A Decade of Andy Reid

[ice grillin you]

We've had a little bit of success here.

while this statement is true and they as dh said have not accomplished enough its the smart assed arrogant and smug way he says it that jumps out at you

its comments like this that makes you always wonder how they cant understand why people dont like them....yet they keep doing it

why cant he say "i am who i am and while its not enough until we win a title it has served me fairly well in this league for a long time"

is that to difficult?

Tra Thomas recently said that maybe you needed to have more of a personal relationship with players, or communicate better with players, that the approach was too business-like. What is your reaction to that?

"I am who I am. I do what I do. We've had a little bit of success here. Can I get better at what I do? I'm always going to strive to get better, just like I mention with the players. But I can't change personalities, because players read through that and they're going to think you are putting on a show. Am I up for suggestions? I'm always up for suggestions. To get better, I'm always up for suggestions. I really respect Tra, too. Tra has been with us here for a long time and helped us win a lot of football games, so I respect the things he says and look at them. But to change, it's hard to change as a person. That's a tough thing to do, and still have players respect you as a whole and the things we've done here."

Success = Reid. Basic translation, "because of who I am and the relationship I have with my players, we have had some success."

That is the core of it. It's why no player is brought in to be a superstar, because it overshadows the guys who pull the strings.

"You get uppity (bigger contract demands, talking to the media, etc), you get gone. We run the show. We are the winners. You are tools to help us achieve that."

The fact that he uses that thinking when talking about his former pro-bowl staple at OT - who had been his player for his entire tenure - discarding Thomas' thoughts and advice, means Thomas, and for that matter probably Dawk, mean absolutely nothing to the man. farg all that bullshtein that gets spewed about how he loves his lineman, and all  that trash.

The entire FO is rotten, and if this team wins a Super Bowl with them in charge, it will be in spite of them, not the other way around. It makes me genuinely sad that the team I've grown up with has become this way.

If you want it to change, stop putting money in their pockets. That simple.

[ice grillin you]

that wont stop them from being douches...you are who you are...that will just cause them to spend less money

That's just retarded - there's a list of people (mind you, a number of which no one seems to know) who will pick up my tickets quicker than the Eagles would draft an undersized LB.

[SunMo]

there is a long line of dumbasses who will pay to see these guys, so i might as well be the dumbass that does it.

[General_Failure]

Even dumbasses can understand that they're eating shtein if they roll it around in their mouths long enough.

[ice grillin you]

anyone that says give up your tickets doesnt have tickets

[rjs246]

Give up your tickets.

[SunMo]

[General_Failure]

Its not like he paid money for that face.

And that's why I hated dealing with tax returns from people with Spanish names.

Less filling/tastes great debates are more stimulating than a Reid bitchfest.

Here's hoping all of you who continue this get bitten by AIDS-infected chimps at the Zoo.
