Your Favorite Commander Mistakes

[Yeagermeister]

A Rams friend of mine was convinced Trung was the missing link to the Rams winning 2 SB's in a row.

Some of Art's gems from that thread --

the part about Trung fitting a spread offense was a good one :laugh2:

Trung averaged 5 yards a carry in the Ram's spread-offense because their passing game was good, and actually spread Ds out

ExtremeSkins Fan View: Cap Hell Rocks!

March 16, 2006

Don't hate us because we're beautiful.

No more blank, wondering stares, confused head scratching, frothing emotional outbursts, conspiracy theories or embarrassing, dismissive references to 2000. The Washington Commanders are the central theme of every NFL team message board out there. Here's a message to you all from all ExtremeSkins fans everywhere.

It's time to embrace the reality of it all. Simply, we're better than you.

That's it. Look no further. We are better than you. We're more fun. It feels better to be us. We've got flair. We're audacious, capricious, bodacious, supercalifragilisticxpalidocious.

Are you finally getting it?

Yes, yes, I know cap hell was supposed to be upon us. I know that's what you've been told. I feel for you, I really do. As you come to realize we're better than you, a second bit of stark reality must also penetrate. We're smarter than them.

Repeat after me.

The Washington Commanders are managed, coached and owned by highly professional people who know more about running a football franchise than ALL the unnamed, anonymous sources any reporter has yanked from the broom closet and quoted.

Don't take my word for it. Take the following words for it.

Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle El, Adam Archuleta, Andre Carter, Todd Collins, Christian Fauria.

The question you all should be asking isn't, "How is all this possible?" No. The question should be, "How didn't we know this was all possible?"

Six years of assurances cap hell was on the way and you still allowed yourself to believe the tripe. Perhaps busting the cap hell myth as it relates to the Washington Commanders is just too painful a thing for media and fans of other teams to do.

Like a child coming to the harsh knowledge Santa doesn't exist, the media and opposing teams' fans are struggling desperately to hang on to the fiction that cap hell is on the way for the Commanders despite--literally--YEARS of demonstrated contrary evidence.

Here's the best part.

You don't have to hate us for what we're doing. You can do it, too.

"The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do," Joe Gibbs said after the introductory press conference for Andre Carter. "We have certain rules in the league. Here's the cap, here's the numbers, here's what you can spend, so everybody in the league can do what we're doing, it's just that they choose not to, many of them."

Deep down, this is really the issue, isn't it? You can do it too and you know it, but, your team doesn't do it, so, you have a hard choice. Hate your team, or hate us.

Say you're a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. You always have all those many millions available, which somehow never seem to get spent. All week you're hearing how you have LeCharles Bentley locked up as your free agent masterstroke to solidify your offensive line.

You are giddy. You're thrilled. You know this is the guy you need. He fills a need and makes it a strength. You're excited about the prospects of adding such a substantial piece. Then, the Cleveland Browns call, offer a few more bucks to Bentley and Bentley winds up in Cleveland leaving you with nothing more than whimpering excuses that Bentley is from Cleveland and always wanted to play there.

Oh, hush.

Antwaan Randle El is from Chicago. He's always wanted to play there. Yet he's playing in D.C. Adam Archuleta admits he adores Lovie Smith after years playing for him with St. Louis and wanted to play with him in Chicago. Yet he's playing in D.C. Andre Carter just had to meet the Broncos because his father played there 12 years and he envisioned being the second generation of his family with the team. Yet he's playing in D.C.

And it's driving you crazy because you were so excited and thrilled about the prospects of adding a good player your management and owner can't figure out how to land while we get EVERY single player we shoot at.

We get to actually live the thrill and giddiness you only get to brush up against. And it's killing you.

Did we pay a premium for generally young players entering their prime with years left to play in the NFL? You bet we did. Kind of like when the Eagles lock up their own young players for a premium before they really emerge on the scene and everyone calls that genius. Think of it like that, only, with the component of actually being smart because an expensive 24-year-old promising receiver suddenly becomes a very cheap 26-year-old receiver when he grabs 80 balls.

See, we already had good players under contract. Now we have more.

As you struggle to find words to describe the coming cap doom heading our way, try to process one final thought. When you have that free agent you need all lined up and you don't get him, well, isn't that really what cap hell feels like?

I wouldn't know, because I don't ever have to feel that way.

That fool Snyder done blundered up awful with his attempted fixings and such with coaches and front office doings right from the beginings.

Firstly he fired Casserly from GM so that he could make all the draftings and signings on his own. Then he went and higherd him bug eyed Ceratto for his great lickety split brown nosing style as his side kick yes man tipe.

Then he up and fires Norv in the middle of the season when they had a chance to make it to the playoffs only to have a collapsing spree as they lost all rest of they're gamings that year.

So next he hires up Marty as new head coach and Marty first thing fires himself Snyders butt boy Ceratto (great move). Then after losing to start the season off Marty turn them around and they go on a winning spree so strongly that I was getting scared at them for the next years thinking what Marty and they players might do on us.

But good old Snyder done come to our rescue in the off season. He out of the blue just up and fires Marty and rehires him Ceratto problally because his number two was constipulated without Ceratto licking up on him with that brown nose and such.

Then he up and pays crazy mad scientist Spurrier more than any head coach in historiey to run experimentals on offence that don't work outside of college. All kinds of feeassko took place during that Spurrier run--

I calls a time out from this post for me to laughs on it while funny rememberings take place...

HAR HEE HEE HAR HA HA HA HA HEE HA HA!

Who can forget all them good time with the old ball coach. He'd send 10 people out on pass patterns and we'd just let loose and blitz old Ramsey until he turned into one of them jailhouse Nancy boys what gets so scared that they just close them eyes and get on their hand and nees doggy like whenever they get a new cell mate-- cause they no they can't not do no resisting unless they want to get a worst beating etc. Then remeber the time Spurriers lips blew like a cartoon karakter after another bumbling loss to us on Monday night-- oh my!!

Oh it was such a sad day for Boys fans when Spurrier stopped stealing Snyders money.

The only thing that made it ok was Snyder decided on wasting even more money at senility Gibbs and his crew of retired old farts and peep show acts.

Then snyder went and undermine at Gibbs last year forcing him to hiring up Kernel Sanders to run the offense and fry chicken after losses.

Oh yeah Snyder is the best thing what ever happened for anyone that has a good hate on them devil worship Deadskins.

Time out for more laughing stock thoughts and hoping they grab at Briggs for the six pick in the draft oh my!!

HEE HAR HA HA TEE HEE YUCKETY YUCK!!

Ok, I'm done....



I still remember a couple years back when Art was trying to convince everyone that Carlos Rogers was a better corner than Terence Newman. After completely destroying his arguement in every possible way, he threw several personal insults my way, calling me an uneducated idiot and a envious a**-hole, among other things. I called him out, posting the ES rules and guideleines which specifically state personal insults will result is a ban.

He immediatly banned me, deleted the thread, banned 3 other edskin posters for bringing it up a few minutes later, and createdt a new board rule still in effect today that states members shall not remind mods of the rules and guidelines. :laugh2:

To this day I still occupy a very large portion of Art's brain, completely rent free.

[CATCH17]

Art has to be one of the most full of it Commander homers ever.

Oh by the way the worst decision the Commanders made was selling the franchise to Daniel Snyder.

Followed by Spurrier.

The guy who got hurt the worst in that Spurrier move was Ramsey though. I thought he was a good talent and Spurrier just ruined his career.

That just shows how fragile the QB position is... Especially for young guys coming into the league.
