Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No.

[ice grillin you]

damn

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So close, yet so far.  Your logic was pretty good, actually, but you didn't provide me enough incentives.

It's all about incentives.  And guaranteed money.

She should go public if her boss doesn't want to give her a raise.

She's only got two more years left on her deal!

People in the real world at least have the option of looking for a new job if their current one doesn't pay enough, even when there aren't any to be had.

How's the poker blog business treating you?

having season tickets gives you more of a right to bitch because you have a real investment in the team...just like being a board member of a big business or aholding a lot of stock in a company gives you more right to bitch about their business practices

You do know the difference between being a customer and being an investor/owner/board member, don't you?  Buying a product (season tickets) is NOTHING like having stock in a company.

Owner? Yes, bitch and make changes.
Investor? Yes, bitch and vote for changes.
Board member? Make changes to suit your fancy.
Customer? If you don't like the product, shop somewhere else.  There's a reason people say to vote with your wallet.

I complained to my boss that they weren't letting me put in enough hot chicks with huge racks.

How'd that work out for you?

I get to write about hot chicks with huge racks, but just for myself. I think everything worked out well.

yep.  it's easy for a fan to think that just because he spends $xxx every year on tickets, jerseys, etc, that he is making an "investment" into that team and should have extra entitlements.  but that's like saying that the trailer trash who do ALL of their shopping at wal-mart should have priviledges not extended to the casual customer. 

the only entitlements that come with purchasing season tickets is having a ticket in the same exact seat for every single game along with first dibs on playoff tickets. 

[ice grillin you]

theres no extra entitlements but theres a far deeper investment in the product when youre coming out of your pocket to the tune of thousands of dollars a year

if reid hires/drafts so called reid guys, then why isn't it showing. and farg these reid guys already, they can't get us close to the big one.

i was thinking something along these lines  and wondered if part of the problem with all this bitching was the model of player Reid chooses to draft.   From 1999-2005 the draft classes seem to have an absurdly high amount of guys that are either wierd, on drugs , or mentally weak.    Seriously, take a look at those draft classes and you have some strange stuff going on.   all the way from John Frank retiring to Damon Moores dog to Shawn Andrews depression.  

lol, as bad as that sounds your spot on. failure after failure. and it will continue because Reid refuses to change.

It's an emotional investment.  Not a business or capital investment.  You and I have the same emotional investment in the team, even though you spend thousands on seats, and I watch the game at a sports bar.  You have no more "right" to bitch than anyone else, no matter how much more you spend.  Your opinion is in no way more valid than anyone else's - even though you spend thousands on tickets.

I think I've said it enough different ways.

[Sgt PSN]

that's the thing.....it's not really an investment.  it's a purchase.  nothing more, nothing less.  rjs drinks the hell out of miller lite and he even goes so far as to pimp it here ad naseum.  but miller lite damn sure doesn't give a crap about any input rusty might have.  

quit looking at season tickets as an investment and you'll have a much easier time coping with the stupid crap that this team does.  it's a ticket, not a stock option.  

[rjs246]

Hush your mouth.  Miller Lite and I have a special relationship.
