Stuff I Was Really Wrong About

[FAX]

Like many highly intelligent and thoughtful Planeteers, I make it a tradition to reflect on mistakes I may have made throughout the year and vowing to improve upon my thought processes in future.

I don't like crow, so instead, I'm eating pumpkin pie with whipped cream in order to punish myself for my errors in judgment this year. Nevertheless, here is my list of stuff I screwed up. It's only a partial list, of course. But, it's the best I can do given the time constraints I'm under due to a major mistake I made involving a Bissell carpet cleaner.

1) Cassel. I have been one of his most virulent critics. He seemed to be a hopeless doofus whose ultimate potential involved building little houses out of raw spaghetti and chewing gum. It appears, however, that the guy is coming along. Somewhere around mid-season (the Bills game, maybe?) he began to demonstrate true leadership on the field. Then, remarkably, he started showing real pocket presence and some accuracy. The 3rd and 19 throw to Bowe and the slide to his left followed by the clutch throw to Moeaki iced it for me. He has sufficient ability to play at a high level in the NFL. Amazing.

2) Mr. Raised On Rats. I once believed he was merely a run-of-the-mill imbecile. I was wrong. I now see that he is a first-class imbecile with an opportunity to become the undisputed King Of The Imbeciles. If, that is, he does not accidentally drown himself in the castle moat.

3) Haley. Although I have been a consistent Haley fan, I have questioned his ability to properly prepare his team for big games. After whipping Tack ass for an hour or so last Sunday, I think I was incorrect in this assessment. That was as close to a "must-win" game as we've seen in awhile. It's clear that he has control of this team and, if he is provided with some additional talent at key positions, can lead us to the promised land. Once he figures out how to consistently defeat divisional rivals, we have a winner.

4) Bowe. There for awhile, I lost faith in Bowe's brain. The lapses in concentration caused me to doubt his ability to perform in big games ... or even tiny games, for that matter. I couldn't have been more wrong about this. Bowe is playing better, responding to coaching, and rising to the occasion. If his development continues at this rate, Bowe may well be recognized as one of the very best WRs in the league by next year.

5) Potato Soup. I thought there was only one way to make good potato soup. Duh. It turns out there are about 50 different ways and they're all pretty good when served with fresh, hot cornbread slathered with fresh, creamery butter.

Tough year, Mr. FAX.

Following the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook's recipe for toffee bars doesn't result in toffee. It results in a damned square chocolate chip cookie.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but is NBC going to show the game tonight? Will it be on the tube, or only for the regional areas?

Thanks in advance.

I can't count the times that I thought "Mr. Fax, your and idiot with all your lack of potato soup knowledge". It takes a big man to admit your faults. :thumb:

[tooge]

Hmm. I'm not ever wrong. Sometimes I will say I was wrong if it means I have a better chance of getting my way with wifey or if I'm simply tired of listening to the mindless drivel of whoever it is I'm arguing with.

[Frosty]

But, it's the best I can do given the time constraints I'm under due to a major mistake I made involving a Bissell carpet cleaner.


Wait a minute!

Why isn't this on your list? :mad:

As far as I know, it'll be shown nationally on NBC.

As long as SHE believes that, its all good

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

If it was anyone else riding me whilst refusing my overtures for civility and friendship, I'd probably get genuinely bent out of shape, Mr. FAX.
But, you are a CP Original and Universe unto yourself, so I will take pride in that you even acknowledge me at all.

Cheers!

[Fire Me Boy!]

Try potato soup in cast iron.

[Otter]

With the exception of Todd Haley I had doubts about Cassel and Bowe as well. Heck, I think we all did at one point or another, it's not like it wasn't justified at points. I'm not sure what lit the proverbial fire under their asses, I'm guessing it's just a 'getting in the grove' sort of thing but I hope it keeps burning hot a bright.

[beach tribe]

I think I was most wrong about Tamba Hali. After our putrid season of 10 sacks, and watching Hali get swallowed constantly by left tackles, I had written him off.
He has developed GREAT hands, and along with his relentless play, has made me to look like a fool.
Way to go Tamba. I think maybe you were hiding some injuries back then, that most of us were not aware of. I know you still are which makes you all the more of a STUD.

[Saul Good]

Bowe is a hell of a WR, but he's always going to be a threat to drop passes when it matters most. I don't think he has moved beyond that.

[mlyonsd]

As far as I know, it'll be shown nationally on NBC.

Yup. That's the fact jack.

[greg63]

I've always enjoyed your muses Mr. FAX.

And turns the potatoes green.

[beach tribe]

I think it's the fans that haven't moved beyond that. He hasn't really dropped a huge pass in a loong time, and not nearly as many as years past. He seems to be becoming more, and more reliable all the time. I actually expect him to do something huge now rather than cringe.

Ass before mouth.

