Geez, Dabruinz.. you stayed up until 3:30am to make your counterpoint. I must have really gotten to you.
Here is my response to the more ridiculous claims you made.
"Only small minded people like yourself believe that I made it "personal." I didn't say ANYTHING about your wife, your family, your sexual preference or anything else. I talked about the garbage you were posting. If you think that's personal, you need to get a clue."
Not only that, only the ignorant make stupid comment about little icons on a message board. It shows how clearly small minded they are."
I was joking about your burger time championship... chill out. Again, I must have really gotten to you
As for the personal part, you called me a fool for having an opinion that differed from yours. Do you call your doctor a fool for telling you to take penecilin instead of your idea, which is to just rub it vigorously?
"Good byes tend to be permanent things. There is nothing saying that Bruschi and Vrabel can't stay friends. People move all the time. Bruschi could have said that he'd just miss him. But he said MORE than that. Clearly, you don't understand that."
So.... you've never said goodbye to someone that you were ever going to see again? Clearly you're grasping at straws.
"I am saying that I have the same chance of winning the lottery that BB does of moving up in the draft and coming out better than they are right now. And, considering that no one can see the future, its pretty hard for you to disprove.
Also, I think its funny you ignored the gist of that sentence by overlooking the fact that by trading that pick to move up, the Pats will actually be trading 5 years to gain 1. But, I guess you did that because it blew up your whole "point"."
No, you're point was taken and I find it laughable. The second part I didn't respond to because it is wildly ridiculous as well. The max you can sign a rookie for is 6 years even for the first overall pick. You are basically saying is that we can only sign 2nd rounders for 1 year....... Obviously that is so wrong that it hurts my pancreas just reading it.
"Again, you are making the assumption that they believe they took it in the shorts. I never said anything of the sort. I said they took less. and that's it. Its us fans who believe they took it in the shorts. But I am smart enough and capable enough to look at the other point of view. Something that you clearly couldn't comprehend. "
Show me how I said they were taking it in the shorts. I was saying that they would not take it in the shorts just to look good to someone, so obviously they feel they got all that they could. Obviously I know it's the fans who feel they took it in the shorts, hence this whole thread where I am saying we got all that we could given the circumstances.
"But I am smart enough and capable enough "....and gosh darn it, people like you!
"Dude, YOU stated the argument with your BS thread to begin with.
BTW, I'm not miserable. On the contrary. I gave you the sh!tstorm you deserved for your poorly thought out post. You are the one who attacked everyone and basically said "to just DEAL". And that is a garbage attitude to take. People are allowed to vent their frustrations over what they percieve are inadequacies. Its their right to do so. And, while its your right to voice your opinion, its also your right to have to deal with whatever the reprecussions are for voicing that opinion. I do so love the 1st Amendment.
"
You don't start an argument.... which needs 2 people to be called an argument....with 1 statement not directed at you particularly. You took it personally somehow and started the argument by calling me a fool for having MY opinion. Other people can disagree with me and they have, and I respect it. I posted this just so others can voice their opinion based on the facts we now know aout the market for Cassel. They just didn't get as nasty as you, and attack me personally.
I am in no way hindering your right to have an opinion or voice it when I say that I feel we got all we could and we need to accept it. It's usually easy to spot the moron in the crowd when they start b!tching about their 1st amendment rights. You aren't marching on washington... you're trying to flame me in an online football forum
You're rebuttals are getting weaker and weaker which tells me that I realy am getting to you, and you really are grasping at straws.
I am starting to feel bad, as if i'm picking on the greeter from wal-mart.
Have fun flaming me some more. I am going to read some posts from intelligent football fans, who don't feel they get pounded in the arse personally over this.
