Nors consolidation and predictions!

[BrAinPaiNt]

BNA... Even though I'm one of the main culprits when it comes to doing battle with Nors, I do like the guy (in a purely heterosexual way so don't get any ideas!)...

He does though lose a point or two with me by putting BZ on ignore and not being man enough to get some of the stuff back he dishes out but it's not a perfect world is it?

 

[Hostile]

Lets air them here - keep the bashing centralized!

It's not bashing. You take everything way too personal. Let's analyze some of these claims. If someone disagrees with you that is NOT bashing. Grow up or get a pacifier to calm your nerves.

You know why I never accuse you of bashing me when you disagree with what I have to say? Because you can't prove me wrong. Two years and undefeated, owner of the Nors Cup.

*Carter to start over Hutch - Nors correct

Actually that's only half of what you predicted. You predicted Carter would be good and all kinds of stuff. Let's be honest. He wasn't good.

Half credit, and I feel really generous giving it.

*Glenn to be a stud project - Check

Not doubting you but am also wondering where this was? I flat out don't remember this so it is doubtful it was something you harped on that people got fed up with.

Full credit, but with some doubt it was ever a topic.

*Going into 2004 we would play both 4-3 and 3-4 - Check

Though you were shown dozens of links proving that all teams run a variety of schemes including both of these you enver ackowledged it at all. In other words this prediction is a "so what?" I notice you are leaving out the players you were preaching needed to use the 3-4. Bunch of scrubs who were big.

No credit, because all teams run multiple schemes and sets. There's nothing ground breaking about this prediction. You want full credit? Show me where the year before Parcells arrived we never used a 3-4 scheme at any point in the season.

*Ty Law trade on the table - Pats a #1, Dallas offered #2 - check

No sir. I'm not about to give you credit for this one. There is not a shred of proof. In fact, now that the man is free we still haven't jumped to sign him. Making the claim we were willing to part with a 2nd even more dubious.

No credit.

I was wrong in that we did not trade for Law[/quoe]I'd give you a standing ovation if you'd admit you pushed Law on everyone too hard and regret it.

*We would sign George to be Jones backup - check

You also said he'd be good. He wasn't. He was awful.

Half credit. Again feeling generous.

*Predicted Key for Galloway trade - check

So did the entire NFL media and fandom.

No credit.

*Predicted a no risk signing for depth - Eaton - check

Again, you also predicted he'd be good. He wasn't.

Half credit.

*Was never happy with thought of VT starting - check

That had more to do with the tantrum you through over Carter's not fulfilling your predictions than anythign else.

Half credit.

*Predicted RCB implosion without Law trade - check

I must feel charitable.

Full credit, even though there's no evidence you predicted an "implosion." Better with Law? Yeah, I'd give you that. Show me where you predicted an "implosion."

*Mid season called out fiasco/bust in Gurode and Right side of line - check - funny but there was some initial contesting of that one. misread stats - flamed out

Half credit. There were stats showing better success to both sides depending on play call.

*Correctly predicted Romo would beat out Henson to start season as backup

Refused to even acknowledge that Parcells said Henson was 3rd team for reps purposes or that Henson would actually end up being the starter.

Half credit.

*Shanle as a player (took Singletons job late in season)

Oh my gosh. Are you really going to sit there and try to claim credit for this when the reason was that Singleton got injured?

No credit.

I will give you credit for gall though. That took real gall.

*In Januray told you Bledsoe being shopped - a Cowboy to be - check

Media outlets were already reporting this.

Half credit.

*Predicted 3-4 Move in spite of Ellis, Glover, Howard, small LB factions

Another huge reach. You predicted Jason Gildon would be signed the day he was available, etc. Two years of broken records and the 3-4 still hasn't been announced.

The only thing different about it's possibility now...We did what your "bashers" have said for 2 years and got the personnel. Yeah, you deserve way more credit than them, I mean us.

Half credit, again feeling generous.

*Predicted major 3-4 draft - check

When don't you predict this? Or Free Agency either?

Do you want a medal, a brownie button, or a chest to pin it on?

Has the defensive switch to 3-4 been announced? I must have missed that. How did Glover take his being benched?

No credit, because I gave you credit in the prediction above. It evens out.

Merriman over Ware, and Spears were my 3 favorite targets round 1

You also claimed it was "idiotic" to consider Ware over Merriman and you started a thread to stop people from discussing it.

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24175

Told me to "book it" that if both were available Merriman was the pick.

Where did Heath Miller fit into those 3?

Not telling the truth here.

*Scoffed at the Howard trade - nothing ever there - check ++++

Jerry Jones himself said there was interest right up until the draft fell our way.

Half credit and that is generous.

