NFL Week #6

Wait a minute, Boys.......... How is it Gard gets a pass on this? Cause if that's the case, it makes the banter and give and take less fun. Gard's question was a jab at Jerry. My reply is a jab at Tom Benson.

How so? I read it and took it (as most will) as a Jab toward a National Tragedy. Not once did you mention Benson by name. You also referenced federal aide which is in direct connection to Katrina. IMO that was a low blow plain and simple. At that point it's no longer banter.

Gards not getting a "pass" either. If you'll reread all he NFL threads, I've personally been challenging his opinion on Jones and the Cowboys all season. (More than likely to the dismay of other TB NFL fans).

God Bless, Ray
 
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than it is to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

-------------------------------------------------------------

That's one of my Pop's favorite statements Gard.:)

everyone that roots for the team is some slope-foreheaded-nosepicking moron.

Who you callin a Moron You knuckle dragging beer chugging Bass making Hairy backed Mary? Oh and your team stinks almost as bad as you do!

My question to Ray about the stadium and the money involved was absolutely NOT a "jab" at anyone. I merely requested information, simple as that. ANY major venue like a football stadium will involve public funds, I was curious just how much of Jerry's own money was involved in that stadium. I actually APPLAUD the fact that he has so much in the stadium.

As for the comment on the Superdome and NOLA in particular, that's political commentary and I won't go there, other than to say that if you don't know what you're talking about, you might want to not talk about it:

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than it is to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

On a personal note to you, fo:

jazzbo and Ray seem to "get" it, I'm a smart@$$ that likes to talk smack, and I don't really care much for the Cowboys, but I'm NOT an utter @$$ that thinks everyone that roots for the team is some slope-foreheaded-nosepicking moron.

This is all in FUN.

You seem to miss it somehow, and it really bumms me out, because I really enjoy the banter during the season. Guys that start taking it all to seriously ruin it for the rest of us.

Why don't you and I push a restart button here, and you keep in mind that I'm not ATTACKING anyone, I'm just goofing off, having fun, taking the piss as they say in jolly old England - I'm not SERIOUS. (Well, my dislike of the Dallas Cowboys franchise is a bit serious, but not my dislike of the fans - they can't help it, they were brainwashed into liking them, it's not their fault! ;) )

Dude, I TOTALLY get it,too. Hell, we've done this for awhile. It's ALL good. This is great fun and a welcome diversion from the ever present problems my team is having.......:hiding:

To all........ If it appears that it's a little too edgy, I'm truly sorry. The wife is usually around to rein me in. Sadly, I'm unsupervised here at work!!

Good, I was afraid we were spinning into serious stupidity.

....y'know like actually being a Cowpukes fan.

:eek:



;)

...and boy howdy, do I know the "ever present problems my team is having" blues, I AM a SAINTS fan.

:scowl:

We're the poster children for that genre of blues...it's a strange feeling we're having right now, y'know...actually playing consistently well on offense, defense, AND special teams...and winning games...I'm just trying to get as much mileage out of it as I can while it lasts!

...if it keeps happenin', y'all are all in for a LONG season this year, because I've got 40 years of "IT'S ABOUT ******' TIME!" to unload...

:D

I'm walking, talking, breathing proof of the accuracy of that phrase.

WhachutalkinboutWillis???

Heck, I took a shower.


...last month.

:)

...and if my team stinks, Nancy, your team smells like an explosion at a wastewater treatment plant.

:smug:

Simple misunderstanding, I think.

I can see where he would take my question as a jab, even though it was an honest "I'm looking for info" question.

It's all good now.

:)

...what's with the guy talkin' about the Packers though?

:confused:
 
I wish I had a more interesting rivalry :(

All in favor of renaming these threads? Next week can be "Cowboys vs. Saints Week #7" ;)

Oh, you think it's bad now, just wait until I start getting wound up for the Atlanta/NOLA game in a couple weeks.

My Cowpukes compulsion is NOTHING compared to how I feel about the Foulclowns.

...of course, the week leading up to 12/19 will be a lotta fun too...

:ninja:

I heard Rumor of you attending the NO/ATL game? If that game falls during the right equinox you'll be showered. Otherwise I'll alert Georgia waste management that the "smell" is a decendant of Swamp Thing straight from the bayou.:D

God Bless, Ray

It's a potential, a business associate has season tix for the Foulclowns.

I'll make sure to shower before said game, just so I don't offend any of the easily upset locals.

:spit:
 
A quick pointer about Marino:

He has a squinty face that makes me not like him much, even though I wish he had a ring - he is one of those epic QBs who SHOULD have gotten one in his career. I was happy when Elway got his, but I hoped he'd stop there.

He did manage to show a sense of humor though, he was in Bad Boys 2. :P

Eh, it's so muggy in ATL, it won't help. My experience with Georgians, however, is that they're some of the most genial people ever, very hospitable and quite friendly.

Except the dood with the Bulldog who keeps trapping on my grandfather's land in Baxley. He's a jerk.
