The Liberal Utopian Top 5/Worst 5 NFL GM

[BallHawk]

I see this two ways

There's a 99.99% chance Tank wrote this.

OR

There's a 00.01% chance that Tank has a long lost brother that his mom gave up at birth. They share the exact views and love for the hash. Come to think of it that would make an awesome movie. I'd call "Wandering Polar Bears."

Regardless of who wrote the "article," I consider Ted Thompson a top-10 GM. He is the main reason Seattle reached the Super Bowl, he has an excellent track record. I also believe he is setting the Packers up for a great future. I could be wrong, but let's hope I'm not.

Was Thompson a GM in seattle?

He was the vice president of football operations, but was whollly responsible for draft duties. Some players he drafted are: Steve Hutchinson, Shaun Alexander, Darrell Jackson, Marcus Trufant, Ken Lucas, Ken Hamlin, Michael Boulware, and Josh Brown (a kicker).

As VP of Mike Sherman's fan club, I drafted Nick Collins last year. The rest were thompson's mistakes. Why is people so high on Thompson? Because he's gay?

That's "adhere", pinhead.

"Abhor" is what I think of your posts and football knowlege.

Ya know, regard with horror or loathing, to detest.

Exactly, old timer, That's what i meant. I am afriad of conventional grammers because it is very dull. Go read King Lier and you will know what I am talking about.

This guy really is this goofy, isn't he?

King Lier, eh pinhead?

Why don't you read it, it might help you.

Had to bump the thread to show what a fool Tank is.

How is using proper grammer while speaking or writing a bad thing? You want to use words out of context and misplaced to prove a point? I just don't get this whole thing. It's crap. It's just an excuse to write poor articles and say that any "mistakes" or improper word usage was on purpose to prove a point. Wish I would have know that in college. I would have aced every essay I ever wrote. Lets just do the same for math. 2+2 does not equal 4. Society says it should and I want to rebel so 2+2 now equals 63.25. It's ebonics all over again. Dumb.

Thats as far as ive read but. Since I am bored, let me replay.

There are certain steps in writing a good essay/article

1 brainstorm
2 rough draft
3 proof read
4 peers feedback
5 proof read/revision
6 edit
7 hand in the final copy
8 make additional revision if necessary

D'tyrant stopped at step 2. Said he is not going to waste time going through all those step since he isn't being graded by some one with a Ph.d. The Editor in cheif of Liberal is a Liberal so he doesnt care.

Hmmm....I guess your just dumb tank.

Hmmm, I guess your just dumb Tank.

I could care less how it's written. All that matters to me is if it's understood. I guess I feel the point of communication is to get your message relayed. I don't feel any need to do it a certain way that was LAID out for us over the years. It's not an excuse for incorrect writing but rather an effect of an attitude and general lack of caring about the details that lead to the ignorance.

I'm sure Shakespear wasn't trying to prove a point by writing the way he did. If I had to guess, it was a product of him not giving a shit for so long that he didn't have a base for how it was supposed to be done. Like ebonics, I suppose you could call him stupid if that is how you see it.

Brett Favre is an unconventional QB in his mechanics. You could judge him on how he gets the ball there, but I choose to judge him on if the ball got there. I'm sure many teams were so concerned with the details that they didn't see the big picture. Much like proper writing is a guideline for getting our points expressed but is not the only way. Shakespear has shown us that wonderfull, brilliant art can be done in a unconventional way. Favre has shown us that HOF QB play can be done in a different way. I'm sure it is endless. I guess you could call it dumb. I call focus on the big picture rather than the details. If your able to separate the important details from the useless ones, you can meet the end goal IMO. Does everyone understand what I just wrote? If so, I met my goal and the rest I don't really care about. I won't try to get better.

I do well in math. It's not because I follow the steps laid out by the professor but rather because I focus on the overall understanding of what is needing to be accomplised and then find my own way there. Once you understand the general concept, the steps are very unimportant. It is a challenge for me to solve a problem. It is a challenge for me to find a better way. It drives me. I could do just fine in writing if I ever cared enough to do it your way. Fact is, I don't and I respect Tank for not caring either because I think it is pointless.

Come on BigDmoney, everybody knows that 2+2=5. Didn't you read 1984?

Good post nick!

Well, I'm glad you both feel this way. Truth is, I'm turning 40 this year, I've got many more years to work, and with this attitude I don't have to worry, should I return to Corporate America, about you guys pushing me out of the "Ivory Tower".

It has been my experience that those who have hired me are almost less concerned with my technical expertise, and more focused on whether or not I was "a good fit". A good fit was determined by whether or not I could "get along" with the office dynamic, and whether or not I could communicate.

If I submitted anything to my superiors resembling the english that you guys post here, I'd be so embarrassed I don't think I'd show up the next day, or ever again. I don't consider myself "disciplined" in the English language, however, I'm a rhodes scholar compared to the two of you.

I'm glad to have you both in the workforce as well as those like you, it is less that I have to concern myself with. Tank, I hope you enjoy data entry, if you don't, you could probably get a job driving a bread truck, but they probably have to have drug testing, so maybe you can't even do that...

You guys are simply ridiculous. I don't remember who said that you "have to understand the rules to know how to break them", but that poster got it right. Keep digging guys, you'll get to China soon. LMAO....
