2008 Point & Laugh at the skins thread

[Eagaholic]

it's a shame DE's aren't allowed to wear # 21, that would be awesome

[PhillyPhreak54]

Taylor will not make them better, but he's still got juice left.

And am I seeing people say that Andre Carter is good? I doubt your sincerity? Since when?

[The BIGSTUD]

Had a pretty good year last season.

wanna go on record on who will have more sacks this year taylor or killa...ill take taylor

I'll take Cole for the record.

well, I'm already down against you on the Klecko bet, so I might as well throw in for more pain

ten bucks suit you?

Cole has more sacks than Taylor

regular season or both regular and post?

A phins fan posted this on ES:

I just heard the news. Congrats on your new acquisition!

Just so you know what youre getting.

You're getting a defensive monster. Or should I say, a previous monster. I don't know what has gotten into your taterskins to think that you should switch his position. He will not succeed at LE. He has lost a lot of his mass over the past 2 years, and cannot take on those double teams vs the run anymore. He will still get you some sacks, however. He has no loyalty to ANY team, and he will quit on you if he once it appears likely that you wont be winning a title. He will fake injuries just to get some rest, then be right back on the field when he feels like it. As Dolphins fans, we all kinda wanted JT to return to camp and play in Miami, or just retire, to preserve his legacy. But we got a great price for him, and are glad to be rid of him. The drama he has caused was all on his part. As soon as Zach, his brother in law, got cut from the Phins, he got jealous and wanted to be traded to a contender. I don't mean any disrespect, but the taterskins are not a contender the same way Dallas is. I will always pull for the Skins over any other team in the NFC east, but they got some screws loose in the team philosophy department. But I digress, JT will disappoint most of you. Especially if you take him out of his free-range DE/OLB role. He is best when the defense doesnt know where he is. But lining him up at LE, combined with his willingness to give up, and you have got disaster written all over this scenario. This all goes without saying that he has been out partying and living it up, instead of getting in football form.

The aftermath

ES is back in bidness...I was there 5 minutes before I had to leave. Especially after reading yet another Bubba post about tje Washington media and crying because they ripped poor Phil Daniels.

Anyone who in any way bets against the Eagles is a douchebag.

Anyone who in any way bets against the Eagles is a douchebag.

Are you just "meeting" IGY for the first time?  He only ever puts his money down against Philly sports teams.  I'm the same way, just not as eager to do it.

The fact is that he cannot *lose* this bet.  Either one of his favorite players for his favorite team does well enough to cost him a meager $10, or he gets to say "I told you so" and nabs some beer money.

[Diomedes]

In other news, anyone who in any way bets with the Eagles loses.

[ice grillin you]

its not the case in this particular bet because i think this is a toss up

but you cant really say "i told you so" when youre making a bet you think you will lose

regardless at least someone gets it

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

In other news, anyone who in any way bets with the Eagles loses.

...which is why you're doing it?

but you cant really say "i told you so" when youre making a bet you think you will lose

Sure you can.  If you put the money down, you are representing that position, regardless of what you really think.

regardless at least someone gets it

I think most everyone gets it, but amazingly some find it to be one of the more annoying habits of your online persona.

[Diomedes]

i like to lose, it's part of why I love the Philadelphia Eagles

[ice grillin you]

no you cant say i told you something was gonna happen when you never believed it would...that is retarded...you can be happy you as dio said won the beer money but you cant use it to big up your knowledge of the situation

its not an online persona...there is nothing i do online that i dont do off...either way anyone that would get annoyed by a bet i make needs to check themselves...but if it makes you feel better think of me as the pussssie...someone that isnt willing to go for it all...because dio in this bet can win both the money and with his team...i can only win one way or the other...mine is the safer bet but his is the more daring
