VA Bills Fan

After this, the Patriots now own 55 Jets.

SCANDAL at TBD!!!

There you go boss! See Grice's classic paper "Logic and Conversation" for the general framework employed by my use of the word "true." When you speak with a sarcastic voice you are flouting the maxim of manner ("avoid obscurity of expression"). When you flout a conversational maxim, and you are assumed to be a cooperative conversation partner, it is assumed that you are trying to communicate something other than the literal meaning of your words in an indirect way. Of course, this is the wrong inference, but unless people knew this habit of yours they couldn't help but making it. In such a case you are taking advantage of the fact that the meaning that you cause people to falsely believe is deniable, so you are being deceptive. If on the other hand you are with your friends who know this habit of yours, and they are not deceived, then it is just that your circle has a rather ornate and perhaps exclusive way of calculating conversational implicatures.

I'm a jersey guy - pulling for Barrington to make the squad and I'll be rocking his jersey.

You're right, good call -- I'll be coming home for Bucs and Pats so hopefully my doom and gloom will be proven wrong.

I love how people try to assess "how much of a fan" someone is haha. Bills and Syracuse hoops are the only things I care about sports wise and I consider myself a HUGE fan. I had a little fun with my low expectations and shared it. Maybe I'll be a better fan if I post 33K times in chat rooms, blinded with optimism.

You predicted a Browns like season.

Dang tough crowd --

agree on coaches and I hope you're right about Darby

haha "we have the FO now based on player feedback" -- like that's the gold standard. I was at least trying to bring a little humor to the mix, not lunacy.

Not upbeat about making playoffs, but our direction. CB and LBs worry me outside of glaring QB shortcomings. But our talent should keep us in most games -- need the coaches to bring it together. 2018 we gotta make it. Now calm down everyone.

Love this team, staff and direction. Just having some fun lighten up.

You're right - 6-10 baby. My mistake!

Hope this is wrong fellas
