Usually people that know a lot of random stuff are artistically minded... usually play an instrument but that could be painting, poetry etc... I just assumed instrument.

We had all sorts of technology and gimmicks to go with our nightclub-like weightroom. Our players were well-rested but they wanted a more lenient S&C coach and they didn't like to hit.

SMH...I am really totally shocked that none of them have quit. The difference has to be a complete shock to them.

I hope we find a way to RS Ollie & Shrout

Ollie has put on some good weight. I think we'll need him for depth, but the new rule really gives him a shot at a RS. The plan is to give Shrout PT, but stay within four games... assuming, of course, he doesn't amaze everyone in fall camp. I think we'll RS several DL--Garland and possibly Emerson. Definitely a RS for Antonutti-- he came in 10-15 lbs under his target weight after being sick.

Your right. 85 should be able to treat everyone the way he is. No one should defend Caleb or the others bringing information, because you know 85 and the others are right.... These guys just want E-Cred.

Happy?

When I was a little kid I went to a summer camp one year and we had a kid in my cabin who was the type who brought a lot of grief on himself. The kind of kid who walks up to a group of other kids cutting up telling the yo mama jokes they all know from their respective schools, hears a "yo mama so fat" joke, and starts gets so stressed out about his mom not being fat that the other kids just can't help piling on more and more until the poor kid is nearly in tears and has to get talked down by a counselor. He just couldn't ever come to realize that lashing out at every little thing that upset him was just gonna lead to loads more grief than letting things go.


Anyway I can't remember why exactly, but one day this kid got so wound up that he ran out of the cabin and climbed a tree in the woods nearby. Some other kids went after him to try and get him to come back and eventually his cabin counselors and the ones in the next cabin were all gathered around this tree tying to talk the kid down. He wasn't having any of it. He said he was done with camp and wasn't doing any more activities and nothing could make him come down from the tree. Eventually, the head of the camp notices the kids and counselors from two cabins are all gathered around a tree on on the treeline of the woods, comes over to see what's going on, sees the kid in the tree, and asks what's going on. Kid tells him he's had enough and he's done with camp. So the head of camp just says "Well, I hate to hear that. Stay up there as long as you need, the rest of us are gonna go on down to the lake and go swimming." Dude tells us all to go on about our day and leave the kid be. About 10 minutes after we get to the lake the kid came running down from the cabin with his trunks on to join in with the rest of us.



I never met that kid again after that summer, but I like to think that he learned a valuable lesson from the head of camp that day about the power of letting things go instead of getting worked up over all the little things people do that may get to us. Took me a few years to realize just how wise his actions were.

Calm down. Nobody is saying that.

All I meant is that it's not that unlikely that someone who's been a regular poster here for the better part of a decade may not be up to date on who exactly one of the guys who has only been around a few months is.

I find this difficult to believe if you are in this forum everyday tbh. Especially given how visible RPP, Marker, and Caleb have been and the content of their info.

FTR, I was referring to another poster not knowing who they are. I'm in here way too much to not have at least a vague idea of who most of the regulars are in the RF. I do think that marker posts the least out of all of those guys, though and I could see some not remembering him. Honestly I've seen caleb and others mention him more than I've actually seen him post.

I've seen a wagonload of noobs come and go. There are just a few of us have been here for the long haul. I appreciate info however it arrives. Marker and GV just came out of no where recently, but they do seem to really be hooked up so far.

I've had no problem with either of those guys and appreciate their posts.

Lol, thanks for the solid parable.

I should have just read the book of Job.

Maybe but that Parable he just wrote was extremely unnecessary.

Edit: Especially for someone saying just let it go. Anyways, I am not mad nor was I ever mad.

I do think it's funny how if you come to the defense of someone you are told to just ignore it. It'll breeze over. Yet it's okay for people to bash others. Lol.
