Well that particular post from opt was like reading Steve-o. It was one long appeal to authority with a straw man thrown in for good measure.

I know he's a cop, but thanks. I posted the article to drum up conversation, but I was expecting hysterical protestations that typically accompany suggestions that we not adhere to the status quo.

No offense can succeed long term, as defenses will always find ways to adapt. The key is to be contrarian. To invoke Costanza, you must "do the opposite" of what everyone else is doing. Defenses will be geared to stopping the trend, and you can attack the resultant weaknesses it creates.

Nope. 0311 but selected for presidential support duty at boot, and screened at S.O.I. I was supposed to go to Camp David but I had ****ed up my ankle just prior, got held back, and then was sent to White House Communications. We provided security for the national security council on trip...

I remember when I was just about the only guy defending Faulk. I've liked the guy ever since he was drafted. He had the bad luck to run behind an atrocious OL in his early years; a washed up Bruce Armstrong, Heath Irwin, Woody, Todd Rucci, and Zefross Moss. Backups of Max Lane, Jason...

Sounds like an effective way to quell the hate and discontent of the political forum. ;)

No worries. And while it may have seemed like I was trying to flame 'ol steve-o, I was in all honestly trying to get him to understand just how often he resorted to those two fallacies. Either that, or he knew he was doing it, and was just getting mad that he was being called out on it.

Without going back through all the pages I missed, I'll end by saying: The very designation of a separate football forum creates an implication. Visitors aren't going to see the board index and think: "Hey, it's the football board and the.....football and everything else board." They're...

Well, I thought about killing Publius, but thought the posts should remain as a part of the Planet record. Not sure if they'd disappear if he disappeared. And as an old timer, this "friend" stuff is new to me, lol.

Disagree. You guys keep telling those who think things have changed that they're wrong; nothing has changed. YOU may think nothing has changed, because anything goes in the Circus as before. But the very act of creating a separate and distinct "football only" forum implies a purpose not just...

Some view it differently. YOU guys aren't trying to understand their view that this may fundamentally change the dynamic here at the Planet. You keep insisting that nothing has changed. To paraphrase the great Bard, "the mods doth protest too much, methinks."

He'd better be athletic, considering he came to BC at about 240 pounds. Costanzo is about maxed out when it come to bulk. What may be more interesting, as it relates to the Rolle situation this year, is that Costanzo came to BC claiming that he wanted to go pre-med, iirc. The kid is extremely...

I didn't find it that hard. If a topic didn't appeal to me at first glance, I just never clicked on it. If once I got inside it was something other than what interested me, I left. I never had to resort to putting posters on "ignore," sending negative reps or PMs, and I wouldn't think of...

I've never been much for appealing to authority, even though I respect the old timers such as Hawg. Point is that that post describes not just the origins, but the purpose of this site. IIRC, it was Hawg who first turned me to the Planet from KFFL. I used to be a serious footballer and...

When did Dan Snyder buy the Pats?

If Mark Herzlich (Boston College) can come back strong from Ewing's sarcoma, he stands a very good chance of being Top 15. What may hurt him is that the surgery to remove the tumor required the insertion of a metal rod in his leg (Ewing's is a bone cancer). He has good size and athleticism...

Henderson was, if not a bust, a big disappointment given the hype he came out with from UT. Back when I used to follow the draft closely, Henderson was always picked to be "the next Reggie White," given his great size and athleticism for the strong side DE position. He's been a solid DT in...

The problem is that too many people here are viewing Sicko's decision from the perspective that a potential football career is THE primary goal. You argue that it's better to be an UDFA than a late round pick, as he would be better able to choose his circumstances and location. He's viewing it...

Posting as myself for once, from the UNH community, this doesn't seem to be the case. It is more likely that he's coming from the perspective that his odds of making it are long as it is, and even less so if no team felt he was worth one of their precious few draft picks. So, he must decide...
