You damn well know what I meant, doomsay. Big difference between me mistakenly wording something, and you trying to make a correlation between two entirely different things. Sorry. I know you're trying to save face, but you can't on this one.

Really, because you were making a counter economic argument using the $9 mm that we were paying TO this year to prop up your position, so it doesn't appear to be a typo. Kind of the response you can expect when labeling someone else (or their post) an idiot.

cool man. Was this the first time you saw it...I am assuming it is.....

I like to go up there and just drive around the block! It is so cool to see it from all the different angles.

You can see it clear from the guitar center across I-30...Coming out of whole foods it just jumps out in the skyline!

this fall is going to be fabulous.
Yeah, I was up visiting family and we went to 6 flags. I drove around it about 5 times throughout the day -- I couldn't stop going back to it.

No he didnt. The citizens of Arlington are picking up quite a bit of the stadium tab.

I should have clarified. The citizens of Arlington picked up around 28% of the overall tab based on their commitment to what, $350 or $375 Million?

Jerry financed the remainder.

I forget the exact quote, but he said something like "they should never give anyone like me an open line of credit on a project like this. I see things that could be added on, and I'm an add-on'er."

What? I was making the comment because it cut into our cap. We didn't, and don't, have a ton of cap room. I'm not sure who you thought we'd break the bank for in FA, but like I said, I'm just glad you're not our GM.

You seem to be still confused on the cash vs. cap thing, but are at least consistent with not wanting me as GM, got it. Also, please don't compare Jerry's strategic ability to release players at the appropriate time with the likes of the Patriots and the Steelers based upon his latest 180 in the cost cutting department. And, don't forget that it was Jerry that gave TO $13 million in guaranteed money less than a year ago.
