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.

You know what my agenda is?
Being able to be proud of my favorite team again, instead of being the ****ing laughingstock of the league year, after year, after year.
Everyone thought Pioli was the ****ing savior. That coaching alone would get us near .500.
And as the year went on, and people realized they were dead ****ing wrong, the excuses started.
My attitude about this franchise hasn't changed one bit from DV, to Herm and now to the Executive of the Decade:
Make smart moves, and you'll get credit from me.
Do stupid shit, like bring in 45 players and get a WR2 and a PK out of it, and you're going to get crucified.
I want to believe in Pioli, I really do. I hope he knocks the 2010 offseason and draft out of the ****ing park - and I'll give him credit when/if he does.
Same with Haley. I hope to hell he learns from all of the mistakes he's made, but based n what we saw yesterday, it doesn't look like it. Maybe an offseason to sit back and reflect on how ****ing stupid a fake punt is on 4th and 8 from your own 28 is - and that's not taking into account that the pass was intended for the ****ing long-snapper. Or maybe he'll realize that a fullback pass to a QB shouldn't be on the playsheet, much less being dialed up when you have a lead on your opponent, on the road, in their territory, and you have all the momentum.
I desperately want this regime to succeed - because if they don't, it's another 5 years of failure, another 5 years of embarrassment, and another 5 years that passes without the possibility of getting that Championship those of us in our late 30's and younger have never been lucky enough to enjoy.
Or, you can keep trying to claim that I hate a franchise I've followed for 30+ years and have spent over $35k to watch in person. Your call.
Knowing you, I fully expect you to keep banging your drum, ignoring everything I just said. And have said in the past.
