HoosierCat Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm really surprised, honestly, that there isn't more pumpkin bashing today. Two reasons:1) The material this week is the same as last week. Same stupidity, same reasons.2) It's not really sporting. Kind of like going to the Special Olympics to make fun of the gimps.In Katie's defense (no, I can't believe I typed that, either) let's remember we all know who is really calling the shots.

Given that, I still have to say that if you get well into your 40s and haven't yet grown enough intestinal fortitude to tell your old man when he's being a dink.... well,which is worse, spineless or stupid?

agreen_112 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 This show just shows how retarted this front office is lol, it just shows what a joke they really are.Agreed.. They look retarded, boring, and unenthusiastic. Like they're accustomed to losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that, I still have to say that if you get well into your 40s and haven't yet grown enough intestinal fortitude to tell your old man when he's being a dink.... well,which is worse, spineless or stupid?Take your pick. I'll just stick with grossly incompetent.There have always been suspicions that the whole Katie-as-GM bit was a fraud, that she was nothing more than a glorified secretary and well-compensated sock puppet for Daddy. I don't know if that's true, but from what (admittedly little) we've seen on HK, she hasn't done anything to disprove those rumors.Beating up on Katie is sort of like beating up on Scooter Libby. Both deserve scorn, certainly, but neither is/was at the root of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 For that matter, while Chad always has plenty to say, I'm not convinced he's much smarter than Henry.Empty vessels make the most noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think Henry is going to have a big year and bail us out of a few sticky situations. He nearly did exactly that vs the Steelers in 2006 (thanks Shane), but he'll never be a Phi Beta Kappa.If he catches a couple TD passes vs the Steelers do we really care about this other stuff?The true test will be the first time or two that he is required to reach over his head for the ball while going over the middle. I want him to find the cure for his alligator arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 They might not have to worry about him going over the middle that much if they were to move Coles to the slot like they have been mentioning.I agree though that he just needs to stay focused so those problems don't become worse. I love our WR corps at this point though. LOVE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that's true, but from what (admittedly little) we've seen on HK, she hasn't done anything to disprove those rumors.You're correct, of course. I think we can just go with common sense - no way Mikey lets her do anything he doesn't approve. I think he's probably having Katie take over gradually so she's "prepared" (using that term very loosely) when Mikey goes to meet Daddy.I'd still have more respect for her if she just came clean with Keels rather than just bleating incoherently, though. Just tell him, "Hey, we think a rookie tackle isn't worth the 20% bump that picks are seeing this year. We respect the slotting system, but it's a bad move for us to sign him at that price. Let's get creative...". Instead, we get "It's a lot of money, baaaaaah."Personally, I'd never take a job where I'm a sock puppet no matter how much you pay me, but that's just me.

TJJackson Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well, I'm not volunteering for the leper colony job....maybe Ron Mexico could take that one while I take the original offer, that way be both are lucratively employed?

jonahdsage Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm watching episode 2 again and it just got to the part with the cop giving a "safety" lesson . . . did anyone else think this was one of the more ridiculous things they've seen in a long time? I understand why it's happening and i'm sure some of it is really important stuff, but "did you know that, statistically speaking, more people die from coconuts every year than shark attacks?!" WHY in the world does the cop thing professional football players need to know that? Both hilarious and outrageous. Looking forward to episode 3.

ArmyBengal Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think it's still Cincinnati, but unless the Lions go 12-4, they take over as the worst sports franchise in all of sports for a decade from the Bengals. Couple that with the 0-16 beauty last season and that title will forever rest in Detroit. Better them than us !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough bullsh*t to deal with already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
