Just Jeff was Just Joking. Read it again and think about it.

Just joking or not. Just Jeff's post is certainly worthy and debateable. Otherwise I personally have "no issue" with his post.

No that's not exactly the case and your response pbmax. What makes you so astute?

I would like to know "how" a person here can tell when a member is "just joking" or not!?

I qualified my response in terms of that "or just joking"; but on the whole the post appears serious.

If the post is "in fact" serious there is merit in it's claim in terms of Montreal and racism.

Black people that want to attract attention in Montreal or negative attention and the authorities happens. In Montreal the fact of racial profiling and the Montreal Police Dept. is a pertinent and real concern if not a valid huge issue. Montreal is a Cosmopolitan City and color and the population is a fact of life.

Sometimes the police don't handle things as best as they might. In many professions workers have good and bad days. There is plenty that causes the Police to have a bad shift.

I maintain that if your arrested for anything and you act like an idiot you might get the crap beat out of you by the police. That's not reserved just for BLACKS.

Because its a direct transfer of this discussion we had just one month ago. It also has nothing in the way of evidence or examples to tie the two together except Chad Johnson. And since Chad just signed with Montreal, I doubt he is using Chad as evidence of FA acquisition trouble by the Montreal club.

So on the one hand, a lot of off-hand assertions call back to a previous discussion possibility for amusement.

On the other hand, not much in the way of a serious assertion or evidence.

As always, I could be wrong. But I don't think so in this case.

[Just Jeff]

I'm a very complex person with layers of personality, but on this one, I may have just been funning. It was a sarcastic post, similar to the ones that we see all too often about how GB can't possibly get FA to come here, because its so cold and white.

I obviously also did not draw the line to the previous discussion - I went and looked at it, I assume you're referring to the post by mraynrand, there's no reference to ochocinco.
If it was a sarcastic post, I did get defensive and overreacted, but even reading it now, if it was sarcastic it was delivered Steven Wright like. It's probably not helped by the fact that I have trouble differentiating between Just Jeff and Rutnstrut who both seemed to become active at the same time.

He scored a 27 on the wonderlic test so I don't think thats the problem. There have been rumors about him being a coke head which makes the most sense to me.

When Freeman was with the Vikes and then didn't even suit up after a bit, the whole "insider" talk on the radio up here was that he wasn't picking up the offense and simply was bad. The injury talk was deemed as a coverup for his complete suckiness. He may have scored a 27 on the Wonderlic, but we all know there's book smart and there's football smart.

Yeah, it can be hard to pick this stuff up on a message board, esp. when you don't know the history of the poster.

I simply remember him previously being jocular. To me, it read just like a post on that older thread even if its not a duplicate of any one post. Change Montreal to Green Bay, and it fits.

I also assume that any single line post is probably trying to get my goat, one way or another.

Leadership.

Dez Bryant’s $55,000 rookie dinner tab was an eye opener

Or lack thereof.

I commented on that story - said "notice he did not say he would prevent this from happening again". Also, iirc he was targeted by the vets for refusing to carry one of the vet WR's pads.

smarts has nothing to do with it i think. i have a very high IQ (well pretty high anyways), yet in high school i could not learn or remember plays to save my life, no matter how many times we ran them or how many hours i studied them

all those x's and o's and lines just turned into big jumbles up messes once they got into my brain

Green Bay has a restaurant that makes pretty good chimichanga and it did nothing to attract Tony Gonzales.

Pot smoking could explain this apparent contradiction.

Cowboys are installing ballet bars to help players stretch out and reduce hamstring injuries.

Packers should look into this. It can't make the Packer's injury situation any worse.

I blew out my hamstring doing the dance of the sugarplum fairy.
