Re: Jets have a 1 year window (oops, didn't mean to post in draft forum)
You absolutely said that people critcizing the Jets moves would be praising them if the Patriots made the same ones.
Why deny it? Did you not mean it?
What I said is easily quotable. Here it is:
from many of the same people
Here's some of the silliness you posted in response:
Effectively you have said that you cannot be wrong because everyone else lies on purpose.
Look really, really hard. Even with the ridiculously thick homer lenses you see football 'life' through, you should be able to see the difference.
Do you believe that people come to this board and post so that they can lie? That you can dismiss peoples opinions because you detect them to be disingenuous?
1.) I believe that some people come to boards to lie. I think that's universally understood and accepted (perhaps you don't believe it to be true and that it's only almost universally accepted, but that's a percentage that's really not something worth arguing over). We generally call them trolls.
2.) I think some people have legitimate changes of heart over time, and I don't think anyone is required to hold to the exact same opinion for decades on matters as trivial as sports.
3.) I think some people make excuses for those they follow while pummeling those they don't. Rodney got a relatively free pass, while 'cheaters' from other teams, like Merriman, continue to get abused for doing essentially the same thing. Some do this knowingly, some do it without thinking about it, and some do it by using flimsy rationale instead of something truly solid.
I implied nothing. I flat out stated "this board would have melted down from all the praise the team would have been getting from many of the same people who are now belittling the Jets. "
And, look, I just stated it again.
You absolutely diminsihed the opinion of people criticizing the Jets moves by stating that those people would be praising them if the Pats made them. That is absolutely dismissing their opinion as dishonest and contrived.
You said it, have the balls to stand behind it tough guy.
No, I diminished the opinion, to use your phrase, of MANY of the same people who are now belittling the Jets for the moves. Perhaps words like "many" are too subtle for you when you enter your rabid homer state, but they do make a difference.
As for standing by it, why the hell wouldn't I? I stand by what I actually posted. On the other hand, I reject the crap you claim I implied.
