Quote:read the quote below, he felt the same way I did. Its not about "bashing" anything. Its about being embarrassed as a fan, after seeing that and wanting the network to show the team in a better light than that.Oh please. You're hiding behind the skirt of another poster now, Nancy? Really??
You've taken shots about this more than once, including an admission that you were embarrassed in front of your "buddies" by this image. The only problem is it wasn't representative of the reality in any way, shape, or form. It's just another thing you keep in your pocket to take shots at the team. Deny it all you wish. We know your schtick all too well.

Use your brain to do something besides inventing gloom and doom. So lame and tired this bit of yours.That would require the diva to abandon an agenda. That's not gonna happen.
That whole thing has been disproved 4 separate times on the board and you are still trying to trot it out there. Pitiful.

Deflection? Looked like fact to me. You're neither of those men. Unfortunately, you're so separated from reality you don't realize this.

Computers! We don't need no stinkin' computers! All we need is two guys and a note pad.
I thought it was great.

Yes, deflection.
He said that "micromanagement is a fault not a virtue".
I provided 2 of the best head coaches in the league that are notorious micromanagers.
He then responds with the flippant, "more people you aren't".... because he couldn't argue that point I made.
Deflection.

Unless they fear somebody else is going to trade up at 2 to take him, I don't think they trade with STL. I've seen Sammy mentioned to go to STL numerous times but I don't see that as a fit at all. They've taken several high round WRs the past few seasons and I don't see them doing that with the 2nd pick of the draft. Either way I do hope it's us. 10 would be a nice spot to trade back to.

I would love, love, love that trade if they make it with us.

With our openness to trade down, I'm sure we'd be the more possible moving spot. At #2, although i'm sure STL wouldn't mind trading down, i'm quite sure they want an elite OT and they are in the perfect spot to get Robinson. At 10? The top 2 tackles will be off the board for sure, and possibly more. For us, I'm sure we like a couple guys and would be fine staying, but I think we like some guys that we could easily get at 10 too.
I wish I knew whether we'd trade back or not, sitting here hoping for Watkins/Mack, watching a lot of tape on both of them, and they might not even be realistic options. :mellow:

What would it take from the Lions for you to trade back to 10? I think next years first needs to be in consideration.

Micromanagement is certainly a sin in the management world.
If you aren't properly delegating, you're likely neglecting greater needs. Dereliction of duty. Wasting time and energy on what others should be handling.
But then, I don't expect someone of your lack of achievement to understand concepts of management. You're simply cheerleading for your idols like schoolgirl and have no idea what I'm talking about.

Agree, at least two from this year plus first next year. That would be a start, and maybe not enough.
We should look for a Julio Jones type deal. After all, he's a guy we can use, too. You just don't give away what you need, especially if he's the best prospect at the position.
