Jesus.

Well, it has something to do with ESPN having hundreds of thousands of subscribers and WPI having dozens. Have you ever been able to figure out how they can afford to give away USA Today at hotels? It's because the subscription isn't making the money, the advertising dollars are. We could go on talking about it but then I'd get frustrated and who wants to relive 5 years ago?

300 or so posts huh? I guess it did its job eh?

Didn't think of it that way...that does make sense.

How many people clicked the link? We can talk about it all day without clicking the link.

"in principle" still stings me too.

I read this thread and the game thread and it's evident -- and has been evident all year that OTWP has a HUGE vendetta against the new regime.

When a guy like that starts taking Athan's word as gospel...there is clearly an agenda.

And the trade didn't happen so it's a moot point...shit we were begging to give LJ away before he had his big 2005.

Hootie 01-04-2010 06:04 AM

I mean...go read the game thread and concentrate on OTWP's posts...he couldn't get over the Castille play for two quarters and then every time something good happened it turned into Pioli bashing for benching DJ, or not playing Charles, or paying Cassel...and on and on and on and on...

If I did that shit, people would have been ALL over me...

But since it is him, it's ok...and Hamas and ROR stalked him with LMAO emoticons the whole freaking thread.

Oooooh. Let's all run with it.

I don't give a **** if he did try to trade him. There wasn't a MF'er on this roster that didn't deserve to be on the block.

Charles will give us 3 good years and, like 90% of all NFL RB's, will be relegated to the broken down scrap heap.

Who gives a **** if they tried to trade him?

Nothing gets by you, Hoots.

Because you can't imagine Pioli doing something so stupid, or because Nick wrote it?

There's no doubt in my mind it happened, and that someone in the Redskins organization is the source.

God knows Pioli didn't admit to it.

:rolleyes: I believe you're a tad blinded by Pioli hate. Had this been a rumor of a blockbuster deal that would have weighed heavily in the favor of the Chiefs, you'd have crucifed Athan.

Birds of a feather...

I am wondering if some of the people here care more about them being right about the future of our team being hopeless than us winning games.

We beat Denver for the first time in a decade in a dominant game and by somes accounds we lost the game.

I haven't read through all of this, but I am calling complete bullshit on it.

This here.

In 2008 Charles had one good game, a 106-yard effort against Tampa Bay. Up to and including the November 8th game against Jacksonville, his numbers again were nothing to behold. Sure, he also wasn't a featured back... but the point is, no one thought he was the second coming of Marshall Faulk until he blew everyone away with this final four game stretch (143, 154, 102, 259).

So why are people acting like, "Look, once again, Pioli proves he's an incompetent idiot because he wanted to trade this stud!!"? Give it a frigging rest. You got one of the more promising GM candidates available. You got a head coach who lacks experience but has the right attitude. You got an improvement at QB--sure, maybe he's not Peyton Manning, but he's an improvement. You found a stud running back. You won 4 games instead of 2. You ended the Broncos' playoff chances. And yet you still find something to bitch about. Wash the sand out of your vagina and at least enjoy FOR ONE F**KING DAY the good game that they played yesterday.
