Your right Ray, I apologize for being disruptive. I should not let posters get under my skin, I will work on that moving forward.

Imagine Wilfork with Easley to his left and Chandler Jones to his right.

B6, with all due respect, you have taken what was an excellent thread in which people aggregated information about off-season activities, when we are all desperate for something football-related to discuss, and turned it, yet again, into a discussion of Danny Amendola.

Of course, you didn't do it single-handed. The usual suspects turned up to bait you and demonstrate to everyone what a great interrogator can do when in full logic-chopping mode. But, if you really don't have an "off" switch, couldn't we have a Danny Amendola thread where you and Perry Mason can just argue with one another to your heart's content?

So I'm 100% with Andy and the PWP (to whom I dedicate this):

To be fair, there's also the mysterious "Oh, we're in God's hands" or whatever post from his family this month, but yeah, it's informed speculation.

I do not disagree, I should have just moved on, I did take the thread off track, and I am sincerely sorry for that, I will try not to make the same mistake in the future.

You got me. It has nothing to do with all of the whiny comments, stupid arguments, false brovado challenges, personal attacks, stubborn unwavering spewing of weak opinions, and general lack of maturity that overwhelms the valuable posts on this board. Its because I can stand that you don't like one player.
You realize that your response is a perfect example of why this board sucks now, right?

98.5 just interviewed Revis. He sounds like a really cool dude.

All you have to do is put the people that bother you on ignore. Listen nobody is perfect, I admit I get caught up in **** that I should not and get off topic and into pissing contests. You have done the same in the past with people to Andy, it is an internet board where people voice different opinions. I think it is a shame that you think the board sucks, I enjoy reading your posts, and knowing that my behavior has led to you posting less is motivation for me to behave less childish in the future. I sincerely apologize is I took from your livelihood on this board.

Yeah but he is right, I took this thread off topic, I let posters like Bruins and Joker get to me, and reacted to them, I should have behaved more maturely, it is unfair to the others who use this board and disrespectful to Ian and the moderators.

I believe Vince was once compared to Pele in high school but, regrettably, had to make a decision and football it was.

So it is Joker and Bruins that is the problem and you are just reacting to it. It is no wonder why nobody respects you here. Your veiled shots at people are comical. You take the shots and then complain when everyone responds to you.

You just can't ever admit you are wrong without blaming someone else for your bad behavior. You had to bring up my name again diddn't you.

Can we take the back and forth between Brady6 (not trying to single you out) and anyone else involved to another thread or PMs? This is a thread about OTA's and other workouts and updates on players from them.

It's not a debate thread, it's not an appology thread, it's OTA/Workout discussion.

Hey--good to see Revis back today. I'm a worrier like that.

Also, great to see the DL taking shape with the injured players seeming to progress.

Mods. B6 has laid down his weapons. I suggest that, if Deus and Bruins don't do the same, they should be asked to leave the thread. JMHO.

Nobody has to leave the thread, just the discussion they were having should find a new home. The posters are fine.
