And that's what it is all about. You churn 3 straight 7-9 seasons, 4 of the last 5 seasons, you're on your third d coord and set a record for dead money. You don't brush that away as if it doesn't exist, didn't exist, etc. If we were making good moves those things would not have happened.

If as a fan you choose to pump sunshine and rainbows I don't have a problem with it. I think when it becomes an issue is when you go around attacking the other members of the board for talking about facts and why they're hesitant to get sucked in again and not really look at who this team is, etc. Pump sunshine all day if it tickles your fancy, but leave those with a critical view of the team to share their thoughts without being bothered.

One thing I can say for sure is I specifically remember the dude and dizzle still on the board last year during the losing. We stuck with the team through the entire year, ups and downs!

Bullcrap. Those two weeks I didn't post was because you posted nothing but negative venom. Non-stop. You didn't stick with the team. You lambasted them constantly. You went on and on about how they sucked. You pointed out everything that you felt was wrong with them.

Yeah, You supported them.

Sad.

Now your just putting words in peoples mouths .

Since you are so hung up on fact checking please show me how you arrived at that conclusion. Show us the quote of him saying that. Really I want to see your translation of what you think he said. What would lead you to believe that he because he values the past he must think we are going to have the same record.

The Triumvirate of negativity converge! This is too perfect!

You feed off of each other. The chum of negativity is in the water.

IMO you ALL have a screw loose. Ya'll can't just let this go can you? Move on FFS!

Dude had nothing to do with this. I wasn't even posting to the other poster and strictly speaking to and replying to Diz and Dude and the other person still replied to me. Thanks for sharing though.

What is your expectation for the season, even though it is a little early?

My bad then. It felt like the feud was calming down and then Dude went and quoted all the posts and it felt like he was stirring the pot. If not the case, then my apologies. I swear..you and Guido go after each other in almost every thread like ex lovers or something.

As far as the season..I dunno. I'm feeling good about the coaching changes and really think it is being over looked by everyone on the outside. All good, we do better as under dogs anyway. I think we are going to see some vast improvement from the D side barring that the injury bug leaves us alone. Unless we have a major implosion, I'm feeling a winning season. Enough to get to the playoffs? I dunno. I'm just ready to get it started so we can quit all the fighting over semantics. The past is the past. We sucked and were not good enough. But changes have been made so lets keep a hopeful outlook and support our boys in the black and gold.

That was me that stirred the pot, Mike. I have always been known as quite a good chef.

But I agree completely, the past is the past. It is time to move on and look forward to a much more promising future.

Yeah definitely putting some good pieces in place to build a good team, think we are close. Be nice to get off to a start and open with a win.
