  1. While I wouldn't want Jerry Jones specifically as my owner, as a New York Yankees fan (I'm from NY) I've always loved Steinbrenner. People complained about buying championships and I applauded. He cared THAT much about winning that he would pay exhorbinant amounts of money (and then make even more money) to win.

    He, like Jerry Jones, got a bit too involved in running the actual team. I think Billy Martin was fired and rehired like 5 times in one season. Craziness. But having an owner that is THAT invested in the team, emotionally, and has a ridiculously strong desire to win is VERY enviable.

    There seem to be plenty of owners of major sports teams that really do only care about making money and not if their team wins. The Marlins are an obvious example.

    But it's a thin line of enthusiastic owner and owner who fugs withs team and screws it up constantly. So I'd say no to Jerry Jones but I wouldn't hate him. Part of him reminds me of Steinbrenner. And for the record I like Jerry Richardson's story of being a player and getting rich off of a business and creating the team. Seems like a nice guy I guess. That's not really important to me. But I do agree with some that have said this whole thing is kinda phony. Maybe not completely but the hard, moral stand wasn't made until after the Rice video dropped. So who knows how it all really played out behind closed doors but there are elements that ring a little phony and geared toward PR and the vision JR has of himself or what he wants others to think. In my never to be humble opinion.

    Steinbrenner never had to deal with a salary cap.

    When Jones started having to compete on a level playing field rather than just being able to outspend everyone, his team stopped winning Super Bowls.

  2. Yes let's be real and go off the only information we have indicating one way or another. Josh said Greg told him he'd play here for free. His social media has supposedly been Panthers fans pleading for the Panthers to bring him back all over it. I'm pretty certain he would've gladly taken a 1 year $6M deal here if we would've offered it.

    Go back to Monsta's post.

    Igo's theory was that the chatter about him playing for us for cheap was a fallback strategy in case he didn't get any offers.

    I'd say that's a pretty solid theory given that for quite a while, he didn't. And now that he has signed, the team that did it is getting plenty of backlash.

    So no, I don't buy it. Never did.

  3. No, due process is what the 49ers did with McDonald. Even when the media wanted him suspended (not as publicized as hardy) the 49ers stood by him when she had pictures and kept him on the field. As soon as poo got hot we crumbled.

    Not saying hardys the difference in us winning a superbowl, but I'd rather be the team who puts morals second with Lombardis to show for it then the one who does everything morally right but still waiting to win one. But it's a okay, we can sleep good at night lmao

    Not sure I'd equate those two.

    McDonald's first incident was investigated by a cop who worked part time for the 49ers doing security. Surprise surprise, no charges filed.

    Of course, McDonald is an utter moron so he went and got himself arrested yet again, and an embarrassed 49ers team had little choice but to boot him in order to save face

  4. I was hoping you'd say gold with blue polka dots. Is a plaid goose rarer than a blue goose?

    Couldn't tell ya. Everything I know about geese - real or imagined - wouldn't fill an index card.

    My nephew used to have a pet goose and my girlfriend's daughter had a duck for a while. Plus I used to live in a town that had a Blue Goose Motel but I never stayed there.
