Egotists & Egoists - Lions, Part 1

[call_me_ishmael]

Lazard gets egoist from me too. His aggressive play lit up the sideline. Needed that juice on offense. Rodgers asked for him - that’s pretty interesting. That had to be part losing confidence in Shepherd and part appreciation for the Lazar. He earned some more pt.

IIRC even coming out of camp there was a presser or locker sess where Rodgers called out Lazard as someone who was doing a good job. I am 99% sure of it. Anyone want to find a link?

Studs - both Smiths. That jump Preston got on his sackwas beautiful.

Duds - the halftime act. That was a giant pile of boring, awful dreck.

He saw the play clock hit zero and took off. The Lions did the typical snap and just after zero.

Wasn't he part of cutdowns?

He gave him a preseason shout out, but yes, Lazarus was cut then resigned after the Week 1 roster reshuffling with IR.

Perhaps he too has an Aaron Rodger's-sized chip on his shoulder. Well, Rodgers literally has a metal chip on his shoulder; LazaЯus maybe just has a figurative one - hopefully it inspires him...

EITHER Crosby is a major stud for being so confident of his game winning kick that he told Brandon Burks in advance to come over and help him with his Leap, or else Burks is a moderate stud for knowing Crosby well enough to anticipate he would need a boost and getting there in a timely way to give it to him.

BTW, APB, I have to kind of go with Rand on this -tist v -ist thing. Egoists are just poor schmucks minding their own business with very normal motivation of self interest. Egotists are conceited bastards - braggarts. Thus, -ist is more studly by a small margin than -tist.

Try to look at the picture in a different light:

Say, an egoist is sitting on a long bench on a bridge above a river, eating his lunch and whatnot. Along come a fair woman and her infant son. Woman sits down next to the egoist and starts breastfeeding her offspring. Egoists doesn't blink an eye, for, breastfeeding is a natural phenomenon in his fishy society, and besides, the woman is not exactly hot.

Along comes a prophet. Prophet sits down and says, "See that kid yonder? Don't worry, mother ain't fluent in English - speaks German. Providence has given you two choices: A) You could concede the woman to her peaceful breastfeeding session. After she finishes feeding her child, they will wander off. You will never smell 'em again in this fishy universe. When the child is all grown up, he will grow a fishy mustache...and he will fuck up this fishy planet. Consequently, you will accumulate a greed-fucked load of frogskins via war profits.

"Or, B) You could strike the kid away from his mother's breast, and drown the kid in the river under this fishy bridge. Society will hang you. But, with the kid dead, billions of innocent humans will survive to dance under the fishy sun, even though none of 'em will know a fuck about your great sacrifice. Kid's name is Hitler."

Not surprising, the egoist chooses option A. What a loser.

Worst moral philosophy exam question ever.

Perhaps this thread would be less confusing if I entitled it, "Altruists & Egoists."

I was very happy to see the Lounge Lazard perform well. But I can't help but feel that y'all are overlooking.....

THE LUXURY AUTOMOBILE!!!!



^^for the slow folks in the back, this means #89 Marcedes Lewis

You're at least good for a hearty laugh.

My first thought as I read was that not blinking an eye or taking a nice long look runs contrary to self interest - which is the hallmark of being an egoist. My second thought was that being a casualty of war would have been more likely than getting rich on war profits. My third thought was that you didn't even say which option your egotist would choose in the same situation. The definition of the word says nothing about interventionist personal behavior, just being a conceited bastard. Your -tist would probably do the same nothing as your -ist, but he'd go through life bragging about how he met baby Hitler and his half-naked mother.

Tell me again how either of these apply to making good football plays or the lack of it hahahahahahaha.

Tex, is how is Brandon Burks?

Do you mean Hunter Bradley?

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm pretty sure it was #42 Burks, but it's possible it was #43 Bradley. I guess the latter would make more sense.

Edited for grammar. Not “surprisingly” (stopped trying to memorize spellings after spell-check was created). I might be an egotist. Like to reread my ole posts and laugh at my ole jokes.
