Jim Harbaugh HC, to the LA Chargers

[Selassie I]

Well, my nephew (Sister's Son) is a big Jim Harbaugh fan. My nephew tends to root more for coaches then teams (God knows where he got that from) so now with Harbaugh with the Chargers, I expect him to be on the Charger bandwagon moving forward. I love him dearly and he loves sports and is a great athlete or was went to college on a baseball scholarship and now is a scratch golfer, but I do not approve of all of his choices and will have to deal with him rooting for the Bolts moving forward.

I feel your pain.

My sis, 2 of her sons and her daughter only wear Brady jerseys when they know we're getting together. They thoroughly enjoy making me sick.

Just bring up all the cheating. It riles Brady fans up without fail.

Oh... BELIEVE ME. I literally preach it to them almost constantly.

It is quite obvious to anyone reading it that your definition would include anyone complaining about things you deem unworthy of complaint.

That's your opinion. It's not obvious to everyone ... it was a throwaway line due to all the whining that was going on on a lot of subjects. And now this is the biggest overreaction ever. And all anyone had to do was report it. So, do what you will. It was my opinion and I stand by it - it is how I feel. So do what you need to do. It's your show. I will abide by the decisions that are made.

phantom shitter

Your Naval background is showing there.

Dude I went to A School with got thrown out of the Navy for doing that in his first squadron.

Fuck Harbaugh

Karen.

Keep the "throwaway lines" to yourself tough guy.

Ouch.

 

[RamsSince1969]

The Chargers are backing up their "Brinks Truck" to pay Harbaugh.

 

[Conciliator]

And I agree with them, she lucked into hers.

or maybe "Hello, this is Georgia...go ahead and send over those two divers we spoke about earlier this week"

 

[Conciliator]

First, it was a comment on a lot of things in general. Not just this thread. It has to do with this plus whining about Lions dirty hits, some Rams player getting snubbed, Morris, McVay, officials, and all that. All fans do it some, but when it gets incessant it looks worse for the complainer ... hence the Karen comparison.




You seem to think this was directed at you, specifically. It wasn't, But if it hits close enough to home for you to react this way then it's really a "you" think. Has nothing to do with me.




Well, since it was not directed at anyone this is an odd reaction by you. It's fine if you want to be mad at football but if you are part of the Karen complaint culture and it struck home, that is fine. It may help you in the long run.

Sure, that'll be happening when you do the same.

who is this guy.

 

[Conciliator]

Yes. And they deserve it an it is allowed. It was not at you. it jus happened to be in a thread you were posting in.


It was not just about Harbaugh critics. I couldn't care less about him one way or another. I just used a response to a Harbaugh to make comment on all the complaining I have seen on various topics lately.

And I liked it to people wanting to see the manager over their barista being bad or rude or whatever. It was not directed at one person, nor restricted to Harbaugh's critics. I am not a Michigan fan or a Michigan hater.



Well, that's your opinion. I think I do know. We disagree.


If you think anything I post is out of bounds, report it.

I cannot help it if it struck a nerve with you. If I say something not directed at anyone in particular and you get offended, well, that is something I cannot control

And I don't take offense to negative comments. I respond with my opinion on the matter. But in reading the rules, in no way do I see that post as against them. Maybe if I said someone specifically was a Karen, like someone said XYZ stinks and I quoted them in the response and personally and said "Don't be a Karen" then I can see your point.

This was not even a response to a response that had you in it. So, if you want to think it was about you, that is your right. But it wasn't and as I said, not even limited to Harbaugh --- had to do with that and all the other things I mentioned in the first response.

If I wanted to make a negative comment toward you, you'd know it.

since he showed up out of nowhere calling several fans on a fans comments site "liars" if they fairly criticized our DC, was thinking/hoping he would bring that posting brilliance (most slides we've ever seen and a few we very much enjoy) moving with our DC's promotion to an Atlanta fans forum. one can only hope. lived in Atlanta for 40 years and trust me, their new head coach will have many comments that will need to be labeled "liars'... opportunities will abound.
Maybe Mr Kupped might join the Atlanta effort as well, there will be plenty Falcons fans whose comments will need disparagement.

Go Rams.

Fairly? Like "stupid, afraid, retarded?" Is that the kind of fair criticism you mean?

Is he automatically going to fail? You know this how?

More fairness, I guess.

 

[Corbin]

Vermiel was the worst, terrible. He only got good when the players had to mutiny. Terrible coach.
That teams success was more about Martz. He knew it and took his offense and our quarterback to KC.

