Awesome! Good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read that. I'm still laughing at that.

I may not agree with Morris, but I understand his position. Take off the homer glasses and the artificial chip on your shoulder and you'll understand his position too.
Can you not make an argument without adopting the infantile tactic of attempting ridicule the other party? "homer glasses"? "artificial chip on your shoulder"? In your previous post you claimed that "anybody who [thinks that] is high". Grow up.

Now back to the actual debate - where did I ever say the 72 Dolphins shouldn't be proud of what they did? Do you not think it is possible to be proud of an accomplishment without diminishing someone else's? Actually, you probably do believe that - it seems to fit your maturity level.

I don't think the Pats will be moving into the 1972 Dolphins' neighborhood. The assisted-living apartments are too small and they all smell like cat pee. I heard that the weekly Wii bowling tournaments are quite a hoot though.

Don't sleep on Wii bowling. It's freakin' awesome.

P.S. Morris is insane.

He is a moron. What the hell is 1000%? Is it more than 100%? He needs to be on a methadone plan. Then go back to school and learn math.

Pot/kettle...

Couldn't you have made an argument without calling Mercury Morris a clod? How's life over on hypocrisy lane, oh arbiter of maturity?

As for the debate, how does his saying New England would be the second best team in NFL history diminish New England's accomplishments? Even if New England wins the Super Bowl, there will be people who will honestly argue that the Bears were better, there will be those who argue that the 49ers were better, and there will be those who'll argue that the Dolphins were better. Your insult of Morris was undeserved based upon the quote you were commenting on, and, to use your choice of words, seems to fit your maturity level. Grow up, yourself.

You don't see the difference between making an editorial comment about a public figure and directly attacking someone you are speaking with? Of course you don't. Too subtle. Who are you anyway, Mercury Morris's pusher?

Ahhh.... and more of that 'maturity' you were talking about comes to light.


I do see a difference. I had the balls to call you out knowing that you could respond. You called out someone who's not going to be defending himself, and you called him out on something that was not even wrong of him to say. Nobody is required to bow at the altar of 19-0, just as people haven't been required to concede the 'best ever' title to the Dolphins up until now just because they went 17-0. New England is striving to become the second undefeated team in NFL history. That doesn't automatically make them the best team ever.

Your post that started the thread was a silly attack without any legitimate provocation. You got called on it. That's what message boards are for. And, by the way, the last time I checked, Homer wasn't exactly a word on the 'cuss' list.
