A Decade of Andy Reid

[paco]

I'll say it again, though... what he says in private is a lot different than the fluff he writes on the site.  There's several of us here who can attest to that.

Its like night and day

"Dave, what do you think of XXXXX"
"He sucks.  He's slow, can't play football"

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

"Dave, what do you think of Tony Hunt?"
"He sucks.  He's slow, can't play football"

Man, I don't doubt thats true. It's hard to believe that anyone can look at that team day in and day out and have the opinions that he puts in print. Myself, I couldn't do it.

[Diomedes]

yeah, right.

[shorebird]

I don't care how close he gets to the team, I couldn't be Lurie's puppet, writing fluff knowing most all of it's bullcrap.

[Rome]

Oh, come on... he gets PAID to accentuate the positive about a professional football team, run a website and produce a monthly magazine.

To suggest that you couldn't do what he does for moral or ethical reasons is absurd.  It's just a farging football team, after all.

Jeff Lurie: "Hey shorebird this is Jeff Lurie, how would you like to come and work for the Eagles?"
shorebird: "Doing what, exactly?"
Jeff Lurie: "PR stuff, you know, interviewing the players and the cheerleaders, writing articles about the team. Getting to cover training camp and the games for free. You can post on the message board as much as you want because it's part of your job description. How does that sound?"
shorebird: "No thanks, Jeff. That goes against my morals"
Jeff Lurie: "Sorry to hear that, do you have havas's number?"
shorebird: "Nope"
Jeff Lurie: "wow, we're in a real bind, nobody wants this job, we might have to scrape the bottom of the barrel and hire this jew kid that goes to Temple"

Banner > Bush

[shorebird]

lol! Really, even if I could write and took the job, I'd get fired real quick, first time I questioned one of Reid's draft picks, or Reid's play calling, or the FO's line of crap they keep feeding the fans about full speed ahead and gold standard.

It's got nothing to do with my morals or ethics.

The Insider/with shorebird

So, I asked Andy Reid about the offense's total ineptitude inside the Red Zone and at the Goaline. He stated that he would have to put his players in a better postition to win. I asked him what better position could you have been in than 1st and goal? No answer
I asked Andy how he felt about L.J. lining up in the wrong position at the goaline, and then screwing up a key block. Shouldn't his players be better prepared to play, and are dumb mistakes like that a direct reflection on the coach? No answer.
I asked Andy why, with two #1 picks in the draft next year, did this teams front office let the Cowboys outbid them for the services of Roy Williams? He said we are fine at the WR position. I asked him with his draft record, does he think that he can make any picks that will be comparable to what he could have had in Williams? No answer.
I asked Mr. Banner, how do you feel about your Gold Standard being the motis operandi of the last place team in the NFC East. Had to duck after that one.
Needless to say, this is my last article as I have recieved my pink slip from the FO.

No, you're just a guy who bets against the teams he's supposed to love.

[ice grillin you]

I want an explanation how you can watch and cheer at the same time when trying to achieve this goal?

It's called hedging your bets. And as a Philly fan I understand it 100% even if I don't condone it. You can make yourself a lot of money betting agaisnt philly and it can be seen as win win. If they win, you paid a little extra money but you're happy they won. If they lose you get some money to ease the frustration. I can't do it, but it isn't that hard to understand.
