  1. 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?

  5. haren doesnt totally suck ass
  6. 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?

  10. You said Joe Thomas would be a force for 10+ years, that's the same as saying "sure thing". This is a stupid argument, as I think Joe Thomas will probably be a hell of a player for a long time. It's just that he and Gallery are comparable, and Gallery bombed.
  11. If I'm getting those two receivers, I start Schaub and draft Joe Thomas. That would be a wise move. Joe Thomas will be a force for 10+ years. Robert Gallery was supposed to be the same thing and that's turned out great for the Raiders. But that's just because it's the Raiders so other teams should have nothing to worry about. I didn't know too much about Gallery, but Joe Thomas is legitimate. I think he is the safest bet in the draft. Maybe being a Raider killed his career, but he has nothing to do with Joe Thomas. We can run down a long long list of Top 10 quarterbacks who were busts, but they have nothing to do with Brady Quinn or JaMarcus Russell. You said that Joe Thomas is "legit", well Gallery was regarded just as high or higher than Thomas is. Gallery was a "sure thing", too at one point. No draft pick, especially a offensive lineman is a sure thing.

  14. I dont think that guy is going to show up. If it was up to me, you would be in. hold your horses
  15. This fact proves that these projections mean little in real life I doubt you even know what WARP is, so I'm not sure how you can make this claim. I think the projections are a little wonky too, but I'm not tossing out the whole system here.
  16. Wasn't this mentioned as early as last season?
  17. Wow. Put me in the crow eating group that said we would never sign him.
  18. Quick, someone send this list to Sean Gallagher!
  19. If memory serves, I seem to recall him saying he tried steroids very briefly and couldn't discern a real benefit from them. If you ever seen House in person, he's tiny, maybe 5'7"-5'8" on a good day, from what I recall he might've been one of the 1st to try steroids to add velo and that's probably the 1st time he realized that maintaining flexibility is more important than adding mass as it didn't add velo. He believes in nutritional supplements to help speed up the recovery time between outings. That is exactly correct. You will not find your fastball in a weight room. Pitching is mainly a speed of movement activity. Weight lifting does not train pitchers to improve in that area. Juan Cruz is a good example of this. He is really thin, but he generates his velocity from his speed of body movement. Good mechanics with a smooth delivery and with proper timing is how you generate a 90mph fastball. r u a pitcher or sumthin
  20. That's exactly what he just said, Mr. Echo.
  21. I for one hope he plays another 15 years in the majors, none for the Cubs, though.
  22. Relate to the matter as they drop the bomb, because they're House'n
  23. I want Jose Reyes SS NY Mets By the way, KC, pm Tim and tell him to make us our own secret little forum for this league, and we can move all the draft stuff over there.
  24. I don't have particularly strong feelings about Sammy one way or the other, but heres hoping that he kept himself in baseball shape.
