Cowher power for crash

Re: Cowher power for crash

There was no vote junkie boy. Cowher didn't want Ben. Rooney pulled rank and got him there. Cowher, Rooney's underling, then did what he was told to do.

Colbert's not going to throw Cowher under the bus when it's been rumored for years that if Cowher goes to another team that he intends to try and get Colbert to go with him.

Re: Cowher power for crash

When they made the pick, Ben was BCs preferred choice.

No, Ben was ROONEY'S preferred choice. All Cowher did was listen to what Rooney told him to do like any employee should.

Is BC by your definition the ONLY good employee?
Why did Colbert and the rest need to be persuaded by BC at all?

If BC is not convinced Rooney is right, he doesnt to say jack squat to convince the others. There is no need, the decision is made already. If BC doesnt believe it, if the others have no choice, why does BC have to convince the rest?

Again, namecalling?

As Rooney stated, momentum had swung away from Ben when he suggested they take another look at Ben. They did, with Bill championing Ben as the selection.

Facts! Those are it. What you and your Cowher hatred are suggesting, are made up conjecture. You're incapeable of rational thought and discussion.

If it is a lie why bring it up at all? Saying NOTHING does not throw BC under the Bus.

If anything Colbert just throws HIMSELF under the bus, ensuring that his stock goes down with everybody BUT BC.

That would be stupid. Well at least to most people.

Clearly only a "genius" like you think it would be logical for Colbert to throw himself under the bus, disrespecting his CURRENT BOSS if it is false, for a "possible" job with BC that is likely his anyway if he wants it.

Interesting facts Charlie Brown.

Crash, look closely at Rooney's words.

Clearly, Ben was ALREADY being discussed, perhaps had been a frontrunner at one point prior to Rooney making a case for Ben, in order for "momentum" to have "swung away" from Ben in the first place. Prior to that Ben HAD momentum already.

Far from your idea that everybody was anti-Ben some had opinions that went back and forth as the discussions were happening. It was close all along.

Clearly, Colbert felt strongly for Andrews all along, since BC needed to sway him.

Who does that leave, whose opinion was moved from Ben away from Ben and back to Ben? You know the answer.

Did Ben already have "momentum" at one point in the discussion that had "swung away" from him? Did Rooney merely steer momentum BACK to where it had been previously, implying that others had strong feelings "for" Ben? That is what he says.

Or did he force the pick on an a staff that hated the pick from the start?

Are you calling Rooney a liar too?

Re: Cowher power for crash

My Goddness, this thread has reached the status of recreating dreams because the truth was lost a while ago.

Cowher "championing" the Ben pick. That's just rich.

You really have to love message boards. Dreams created. History rewrote. Innane thoughts read and believed by those a little less fortunite in the noodle department than a special olympics medal winner.

But hey, it's all good here on Fantasy Internet.

That is what Colbert said. He was in the room. You and I were not.

You are right about one thing though. The TRUTH is in the very first post. It proves that BC WANTED to draft Ben because in order for it to happen he had to convince others that we should do it.

Rooney made a case for Ben, BC backed his case and persuaded the rest. Were it not for Rooney Ben is not a Steeler true. But if BC did not agree, he would still not be a Steeler, since BC convinced the rest. Clearly Rooney delegated the final decision.

That is what Colbert said. He was in the room. You and I were not.

Rooney said he steered the conversation as momentum had swung away from Ben. That does not mean it wouldn't have swung back to Ben with further discussion. Clearly though, Bill was pushing for Ben. Bill did have final say so at some point, he could have used it and vetoed the scouts, management and Colbert.

Read it somewhere when he signed his last extension. He had final say in draft picks and they also said that it didn't mean a lot as they typically all ended up agreeing on picks anyway.

Because he was asked during SB week.

Then everything else to stroke Cowher's ego is irrelevant and Dan Rooney gets the credit.

Sorry, I'm not giving Cowher credit because Dan Rooney pulled rank and removed Cowher's head from Shawn Andrews as$.

11 pages later and you are still battling the truth.

Amazing.

Re: Cowher power for crash

Cowher had final say on personell written into his contract. If he didn't want Ben, Ben wouldn't be here.

Absolutely 100% not true.
