Joe Banner Is The Prince Of Darkness

[ice grillin you]

That's the smartest thing sunmo's ever said. imo, he's 100% right. But igy's hate for Banner and the Eagles FO in general gives him tunnel vision. Most all of us are the same to a lesser extent. Banner's a money grubbin' bitch,  and business is business.. But...who here, if they were running a multi million dollar business wouldn't want someone like him running it?

sun mo didnt say it...it was banners line while he was on his PR tour across philly radio stations and televison and its 100% wrong....but please by all means continue dropping jewels of wisdom on our domes...


and if this was IBM and i was a stock holder sure id want banner making me money...but im an eagle fan and i want a superbowl so honestly no id rather have someone else running my business

You prove my point without even knowing you're doing it.

I'm not saying I agree with the way the Eagles are run, I think a sports team that is supported by a city has a certain obligation to said city to do whatever it can for a championship. Still, there is no guarantee that spending wild on free agents or whatever will work, like what happened with TO, or the way the taterskins are run. But you go ahead and keep pissing and moaning like a little bitchboy about crap you have no control over. Really, what does the way the Eagles and the city deal with each other have to do with what goes on during the season? The only reason you even bring it up is because it puts Banner in a bad light and you feel you have to jump on your soap box and shout it from the mountain tops how much of a money grubbin' bastich that Banner is. What about the city of Philly trying for years to pass off the dump that was the Vet as a viable football arena?? How many free agents do you think didn't sign with the Eagles because of that crap field?? That place was the worst in the league, and it's still coming back to haunt the team. But as is with all those like igy with the fanatical tunnel vision, any business conducted by the hated Eagles FO must be either rippin' someone off or not being done in a rightious manner.

who said anything about spending money....or free agents...or spending money on free agents?

Really, what does the way the Eagles and the city deal with each other have to do with what goes on during the season?

nothing...again who said it did

The only reason you even bring it up is because it puts Banner in a bad light and you feel you have to jump on your soap box and shout it from the mountain tops how much of a money grubbin' bastich that Banner is.

im pretty sure ive never in my life called banner a money grubber or cheap...but keep on keepin on with the wild fantasies

What about the city of Philly trying for years to pass off the dump that was the Vet as a viable football arena??

actually the city had been trying to get a new stadium for years but it just didnt come together for a variety of different reasons...to try and sound like they didnt want a new stadium or pretended the vet was a viable stadium is....and i know this is going to come as a shock.....wrong

That place was the worst in the league, and it's still coming back to haunt the team.

lolol are you insane

last three years in the vet three playoffs and two nfc championship games

six years since the vet four playoffs three nfc championship games and a superbowl

yeah the vet is still haunting them

there isnt a eagle coach or player or a visiting coach or player who hasnt said the vet gave the eagle a huge hoime field advantage

[Rome]

I wish I could give myself rickets for starting this stupid thread.  Rickets!

[Diomedes]

But you can!  Cut out vitamin D and Calcium entirely, and almost all food....give it a few months and you'll be just like half the population of your godforsaken southern state.

[Rome]

I can never tell when you're hitting on me.  Is this one of those times?

[Diomedes]

That I'm hitting on you is a constant; it's the tactics which change.

You have, numerous times.

Really, what does the way the Eagles and the city deal with each other have to do with what goes on during the season?

nothing...again who said it did

No one, which is why it amazes me when you bitch about a subject that doesn't, just so you can get your two cents in about how you hate Banner.

The only reason you even bring it up is because it puts Banner in a bad light and you feel you have to jump on your soap box and shout it from the mountain tops how much of a money grubbin' bastich that Banner is.

im pretty sure ive never in my life called banner a money grubber or cheap...but keep on keepin on with the wild fantasies

It would be a wild fantasy to think you could ever feel otherwise.

No, it isn't.

That place was the worst in the league, and it's still coming back to haunt the team.

The crowd gave the Eagles home field advantage, not the field. The field was a disadvantage to any player who  played on it. And yes, having to put up millions of dollars for an exibition game that was never played because the field wasn't fit for a Pop Warner team is definatly coming back to haunt them.

We all know how Banner is and we've all said it, many times. It gets old.

[SunMo]

so am i smart or no?

[shorebird]

If it's any consolation, I'd say you're as smart as anyone else here on this board.

damnation by faint praise says hi

$50 to anyone that can actually sit all the way through that without vomiting all over their keyboard. 

I couldn't.

[ice grillin you]

remember when he said like 5 times back in the spring that theres no way even if they tried that they could spend all their money under the cap?

i love in the interview too how he says doesnt matter what the players association or the league says theyve spent its wrong because he has all these payments that only he knows about that have to be made

Yeah, and now they've come "the closest they've ever come to having insignificant or no cap room at all."  Peters and Andrews are the only additions they've made that aren't here on 1 year deals for chump chnage.  Come on, Joe.

Well, Banner is smarter than the entire NFL so I don't doubt that at all...
