolutely no bones about hating him (which makes him a bit easier to take, knowing that he's little more than YOU, with a mic)...

Richmond, VA, 910AM FOX, Mike Maniscalko. I made up nothing.

ROTFLMAO... the same Mike Maniscalko who is assigned to cover the University of Virginia, and has trashed them to the extent that he is literally DESPISED by the students at that fine university?? Trashed the Hoos even though they're currently shocking the entire ACC by leading the freakin' league, after being picked to finish 8th??

THAT Mike Maniscalko?? And here I thought you had somebody SERIOUS...

Silly me...

Seriously, only YOU would make a big deal out of what that moron says...

 

[silverbear]

You strike me as a diehard homer. The pick is being trashed nationally as well on FOX & ESPN. Just turn on your radio. It's just uninformed opinion for the most part, time will tell the story. Better get ready for a lot of trashing of Phillips over the next few days. People aren't impressed--doesn't make them right or wrong. Let's just hope Phillips fields a better team than Parcells next year.

If it "doesn't make them right or wrong", why are you reposting their stupidity??

Do you often express viewpoints that you don't personally advocate?? Of course you don't, which means that your posting these "opinions" is your SANCTIONING those opinions...

 

[silverbear]

Gosh, aren't most of the threads today on this very topic? You like the hire, I'm indifferent to/dislike it.

"Indifferent"?? Gawd, what a LIAR you are... NOBODY spends as much time and bandwidth trashing a move he's "indifferent" about as you have here...

Better have some thick skin, because a lot of second guessing is on it's way. Be prepared.

So, are we to anticipate a flood of posts from you every time ANYBODY has something negative to say about the hiring of Wade Phillips?? What's next, prowling other message board to find morons who think the same way you do, and are equally fond of ranting into the night??

 

[silverbear]

The name is right there in front of you.

So, instead of MULTIPLE sources, as you insinuated at first, you have ONE source??

Just another bit of dishonesty from ya...

 

[silverbear]

Actually, I think Norval or Gibbs would have been better hires.

Chuckle... then why, pray tell, were you trashing Norv before Wade was announced??

That is simply my OPINION. Why are you getting so bent out of shape?

Because for some time now, you've been acting like a card-carrying jerk, almost a freakin' troll... and a lot of us are gettin' past sick of your BS...

Your problem is not me or any of the other thousand posters you seem to have annoyed here lately, it's that you appear to be stepping on the last nerve of some of the mods in here, judging by the number of threads initiated by you that we've seen locked down...

Not everyone thinks this is a good hire, fanwise or in the press. That's fact.

So this means we should have to sit through 11 thousand threads started by you, outlining the criticisms of a bunch of know-nothing MEDIOTS??

SB, you do know there is a multi-quote option right.

Beat 'em all down in one magnificent, "you got jacked up" type of post.

 

[silverbear]

The guy is in Richmond now, I don't like him myself, but he is trashing the Phillips hiring. He covered the Bills back when Wade was coaching there. Anyone saying there's no bad reaction to all this is out of their mind.

"The guy" is a Skip Bayless wannabe, who is generally held in high contempt on the campus of the University of Virginia... IOW, he's a flippin' JOKE as a sports analyst...

But you accept what he says without question, if only because it fits neatly into your preconceived notions... of course, if he says something that sounds like what you'd say, that does a pretty thorough job of destroying his credibility in here too, inasmuch as you have none...

 

[zrinkill]

almost a freakin' troll...

Almost?

He even had the Mods making fun of him .......

 

[silverbear]

Because after the music city miracle the owner wanted him to fire the ST coach (make him a scapegoat)


Phillips refused to be the owners puppet so he was fired

Hmmm, Wade got fired because he REFUSED to be a puppet... yet some in here would have you believe that Jerry hired him because he'd be just that for him-- a puppet...

I need to mention also that if Philo doesn't even know what got Wade fired up in Buffalo, that pretty much proves that his "football knowledge" exists mostly in his own mind...

Slow down Silverbear.

You are going to sprain your wrist, stove your finger and burn your keyboard up if you keep going. :

 

[silverbear]

I am a Cowboy fan and I'm not a "Norv guy" at all. The truth is I'm not happy with the hiring of Phillips. I see it as a stale, dull choice. I think we'd have been better served luring a Bobby Petrino or Bob Stoops here and changing things up.

Then you set your own self up for a BIG disappointment, since Jerry clearly outlined from the start that he wanted a coach with head coaching experience IN THE NFL...

The thing is, he was RIGHT to set that as a standard, even if you can't figure it out; if he had a team in dire straits, one that might need to be blown up and started from scratch, then you can justify taking a chance on a college coach, gamble that he can translate his game from the NCAA to the NFL... exactly as Jerry did when he hired Jimmy...

But like with top college players, some top college coaches can make the switch, and some can't... so if you're an owner with what you honestly believe to be a GOOD team, and you need to make a switch, you don't gamble on a college coach...

Are other opinions just more valuable than my own?

It really isn't so much what you're saying, it's the way you've made like 400 posts all b*tching about the same thing over the last week or so...

Personally, I think Jones dropped the ball.

And I think we figured out what you think on this subject about 300 posts ago... I find myself wondering if you think about ANYTHING else...

are u in tune with sports talk 980?? those guys are morons

I'm sure you're trying to make a point, but you haven't made one simply by dowplayIng the credibility of the guys on Sports Talk 980.

I live in the Washington DC Metropolitan area also, and I listen to 980. Here's some things that should be pointed out ...

- Name the guys specifically that you refer to

- Sports Talk is on 24 hours ...with multiple programs including ...the
Brian williams Show, the Coach John Thompson Show, the Tony
Kornheiser show,and the Sports Reporters.

- Sports Talk does not always talk exclusively about the Dallas Cowboys

Here's the Point, simply because we disagree with some of the things that Sports Talk 980 says ...does Not interpret into the whole 980 crew being moronic.

Just some food for thought

LOL... I get longwinded enough as it is, NOBODY would ever read my posts all the way to the bottom if I did that...

And I couldn't jack up my post count that way...

 

[SkinsandTerps]

I think SB is so used to old school style that he is stuck on page whatever with only 10 posts per thread as his settings.

Keep rippin' 'em SB. Its certainly entertaining.

When was the last time you listened to 980?

If you knew how flippin' SICK I am while typing this, you'd be even more concerned... had an attack of vertigo set in at work night before last, about 3 AM... spent the rest of the night upchucking into a trash can... missed work last night, in fact I haven't been long out of bed at all in these past 36 hours... I NEVER miss work, this is like my 3rd sick day in 7 years...

So raggin' on Philo is takin' my mind off how DIZZY I am (though to be honest, the last hour or so I'm startin' to feel like I might live, and I plan on makin' it to work tonight)...

And what effective therapy this is proving to be, LOL...

Naw, I use 40 posts per thread... wouldn't even want to try to work my way through some of these threads at 10 posts per page...

Now that part of it I get. Although, I personally feel compelled to read the multi-quote posts, because typically that poster is better versed and makes good points. They are taking on all comers saying flat out..."this is my opinion/point".


PT, People lump Eagles fans into a group because of a few fans too. Dont get caught up in that crap.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

When was the last time you listened to 980?

I listen to Sports Talk 980 everyday On the way to work very early in the mornings. I don't listen to 908 simply to hear dirt slinging. They are a great source of information about sports (all sports), and scroes from the previous night games.

Admittedly, they are soewhat biased toward local teams; but isn't that the case in most places. I'm not buying into the all 980 staff are morons.
