Is Polite around?

GET A LIFE! Seriously.

Seems like you have too much time on your hands and really care a bit too much what my opinion is

It only takes a few seconds to use the search function, so I'm sure Spider has plenty of time to make you look stupid and have a life.

Sorry, I have plenty of time to hold you accountable for streams of inconsistent nonsense that you post to this board.

The fact of the matter is, you had nothing but praise for Polite until he failed to convert one PRESEASON run with our best offensive lineman on the sidelines.  You predicted him to both make the team AND get cut.  And when he got cut, not only did you claim credit for "calling it," but you also claimed that the front office's decision proved that you were right... in sharp contrast to all the times that their decisions went directly against what you wanted.

The only difference is, I'd like to pump my fist into Mike O's chest, instead of into the air.  I'm sure a few others would as well.

you dislike me so much but you search my posts from last year curious to what I said on players. Sorry if I find that odd

[Spider-Dan]

It would be more accurate to say that I know from experience that you have little regard for consistency in expressing your opinion; therefore, when you say something (e.g. "Polite sucked all of last year") that is at odds with my memory, I know what's going to be there before I even click the search button.

Landshark has gone on record of saying he dislikes you pretty much.  Spider has gone on record of searching your posts to validate his argument.  You need to get your facts straight on who posts what instead of generalizing everyone attacking you.

MikeO is always right...didn't you guys get the memo?

Polite did suck last year. Just because I didn't type it everyday doesn't mean it didn't happen. But as always believe what you want

Did anyone else find this statement extremely ironic?

I find it more to be projection.

Since this thread is completely off topic anyway...

I will say that Mike has been getting better with his comments lately.  Yes, he still throws out the occasional ridiculous overstatement like "Polite sucks".  By no means does Polite suck.  He just wasn't worth the roster spot in many people's opinions.  His run blocking declined last year, but he doesn't "suck" because of it.

Hang in Mike.  And listen to the criticism with a constructive attitude.  I have noticed that you are making less blanket statements and have been more consistent lately.  It is probably good for you.  You got called out on this one and it appears Spider was right about your inconsistency on Polite from last year to this year.  If I were you I would just accept that you weren't consistant and try to be more so next time.  NO BIGGIE!

Sad to see Polite go, but I happen to think it is in the best interest of the team moving forward.  We are moving from an ultra conservative Dan Henning/Parcels regime to a less conservative and occasionally attacking Daboll/Sparano regime.  This was the right move at this point, IMO.

How about NO! I have an opinion. Feel free to disagree. I really don't lose sleep over this stuff guys, hate to break it to ya. If you don't agree with me I could care less.  I don't have to listen to any criticism and learn a damn thing. My attitude is fine. Spider didn't catch me in anything. I didn't talk about Polite much last year because he is a friggin FB and that was the least of our problems. But he was a bad player last year. Sorry if I didn't mention 10,000 times. But looking at our NEW offense, and how we won't use a FB much if at all anymore and especially one who has gotten worse each year and was downright poor last season....he needed to go. And yes he SUCKED last year. It has NOTHING to do with a preseason game either. Where he pulled that one from I have no idea.

And I love how changing ones mind from last year to this year is now called "inconsistency"....first off I didn't change my mind, but if I did, what your not allowed? Players don't get better or worse, so your first thought on them MUST be the thought you have for life about them? That's a damn joke!

No, you didn't mention him 10,000 times... you mentioned him once, and that one instance was to complain that he wasn't being used enough.

And yes he SUCKED last year. It has NOTHING to do with a preseason game either. Where he pulled that one from I have no idea.

It has to do with you having nothing negative to say about him until one missed conversion in a preseason game.  Then suddenly, not only does he suck now, but he has also sucked for some undefined period of time stretching back into the distant past.

And I love how changing ones mind from last year to this year is now called "inconsistency"....first off I didn't change my mind, but if I did, what your not allowed? Players don't get better or worse, so your first thought on them MUST be the thought you have for life about them?

I'm not surprised to see that you are puzzled by the concept of consistency.  Let me explain it for you:

If I endorse a player (say, Reggie Bush) today, and after several games of poor play, I decide that I no longer support him, that's fine.  That's "changing your mind."  But what I cannot do is turn around and claim that Reggie Bush has always sucked and that I never wanted him on this team, because that conflicts with my previous statements in the past.  That's what "inconsistency" means.

So yes, it's not-at-all inconsistent for you to change your mind (after, say, one failed preseason conversion) and say that Polite is now useless and needs to be discarded.  I mean, I think it's dumb to completely re-evaluate a player based on one preseason play, but you can change your mind.  But don't try to rewrite history and claim that he's sucked for the last year to try to bolster your argument today.  You didn't say so then, and you aren't exactly shy about calling out the players you dislike.

[MikeO]

didn't know I was a politician who had to be "on the record" with my thoughts on all 53 players on the roster at all times.

you dislike me a lot, its clear. Don't get so worked up by my opinions. It's not worth it. You clearly think I am an idiot and a fool, that's cool. I feel the same about you. So don't get worked up over what I say and let it go.

At least people have quit calling it flip flopping now.

You're just itchin' to give someone their walking papers, aren't ya, Professor?
