OK Ed, Cheese, Fan, and all you other naysayers out there, what kind of magical OIUJA board that you own could you have been able to figure out all the moves that would have turned this team into a perenial Superbowl contender? Show me! It's how the the luck of the draw turns men.
Oh, and by the way, how many offers have you freaking Rhodes Scholars had to become a GM in the National Football League?
Ummm, it's a freakin' game children. With moves made that are out of yours and mine control. If you don't like the moves, don't follow the team. I for one, am going to back the organization, because that's what a FAN does.
Can't the damn season start already - why can I see most of us just going at it for the next month or so until training camp starts.
Look - and I hope this is the last time I have to write this - darksiders and optimists aren't gonna see face to face on pretty much any issue - each side has and will be looking for anything to validate their opinions (see the elation at signing a sixth round pick thread or MY over-reaction to not signing Marcus Robinson) - let's just let it rest - we've been talking about the same damn thing for MONTHS!
Look - and this is what I think a lot of people who have told the Darksiders to get lost miss here - I can speak for only mysefl and my brother PHXSPORTS4LIFE - hopefully we will have a healthy buffet of Crow to eat during the season - I'll be first in line with a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon. We love this team just as much as any of you. Just because we are not as optimistic, forgving or taking a wait and see attitude doesn't mean we don't love this team and I for one am pretty tired of being told how I feel about this team or what kind of fan I am.
Thus since the wheel goes round and round - I wil not comment on Graves anymore - no one ever wins, and in my experience, it doesn't even seem like anyone pays attention to arguments made - it's understandable - everyone by this point pretty much know where everyone's opinion lie on this board - I get tired of making the same arguments to support my opinion as I assume most everyone else does.
I am excited for the season for a couple reasons. One, it's football - the greatest sport in the world and I am lucky enough to have a team to root for unlike my freinds here in Los Angeles who have nothing but the pathteic LA Avengers (nice win by the Rats last tonight by the way) 2. I have come around to the idea that having all these young guys at WR should be exciting (good or bad) 3. There should be some interesting questions that will be answered on the D-line - like should Joe Greene have a job - can Wendell be the man - was Pace a reach or a diamond in the rough? Can KVB play to the level he did his first year in the league before he got injured when I was excited about him? 4. Last - is this Mac's last year - can he truly be the motivator everyone has talked about - I saw it his first year with us, but not so much last year - I hope he returns to form.
So - the Darkside leader has rested for now. I'm just tired of these arguments. One last thing though, if there are major holdouts - the gloves are coming off again.
In the grand words of my mexican brother - Micah Lashbrook:
ADIOS!