This is an absolutely horrendous take.

"He only got good after the players mutinied?" Do you not remember the POS roster we had when he took over? As he's stated he had to put them to work to get rid of the ones that weren't willing to put in the effort to be great. PS Vermeils knew he had to get a great OC to handle the offense. Sound exactly like the STL Post Dispatch cesspool.

I have to agree that with the Rams, Vermiel was a bad choice. Vermiel without Martz = Vermiel being fired at the end of 1999.

Martz without Vermeil = probably never heading to a SB.

Maybe your memory is suffering ? Vermiel thought he was going to beat his guys into shape.
He was nothing without Martz except a fired head coach.
You don't remember Vermiel, when he "took over" the play calling. 1st and goal short yardage he brings in extra linemen in his "Jumbo" package. Super tight formation, he is going mano on mano like a tough guy. And blasts June Henly in that pile of humanity for a loss.
Martz comes in, same situation. Spreads guys out, give his offense room, hands the ball off, TOUCHDOWN !
I knew what plays were coming half the time just by formation and I am just a fan. NFL DCs knew just about every play that was coming.
Vermiel had Orlando Pace, just did not have enough brains to know how to use him.
He did draft pace tough, still, terrible head coach.
Nothing without Martz who knew taking the defense by surprise was a good thing.

Vermeil did beat his guys into shape and as stated by D'Marco Farr in Americas Game 1999 and stated as much it was that whooping that got rid of the guys who weren't willing to put in and sacrifice and the ones left behind were the base of that team.

Vermeil playcalling? Which is why he stated after the 98 season he knew he had to go out and get a dynamic OC and QB.

How to use Orlando Pace? seriously? It's rocket science how to use a LT?

Maybe your memory is suffering from biasness. smh

who is this guy.

Somebody who copies and pastes things from X and acts like he created them and has an in depth knowledge base of football when he only parrots whatever the person he copies his info from on X.

 

[dieterbrock]

who is this guy.

A guy who defends Rams coaches/players and has somehow been vilified for it.
But why we're on the subject, who are you??

On the bright side all these folks who get all wadded up if you say a disparaging thing about our ex DC will have to go the a Falcons site and act like his personal bodyguard.

Thats my opinion and I am sticking by it. Vermiel was pals with Georgia, strike one. He coddled horrible person L Phillips. You can call it what you to and make your excuses for him running his players into the ground to the point of mutiny. He would blabber all the time about how hard June Henley "tried" in practice to the point where he actually started significant games when he should have been out of the NFL.
I could predict most of his plays, awful play caller. He cried at the drop of a hat.
Nice man, not a good coach. Martz got a Super Bowl stolen from him. What did he ever win in KC ?
My memory ? So I have taken a blank map of the earth and filled in every single country on it. my memory is not a issue.
You and I not having the same opinion apparently is, to you.

I’ve always thought that in retrospect, Vermiels return to the Rams was a bit overrated as well. People like to overlook the negatives.

However, he did have success in KC and didn’t get run out of the building like Martz did.

In the end, the GSOT was the perfect culmination of ideas and personalities, that if separated, wouldn’t have had (and didn’t), the same result.

Vermeil is over rated as a HC coach for the Rams but conversely is drastically underrated as a GM. I'll never understand how any Rams fan (and I am certainly not referring to you) could use any sort of disparaging remarks regarding Vermeil. He literally created the best franchise overhaul in history in a matter of 2 years. Kurt gets (and deserves) so much of the fanfare for the GSOT but when one steps back and sees all the moves DV made to get that roster, it's a bit earth shattering

I get the people who look at some of the negatives especially his first two years, but he needed a QB and although being somewhat forced to hire Mike Martz over Mike White, he allowed Martz to do his thing.

In Kansas City Al Saunders coordinated a spectacular offense, but Vermeil's hiring of DC Greg Robinson cursed him like Larry Marmie for Martz. In the end, if Vermeil had stayed The Rams would have won two more Super Bowls IMHO and then he could have turned it over to Martz after that because the Rams had the deal in place, where Martz was already staying.

That part may not have happened. Martz was a hot commodity off the 1999 season. At that point he wasn’t thought of as a difficult coach. He would have been hired as a head coach.

Had the front office had known how well Saunders would adopt Martz’s concepts, then I think they keep Vermeil and Saunders and allow Martz to move on. If they had known how Martz’s tenure was going to end, then they definitely would have let him go.

Thanks for bringing up Marnie btw. Now my nightmares will be back.
