There is at least one in every crowd. Then again we are talking about Garrett.

I know what you mean, and usually a prelude to try to "teach" the forum into their perspective.

Eh, I use “many on this board” quite a bit. Perhaps I should clarify “many active posters on this board”.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Many on this board agree with the OP.

Active in what?? Don't answer that!! LOL

Active in what?? Don't answer that!! LOL

I don’t know what would make me more happy. Garrett winning the SB next year because the Cowboys get another ring or out of spite of you

If he wins a ring I'll kiss his butt better than Idgit ever has!

Most.

There's a significant difference between, "Many on this board" and "A large percentage of this board". "Many" is a subjective term. For instance, if 2 people here would be willing to kill someone for a Kit Kat bar, I'd say that constitutes "many"...Whereas, if 2 people here thought Jessica Alba was hot, I'd say that doesn't seem like many.

Runny's right. Many is subjective....thought I'd classify it at anything above 5 or so.

OMG, that mind of yours makes me wonder.

That's why I say "some fans here."
