Football is obviously no smiling matter, son.  It's as serious as the Internet.

So the only way to "get it" is to agree with your view?  I get it-- I just still don't care.  The FO has a job to do, and part of the job is to make fans believe in the talent on the roster.  Heckert had a hand in selecting the guys, so he's essentially talking himself up a bit and making a nonsense attempt to drive down what another team might ask for in a trade.  He's doing a part of his job that might be distastful...and something of a joke...but we all have to shovel shtein now and again.  Still don't care.  Stop being so sensitive, Nancy.  Do you get it?

I happen to agree with this.

People care way too much about what is said in a press conference...or presented by the media via soundbyte or quote.

I'm ashamed to admit that this made me laugh a little.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

It might shock all of you, but I agree heartily also.

what you dont get is what we are really upset about

as i said they arent going to throw their own players under a bus...i dont care if they lie about how good their players are but as a paying customer dont talk down to me like im a farging moron...basically heckert is calling all the fans idiots because they think the wr's blow

you may think its crazy to catch feelings from some guy i dont even know calling me an idiot and when someone on a place like CF does it i could care less but for some reason when my sports teams do it i take that shtein personally...i cant really argue with you thats its ridiculous...i often wonder why i let it get to me so much myself...but i cant help it
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

Zanshin

You know, a lot of fans-- I'd go as far as to say maybe more than half-- actually have no clue what they're talking about.  Many of them are, actually, idiots.  That's a fact.  It doesn't mean you have to lump yourself in with that group.

ice grillin you

that may be true but coming out 24 hrs after you lose your #1 wr off what is already a weak group is probably not the best time to shtein on the fans....even the dumbest of us know the position blows

Well, for that I'll refer you to my initial blurb about the guy doing his job.

PoopyfaceMcGee

Maybe if we say we don't get it, IGY will argue that we do.

ice grillin you

ive explained it everyway i know how...its not about the front office defending its players its about shteinting on the fans...and heckert wasnt shteinting on the fans by saying the wr's are superbowl worthy he was shteinting on them by telling them they are stupid and need to listen better

i explain this 50 ways to you both and your answers are

"hes doing his job"

"i still dont get it"

wow

smartest thing said in this discussion is "eagle fans are stupid"
