Maybe not, all I can speak for is the Jets fans I'm friends with. We were all shitting out pants for the first 5 picks waiting for the trade. We knew we were getting Sanchez when Seattle took Curry. Of course, I also "knew" we were getting Justin Miller... then we drafted Mike Nugent... ok then Miller.
Yeah, none of us could be the GM. The whole premise of this thread is thoroughly ridiculous. I should not have even been included in it. Even if Woody Johnson lost his mind and fired the entire front office and went to TGG looking for the replacements and he offered me the GM job, I'd turn it down. My only problem with the voting is that nyjunc and Br4dw4y5ux received votes. nyjunc would be better suited for a media relations or community relations job. I would not want him doing actual football work. He would be a great shill for Johnson and the organization as a whole. I know that term has a negative connotation, but I am using it as a positive here. I truly feel that nyjunc would be a good ambassador for the team and that's what I meant when I wrote about nyjunc earlier in the thread. I'll have to re-read his response, but I think he interpreted it in a negative way. Br4dw4y5ux would be terrible. There would be all sorts of clashes with the head coach, scouts, and owner. If there wasn't a position open for him, one could be created. Senior football advisor sounds about right. Br4dw4y5ux is a smart guy, but in my humble opinion he would be entirely wrong for a GM or team president position.
That was a joke thread designed to spice up the baseball forum during dull times. Originally, my friend Ryan suggested I make a case for Kevin Bass to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I had previously done the same with Brian Sipe on another football forum. I really did make a serious argument for Sipe and it received all sorts of serious comments. It was an interesting exercise. Well, try as I might I simply could not find a way to make a case for Bass. I reported back to Ryan and he told me to go with the ass poll. I thought that went well. That thread is grade A material (TommyGreen's current sig makes me smile everytime I see it). You do realize I was going over-the-top on purpose, right? I mean, at least Dierking figured it out. It's not as if I was in a thread about the Buccaneers creamsicle jerseys and I noticed a player's crotch. Check out that thread to see who went "gay" on us there.
I'm sorry dude, but there's no chance in hell that you're going to convince us that your ass gazing thread was staged.
Again, I just wanted to see real quotes. That's why I checked. I didn't remember him saying that. I don't care if Mr. E comes across looking like an ass. I just want to see where he said it. Yep. He's not infallible, he's just better than most people here at finding talent. I've long wondered this about Mr E. Where the hell does he get the time to watch as much tape as he purportedly does? I've come to the conclusion that he absolutely has no life. And that makes him an invaluable resource. If Mr. E ever got a life, it would be better for him, and worse for the rest of us. WW85 I can't figure out. He actually has a family and still has time for this. Something does not compute. It's harder to care though, since he's generally kind to all. Just don't call the Dolphins and their fans gay. Who cares who votes for who? It's utterly meaningless and should have no bearing on how you feel about the guy. If you want to bash him, do it because he's an asshole, and get ready for him to come after you. The rest of us will just grab our popcorn.
I think it was pretty obvious that it was staged just as it was pretty obvious that the IgnatiousJReilly retard sex romp was staged. Now, the one from GreenHornet where he regaled us about how he stuck a shower nozzle up his rectum in China? I think that was a real story. The story seemed legit and that guy never fibs. He's all about integrity.
It's not my fault your dumbass wasn't nominated in this completely meaningless thread. I could honestly careless about this shit. Early Doucet and stud should never, ever be in the same sentence. Everson Griffen is a first round talent that slipped because he has shitty work ethic and he won't live up to his potential unless he puts it all together. I still think he's got the ability to be a damn good player in the league - his measurables are ridiculous. I start my first "real" job next Tuesday. I may have to pass the torch to someone sooner than expected. I really don't get how I can look like an ass for being wrong about a draft prospect. It's my opinion.
One major difference was that your thread wasn't a story. You posted what you thought was a serious question then backtracked using your "friend" as a scapegoat once you started getting made fun of. To claim otherwise is just sad. Let it go.
I thought it was pretty fucking obvious this thread was made as a purely hypothetical, never would actually happen type of thing.
Actually, I was just informed that I will be taking over for Mike Tannenbaum when his contract runs out after 2014.
Hey congrats, you think I can get that waterboy position? My comment was in response to those who continue to be offended that the OP question could dare be asked, answered or debated.
Is bigcotch seriously complaining about not being nominated? The dude has been on this board one month, how the hell was I supposed to know he was a football guru?
