You can hate on him some more. He won't lose any sleep...and neither will I.

You can celebrate mediocrity if you want, but get your numbers straight before you start calling people 'moron' |

No need for insults, it really doesn't further your argument. As far as being a I didn't hate the guy, I just hated having him for a QB. |

The game manager who benefitted from a stellar run game and outstanding defense. All Brooks ever had was Joe Horn and Deuce McAllister. The likes of Boo Williams and Jerome Pathon is what he was dealing with.

I shared my opinion. Been doing it here for a decade. I will keep on doing so. When I insult you or anyone else personally you'll know it. That you people wear your feelings on your sleeve is not my problem. You're right about one thing tho. Stats don't tell the whole story, but with Brooks there's no way to convince the haters, stats or not. Morons can't see past their tunnel vision. They don't want to. Now thanks pops, for the moral lesson on what's called for and what isnt. I'll take care of my own thought process big fella, if you don't mind...or even if you do.

Re: AB in Saints HoF
BH is in it. Some times we do celebrate mediocrity.
Let's not get high on our success, there are many years I would have given away a kidney for mediocrity. |
