Eh, I was hissed but I'm over it. Heck, he's gotta make a living. LOL He's just colorful you know? I'd like to bar hop with him. :mrgreen:

Fine. I guess my verbosity was too much for you to handle. I remember you going off about being offended by someone's racy avatar. It offended your values instilled by Jesus or Zeus or whichever sky goblin you follow. And you were trying to stop people from saying/showing something they liked, I just said I found the notion offensive. Since I'm obviously not going to be able to get past your hypocrisy to reach your reason let me just reduce it to a "screw you" and move on.

Screw you.

And, moving on...

So, since other teams have allowed shabby players into their HoF we should too, instead of trying to make it an institution for our GREAT players. You work for the government, don't you?

No, we typically needed to outscore people due to MATHEMATICS! A GOOD defense can allow 3 points a game, and guess what, we still need to outscore the other team to win.

I wouldnt call Brooks mediocre. Think of the times we WISHED we had someone with his ability. Had he lived up to his potential, there's no telling how far we could have gone.

This is why Brooks should not be in. He didn't have ability, he had UNTAPPED potential.

Obviously you don't know the real SkyMike. Did he pee on your fence?

Billy Kilmer is in our HOF. In four seasons the threw 11, 17, 17, and...wait for it...17 interceptions. Do you even KNOW who is in our HOF? Not being #1 does not equal shabby - or did YOUR sky god tell you different? Maybe you need a definition of terms? Then again, I don't really think it's that hard...for most people anyway.

That's the dumbest and probably the most short-sighted antagonistic thing I've read in at least the last 10 posts. Care to guess how many games we won 6-3? Can I get a "DOUCHEBAG" from the congregation? Maybe you can go back and look at the points given up by our Defense while Brooks was here - and get back to me on how many times we allowed 3 points a game. Ignorance is bliss ain't it?

He had the 'ability' to do many things, and did those things quite well, and as the team around him diminished so too did his numbers and the fortunes of those teams. Manning, Kilmer, and Hebert. I wonder if Manning had the potential to do great things only his position on some horrible teams didn't allow for it? That's where you judge Brooks, unless you're just being an :censored:-sucker, which begs the question...If you are so offended by this thread that your drop by everyone's profile and ding them rep, why are you even posting in this thread?

Long Walk. Short Pier. Have a nice :censored:ing day, :censored:tard.

On the Saints, not being #1 DOES equal shabby, for the most part.

Also, Billy Kilmer being in shouldn't mean Brooks should get in, it means Kilmer should be kicked out.

Saint Michael is right, you do love answering questions that weren't asked and responding to statements that were not made.

I never said we ever won any games 6-3. "Our defense was so bad we typically had to outscore the other team to win" is a retarded statement. There is NOTHING shortsighted about saying you ALWAYS need to outscore the other team to win. But, if you don't know that, I will take you on your word that ignorance is bliss. You seem to be an expert on the subject of ignorance, so I won't argue that.

Archie was being held back by the incompetence of his teams. AB's teams were being held back by the incompetence of AB.

:bng:

Because the responses to the subject are interesting. I never said it was so offensive it made my skin crawl and just hearing AB and SHOF in the same sentence was akin to hearing nails on a blackboard. I just said it was offensive.

If you don't like it when people who disagree with you take away Rep points, talk to Halo about it. I didn't put the system in. Don't blame me for that. I didn't make anyone say anything I didn't agree with. If everyone is that worried about a Rep point they should just not post anything at all, and no rep will ever be removed from them.


PS, you get -1 rep for calling me a :censored:-sucker and a :censored:tard.

Not because I care about you calling me names, but because you didn't have the balls to actually call me the names without the censor marks. Some people talk the talk without walking the walk. You can't even talk the talk!

Well big fella it doesn't work that way. One day, when you own the team, you can kick people OUT of the HOF, only I hope you got more than your argument here so far.

You missed the expression I suppose, which is WIDELY used as a way of saying a given team can't stop anybody. Is this your fist year watching football? The problem here, which is also an issue with SM, is you twist or ignore the obvious as a way to further your own point, which is what, exactly? I mean, we either DID or we DIDN'T have to put up points in buckets because we were generally unable to stop people. You agree with that or you disagree with that? Answer minus the spin, if you can, otherwise have a seat over there somewhere out of everyone's way.

I must have missed all those games where Aaron was playing defense. It's pretty clear to just about anyone who's willing to take an honest look that our defense was the problem - the main reason for those 3, 7, and 8 win seasons. Brooks numbers don't really tell the story you'd like them to tell. You're probably aware of that, and I can recognize that after you show your :censored: in a thread like you have done in this one it's extremely difficult to admit. Don't worry. We know. It's ok.

I could give a crap about rep points. I just thought it was kinda funny that you'd go to so much trouble in a thread that was "SO" offensive to you and yet here you are still...amusing yourself is it? I bet you do a lot of that in your spare time.

I censor because kids (like you - only with better parents I'm starting to think) come here too. Would you like me to PM you with the uncensored names? Would you feel better then? You could take more rep and get a really nice buzz off that too huh? Eh, you can't take more rep can you? You've already done that. You may actually have to devise a real argument now huh? I guess you're pretty much screwed. LMAO

Oh, you're still a :censored:-sucker and a :censored:tard...and you're also an :censored:-hole too. How much minus rep is all that worth?

:doh:
