What a loss could accomplish.

Ben's a bonehead, but did you really just compare a potential hall-of-famer to Daunte Culpepper? You make my point of your idiocy quite well on your own.

You are having trouble following along. Let me assist you. I didn't compare DC to Ben. I merely used a real-life example where what one says does not necessarily indicate that said individual will be willing to work hard enough towards stated objective. I never said the two players were comparable. Can you grasp this concept? Ben claims he wants to win 5 rings, and then goes out and plays unfocused and careless, hence, his actions do not reflect his stated goals. Culpepper also made a claim that he wanted to be the best QB ever, but also chose actions that conflicted with stated goal, hence, the example fits.

I will give another example to help you grasp this. Let's say you stated the goal of wanting to be in better shape than any of your family and friends. But, even though you stated this, you spent your time over-eating and not working out. See, just because you "stated" you wanted to be in the best shape of everyone you know, your actions did not reflect this stated goal. Same thing. Ben can say he wants to win 5 rings all he wants. But his actions do not necessarily reflect this. He doesn't seem willing to work as hard as needed to make this goal attainable. There is no way he is ever going to see 5 rings. He already blew one chance. And by carelessly throwing pics to lose games, he really isn't going to ever come close to 5 rings, whether he claims to want the rings or not.

Ha ha. That is all.

let me help you out with this one:

Actually, the reason Herm isn't coaching in the NFL anymore is because he is a little too simplistic, as that quote confirms. Yea, you play to win the game, but sometimes losing leads to better long term futures. What if the Colts won a few more games last year? They wouldn't have Luck or RG3 and then how bright would their future look? Had they won a few more games, they would have ended up with a Matt Kalil or Justin Blackmon. How would their future look if that was the case? Horrid.

Ha ha. That is all.

This is the 3rd post with a personal insult. This breaks board rules.

I would like to assert that this thread is funny as hell.

Funny, but also full of ad hominem attacks, which, according to stated board rules, are not acceptable. I wonder if this means Big Rob is going to get booted? 3-4 personal attacks in this thread alone. I know the mods will not allow for the noncompliance of stated board rules. Even when I do something as slight as abbreviated curse words (where I don't spell out the entire word) I get warned for things as minor as that. So, I am sure the ad hominem attacks will be addressed. I know this board fully intends to practice fair and balanced management in enforcing board rules. It's the only way to proceed. Like Billie Jean said, "Fair is fair!"

In posts after the initial post, and I destroyed his assertions later as well. Be well. Have a nice day.

Destroyed? Really?? Read it again, you did no such thing...

[BigRob]

ad hominem

Isn't this what grits are made of?

Hey, I guess I can win this debate by adding more smiley faces than you have. Is that how it works?

No, but it would have helped if you made good points...

No, it's what people do when they can't win a debate based on content, logic or reason. In plain speak, it's when people resort to name calling and personal insults. Basically, if you are on a debate team, and you go there, you are FAIL.

[Mister Pittsburgh]

You don't think missing the playoffs is enough of a wake-up call? Did you not see Polamalu's comments? This point sucks too.

I would of thought that getting their teeth kicked by Tim Tebow would of done the trick.....and. It's pretty odd hearing a 31 year old pro bowl SS mention all the other player other than himself when mentioning leaders and talking about offseason workout routines while he spent every season balancing on boards and swimming in the offseason only to end up banged up every year.

Debate team? You are in High School aren't you?

Your points are so ridiculous and sensationalized, why even attempt to respond with rational clear points? That's not what you are really looking to do. You want attention and controversy.

True that. It was OK when Troy was highly productive, with his "unique" work outs, etc. But no that he is hurt all the time and barely produces, it is no longer "cool" for him and his "new wave" work outs. I also hope he does less commercials in the future; they aren't even funny and are kind of embarrassing.
