I read your O.P. 3 times before responding to it. When I responded, I put in a gif without words, because I knew where the thread was going to go, and the gif was just a reflection of that. You then came back with a comment about return that made absolutely no sense given BB's history with the franchise tag, yet I didn't respond to that, since I tend to give your posts a soft approach knowing your posting predilections.
The next thing I responded to was your talk about getting as much in return as possible. I simply posted that having Brady happy and Welker's on-the-field production was the best return possible. In response, among other things, you essentially claimed to know what the team was thinking just because they didn't sign Welker to a long-term deal
and then continued the downward spiral by just throwing crap against the wall while not having any evidence, at all, to back your claim:
At that point, along with your follow up post, you were insulting the intelligence of everyone on the board, and I noted that. I then spoke about bowing out of the thread, but you decided to get snarky about "the same old suspects" in a follow up post, so I posted links to other threads on the same, beaten-to-death-and-beyond topic, because that's where your O.P. belonged in the first place.
What's funny is that you posted "This thread isn't going to gain me any popularity points here", yet you still got all offended over people posting against the thread. Now, once again, you decide to fire off, and specifically pointed to me, so here we are. And, on that note, I'd like to think we can end the back-and-forth portion of this.
