  1. The problem is he doesn't have any accomplishments. Yup. 2003 was crap. So was 2004. He accomplished to construct an 88 and then an 89 win team, that in the end accomplished nothing more than one playoff series win. So, I guess that's what we have in the accomplishment category, one playoff series. 4 years, one series win. A sub .500 record. Yay for lowered expectations. So the A's didn't accomplish anything until recently? Right on. The A's also did managed their accomplishments in a tougher league, with payrolls under consistently under 60 million dollars. Why is context so difficult? Who cares about context? Just win the damn series. Cardinals won it with 83 wins and a couple boxes of band aids for their ailing lineup. Why does it matter that they did it in an easy division? They're the Champs....and the A's aren't. That's what matters. Who cares about context? If you don't understand the importance of context when comparing two teams accomplishments, then i dont know what to say. The rest of the stuff you wrote has nothing to do with what I said, so I'm not sure why you posted it. You certainly formed letters into words, though, so nice job on that.

  8. I lost the championship by like 1 game last year, so I want revenge.
  9. But what if you dont believe that this happened, much less is possible? It always bothers me when people say something like this. It doesnt matter if you dont believe it, it offends the people that do believe it, which there are 2 billion of. Oh, but it does. I'm going to guess that there are a lot of things you do on a day-to-day basis that would offend a follower of Islam, which has almost 2 billion members as well. Are you going to cut out all of that? Why not?
  10. i said dempster. the seeds were planted last year

  16. Wait, he just quit the Dallas job to take the Arkansas job
  17. I heard Saban quit Alabama today to take the Dallas job
  18. and people who alter neifi's and juan's names to make fun of them are also lame. Seriously, this jesus stuff is so annoying. I can't even say "[expletive]" at the bar without someone getting in my face about it. Hello, we're at the bar getting drunk, trying to find a girl to have sex with, how can you be upset about "taking the lords name in vain" when we're breaking a million bible rules at the same time? In the past I've received multiple pms from Cheesehead calling me a bitch, you think god was cool with that?

  21. just showing off my b.a. bears avatar edit: well i was, before the man struck me down
  22. haren doesnt totally suck ass
  23. Well then why even pay any attention to the draft? I mean why would a Raider fan want Brady Quinn because other QB's have bombed, or why would they want Calvin Johnson because Charles Rodgers bombed with the Lions, we could go on and on. What makes him and Gallary more comparable than Johnson and Rodgers? Or Quinn and Ryan Leaf? Calm down. Someone mentioned Gallery in conjunction with Thomas, being that Gallery rated higher than Thomas is likely to, and still bombed. You said you didn't know anything about Gallery, but that Thomas would be a "force for 10+ years". I gave you a little info on Gallery, and somehow you took offense. I'm very calm, what implied that I wasn't? In what way did I take offense? I asked a legitimate question about how Thomas is more like Gallory than any other player in this draft is like a former bust at the same position. Still waiting for an answer. The question is "how is he different?". And you won't know the answer for awhile, ala Gallery. You said Thomas was a sure thing and that you didnt know anything about Gallery, so I filled in some blanks for you, it's as simple as that, I don't know what synapse is taking a nap and keeping you from figuring this out. I said Thomas is the safest bet in this draft TO ME, and I think he is going to be a great player for years to come. I am basing that on watching every game he played for the last two years and knowing a lot about his work ethic, and the type of person he is fom people who know him very very well. I have no idea what type of work ethic Gallory has. Why are you so dense that you do not understand what I am saying? How are the Thomas/Gallory compairisons valid? Because they were both highly ranked linemen? Well then like I said earlier we could do that for every single player in this draft. What synapse is taking a nap in your head, and keeping you from figuring this out smart guy? Take it easy, you said you didn't know anything about Gallery, so I helped you out. The same things you're saying about Thomas were said about Gallery, and then some. I'm just pointing out something, that's all. Don't instigate by being an idiot and then tell me to calm down when I reply. Again you don't answer my question. I assume you have no answer, and there is no evidence at all that Thomas is more like Gallery than any other player in this draft is like any other former bust at the same position. I based my OPINION of Thomas on knowledge from watching him play every game for the last few years and what I heard from someone very close to him. That person is a former longtime NFL offensive lineman who trains with Thomas in the offseason and says Thomas has the raw talent of a Boselli (sp?) and the best work ethic he has ever seen. Anyway, it is apparent you have nothing to add, so I'm done with this debate. Good day. I don't think you have followed this conversation very well at all. What did I say again that was untrue?