I was very wrong about that.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Weakens its structural integrity significantly.

Pfft. Not if it's enameled.

[Fire Me Boy!]

And turns the potatoes green.

See above.

[Fire Me Boy!]

For the record, I was just playing up my 'everything is better in cast iron' MO. Soup in cast iron is not a good idea, unless it's enameled. Then, all you're really using it for is heat distribution.

[Rausch]

1) Cassel.

Cassel has definitely improved. Dramatic improvement. But let's not forget this better showing is mostly the last 8 games out of a two year stretch.

If he continues to improve and produce he could definitely be a pro bowl QB for years...

3) Haley. Although I have been a consistent Haley fan, I have questioned his ability to properly prepare his team for big games. After whipping Tack ass for an hour or so last Sunday, I think I was incorrect in this assessment. That was as close to a "must-win" game as we've seen in awhile. It's clear that he has control of this team and, if he is provided with some additional talent at key positions, can lead us to the promised land. Once he figures out how to consistently defeat divisional rivals, we have a winner.

I'm no longer worried about his methods or coaching style.

In game I'm more worried than ever...

4) Bowe. There for awhile, I lost faith in Bowe's brain. The lapses in concentration caused me to doubt his ability to perform in big games ... or even tiny games, for that matter. I couldn't have been more wrong about this. Bowe is playing better, responding to coaching, and rising to the occasion. If his development continues at this rate, Bowe may well be recognized as one of the very best WRs in the league by next year.

I love the recent production of Bowe but I fear his ability to play consistently. Bowe can be taken out of games (perhaps due to no other legit threat) and he's dropped easy catches his whole career.

Still believe he should be a no 2...

[Norman Einstein]

It's a good thing to reflect on your mistakes. I can't do that, it might cause me to redo them.

I officially put the past behind me and live in the here and now.

Those that dwell in the past seem doomed to repeat it.

Who cares about heat distribution when making potato soup? The mass of the liquid overrides any pot in which it's cooked.

I was just giving you shit. Now get out there and buy a garlic press! What it does can't be duplicated with a knife. Ask Guy, Lidia, Alton... :)

I know.

Alton says buy a garlic press? I doubt that.

I have one, but I never use it. I just smash the hell out of it with a knife and then chop away.

[tooge]

I wouldn't think Alton would like it unless it also grated cheese, covered caseroles, and could be used as a support during steaming or grilling.

[Fire Me Boy!]

My point exactly. He hates unitaskers, and a garlic press could be used for precious little, therefore a waste of drawer space. He always says the only unitasker in his kitchen is a fire extinguisher.

Unitaskers? He's the king! He denies it, but you just have to pay attention to all the contraptions he uses. Try to make a great salsa verde with small bits of garlic. It doesn't work. The press works wonders.

[Stewie]

This is a FAX thread about the Chiefs. Sorry to hijack Mr. FAX.

You can't get small bits of garlic with only a knife? Hmm.... no one told my knife.

I'll admit, I've never really paid a lot of attention to the "contraptions" he uses. Can you elaborate? What does he use that would be considered a unitasker?

[big nasty kcnut]

I thought i was wrong once turned out to be gas.

Cam Thomas = late 1st or early 2nd rounder

Like many highly intelligent and thoughtful Planeteers, I make it a tradition to reflect on mistakes I may have made throughout the year and vowing to improve upon my thought processes in future.

I don't like crow, so instead, I'm eating pumpkin pie with whipped cream in order to punish myself for my errors in judgment this year. Nevertheless, here is my list of stuff I screwed up. It's only a partial list, of course. But, it's the best I can do given the time constraints I'm under due to a major mistake I made involving a Bissell carpet cleaner.

1) Cassel. I have been one of his most virulent critics. He seemed to be a hopeless doofus whose ultimate potential involved building little houses out of raw spaghetti and chewing gum. It appears, however, that the guy is coming along. Somewhere around mid-season (the Bills game, maybe?) he began to demonstrate true leadership on the field. Then, remarkably, he started showing real pocket presence and some accuracy. The 3rd and 19 throw to Bowe and the slide to his left followed by the clutch throw to Moeaki iced it for me. He has sufficient ability to play at a high level in the NFL. Amazing.

2) Mr. Raised On Rats. I once believed he was merely a run-of-the-mill imbecile. I was wrong. I now see that he is a first-class imbecile with an opportunity to become the undisputed King Of The Imbeciles. If, that is, he does not accidentally drown himself in the castle moat.

3) Haley. Although I have been a consistent Haley fan, I have questioned his ability to properly prepare his team for big games.

Mr. FAX, I love Matt Cassel, and I'm happy to hear you're jumping on board.

While I didn't like the trade for Cassel and thought he pretty much sucked his first year, I kept in mind that I didn't like the trade for Trent Green and thought he sucked his first year here. I learned the first time to give the players some time.
