I'll take that as a "I brought nothing" to the table.

then your next stop had damn well better be http://www.rhlschool.com/reading.htm

plenty of others on FR been able to have reasonable discourse with me. I'm not going to worry about the isolated bad attitude of a few people for whom irrational hatred of philadelphia drowns out rational thought.

You need to go here >>http://www.rhlschool.com/reading.htm<< and read up on insults.

You'll find out that the only one hurling insults has been you.

As far as the question, never mind. It's obvious you can only have discourse with people you agree with. As soon as there is the slightest disagreement, you turn ugly.

Too bad..you still need to grow up....soon!

riiiight - as people call ME an a--hole, and yet I continue to speak civilly. who exactly are you trying to convince here? considering that's not even clear, you're doing pretty badly thus far.

I, for one, could care less about your Eagles or your city. You're just (acting like) an arrogant, foolish kid who distorts others' words, makes false arguments, has a misguided bloated opinion of himself, and, you look like you need a little powder on your girlie face on your profile page.

To sum it up, you just love to hear yourself talk, to the point that you do not have the ability or desire to address specific thoughts of others. I'm sure this is also true in your personal life.

You're a self-absorbed youngster who has a much too inflated opinion of yourself. It's apparent you never competed in any sport at a very high level, you're just a bloviating Eagle fan........a spectator.

Nearly no FReepers put their picture on their profile page -- think about that for a moment! What's that say about you, kid? Need some loving, some attention? Yes, I fear that you do!

There is a more proper place for your face if you would like to show everyone on FR your sweaty mug. It's

http://hail.he.net/~danger/freepnet/album/ --

FR album

My mug is there but under my previous handle. I'll tell you what that handle was if you promise to visit a psychiatrist to treat your growing narcissism.......... and if you also end your inane, vain, and ineffectual comments about the Steeler game and strategy. You are clueless on that but you seem to be well aware of your own team.

****

Take it easy and find some powder. LOL!

Was Minnesota favored going into that game? ---

I don't remember, but more than likely. I'll check it out....... but not right now.

you have a LEGITIMATE call to complain about on 2nd down two snaps earlier - then again, if THAT caught NE by surprise, I'm sure it would have been brilliant five days later.

You get dumber with each post, don't you? Burress got two hands on that pass and dropped it. It was a tough catch but he had it and lost it. It WAS a decent call by the coaches. You really are making an *ss of yourself.

Please stop talking about this particular game that you know little about.

I think this is the part where evad comments on the level of MY discourse, right?

*sigh* - you're not the first person in recorded history to resort to condescension after getting methodically flayed in an argument, and you won't be the last. oh well.

what's this? I thought you weren't replying to me anymore. shouldn't a grown-up like you be able to keep his promises? after all, you're so mature and wise. or so I read somewhere.

Anything there untrue? Address the remarks, kid. "You can't handle the truth."

sooo... first you tell me, among the oh-so-constructive criticism in post 2226, that I just love to hear myself talk, then, in 2271, you demand, of all things, that I talk about myself?

apparently, I'm now supposed to describe my football career to you at length (not to mention my writing and broadcast experience) so you can ignore my credibility anyway and make some comment about a snapshot on my profile page?

if it's getting hard to remain consistent from one minute to the next, do us all a favor and step away from the keyboard, 'kay?

I was giving your a chance to redeem yourself, but of course you didn't.

You made a statement to me that the play call (the pass to Burress) was bad, questionable, could be complained about didn't you? Then I addressed that. I said to you that I have and had no complaint with that call. No complaint! Burress is expected to make a catch like that on a play such as that. So, it was cool with me for our staff to make that call. He had the substantial height advantage, it was his to catch. But you did not address my reply to you.

You see, this is what you continually do. You fail to reply to the previous comments specifically.

Now I'll ask you one more time, what do you have to say to me about my belief that the play involving the throw to Burress was a decent call? Anything to say about that? Do you still think that call should have been complained about?

You just don't want to answer the question because if you had a brain for PLAYING football, and if you were a mature adult concerning this, you would be able to admit that you misspoke. But, alas, you never do. You never do.

A character flaw, perhaps.

LOL!!! No one asked you to describe your career, football or otherwise. There you go again, getting it wrong again. I just have a gut feeling from all you have said that you had little to no athletic career at a "very high level". Right or wrong?

Yeh, you were a second string kicker at a school with 29 players and 28 uniforms. Kid, you can't fool most of us. Believe me.

Totally delusional thought..
calling people idiots, as you do, is not civil discourse OR "speaking civilly".

Did you go back and read that link I sent you..it would really help with your problem....maybe. Anyway, it's worth a try.

Again, have a nice day :)

it was already complained about by many people (including steeler fans) earlier in this thread. are they morons too because they diagree with you on one playcall? don't you get it? the only person who would coach every play the way you would is YOU. bill cowher has proven himself over many years, through a LOT of player/personnel turnover, to be a very capable head coach in a big football town. even being IN that 4th-quarter position after the horrid start in a revenge situation against a great opponent says a lot for how well he coached that game in particular. but I forgot - you watch the games, so you know his players better than he does, right?

it's certainly your prerogative to sit in front of your computer and line-item out the playcalls you don't like three days later, but if you don't like bill cowher, I hear rich kotite hasn't done much since that sopranos cameo and could use a job.

you don't know how lucky you have it. your team has now lost more conference title games at home than mine, but I don't see anyone rubbing your nose in it. why? because they dramatically overachieved. they didn't blow an opportunity so much as stand up to a far superior team.

and get something straight - I don't need to redeem myself to you. unless your name appeared on an arena (or pro) football roster, I probably know a little bit more about the inside of a huddle than you do. I don't enjoy pulling rank, but if you play with fire, it will burn you. just think of the amount of time we've spent debating one playcall that a coach gets about TEN SECONDS to decide on while getting input from a half dozen assistants and players. your constant assertions that I don't know this and that sound like the usual ranting of someone whose football experience starts with madden and ends with a four-digit number.

hth.

Are you EVER, EVER going to answer a question??

You see lfb, that's the problem with you. You won't answer even the simplest of questions.

Saying that others disagreed with the call is not the same as giving an answer for your own opinion. That's what dimocrats do...
uh oh, I think I just go it. You're John Kerry, right?

Who did the Eagles play that had a defense in the playoffs?

atlanta's defense was all we heard about - until we dropped a train on 'em.

I've already said how I felt about the call. in that situation, I would have run between the tackles on all three downs - nothing fancy or slow developing - MAYBE a trap in there somewhere, maybe ONE play over Marvel Smith. but no counters, pitches, sweeps, etc. definitely would not have thrown the ball.

I'd offer my reasoning, but you aren't the slightest bit interested in actual discussion.
