I would respond to you differently if I weren't a moderator but being a moderator ties my hands. All I will say to you is to move on. Last warning.
I really hate the f'n offseason...All kinds of off the the wall shit happens around here mainly because there's not a helluva lot going on. No real drama with the team, the press, the FO, the CS, nada. For once its nice and quiet but hey, we can't have that shit so lets start something out of nothing and watch it blow up... There's a fckn game on tonite people.. Concentrate on that instead of this petty bullshit..
Dierking, I know its entertaining in a morbid kind of way but lets focus on the Jets. We've been suffering way too long to let the opportunity to enjoy and talk about the team get eclipsed by petty personality conflicts and such.
Serious question. How do you put up with the almost 50 years of heartbreak and suffering this team has gone through? I sometimes wonder if I sentenced myself to a lifetime of punishment by becoming a fan of this team ~15 years ago.
Well, I'm a native New Yorker and a Capricorn so by nature, I look at things from a Skeptical, glass half empty approach. I hope for the best, but always try to plan for the worst. It helps that I've been a life long fisherman which teaches patience and a long term view. In recent decades, I've taken a more realistic and mature approach to the Jets. I've long since stopped listening to the FO, the CS, the PR. In my adult life I am a results oriented person. I don't half do shit in my professional life nor in my personal life. As such, I'm officially in "Show Me" mode and have been since the days of Rex. Wifey is from Mizzou so I get the Mizzou POV everyday..
Sounds like the right way to handle being a fan of a championship starved franchise. I remain cautiously optimistic that Macc is the guy who will get us a Lombardy Trophy. Maybe I'm wearing green and white glasses , but he seems to be improving as a GM. Just needs to bolster the OL and pass rush next offseason. The former is obviously more urgent than the latter. Maybe I haven't suffered enough to become as skeptical as you are.
Only time will tell... Maybe we can get Thanos to intervene.. In the meantime, I'll observe and see what the results will be. Macc will be as successful a GM as the team. Same for Bowles. Either the team improves on the field or not. The results will shine either a warm or a harsh light on this franchise.
I would abandon this path as nothing good will come of it. There's a game on a 8pm on ESPN. We're here to talk about the Jets, not carry on personal beefs and such. Do us all a favor and move on from this. This is a fight you cannot and will not benefit from.
Man, what is with all the football talk in here. I thought this was about the many faces of Phillystaxx, at least for another two minutes or so.
Cman. I'm apparently being warned about something. I am asking what it is. You telling me to abandon this path does nothing to clarify the situation. Can someone please tell me what it is I am being warned about?
Honestly, its between you and Brook. I don't know what has transpired, but since its this important that you get it handled, I would suggest you PM Brook and you guys work it out privately. No need to broadcast this shit to the entire board. Copy?
Okay. Final decision is not to ban Defense Wins Championship. But he will be under close microscope. Okay. I will try. 1) Stop calling people troll. Report the post like everybody else does and allow us to do our job. 2) Stop bullying people. Don't act like the owner of the place. Every new comer is not fresh fish for you to bully. 3) Stop acting like I was trying to bait you into banning you. In the past you got away with a ton. If an asshole like Dierking is calling you out that means you really are getting away with stuff. 4) Stop playing the victim. Clear or no? If answers don't satisfy you please PM me so we can discuss. As this thread completed its life I am locking this. Like I said PM me if you want to continue.
