SDS

This really applies to their day jobs and the work they do in support of that. Anyone who engages in politics/musical/misc... banter knows the deal when they enter that world.

I would like to state upfront what the policy is here, and I'm embarrassed that it has to be spelled out for some of you. We have some special guests here that provide their time, knowledge and insight to us and for that we are grateful. They do this for free. We welcome their participation and we will do what we need to do in order to facilitate that. Feel free to engage these individuals with your questions and your comments in a reasoned, tactful manner. You don't have to like what they report. You don't have to agree with what they report. But I can assure you that from this point forward your engagement with them on THIS forum will be respectful. If you can't phrase your comment or objection as if these individuals were sitting across the dinner table from you - then just keep it to yourself. Plain and simple. Just don't write it. If you lack restraint - we will quickly provide that for you. We wish you luck in your future endeavors. This goes for old-timers and newbies alike. For those of you wanting to argue this - don't bother. I will not side with your lack of civility, I will not side with ignorant ramblings over professionalism. Let me reiterate, tactful criticism and skepticism are welcomed. Being a rude jackass is not.

hey kenny - I'm going to need to see a full size pic of that avatar...

Yeah, that's how I want my HOF candidates chosen - 10 guys stuck in their mother's basement voting 100,000x each.

Bills signed CB Drayton Florence to a two-year, $6.6 million contract. He can make $700K more in incentives. Florence, 28, is going to another zone scheme after flopping in Jacksonville's. The Bills didn't overpay, though, and Florence will be protected as a slot corner between Terrence McGee and Leodis McKelvin. Florence has a history of getting roasted outside.

any argument you make is undermined when you include stuff like this. if you don't know why he was fired in KC then you probably have no idea about anything else you have written about him.

"If it was too conservative then, what is it with the widespread spread offenses 12 years later?" is not intelligible.

That quote isn't even written in English. How the hell do you love it?

The guy is the proverbial assclown with a gift of gab. You would think someone with his accomplishments would be sought after... but he is not. Because people who actually have followed what he has done and his role in that success - see him for what he is. A guy who lasted 7 years longer than he should have because he could talk his way out of an Al Qaeda prison camp.

I never knew this board had a monolithic voice on any topic... save for ICE's butchered attempts at reading comprehension.

yeah, my reply was really over emotional...

Thanks Tim. Well done!

I have the opposite opinion...

Maybe you could have just said "I'm skeptical..." and left it at that?

He got most of it right. Marty wanted the job and was turned down. That IS the story. Who turned him down is very important, but secondary.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! CNN has the MOTHER of all losers, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, commenting about how Coakley !@#$ed up. She should know - losing Maryland to Bob Ehrlich.

Brown and Gailey in the same day? Are you kidding me? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQXNi9d1WvE

haha... what position?

yeah, I see the country going back to ink well and scrolls in a few years... Social media will never go away.

why not just stop digging and apologize for being an offensive ass?

a nice long bath will wash the sand out...

the 1st step to better health is a good diet and exercise. That's Marty... It doesn't mean you'll be a model when you're done, but you are better than when you started.

I don't have the answers to that question. What I do know is that it has been reported that someone who worked with him in SD wanted to hire him. If he was losing it on the sideline, why would a GM make the mistake of signing off on it? Unless they decided to throw Ralph under the bus on this one and Nix didn't want to say no to his friend.

wow. It's good thing you said it because no one else has ever offered up such an opinion. Thanks for pulling the trigger on that.
