Chris Gocong, Philadelphia Eagle

[Drunkmasterflex]

Pres. Bush so I could say "Great job Mr. President

this pick just got a whole lot worse

I wasn't thrilled with the pick until I knew they were going to make him a SAM LB

why does this make the pick more enticing...just because the sand artist sucks?...or because andy and heckert say he can play SAM....if andy can turn a 265 lb div 1-aa DE into an nfl SAM in one training camp then he really might be god...however ill believe it when i see....

Well because they are in desperate need of an upgrade at the SAM position.  I don't think he will be made into an LB in one TC, I am not going to kid myself into thinking otherwise.  That being said if he can offer help on special teams and help out in pass rushing situations this year they did very well for themselves considering he is a third round pick. 

Would have I liked to see them take Stovall sure, but to think any rookie WR is going to make a huge impact on offense is not realistic.  He would have been a situational player much like Gocong probably will be.

You're assuming he's not kidding.

I am.  It's a safer assumption than yours, which is that he's intelligent enough to be sardonic.  Moreover, given the context of the rest of the site, I stand by that assumption.  The fact that this guy still has a myspace account at all supports the argument that he's small time.  He's in the NFL, playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he's keeping a myspace account, updated with actual personal information.  He's out of touch plenty enough to support Bush.

Do you really care what his politics are if he is a good player? Because to me it doesn't matter, everybody in this country is entitled to their opinion.

i care because im naive and still believe theres more to your favorite team than the play on the field...i want them to be likeable as well as win...was it fun rooting for TO?

im hoping hes a mindless lemming....thats where ill give him the benefit of the doubt...that hes supporting the president because its the president

which is the better scenario vs him being some sort of fundementalist right winger

Because a guy suports President Bush he can't be likeable? Comparing that to the TO situation is a bit of a stretch wouldn't you say?

[The BIGSTUD]

I know someone who is the exact same way. He said he could never date a republican. Even if she isn't exteme. He also can't root for someone who is a republican.

All it says to me is there is a screw loose somewhere.

With someone who is a repubican or your friend?

[The BIGSTUD]

Friend.

First, he's free to like Bush.  I want him to play football.  It's his business who he supports, and I really don't care.

Second, Bush is an idiot, a horrible human being, and hands down the worst president this country has yet had.

Third, I'd like Philadelphia Eagle players to focus.  Myspace accounts with personal information, political references, and other stupid crap is small time.  It's your right as a citizen, but it's about as smart as hanging out at night clubs at three a.m.  Just don't do it.  Get your shtein together and act like a grown up.

FWIW he deleted his Myspace account.

Atta boy!  He's wising up.

I agree, It just sounded to me as if you were down on him for supporting the current President.

One thing is clear.  We're off topic.  Let's see what the kid does.

1.  That seems like a knee-jerk reaction to me.  Disagreeing with your political view somehow makes him "less likeable?"

2.  Remember- he's a kid.  He's what, 22?  My views are markedly different at 35 than they were at 22.

Is it possible that it was never really his account in the first place.  I ask this never having actually seen it, so it's an honest question.

Agreed.
