It isn't something to brag about.jrockster77 said:Phew! I'm relieved to see its not just me. But then again, maybe we're all just "wired" the same way....
riggo said:you'll find this with some posters. its not you... in case you were wondering.
its amazing what one grasps at after one bad season.
Hostile said:Dude, wat is up with the indicator of 2006 season? Where does that come from?
Do you know what "living in the past" even is? It means hanging on to thing slong gone. Like Super Bowl XXVII or XXII. When people tell you or me to "quit living in the past" about our respective teams it is about the pride we have in those games.
jrockster77 said:Ummm...you're the one with a limited understanding of the phrase. "Using the past to alleviate current circumstances" is the meaning of "living in the past," in the context of my post. SB22 and the 5 Cowboy superbowls are hardly current, as you yourself have pointed out many, many times.
So on one hand you're gushing about the 2nd quarter of Super Bowl 22. And in the next statement you're telling someone to "stop living in the past."
That doesn't strike you as just the least bit ironic? For the love of clear thought why?

Yeah with Joe's Drafting habits maybe that is the best thing for you...jrockster77 said:Its a simple philosophy...trade a draft pick or two for a proven talent, or use that pick on a potential bust. One method guarantees you'll get someone who can perform at the NFL level, and one method guarantees nothing.
Joe and the Skins just opt for the safe-bet...and I'm fine with that!
No, I'm genuinely amused.jrockster77 said:Are you intentionally being obtuse??

5Stars said:Let me answer that question for Hostile..if he don't mind?
Yeah, Hostile is being obtuse...! He's a troll!
:dissskin:
Why is that uninformed? I think uninformed, is Joe on Draft day, but hey that is just me... Look at the last two drafts as evidence... Take your time, get back to me...jrockster77 said:And the award for most uninformed post goes to....2233boys.
You are on a roll... Bagging on someone else's understanding of the word obtuse...jrockster77 said:You would have to have a vocabulary level higher than 5th grade to even know what it means...nice try, though.

You can get a good idea, when someone reaches on his highest picks two straight years.jrockster77 said:Well considering that it takes at least 3 years to evaluate a draft class, looking at the past two years is pointless. But since you're the one making the comments, maybe you should do the research. (this oughta be good for a laugh).
Another one who doesn't know what the word means...2233boys said:You are on a roll... Bagging on someone else's understanding of the word obtuse...

Here, I'll settle this:
obtuse:
- [SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]of an angle; between 90 and 180 degrees[/SIZE][/SIZE]
- [SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]of a leaf shape; rounded at the apex[/SIZE][/SIZE]
- [SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]lacking in insight or discernment; "too obtuse to grasp the implications of his behavior"; "a purblind oligarchy that flatly refused to see that history was condemning it to the dustbin"- Jasper Griffin[/SIZE][/SIZE]
- [SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]dense: slow to learn or understand; lacking intellectual acuity; "so dense he never understands anything I say to him"; "never met anyone quite so dim"; "although dull at classical learning, at mathematics he was uncommonly quick"- Thackeray; "dumb officials make some really dumb decisions"; "he was either normally stupid or being deliberately obtuse"; "worked with the slow students"[/SIZE][/SIZE]

No I said reaching in 2 straight drafts didn't indicate which ones. Frick I forgot you had two last year...jrockster77 said:Are you saying ST at #5 and Rogers at #9 were reaches???
