gregstephens Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Since the offseason is so slow my Examiner column is running dry, I've decided to dedicate it to translating Chad Tweats. Check out some of his latest that HAVEN'T made it on here.http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-7774-Ci...nslations-61109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Still haven't changed that picture, ehh? Not that I'm complaining because we all love a good laugh. As for the tweeting thang, I'm waiting for one like this.... "Just got in fight with big dude over last french fry. He still hitting me. Bleeding on phone. Hard to type. Boxing lessons not working out so gude 4 me. Ouch....just lost a toof. Dude hitting me with bofe hands. He good. Think I just tasted my spleen. Sorta like chicken nugget. Or maybe filet O fish. Uh oh, here comes the haymaker. Passing out now. Tweet dreams fo Chad. Mommy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vanity has died considerably over the past twenty years, so I kinda hate to change it actually.That's actually a pretty funny 'tweet' btw.

ArmyBengal Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I don't give a sh*t if he is or isn't underpaid (I think he is) but I also feel if he has the monster type season he and many others feel he will, the Bengals will compensate and he will return with a new contract. My next thought is going to be, how much do you pay him ?? He will be what 32 next year ?? Does it even seem remotely smart to pay him in the range of Fitzgerald or anyone in that range ?? I would think not, but hey, you never know what the hell is going to happen with this.We need a f*cking Chad sub-forum here with all this bullsh*t !!!

ArmyBengal Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Saying sh*t like that just seems disrespectful to the fans who pay a ton of money to come watch the team every Sunday and don't make a fraction of the amount he does.Just me...

My job on the column, admittedly, it to stoke some fires. Hey, it's media, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 We need a f*cking Chad sub-forum here with all this bullsh*t !!! I have a suggestion. Start a thread called "The Daily Twit" and post each Chad related douchery there. That way those of us who aren't as amused can ignore MOST of the blathering. And I say most of the blathering because there WILL be spillover into other threads. After all, Chad's twittering is little more than a defacto daily press leak/release from a player who probably couldn't spell restraint, and he's promised to keep it up all season long...including during games. It makes my bowels flop just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason that there can't be a single "Chad Twitter" thread updated to the minute if you like... but this multiple threads a day thing has got to stop.

I don't find it all that interesting, and having just one thread to skim over while I'm looking for news of rookie signings and the like is more convenient.

HairOnFire Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 The 'Chad Twitter' thread isn't a bad idea. I will consolidate. Seriously, call it "The Daily Twit" and do that sticky thing you mods sometimes do. That way it stays on the first page all year long. Then update it as often as you feel compelled to. Readers who care about whether Chad has a stool to sit on when shopping can check in often, but the board clutter won't get out of hand for those of us who steadfastly refuse to give a s**t. Last point. As it was my idea I should get half of the profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 just checked with an acquaintence of mine who works at the Apple Store in Kenwoodhe says the stool story is bogus. Instead, the store was so busy today due it's grand opening that there were no stools available for poor princess Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
