Re: I held firm - an open letter
 

On a semi-related note, I think I'm starting to learn a survival skill in today's world - more and more I'm thinking it's best to just watch the games I want to watch and pay little mind to all the drama and sports talk and conjecture. I am beginning to understand my fault in this.

Early in the season, I spent way too much mental energy on Sean Payton's coaching struggles and a few other issues surrounding the team. Likewise, as a Lakers fan I've paid too much attention to the LaVar Ball drama. By now I know I don't like the guy and that he's going to continue acting like a dip**** ... there's no point in reading about or wondering what the Lakers could/should do about it. The Lakers are big boys, they'll have to figure it out.

My focus going forward to keep my opinions brief and try to enjoy life more. And certainly I don't judge or begrudge any of you still actively supporting the Saints - everyone has their own hot buttons and opinions and ways of seeing things. Take care guys, don't let this thread get too negative.

Dilly... dilly...

I don't care if y'all watch or not. I will always watch because I love NFL football. Just don't let the door hit you in the ass.

And I've kept my very limited posts/opinions about the Saints brief. Just a few observations and commentary. But apparently to some, that is bashing and I don't have a right to say anything. I didn't boycott the board.

But otherwise, I'm with you. Being away from watching the NFL has opened of a free space in my mind that was too occupied with things that don't matter. Yesterday would have been very painful in the old days for me. But now, it just is what it is. I'll miss some of the memories I've made watching the Saints, if I never watch them again, but things have gotten too ridiculous.

Didn't call you a name, chief. I made an observation based on your petty accusations against me. You have yet to back up one thing you've said about me coming in here to bash the Saints or bash fans. I don't do anything but speak for myself.

And no, I didn't watch a single second of the game. I didn't know anything till well after it was over. Ever heard of box scores and sports media? I've said this two times now. But I know throwing stones at me is more fun than paying attention to what I've said.

Me too... In fact... if the wife demands sex during the Saints game, I make her wait until halftime for a quicky. :broccoli:

Re: I held firm - an open letter
 

One question....if it truly doesn't matter as you said in your previous post then why bother to explain your stance and feeling on a Saints thread. There are other sections on the board that you can freely express your feelings....especially now that the season is over. Seems like you can't wait to check the box scores even though things are getting too ridiculous. You might not spend that time watching the game but you've spent more than the time it takes to watch a game trying to justify your stance.

Re: I held firm - an open letter
 

In what way have I "spent more than the time it takes to watch a game trying to justify" my stance? Did you read the OP? I responded to him.

I'm not justifying my stance, I am defending myself against some guy who randomly showed up to tell me that I came here to bash the Saints and shove my "stance" down their throats. Read my first post in this thread and tell me if you think it looks like I was justifying myself to others, or pointing a finger at anyone. I mean that. I would like for you to read what I said and tell me if it warranted a personal attack on me by this poster.

I didn't intend to say anything beyond my original comment. But I'm sure not going to sit here and let someone lie about me because he apparently doesn't agree with me. Doesn't that make him what he, and you, are accusing me of?

Yes the NFL HAS become too ridiculous. That's why I'm not a fan. I'm also not a fan of the NBA, but I pay attention to what's going on because my entertainment is following sports. I don't have to watch it, or emotionally invest in it, to still know what's going on.

Boom! See - people don’t need to hear it from someone who’s NOT IN IT.
