eagles franchise LJ

[Munson]

LJ didn't seem too thrilled with the tag in his interview with DGunn.

[hunt]

that's because lj thinks he's antonio gates.
i wouldn't mind if that blockhead pulled a trotter/simon and wound up getting released.

[ice grillin you]

dont know what interview youre talking about but in the dgunn interview on csn he said it was a positive that they tagged him because it means the team believes that he can be good if healthy and he also said that he would have more trouble going into mini camps last year with a year left on his deal than this year with the tag

the biggest thing out of all that i heard was that he said when he goes to mini camp this year

it also sounded like he was intimating that it would be advantageous for him to sign a long term deal with the eagles

so im confused as to what youre talking about because i heard nothing but positive stuff coming from him

[Munson]

His overall demeanor was pouting and the "positive' stuff didn't come up until DGunn outright said "Okay but you can also look at this in the positive way, and that is that the Eagles want you back for at least another year)"


And I can't remember the exact wording but I'm pretty sure the interview led off with something to the effect of "how do you feel?" and "a little bit disappointing"

[ice grillin you]

lol

he said he was surprised and that he had already said bye to some of his teammates...the word disappointing was never uttered


"Any time you have a job in this league, it's a good situation," Smith said by telephone last night. "Being that I come from humble roots, I'm not going to act spoiled about this. I know most people would die to be in the situation I'm in."

"It's still kind of weird, because I really, really wasn't expecting to be here," Smith said when asked about the franchise tag. "Now, it's a one-year deal. I really didn't help myself by being injured. If I had a great season and they franchise-tagged me, I'd be upset. I'm happy they're bringing me back, but it is a one-year deal, and I'm going to be in the same boat this year as next year.

"Hopefully I'll be healthy and be able to show people what I'm capable of doing. I do still want that long-term security, but I wasn't expecting to get it from the Eagles. Obviously they've evaluated me and they're saying, 'When L.J. is healthy we can use him and he helps us.' That's a compliment and I'll take it. Philly is a great place to play when you're winning, and hopefully we can get some wins and I can help this team pick up where it left off."

[Munson]

Again, none of that "positive" attitude came up in the interview with DGunn until he forced the issue and said "BUT there is some positive to this, LJ..."

Even Gunn could see that LJ was being pouty about it and tried to spin it in a positive way for him right in front of his face.


Of course had this been McNabb pouting, the entire world would jump down his throat.

[Diomedes]

But there is nothing better in the FA market, so the franchise tag is a smart move. I hope he signs the one year tender and the team doesn't stop looking for the future at TE.

yeah, I'm feeling the same way

that's because lj thinks he's antonio gates.

All idiot athletes think they are as good as the great one..Trotter wanted Ray Ray money...Simon wanted Sapp money...neither of them were worth what they wanted, and time will prove that neither is LJ worth what he thinks he is..


the rep for fumbles comes also from his fumbling hands failing to pull in the catches that starting TEs take in, and his reckless manner of carrying the ball once he does have it...the guy just doesn't inspire confidence in any way.

and also...he can't block for shtein...I just can't stand that in a TE...no matter what system the coach is running your starting TE needs to be a decent blocker at worst

[ice grillin you]

Of course had this been McNabb pouting, the entire world would jump down his throat.

please show us any proof whatsoever that lj is pouting....a quote a video ANYTHING other than this.....

And I can't remember the exact wording

[Munson]

Well considering that I just watched the interview about 30 minutes ago and LJ had the  look going, I'm going to go ahead and say he was being pouty about it.

DGunn trying to put a positive spin on it right there in the interview after realizing LJ was being pouty about it, he obviously agrees with me.


We can sit here and over analyze every one of McNabb's facial expressions, words, and the way they're said in interviews, but god forbid someone does the same thing to LJ Smith.

[Diomedes]

Oh, this is great...another vigy/Munron joint...how refreshing

i watched the interview this morning & that's exactly how it went.  if gunn hadn't put his positive spin on things, blockhead would still be pouting.

[ice grillin you]

lj smith farging admitted that he hurt his value and didnt really deserve a big long term deal cause of his injuries...what player ever says shtein like that...but hes pouting??

do you ever get tired of playing yourself the idiot?

well that settles it

[Munson]

Well IGY thinks he's right about everything so it's fun to poke at him a little here and there. Apparently a guy who's smart enough to say all the right things to the media can't appear to be pouting in his one TV interview since the tagging.

This is part of what makes CF so refreshing and new. That way no one has to start any threads about the quality of CF going downhill.

It's funny and ironic that you're getting mad because someone is taking a guess at what's going on in a players head based on his demeanor and the way he said things in a TV interview. That almost reminds me of someone I know...someone that posts here.

Anyone who watched that interview saw that even Gunner tried to bail LJ's ass out of negative town by trying to say "hey man, look, here's the positive side of it"

Of course you won't listen because, well, you're a douche bag.

[SunMo]

so we've got a moron in Munson saying that LJ was pouting and an obvious hater in hunt corroborating?  damning evidence to say the least
