CLICK HERE to Register for a free account and login for a smoother ad-free experience. It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I know this could be a heavy expectation but it would be really freaking nice if the some members of this forum stopped looking for every opportunity to pick something apart. I have to believe that everyone in here can comprehend the fact that I was asking if the Patriots would be active prior to the trade deadline, I was not asking if they were going to trade for the players I named in particular so you opinion on those players availability is 100% irrelevant unless it is stated in the context such as “I think the Patriots would be interested in Hakeem Nicks, however his GM is stated he is not available”. To come on here and make some this is hilarious comment as if to imply you’re more knowledgeable than me is an embarrassment, how does responding to a question as if you didn’t even comprehend the question making you look smarter?
I like this forum, I like it a real lot in fact but there is one thing that I find to be despicable and pathetic which is when another forum member feels that by demeaning or putting down another member in public they’re going to be held in high regard, that mentality is such a ******* failure it is the reason why teen suicide increases each year and so many people in this world hate themselves and their lives, people constantly looking for every damn opportunity to **** on each other in order to feel better about themselves.
I have been trying to walk on egg shells because I don’t want to be banned from the site, and the fact that I have to constantly be put into situations where I am forced to exhibit so much self-control and not just tell people that the internet is not the safe and anonymous place that they believe it is really beginning to make me look at what I viewed as a great place to come and talk football as a place where every single thing I say is going to be picked apart by miserable bullies who use confrontation in a message board in order make themselves feel better about their own insecurities. I really doubt that was what Ian intended when he opened this site up to the public, and each one of you who do this is disrespecting him and the moderators who control this board, you’re basically looking them all in the eyes and saying those rules you had me agree to when I signed up meant nothing to me and I could care less what your expectations are for members.
Let this post be notice each and every one of you that moving forward unless you’re certain you would say what your posting to me if face to face you should not be posting it, I am not going to indulge this behavior, it is despicable to me, 18+ year old adult men and women picking on each other for fun, demeaning each other if they disagree on a specific topic, this behavior is shameful, and just like I am ashamed of the behavior I have exhibited in response to some of you over the last few weeks you should ashamed of yourselves.
If you feel this post implies I think I am better than you I assure you all that are not the case at all, I simply think I am better than this behavior and for that matter I think each and every one of you are likely better than it too. If you want to take up an issue send me a direct message like an adult we can address you issues, otherwise do us both a favor and have some goddamn self-respect and find other ways to better your self-esteem than picking on me and others the internet.
Thank you,

This is hilarious because half of these have been confirmed NOT on the trade market, such as Nicks, Gonzalez, Gordon, all 100% denied by coaches/GMs.
Will be quite on almost all front except for the Nicks trade to where ever he will go
Except it's NOT a rumor that those rumors were false.
When a rumor is proven to be innacurate why keep playing along as if it isn't? Granted, this is assuming you take the coaches/GM's word for it in saying they are NOT on the blocks.

Since when it a team's denial that someone is on the trade block actually proof that said person is not on the trade block? Are we pretending that teams aren't often completely full of it when it comes to such denials, or something?

I would agree with one exception, if Tampa beats Atlanta tomorrow that would drop Atlanta to 1-5 and tied for last in the division, I would have to believe that Tony Gonzalez who returned this year to make a run at a Super Bowl ring would on the market, the Falcons would have to go 9-1 post trade deadline to even have a shot at the playoffs which without Julio Jones their best offensive playmaker and Sean Weatherspoon the best defensive playmaker seems highly unlikely.
Normally I am not a fan of loaner players but Gonzalez is a different story, his presence along with Gronkowski’s return to health would give us back what this offense was designed to be prior to Hernandez becoming trigger happy, and Gronkowski’s surgeries. If we could send a 4th to Atlanta for him have him here the rest of the way see if he’d entertain a 1 year deal in the offseason and we could draft a true replacement for Hernandez and this sad song is behind us.
If you were offended by my post you need thicker skin, it was in no way meant to be demeaning or insulting. The idea of listing a bunch of players who within the last week or 2 have had their teams management publicly state they are not available as trade candidate was silly to me. So I called it silly.
This wasn't about putting you down to lift me up, it was about calling something silly when I found it silly.
Also, quit being an internet tough guy with the "if u wouldn't say it to my face don't say it at all'.
That comment was FAR more laughable than the rest of this thread. Maybe YOU need to grow up, not everyone is going to be all flowers and sunshine with everything posted. Adversity is something that is real, accept it, deal with it, you don't need to be all defensive like I hurt your feelings through the internet.
I'm done with this thread-derailing comment. If you wish to discuss anything further PM me and the rest of those you feel were demeaning to you.
If you haven't made "laughable" posts here, you haven't been posting enough... or after drinking fine malt beverages.

Which is why I said "Granted this is assuming oyu believe the GM blah blah blah".
Like someone said earlier, everyone in the league has a price, but if that price isn't realistic than they aren't really available.