*Was never pro Lee at RB - check

No, you were pro Eddie George and he sucked.

Half credit.

*Thomas Davis at 20 a thought - he went top 15, Miller at #42, he went first round.....

How are these guys Merriman, Ware or Spears?

Contradicting yourself in the same thread.

Full credit, for what I don't know. You had 6 draft picks to get 2 right? Not sure why this is so amazing.

Funny how I'm "perceived" as ALWAYS WRONG! Bring it - post my misses and I'll address or admit ills of merit!

I have never perceived you as always wrong. Whiny and a broken record...yeah, that shoe fits.

Gotta disagree with you on that one. They both should put each other on ignore. It would be wise for both to do this.

Yeah, but think of all the "fun" we'll miss.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

This springs to mind....and this thread would seem to be the opposite of these words...

The money is in the mail for the kind words....

And it wasn't even a 3-4 or Ty Law banning. Some funny stuff but now I've served my time and am ready to be a serious and productive member to this board, no kidding.

Things that make you go...Hmmmm

 

[dargonking999]

Hostile dont you get enough of man-handling Nors,

 

[Hostile]

Yeah, but think of all the "fun" we'll miss.

True that.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Yeah, but think of all the "fun" we'll miss.

You call it fun?

I call it irritation and immature the way they go at each other.

There is nothing wrong with doing battle with Nors. If you can admit you're wrong when you're wrong, then just admit it and move on. That's where the problem lies with some of the anti-Nors people. They'll try to spin things to prove their point when Nors was right all along.

I've got a feeling some of these anti-Bledso/pro-Henson people are going to do just that.

I think that Parcells thinks Henson is a clown even though the man says otherwise. It's not so much me that feels this way. It's the vibe I get from Parcells.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'll admit it. But that doesn't seem to be the case with some people.

He does though lose a point or two with me by putting BZ on ignore and not being man enough to get some of the stuff back he dishes out but it's not a perfect world is it?

Well, Blind is the kind of guy that makes you want to ignore him. You don't see him making any predictions or giving any real insight. You just hear him trying to poke holes in what someone had the nads to say. I don't have him on ignore yet, but I can see why Nors does.

I only have one person on ignore, and that's due to plain ignorance and redundance. This person fails to factor in any real logic behind their "opinions" posted on this board. I can handle someone disagreeing, but having no true perception of what's really going is irritating to me. Thus the reason he's on ignore.

 

[Crown Royal]

This thread reminded me of a terrific Greek myth, about Echo and Narcissus. Nors, you remind me of Narcissus. If you don't know him, I would suggest reading about it. (BTW - Great responses by Reality and Hostile.)

 

[MichaelWinicki]

You call it fun?

I call it irritation and immature the way they go at each other.

I know of someone on this board that is far more irritating than the Nors/BZ battles....


And "no" it's not you Brain! LOL!

Nors cup envy - fence rider.

Well, Blind is the kind of guy that makes you want to ignore him. You don't see him making any predictions or giving any real insight.

Just want to address one thing here. You call out someone for not making predictions. So what? A great deal of us place no value in predictions. In matters, such as football, predictions are nothing more than guesses. Who care's if you 'predicted' something? There is no way that people here (save maybe Dale, Brown Sugar) know enough pertinent information to predict things.

For instance, I talk football. The most predicting I will do is is rank teams according to offseason moves by division. And I am more than liable to be wrong. If this board is a prediction machine, where the best members are those who guess better than others, then I respectfully request to be banned.

If anyone here is capable of predicting something regarding the Cowboys and truly believes in this psychic gift, without fallibility, then I suggest you move to Vegas.

I know of who you speak of....and believe me if I had the ability to put people on ignore...there would be more then a couple of people on my list. lol.

I guess that is one of those "perks" of being a mod, you have to read peoples posts, even when you don't really want to read them.

I will say that not all, but quite a few of the predictions that you listed above were fairly obvious to most. at least i know i would have agreed with many of them if i was posting at that time, and i dont conside myself to be an "insider" or think that i am an expert in these matters at all. making predictions is fun, but when you rant over and over again people get sick of reading the same thing and that is why they flame you when you are wrong, because they are already agitated with you. i dont know how often you are right or wrong because i am relatively new to this board (2 months) and it is likely that you are right more than you are wrong if you spend a lot of time reasearching and reading up on what the cowboys are doing. But why keep posting the same things over and over, i know that anyone is entitled to post anytime about anything as long as they keep it clean, not arguing that, i just dont understand why the need to say it over and over again. you are well known on this board, people will remember and take note of what you say without you going to excess.

Hostile dont you get enough of man-handling Nors,

Maybe you could convince him how bad he loses. I've tried. He doesn't get it.

It's not you either.
