Sanchez...I hope he sucks.

[mlyonsd]

I'm not proud of the fact that I hope Sanchez turns out to be a dismal failure.

It started with the planet arguing about Sanchez vs. Cassel. I don't mind a decent argument on QB's but after getting rid of both Carl and Herm that alone should have been enough of a positive move forward to keep the issue civil. Taking issue with Pioli picking the QB he wanted over an unproven college draftee was silly. Then bitching about not picking Sanchez during the draft for trade bait instead of letting Pioli getting the guy he really wanted sealed the deal.

So for mostly whiny, petty feelings I hope he sucks. I don't want him to get hurt but would love to see him crying on the sidelines when he's finally replaced as a starter. I hope the first time he's called on to make a game saving throw it's evident when he chits is pants. I hope Blackledge has better numbers when their collective careers are done.

I'm going to root against him more than I did Elway. Ok, that was a stretch but I will totally enjoy every interception, every bad pass, every sack.

Disagreement is a very useful tool in life to drive improvement and progress.

Yet disagreement is seen as an unpleasant state of affairs by most people and the media as well and therefor it is often suppressed as much as possible and as long as possible. People rather bite their tongue than to express disagreement and that leads to a lot of unexpressed disagreement that keeps building up steam under the surface.

On all things in life where there is agreement or there is unexpressed disagreement, improvement is zero.

Expressing disagreement is vastly better than not expressing it. Agreeing to disagree is an agreeable method to more pleasantly deal with disagreement because the disagreement is at least aired and there is not the requirement that the disagreement is eliminated by insisting to settle on compromise. The disagreeing party has at least expressed the points of disagreement so that the other party at least knows that there is in fact disagreement and can now evaluate the issues that are causing the disagreement and perhaps improve the situation by making some changes.

Ageeing to disagree does not require the very nasty confrontations that are created by those that insist that there must be agreement on all issues at all times and that they will forcefeed their point of view without the consideration on issues that agreeing to disagree allows for. My way or the highway attitudes are not part of agreeing to disagree.

The consequences of unexpressed disagreement

The consequences of unexpressed disagreement are far-reaching and poorly understood by the vast majority. Most of unexpressed disagreement leads to an accumulation of many small unexpressed disagreements into very powerful large disagreements of explosive proportion. That method of not dealing with small disagreements leads to lawsuits, bussiness breakups, divorce and even angry acts of violence.

Agreeing to disagree does not at all propose agreement on a force-fed compromise. On the contrary, it proposes that there be a forum for all disagreement so that it can be aired and be known to the other parties for their evaluation, but without the requirement or need for ultimate agreement.

Agreeing to disagree can be seen as a method of being able to air opposing views without the intolerant insistence on agreement.

The concept of agreeing to disagree is a hard thing to "sell" because human nature is very insistent on the popular methods of wanting to appear pleasant not wanting to be disagreeable and wanting to save all disagreement to a point where it attains critical mass to a point where the smallest spark will cause a catastrophic explosion.

Appeasement, compromise, pleasant appearances, unexpressed resentment and the like are all the methods preferred by most that then result in larger disagreements that are too complicated to overcome without a "war".

In Holland they have a saying: "Weak doctors create festering wounds". This means that if a person is unwilling to deal with cleaning a small scrape wound for fear of causing more pain, that this small wound may grow into a festering one if not properly dealt with right away.

Ok, sure.

I'm sure everyone buys that.

I see you are incapable of reading at an adult level. I see you have completely misconstrued what I said in order to attempt to make a point. I say "attempt to make a point", because you are incapable of actually making a point.

Why are you a moron?

I subcontracted one of your illegal workers from El Salvador for that gig.

My thoughts as well

Perhaps he and Cutler can make a Holy Pilgrimage to the Offices at OAD and get a discount blessing from the Holy One; Chicago fans and press will be none the kinder.

Did Darth Raised John the Baptist claim to announce the greatness of Mark Sanchez in October 2008 when the Lord of USC had only played about 4 college games or didn't he?

Agree to disagree.

Some of us have very strong feelings one way or another in this situation. I'm sure people are getting sick of hearing about it, though.

Because I am firmly entrenched on one side of the debate. I just realized that it's a lot easier to ignore it.

And it came to pass, in the year of our Lord and Savior Jesus GM, 2009, that the Chiefs were known throughout the land to possess the 3rd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
The people were excited, and they looked forward to a new day when the cowardice and complacency of the newly ass-booted, False Prophet PeterBeater would finally be scourged from the land, and the dreaded curse of Blackledge would be lifted from it's noble inhabitants.
Prior to the destruction of the False One, many inhabitants sought a Noble Warrior to helm the army of the people, as it's interim leader, "Piss Boy", was lacking in many warrior skills.
They searched far and wide throughout the land, and determined that one such worthy Warrior existed, and would soon leave his Warrior's Citadel to lead an army of his very own. "Sir Stafford of America's Asspit Texas" was dubbed by the Council of the Wise to be the proper Warrior for the people's army.
It was at this time that I, your humble narrator, was informed by the Council of the Wise, that my knowledge of a Warrior's worth was equal to that of "Piss Boy's" warrior skill, and thus I was branded with the heretic's lowliest title and station in the land:

"Trufanis-****tardis"

And it came to pass that I, your humble narrator, was most displeased with this turn of events and sought to discover the reason for my branding, as well as to improve my knowledge of a Warrior's worth. I observed many battles of "Sir Stafford of America's Asspit Texas", but was not particularly blinded by the Light of his Greatness. It was at this time that I found myself impressed by a Warrior of the Islands from a Citidel of the Western Lands, though this Warrior was not the Supreme Commander of his Army.
The Army of the People of Kansas City requires many Warrior's, and this Warrior's skill and Holy Mojo were quite impressive.
As I began my study of said Warrior, I noticed that lo and behold; the Supreme Commander of THIS Warrior's Army was in fact IMBUED WITH THE LIGHT OF GREATNESS! After further and careful study of many battles I, your humble narrator, returned to the Council of the Wise to present my offering. The Council, after much debate, finally concluded that my quest was a fruitful one and that the branding of "Trufanis-****tardis" should be lifted, and I given a seat on the Council for my worthy efforts.
In the months that followed, it was determined that two Supreme Commanders for the Army of the People of Kansas City would be available for potential leadership, and that either would be sufficient for our needs.
At long last, the dreaded Curse of Blackledge would be lifted, and the Army of Our People would once again be Victorious over All Lands in the Known World!

It then came to pass shortly thereafter that the Lord Our Savior, Jesus GM, shat upon our collective heads.


The End.
