I agree with as many opinions as with those that I disagree. I almost always acknowledge that with a "like". Sometimes I voice my support. Those that I disagree with I simply make it plainly known. One area where I have been extremely consistent is maintaining that none of us, me absolutely included, can know what is best for our team without having intimate access to ALL the information possible ... which NONE of us have. If you or anyone else has an issue with that I couldn't really care less. Informing someone that they cannot know something that they indeed could not have any way of knowing is simply being honest.

This will be my last reply on this as you value no insight other than your own it seems.

If someone says Brees playing is crazy and you say it isn’t then that is a counter opinion. If you tell them the decision isn’t theirs well that’s a passive aggressive way of telling them their opinion doesn’t matter or that they are stupid... it’s ad hominem.

A discussion is an exchange of ideas. I recognize what you are doing because at one point in time I had three close family members that were terminally ill and it impacted the way I carried myself on these forums. It took Papz lighting me up to make me realize that I was just being caustic. All three family members passed within six weeks and I had to come to terms with that and what I had become, that’s why I spent over a year away.

We are never too old to look in the mirror and make half time adjustments.
