It's not venom as much as it's passion. And with all due respect, you tend to spend most of your time in the GTs it seems and that's a place for spur of the moment, reactionary posts. I think there's a ton of well-thought out discussion that takes place here and it's why a lot of people stick around. Flame boards are only fun for so long.Originally Posted by Spudboy;408765;
Hell, the post that started this thread was extremely well thought out.
I admire the passion exhibited on the board. That's why I'm here. I agree, Jackson's post was well thought out and he made his points "diplomatically". I have a lot to learn about this process. I recognize that some of the insults are interesting and in a lot of cases good natured. I'm just not accustomed to hearing what I interpret as anger towards others in this type of forum. It gets tedious. You gave me shit one night when I was reluctant to stand behind what I said (I believe I had called J.D. Drew Nancy). I survived and now look forward to your input, as I do others who I don't really agree with sometimes. That's life.
Anyway, I want to continue to have fun. I'll just filter out some of what I perceive as ill will and move on.
There is a lot of love for J.D Drew in this board.

WAR is good for something.
As I remember, that night I did a lot of back peddling. I was new to the thread and used the "Nancy" card unwittingly. I was used to hearing Drew referred to as that and other uncomplimentary things on WEEI.
I actually like Drew as a player. He hits well, is reasonably clutch, and plays a strong right field. I still believe 12.5 million a year is too much for a player of his skills that SEEMS to miss a lot of games.
As an aside, I have not referred to him on this board as Nancy since that night.
A) It was a joke.
B ) He's making 14.5 mill, maiking him the highest paid Sox player.

This thread gets results.
Internet. Serious business.
A.) Oh!
B.) Drew's salary was a big bone of contention that night. We went back and forth. I originally said he was making 15 mil a year (75 mil/5years). I was called on it. So I looked it up. I believe he is making (70mil/5 years).
Hey.
Nothing is more important than the interwebz.
@Spudboy.
70/5=14.
The .5, if i remember correctly, which i'm probably not and will be called out on my FAIL, is due to signing bonus,

I find that it contributes little to the discussion and haven't once found that it really helped prove a point. If you guys enjoy doing it, that's fine, but expect to be called out on it if it is the only substance of your post, or if it is meant to deflect people from paying attention to an otherwise shitty argument.
Board would be boring with only outright stats and formal discussion.
Face it, you are OLD.

His point is that he should bring both, not just the mockery, to the table.
I know.
My point is he does, but it gets lost sometimes inside the jokes, but you'd actually had to be looking past his offensive stance to see it.

This caused inexplicable lulz from me.
wut wut
Good read here. You guys are all delusional and don't get nearly as much results as me or jacko.
so we all realize this board is a cool place to post at and now we're trying to dissect why? we have protagonists, antagonists, funny people, people trying to be funny, informed posters, uninformed posters, people who throw out opitions based on facts and people who throw on opinions based on emotion.........and Dojji
it works, leave it at that
