Some quotes that are good for a laugh

[thewireman]

I rarely go to ES but when I do its the same crap from this guy TR1. I seriously think he works for the Skins office. What 52 year old man is that starved for attention from a message board unless hes paid to be that way

 

[FCBarca]

You have homers in every teams fan base, but the Skins are worse than homers. They are straight ingnorant and mindless football spectators.

Something about DC, I think

 

[JonCJG]

They have now started the new streak chant. 4 out of 6

Wow.

 

[Idgit]

It's institutionalized insecurity. tr1 is playing a character and makes stuff up until he finds someone to take him seriously. Ignore him. Bubba is just a die hard fan who's not all that bright. He follows tr1 around and generally agrees with him, which makes his opinion a cartoon, too. Someone in one of the endless ES Cowboys thread described these two best:

But it's all in fun, I think. Nobody on that board really believes that nonsense.

 

[adamknite]

Whatever happened to that guy who claimed to be TR1 on these boards, said he was really a cowboys fan and tried to convince us to "accept him". Anybody remember that?

Or have I lost my mind?

 

[Vintage]

LOL....

Nah. We aren't obsessed with ES....

I Bleed B&G

Hostile owned him so bad he ran away without being banned

 

[InmanRoshi]

Also restructuring Romo is a skins move which makes us just as bad as the Skins FO.

Drafting, developing and retaining Pro Bowl talent in-house is the exact opposite of what the Skins FO does.

 

[superpunk]

Posters on a Commanders fan site have derogatory things to say about our personnel moves?

This is more shocking than that time I found out Meryl Streep was a woman!

I'm sure there were plenty of quotes that said it was a good move, and they wish the Skins would keep their talent instead of letting it walk to sign older talent, and so on and so forth.

My suggestion would be to just not visit ES. When you visit ES, the terrorists win.

Ok -- when was the last time the Commanders let a Pro-Bowl talent walk away?

They didn't sign Dockery to an insane deal -- was he a Pro Bowler? The last one I can think of is Pierce, after the 2004 season. They locked Cooley, Taylor (RIP) and Betts up to very good deals. They didn't go crazy after Asante Samuel, or any of the severly overrated FAs this year. They made huge mistakes with AA and BL and Duckett in '06, and it cost them. However, in '07 they made very smart moves. As much as they get derided for being a thin team, they still had enough depth to make the playoffs despite missing 6 starters (Campbell -- do me a favor, and save me the Collins talk, he didn't face a pass defense higher then 25th I believe -- Jansen, R. Thomas, McIntosh, Taylor and Rogers).

While they have certainly made a ton of mistakes, for the paucity of picks, they have drafted VERY well the past couple years. And they had a very good draft this year -- we'll see how it plays out, but they got some outstanding value.

Champ Bailey, Stephen Davis, and Antonio Pierce comes to mind immediately.

Champ Bailey, Stephen Davis, and Antonio Pierce coems to mind immediately.

You're absolutely right:

The last one I can think of is Pierce, after the 2004 season.

Bailey was traded -- albiet they should have received a 2nd rnd pick instead of giving one up -- for Portis. Who has been the catalyst for two runs to the playoffs in his time here. So it's not like they let him walk away for nothing.

And Davis was in 2003, under Spurrier's regime.

Most of these arguments are based in 2004 and before, and aren't what's going on now.

TR1 is simply an attention *****, an idiot, or both. He claims to be a huge Foreskin fan, yet 99% of his posts are Cowboy-related. His agenda is obvious. I seriously doubt he even has a job because all he seems to do is look for Cowboy-related information that he can spin. He posts crap, and then sits and waits for Cowboy fans to pounce. The problem is when Cowboy fans smack him stupid for his ridiculous posts, Jumbo and the other idiot moderators ban them for "violating the rules". I guess TR1, Bubba (TR1s boyfriend and emotional supporter), and the rest of the Merry Band of Idiots are immune from being banned. The real issue I have is why Dallas fans continually stay on the Foreskin board and kiss the ***** of the mods that reside there. It's pretty pathetic really. Grow a set guys, and let those reality-starved idiots post ridiculous crap amongst themselves. They get their jollies by baiting Dallas fans and then watching them get mad, and then banned. It's so damn obvious. If Dallas fans didn't post there, the board would simply die due to lack of interest.

I am guess you're another one who was banned for "no reason?" The funny thing is, you're doing exactly what tr1 wants. He is an instigator, nothing more. tr1 gets more abuse, while deservedly so, and less support from the mods b/c he starts every situation he gets into. He opens the door. I don't see that at all.

What do you expect? It's a Commanders board! What do you want, 'Skins fans to bow down and sing the praises of the Cowboys?

You've clearly missed many of the very good debates there. I've had several long, and sometimes heated -- but all in good fun, conversations with very long-standing, knowledgeable 'Boys fans. The only fans that get banned there are the ones who aren't interested in argument and only want to stir up trouble.

And if I came here stirring up a hornets nest and expecting people to bow down and kiss the Skins arse, one, I would be completely delusional, and two, I wouldn't be here for very long. I know full well I am a guest here and try to actaccordingly.

I never would have traded a top CB, much less with a day 1 Draft pick thrown in.

And Davis was in 2003, under Spurrier's regime.

Trung Canidate was a friend of mine from UA. I still couldn't understand that move.

The most baffling thing to me lately was your coaching search.

Maroon, black and yellow is classic.

Yes, they overpaid for Portis. While not an excuse, people don't realize that Bailey did not want to be in Washington. Hell, they never should have gotten rid of Schotty. I really liked the team (sans Tony Banks) at the end of that year.

I was beating my head on the desk at that search. While I like what Zorn is implementing so far, he's going to have to win A LOT of games to live that one down!

Clearly you don't even pay much attention to your own team's board. There have been many Cowboy fans that have been banned simply for arguing football. They are banned simply because they do not walk the line and agree with TR1, Bubba, and the rest of the crew. I know it to be a fact. If you want to deny it, you're just as stupid as the rest on that board.

You know, you're absolutely right -- that MUST be the reason for the many, many more Cowboys fans on ES then Skins fans here. There's just no intelligent discussion over there whatsoever. And you know what -- I've been banned from there before. For calling a Cowboys fan a *******, repeatedly. So take that for what it's worth.

Some people just need to be ignored...

I agree about Marty-ball.

Zorn will never live that down in my eyes. If a Cowboys fan says something like that, no one cares. The Head Coach is a totally different situation. A highlight of my off season. I had tears in my eyes from laughing at my friend James over that. His cussing tirade was classic.
