It’s like reading a good book. I didn’t want Lord of the Rings to end. It was so good. But when once you put it down, then you can pick up The Hobbit. And that’s really good too.

So....NOW I realized how huge a mistake it was to let Josh go....He appreciates/enjoys The Lord of the Rings...  I am crying on the inside now...

OK, not really, but I did not know that about him.  Now, I would love to nerd out with him even more!  Even if he's the enemy!

I guess me being an adult, I just don't see the reasoning behind folks feeling the need to throw their 2 cents in where is really isn't needed? It always reminds me of a child that just has to let you know they are unhappy.

 

Anyway, it always reminds me of my brother in law.  Never let an opportunity pass in which you are able to show your superiority. I mean, it you don't let folks know you are superior, how they gon learn?

 

Maybe we should bring back neg rep for the thread Nazi. Nah, they probably get off on that.

 

But then again. There are threads that are stupid. But, we can mostly tell a stupid thread without some yahoo telling us.

 

For me, I just get tired of the vocal moral minority trying to tell me what to think. I have a wife for that.

Why are you so upset? The dumbass is talking about reading the books out of order...

Edit: And he's comparing the far superior trilogy to the children's book that isn't as good or in depth.

If that isn't a metaphor for what has happened, I don't know what is.

I know, but he's still reading!  Not self help and leadership or gardening book, but my LOTR books.  

With professional athletes, I have low expectations =P

He went to Coastal Carolina, not UNC.

He's literate.

i bet he does get into a fight. he is so stoked about being "unleashed" in the redskins' system and culture. he'll probably come into their camp looking to assert his dominance on the defense and will get under the offense's skin pretty quickly. at first this will be touted as leadership and bringing toughness and attitude to the team. the message board posters and the media will point to last offseason's Cam scuffle as proof that Josh is helping to elevate the team. he will continue to play with more and more confidence and an attitude through camp and the preseason, often looking good while doing so.

then, within the first 4 weeks, Josh will gamble hard in his new free system and will get roasted in at least one game by either Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown, or Odell Beckham. he will probably get into a scuffle on the field against one of these teams too and they will lose 2/4 games. this will cause some knee jerk reactions from the fans. as the rest of the first half of the season continues, free range josh will continue to be a mixed bag with high highs and low lows. the coaching staff will consider putting more structure in the game plan but josh will continue to gamble. by his second match up with Odell Beckham, the Giants will have learned to play Josh with deep speed routes all game long and by putting Beckham and others in the slot. Even though Josh won't have defended Beckham the entire game, he will be blamed for the massive game ODB has.

the Redskins will never get fully on the same page all season and will miss the playoffs. Jackson, Garcon, and Cousins will leave the team in free agency in 2017. Josh will sit as the king of the team as they search for a new QB to rebuild their offense.

the next 2 years they will be 9-7 and 6-10. In the 2018 offseason Josh will be asked to restructure his contract or be released. he will opt to be released and his value will be severely diminished due to age and perceived system limitations. speculation will swirl that he could reunite with the panthers on a cheap deal. he is never brought in for a visit and fans will question why. eventually he will head out west on a short term deal for a California team and play out his final few years.

Their own misery is punishment enough.

I don't understand a quote in that SI article. Josh says that "I had never been on an airplane since college.” How can that possibly be the case?

You mixed up the quote. College was the first time he was on a plane.

" I had never been on an airplane before college"
