I often get criticized for taking different stances on the same topic.

But -- there's a reason for that.

For one... I don't know if there's a right or wrong answer to many things that are discussed here.

Take Haslett for example. I hear some persuading arguements on both sides. I agree that Haslett probably should have been fired. And I agree that he's made some bad mistakes. But I also think he can still be a damn fine coach.

Confusing?

I'm sure it is............ I'm just not willing to side with either crowd on this one. So, I question both sides. And I learn some stuff too. But I'm leaning towards the anit-Haslett crowd!!

Same thing with Brooks. I don't know at this point. I can see a case for getting rid of Brooks. I can see a case for keeping him. Since there ain't too many folks here who stand up for Brooks, then it ain't much use in me repeating all the negative things about Brooks. Overall, I'm on the pro-Brooks side of this arguement. Surprise, huh?

But I actually like to hear the negative side about Brooks. I just don't like some unfair things that are said. Like folks using win/loss records as a way of judging Brooks. Totally off-base, IMO. I've already stated why a long time ago.

Some folks just take everything a little too far. And I do too at times. You get caught up in a discussion and its hard to leave it alone some times.

Anyway, I learned long ago that its wise to question both sides if you're not sure about something. It's served me well for many years.


I'm not on of those guys who thinks he knows for sure what the problems are. In fact, I'm one of those guys who know for sure that he doesn't know what all the problems are.

Someone might tell me McCarthy needs to go because of his play-calling and I'll disagree.

Someone might tell me McCarthy needs to stay because he is an excellent play-caller and I'll disagree.

Maybe I think McCarthy is an average play-caller who has been crippled by somethings outside of his control.

I'm always open to debate on EVERYTHING. As long as its logical to me. But don't we all feel that way?
