Fox getting teary eyed while talking about Jake's release...

[CatMan72]

So I guess you guys think Mike Minter is a pussy since he cried at his retirement press conference?

[frash.exe]

You missed the point as usual. It isn't how much you get paid or what you do so much as when you have a dangerous job in which you have to rely on others for your safety, you develop relationships unlike most jobs. Therefore the usual comparisons about separating business and personal feelings don't apply. Since some of you couldn't relate to the military comparison I brought it to the realm of the community we live in. If you can't understand the concept then there really is little to say.

Any rational person won't understand the concept because it's absurd. Don't even try to tell me how not being able to save a loved family member trapped in a burning home because entering the dwelling is too much of a hazard could be compared to anything football related. I don't care if you trivialize your own experiences past the point of overindulged sarcasm but if you graduate to that level I will shame you the f**k out of here and into thisboardrocks.

It is like trying to teach a pig to whistle. It pisses off the pig and wastes my time.

No it sounds more like a pretentious demented old man that loves using old fashioned cliches to make himself sound cultured trying to convince a bunch of people that organized sport is somehow comparable to a profession in which you wake up in the morning and don't know if you'll be dead by nightfall.

Oh great now we're drawing the firemen and policemen comparisions. The military, the police, and firemen actually do a dangerous underpaid service to the community...this is getting rediculous.

wait till the part where they somehow parallel worrying everyday about a blood unloading an entire clip behind your back just because you wear a badge with being hit over the middle trying to catch a pass by a roving safety.

I have no problem with a coach being emotional.

Dick Vermeil, Marv Levy and Bill Walsh all were known to show their emotions from time to time, and they were pretty successful.

ahhahahahhahahhahahhaaaaaaa isn't this ironic

Mike Solarte made a great point on Facebook. Tiger Woods shows absolutely no emotion whatsoever while talking about his life unraveling and his wife and kids being dragged into it. Half the people think he's sincere, the other half think he looks like a fifth grader reading someone else's words.

Fox, Hurney and Delhomme's voices all crack yesterday discussing Jake's release from the team, and some tears are shed. Half the people watching think it's ridiculous and the other half think it's a sign that damn it, they cared and that passion is why they were fans of the three involved in the first place.

You just can't please all the people all the time. You can't even please most of the people. Ask any president.

[Zod]

Yeah, and yesterday the pussies were pleased almost as much as Zod's highchool prom night.

[Cat]

Yeah, and yesterday the pussies were pleased almost as much as Zod's highchool prom night.

I think you're jealous cause they didn't cry when you left

[Matt Foley]

Yeah, and yesterday the pussies were pleased almost as much as Zod's highchool prom night.

When referring to one's self in the third person, one should at least spell high school right.

[Zod]

When I go there, its highchool

note to P55

go get your metamucil

Note to Ragin Bull,

Go get a life.

[panthers55]

P55's credo

I will go back and forth with you and re-iterate the same illogical point over and over and over and over and over and over again until you get sick of responding so i get the last word in so stupid people will think that i won the argument.

Credo of Ragin Bull

Like my name, I will continue to argue even when I don't have a clue what I am talking about about. I will keep it up and go off on any little tangent I can to confuse the topic and make you give up under the onslaught of bull. I won't ever give up or admit defeat and when I am losing, will resort to personal attacks and belittling techniques like above.

Like usual, what in the hell is this bullcrap. Going down your usual tangent which is way off base. No one is belittling firemen or any profession and football is hazardous. For the rest of it, does anybody actually understand this drivel?

No it sounds more like a pretentious demented old man that loves using old fashioned cliches to make himself sound cultured trying to convince a bunch of people that organized sport is somehow comparable to a profession in which you wake up in the morning and don't know if you'll be dead by nightfall.

It is more like an unemployed waiter is trying to argue with a reasoned poster in order to appear more credible and pretend that his high schol education was put to good use even though it is obvious that when you speak you show your limitations. No one is saying that Firefighting or being a police officer is the same as football simply that the bonds that you form in an dangerous profession where teamwork and high stress are inherent in the job result in personal relationships which transcend the usual boss employee relationship. Your morphing that into a literal discussion of exact dutes of life and death comparisons even though I specifically said that football wasn't life or death is a lack of reading comprehension and failure to be able to step out of a concrete mode of thinking and see obvious correlations.

wait till the part where they somehow parallel worrying everyday about a blood unloading an entire clip behind your back just because you wear a badge with being hit over the middle trying to catch a pass by a roving safety.

ahhahahahhahahhahahhaaaaaaa isn't this ironic

Againit is obvious that your concrete simplistic thinking doesn't allow you any abstract ability to compare situations on more than a concrete basis. And if you think this discussion is a literal discussion of how these type of jobs are exactly alike or present the exact same type of challenges, then you are too limited to be able to have a metaphysical discussion. Next time I will try and present more literal concrete examples for those of you too slow to grasp the larger picture or make more abstract comparisons.

[panthers55]

And your point stinks as usual.

Great comeback. I bet you worked on that one for at leasy 20 minutes.

[monstercat]

You know, Steve Smith cried after a game last year. I wonder how many of you E-gangstas have the nads to call him a pussy to his face, without a camera, witnesses, or weapons?

I'll tell you what... I will even bend those rules and go with you. Then, 20 seconds after you do it, and you're laying on the ground bleeding and (ironically) crying, I'll take you to the hospital, and later I will testify on your behalf in the lawsuit... if you would be willing to split the money with me that is.

[pstall]

the tough internet talk is proportional to the lack of spine in reality..scientists agree

[Panthro]

I talk as much poo in person as I do online. That argument is laughable
