Hank Baskett Hysteria

[Rome]

he still hasnt proven he can get open in the league either...something im on record as saying he wont be able to do

Ummm... isn't this a prediction of failure?  Not being able to get open = failure, does it not?

Or maybe you'd like to twist it around and say that you were actually being super-positive here?

[Diomedes]

Yeah, you're right.

Of course I am.  It's foolish to predict success for first rounders, much less scrubs.  Optimism is the hallmark of basic natural stupidity, especially when applied to such improbable prospects as succeeding in the NFL, or finding a funny conservative.

[Eagles 3x]

Great googily moogily. I can't say great googily mmogily? Thats very upsetting. Upsetting to the point of being great googily moogily upsetting. I'll have to ask IGY to help me with my ding dang it, daw gone it all expressions.
Remember a UDFA out of Hofstra (Hofsta for gods sake) that had a pretty nice career for the Jets? Is it totally impossible that it could happen in Philly?


I don't care. I'm still hoping for the best.

the eagles have had one receiver in the last ten years that has been able to get open in the league....they werent all failures even tho they also may not have been number ones...baskett has a chance to play a role on this team in being a red zone threat much the way pinky plays his role as a down the field wr


so tell me how is that preciting failure?

[Diomedes]

Dangitall, I rather like great googily moogily, though I wonder if you won't have a copyright lawyer from Google dropping by any minute to have a few words with you.

...improbable prospects as succeeding in the NFL, or finding a funny conservative.

Come on...I have a few good ones.  How about this one:

"Whats the receptionist say to everyone leaving the sperm bank?"

"Thanks for coming"

[Diomedes]

Hilarious.  You're the exception that proves the rule.

doesnt freezing gooey little fishies constitute child abuse to conservatives

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I figure that at least if Baskett doesn't get separation, he has the skills to be the winner in the fight for the ball more often than not.  That's a good trait to have in a receiver.  He'll only get better if he improves his route-running or game speed.

Sarcasm & pessimism are the only permissable expressions here, FF.

Move along, now...

How about a pessimistic pun?

The Eagles are that is incredibly accurate looking in the trash Baskett for WR's!1

[Rome]

I just stuck a white-hot screwdriver into my eye socket.

I found it a less painful experience than reading that pun.

I look at it this way, if Baskett were a 1st or 2nd round pick and was doing this well there would be no question to his impact or his ability. He's always gonna feel as if he has something to prove since he wasn't drafted, not to mention he's gonna be able to come under the radar especially early in the season since most NFL CBs won't take him that is incredibly accurate .

but what has he really done?

[Diomedes]

Cynic.  Pessimist.  Party pooper!
