Do you think he's more or less selfish than someone who uses other taxpayers' hard earned dollars to pay off his own loans?  

for sure. He definitely got far more from his boosters.

I believe it was one of Aesop's fables, a cautionary tale. Went something like this...

The river was flooded and the Turtle and the Scorpion both needed to cross. The Turtle offered the Scorpion a ride on his back, as the turtle was an excellent swimmer, but cautioned " Don't sting me or we"ll both drown". The Scorpion accepted.   

Halfway across, the Scorpion stung the Turtle in the neck. As they were both sinking and drowning, the Turtle asked "Why'?

As the Scorpion was slipping under the water, he said " Because it's my nature"....

Apropos of nothing whatsoever....

If adults are having a discussion, and you choose not to participate, it's still a discussion, champ. 

 

Oh I'm sorry.  I'll let you all get back to your adult fan fiction fantasies of the locker room turning on Hurts.

Oh. Personal attacks. I thought your group railed against that.  Nice to know you’re just like us. Welcome to the dark side.  Also, I don’t remember a discussion last night referencing me in that way.  I like it.  

Wait. There's a secret cabal of agents spending time creating strategies on a silly message board like it's the CIA and SVR?

Except smitty was complaining just a week ago.

has his passing improved? Maybe. Significantly? Sorry no.

winning does tend to cure most ills but we have weak opponents to start. If anything the coaches had schemes ready for the vikings

Was Smitty complaining?  Can you show me the quote?  The coaches talked about not getting him the ball but I didn’t see any quotes by Smith after the Lions game that he was unhappy.  Lions got very physical with Smith and he just didn’t seem to have the cuts week one.  Monday night he did.  Might be the groin was impacting him a bit still week one.  Could be that with last year’s tape, the Lions’ game plan was to focus on Smith.  Interesting  that both weeks Smith played the most snaps of the WRs.  I doubt Smith is as concerned as some posters.

I respect your opinion, but I think you are doing a lot of projecting in that opinion. Either that or channeling Dt1.

Projecting what exactly?

What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, EMB Blog sweathogs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show all the ladies what a real man is supposed to look like.

It seems like there are 2. There are the scorpions. And I dont know what the others call themselves. Maybe the sub-zeros.

Merrill Reese said on the radio broadcast that he was upset on the sideline and being consoled by AJ Brown.

He said all the right cliches after but was pouting in game so much that AJB was spotted consoling him

okk.... looking at my notepad here. Page 3 I wrote down bacarty's highschoolers guide to picking up chicks. From the looks of it, these are the ones you want to- confirm they want a good time, and take them to a happy hour somewhere.

Watch out fellas. I have the secrets. These ones are mine.
