Although I've said something to this effect before, I want to give WhoDat his just due.

WhoDat and myself often get in some spirited debates on a variety of topics. Neither one of us usually concede too much in our beliefs and a lot of the things we argue about can't be proven until enough time has passed to have sufficient evidence.

Well, one of the things WhoDat told me last year is that Haslett was a major problem and because of that he didn't have a lot of faith in the 2003 season. I agrued and argued with WhoDat that he was wrong. And this went on for a while.

Now, I must be a man and admit the one that was wrong was ME.

I'm now seeing things exactly like WhoDat saw them last year as far as Haslett is concerned.

I suppose the reason I didn't see it last year was because of how great the team had started out the past couple of years and I wanted to believe the late season collapses were not the fault of Haslett. I now think otherwise.

This is not to say that I think everything has been Hasletts fault and I don't think WhoDat is suggesting that either. But, it now seems so clear to me that Haslett has made a lot of mistakes. Mistakes that just can't be dismissed.

Anyway, WhoDat, I'll concede this one to you. I don't mind admitting I was wrong. I just hope Haslett can turn things around because at this point he worries me more than anything else.

Anybody else waiting on Bizarro Superman to come tumbling out of the sky???

GumboBC

It\'s bird. It\'s a plane. It\'s bizarro superman.

Nah. This is the \"new\" me. Halo\'s \"ban\" camp has made a new man out of me.

For those of you that have never experienced \"ban\" camp. Let me fill you in on a few things.

When you try and access the forum it says \" You have been banned - you may not read any posts on the forum and you cannot make any posts.\"

In \"ban\" camp you have a lot of time to reflect on your posting habits. Suddenly you realize that the moderators aren\'t going to change and your need to get you act together if you want to post here.

And you cry and beg to Halo to come back and he\'s got that \"Parcells\" attitude. You know the one. The one where the individual isn\'t as important as the team. (the board)

But, Halo gives you one more chance when you\'ve been the Keyou Craver of the board. Sometimes you\'ve got to put down the wacky weed and fly straight.

Then you come back and Paks a moderator. What\'s the world coming to? Somehow, I get the feeling Pak doesn\'t mind bannng folks... :P

And 08. He\'d just as soon ban you as look at you.

So, if any of you are thinking of pushing the envelope, beware. There is a \"ban\" camp. It\'s real. But, if you do go. I think I left my some magazines and popcorn there. You can have \'em.

Got one question about \"ban camp\"- did you get any musical instruments stuck in any of your orifices?

GumboBC

You\'re a ******* nut. LMAO. I have no idea where that come from. But, to satisfy your curiousity. NO!! There ain\'t nothing there but a bed and 4 walls.

You know, B&B. I salute you also. You\'ve been able to say what you want in such a way that it\'s been pure genius. And never get in trouble, no less.

And all the while you are always gramatically correct. All the commas, periods, and whatnot are always perfectly done.

You are, indeed, the man!!

Budweiser salutes you Mr. Gramatically Correct Man........ :P

saintz08

Ban them all and let Halo sort them out .....LMAO...... :P

You forgot to mention Saintfan .......He moved up too the big board ...

WhoDat

Amazing. I guess you can teach a crazy-a$$ dog new tricks! LMAO.

JKool - get out the granola for this one!!!

Billy - I\'ll give props right back. I\'ve said time and again that this place just isn\'t the same without out. Right or wrong you\'re spirited and educated and the place can use as many guys like that as possible. Granted, the goggles keep you from seeing things straight every once in a while, but we\'re working on that.

Tell you what, if Brooks has the kind of year that I think he should have this season, you\'ll be getting one of these from me. I\'m dreading it... but also ready for it. Regardless, I do want the guy to succeed b/c it\'s good for the team. I really hope that he\'s a Pro Bowler this season, and have already said this offseason that I think there\'s a real chance that he will be. Of course, if he isn\'t, he\'s a bum!

Finally, regarding Haslett, like Brooks, I really want the guy to prove me wrong. I do, I just can\'t see it. With Brooks at least I see the possibility. With Haslett, if this team is successful I believe it will have a hell of a lot more to do with ridiculous amounts of talent and little to do with coaching. In any case, thanks for the post man.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming: Billy, you\'re full of ish!! LOL

I met this chick one time at band camp.... oh wait... you said \"ban\" camp. Nevermind.

This place certainly is more interesting with you here, Billy. Glad you\'ve had a Benny Hinn moment.

Beautiful. That\'s why we love him. :heartpump: :heartpump:

BlackandBlue

I hate all of you :P

Yeah, much better than his Benny Hill moments

Billy forgot me. Heaven only knows how many times I\'ve defended him in the interest of...well...it doesn\'t matter. I can\'t believe I\'ve been forgotten. OK, I can, but that still stings Billy. Me thinks I need a beer...and some granola. Where\'s JKool? :P
