I'm fine with it as long as everyone realizes it's all Segal's fault.
:waitingforcraptohitthefan:
Have you read the Tango thread? That is far from boring.
the prom dream thread really needs to be bumped if anyone can find it. it should be an annual rite of preseason. we revive that thread for a good chuckle and then launch into the season.
Its in the ASFN Hall of Fame forum so its read only but its still available for viewing pleasure

tangodnzr said:I Can Dream Can't I?
Well, it’s 5 am in the morning and I still can’t get to sleep. I found myself lying awake, a million thoughts racing through my mind. I tried to tell my self that yesterday was just another day, disappointing but nothing to lose any sleep over.
But the reality is….it wasn’t just another day. And I can’t sleep. I guess I feel like the woman who has watched her marriage crumble and yesterday was the day it finally came to an official end.
Not only have I lost my handsome prince who was going to be the answer all my dreams, but the whole family is in turmoil.
I will always love you Jake, and I know that deep down you still love me too. You were my handsome prince, and you rode in and swept me off my feet. What a wonderful courtship it was. I was just a plain girl, always passed over by the most popular boys. But you told me you saw my beauty, and I believed you. It seemed like we were just made for each other. I’ll never forget that day in ’98 when you brought me that gorgeous new gown and took me to the prom in Dallas. I will treasure that forever. But then I saw things starting to change.
The kids were now running around the house screaming “daddy, daddy” buy us more toys like you used to. I saw the strain in your face as now sometimes bills started becoming overdue. You kept trying, determined to be all that you promised you would. But I could also see the confidence receding too. But you bravely kept trying everything in your power to still make it all work. Even when the kids, kept screaming at you, and you would sometimes get so frustrated you would say, “I don’t even give a rats ass”. I knew you didn’t really mean it, that you still, deep down, loved all of us and wanted things to work. But now you’ve left me. We both saw it coming, I knew it was only a matter of time until some fairy princess came along and caught your eye.
I don’t blame you. Life is like that sometimes. I want to hate you for running out on us, but I also know you really did try, and that’s all I could ask for. I will miss you a lot. But I do wish you well, even though every time I see you with her, I will feel a little twinge of jealousy and a little pain in my heart for what might have been but didn’t turn out to be. I guess instead of Prince Valiant, you ended up more Willie Loman.
And to top it off, then David , the Greek god who came into the family and seemed like he could carry us on his shoulders wherever we wanted to go. But it all turned out to be virtual reality, and instead of our saving Hercules he turned out to be more of an Icarus, He thought he could be god. And he flew to close to the sun and melted his wings. Now I see him like a gladiator in the land of Thor. And when I go to the arena, I will still marvel at his wondrous strength. But I will feel a little bitterness, a sense of betrayal and a feeling that not only were his wings of wax, but his heart was to. The applause will only be polite and restrained at best.
There have already been new suitors stopping by, to preen and pay their respects. And I smile, yet the hurt holds back my trembling hand. I can’t help but feel some of their smiles are painted and their words little sugar cookies, but they glance sideways at the kids and my cellulite. The reality has struck, my Camelot has taken a heavy hit. The hard part is, that it all has affected so many others in the family too. And the kids don’t understand. All they know is daddy’s gone and all they can do is jump and scream and say look at me. I am important too. I hate daddy for leaving.
Thank god for Marcel and a lot of the rest of the family. We’ve all been through a lot, but hopefully now this dark and lonely night may indeed be showing the traces of dawn.
Now I will hope that someone does come along, who will accept me for what I am, and what I know I can be, kids and all. I can dream can’t I.
Footballstone said:Okay, it's time for all of you Michael Stone haters to eat your words this season. He hasn't had a chance to get on the field at all and I believe its because of bad coaching. Mike Stone is one of the most talented and quickest CB's on the field and he will let you know it this season.
There is a new coach who knows what the hell he is doing as far as development, and contrary to popular belief, Stone is no dumb cookie. (3.5 GPA in Architecture) He wll turn the tables this season and is already making headway in camp. It is amazing how you fans speak with so little intelligence. Just because you see Stone not playing, or worse players starting over him, does not mean that he sucks. It may be political. It may be coahing. It may be that certain previous coaches were only concerned about playing "their selections." I happened to come upon this website and the ignorance just sickened me. This kid has more talent than a little bit and I do believe that he will get his shot. He is smarter that anyone out there, trust me, I know him. And the only reson that certain players were playing over him is that they had certain connections (ie: Michigan State) with the old coach. You guys really need to get a clue and know what you are talking about before you type your little opinions into your little computers.
If Stone is so little and scrawny, how can he bench 225 lbs. 17 times in a minute? How much can you jerks bench, sitting behind you computer, or in front of the TV? Maybe 95 lbs, if you're lucky! So please spare us all with all that talking out the side of your necks cause someone who knows what they are talking about might just come back and clown your asses on it.
that's better than i even remembered. i'm sorry, it deserves a new thread for the newbies that have never read it. it cannot stay buried. it needs to breath!
Actually, the thread where Michael Stone's sister came on and told us how he was going to break out under the new regime is on there, too. Here's the first post:
Edit: that was posted in July 2003. Stone didn't play a down in 2003, and has collected 37 career tackles.
I think ASFN should lift the lifetime ban on Tango once a year for a week when it's REALLY dead in here around May/June just to boost web-hits/circulation. IIt would be so much fun... or just create an entire Cards/Tango sub-forum which could be the only place he could post and talk to other people. That would just be awesome.
so you're suggesting a virtual cage for tango on this site? you can go and view him or even play with him a little before leaving for the outside mainstream world. it would be like a fetish forum. i like the concept. but the potential danger looms great if he escapes. it's like bringing kong back to the mainland! you're playing with potential fire. okay, maybe more like bringing kong in a tutu.
I have been thinking pretty much the same thing for a while.I think ASFN should lift the lifetime ban on Tango once a year for a week when it's REALLY dead in here around May/June just to boost web-hits/circulation.
