The Eagles Offseason Thread(all aboard the Brian Finneran bandwagon)

[Father Demon]

Some of you reading into this are ridiculous.

Rome, you're going to give yourself a farging heart attack. Quit it.

FF is dead on.

Maybe I'm giddy from the upcoming Patrick Swayze ghoulpool points, but this made me chuckle.

[ice grillin you]

no one is reading to much into anything...ff is just stating the obvious...i dont why he even brought that up...we all know they bid for moss

the point is that the guy fargs with the fans and says unessecary shtein to piss people off...its uncalled for...then the next radio spot will be banner complaining that philly doesnt love andy and lurie enough and they dont understand why

[SD_Eagle5]

You guys are really stupid, and Reid would have been even more stupid that you had he actually said anything like, "We really need to get another offensive weapon," or "We're definitely going after a top-flight WR via trade."

He absolutely has to come out publicly and say that he's fine as is.  Else, he loses all bargaining power he might have had with teams like Arizona and Detroit.

Relax.  Where there's smoke, there's fire.  Reid wouldn't have sweet-talking Randy farging Moss for hours if he wasn't serious about getting Donovan a major target and making a big run.  Still, as much as he'd be an idiot for not doing that is akin to him announcing to Howard Eskin that he needs to get a WR.

I'm with this line of thinking. But considering what he's trotted out there at WR the past decade I can understand why fans would be pessimists

He's said the same farging thing EVERY SINGLE YEAR....even in 2004 he said it...a few days before we found out they were going after TO.

[Rome]

For the record, I like Brown and I like Curtis.  I'd like them a hell of a lot more if they had a Williams or Fitzgerald or Moss to play alongside.  And if the Eagles would simply get a guy like one of those three, I'd be less annoyed at listening to Reid's horseshtein platitudes too.

then dont shill for 45 minutes with your eagle whore radio host from wip...stay home...dont say shtein you know will piss off fans...its not needed and when they do it makes you think its done on purpose to antagonize the fans that call up and ask for a wr 1000 times a day for the last 10 years

[Rome]

Favre's about ready to start bawling his eyes out in his retirement newsy.

[Father Demon]

You seriously think all this talk and posing is for the fans?  You've said it twice....

This is from the guy who was giving Banner credit for the same kind of posturing just to find a way to disagree with reese on something.

Only stupid people should be pissed off by this, but I agree that is basically Howard's listener base, so Andy had to know he'd ruffle some feathers.  Considering the way fans have been calling for his head for some time now, it's the least he can do.

posturing in trying to raise the value of player you may trade is completely different than for no reason going on a local radio show to tell fans you dont need a wr 48 hrs after you tried to pay 30 million dollars for the best one in the league

then again im trying to explain this to someone who felt he had to tell people that what they say publically and privately might be different...thanks chief


if the FO antagonizing and playing around with the emotions of the fans doesnt bother you then just say that...it doesnt effect everyone...but trying to explain to people what reid says on wip and what he says in the novacare offices to tom heckert are different is laughable

I think you have your honkballs confused.  Link to where this was my conversation?

[Rome]

Let's get back on topic and start talking about beating off again.

[ice grillin you]

I think you were talking to FF?

indeed

How is posturing to raise the value of your player different from posturing to lower the value of a player you want to get?

Of course it doesn't bother me.  It would only bother a simple-minded WIP-listening standard Philly fan idiot.  Anyone with half a brain couldn't give two shteins what the FO says on the radio.

banner was saying that there were a bunch of teams making good offers for lito so that maybe another team would jump in and pay more or think they were gonna lose their chance to get him and make a move...there was no way to prove that this wasnt true...thus its posturing


reid was blatantly lying and everyone in the world knew it because he had just went after moss and was rumored to have inquired about fitzgerald and williams...reid wasnt posturing he was talking out of his ass to piss the fans off...

do you think we knew reid went for moss and nfl execs didnt?

youre so out of touch with philly fans its incredible....it probably wont sink in but to someone living in north carolina and was seven when buddy ryan was around....but there was a reason buddy is universally loved and reid/banner are hated by so many

philly fans of all their teams but especially the eagles dont just care about wins and losses they wanna care about the people who operate and coach and play for their teams....so what the sports figures of the city say and do means a whole lot to many people...is it unhealthy?...probably...but look at scott rolen.....jd drew...eric lindros ect...

for you to dismiss the cities fans and say the only people that care about what reid did are wip idiots shows your utter lack of connection with the fans...

maybe you dont give a shtein...maybe you only do care about wins and losses and stats...and thats cool but dont be an ass and belittle other people who do care about more than that
