How about just apologizing for this stupid post you made. You have to realize how messed up that post was.

I will apologize if he shows me proof that he is a doctor but he never replied back which means I am right that he is a janitor at a hospital

You are such an unbelievable clown.

I almost replied back to Victorious attempting an impression of you, and I gotta tell ya, what I drafted up was incredibly close to the predictable drivel you came back with.

You offer nothing to this board. I confess, I’ve actually come out of ghost status because I’ve become infatuated with your “content.”

Keep it up for as long as you can, you’re like a bad movie that people love to hate.

First of all I don't ever recall him saying he was a doctor. He said he is a medical professional that treats patients. That means not a janitor. Do you think there is something wrong with being a janitor. If you do you're a jerk. If you just met somebody and asked him what he does and he said he's a doctor would you immediately call him a liar and say he's a janitor?
He doesn't have to give you any proof of his occupation and if you don't get that you are being a jerk and there is no hope for you.

Randy please stop digging a hole so deep you can never get out of it. I'm saying this as a person who is concerned for you.

How did you know my occupation is a clown going to birthday parties for kids?

He can be a janitor at a hospital AND be a medical professional with 2 jobs so I could be right and wrong but sure, I can meet someone who would say I am doctor and call him a liar because he does not look like one and he does have to give me proof that he is a medical professional or he is lying to me and everyone on this board, if you just met someone and you ask someone what his occupation is and he says "I am a porn star" are you going to believe him? I doubt it!

On top of that, the GM saw all these QBs better than his current QB go to other teams while he was locked into mediocrity, and instead of moving on when he had the chance, he doubled down and locked in for two more years.

Spielman's job is to put the team into the best position to win. I think he believes he's done that. I don't believe he would put his ego above that if he knew there were better options at any position, much less the most critical position.

At this point, this thread needs to be locked and that goon banned from the site.

The fact he hasn't already is pretty distressing since he went right into personal attacks.

Agreed. The cousins haters tend to think there were all these options out there that we missed out on. Trust me, if the Vikings drafted jordan love, everyone and their mother would be calling Spielman an idiot for making that move and relying on him as a starter. Same song and dance. A lot of guys out there that think they know better than an NFL GM.

Keep digging you might make it to the center of the Earth. When you politely ask a person what they do for a living most people aren't going to lie to you and it is common courtesy to take them at their word. Nobody should have to explain this to you. We gave you your chance to apologize and you didn't take it.

Here is a post for the great members here, which is about 99% of us, who are cool, respectful, thoughtful and add to this board in a positive manner.....
" Everyone here has 3 things, a bellybutton, an A hole, and at least one person (usually a family member or co worker) , who is an absolute jerk of a person whose mission in life is to be a thorn in the side of everyone they come in contact with."
Unfortunately, in the board member that most of the posts have been referring to as of late, we have the latter 2 of those things all rolled up in one.
I know it's easy to say ignore him and don't let his idiotic comments get to you as that is exactly the reaction that people like him crave. But when idiots cross the line it's hard to just let it go.
Here is a little mental excercise that my dad taught me a long time ago that definitely helps you keep your peace of mind when dealing with these types of nuisances in life.
Just close your eyes and clear your mind. Imagine you are in a saddle in a beautiful mountain range. You smell the Ponderosa Pines. You only hear the sound of the birds that inhabit the trees and the rush of the cold clear water from the mountain top melt running down the brook in front of you. You lean down by the brook and taste the ice cold clean water as you drink a cupped handful of water. Then you look into the water. You stare in happiness and awe , and suddenly a warm sky smile appears on your face and you feel a wave a happiness wash over you as you gaze down under the surface of the water, and stare into the eyes of the person ( we know who I am referring to) that we are holding under the water as they realize it's impossible to take a cherished breath of air.
Ahhh... Feel Better???? I Do!!

There are never many options available when it comes to QBs. Speilman needed to sign Cousins when he became available because we had nothing at the position. Since Cousins is a good QB other teams were involved which drove the price up. Our team at that point appeared to be a QB away so Speilman made the move. I give him credit for that. 2018 Cousins first year was a tough season for us starting with Griff having problems. He was our best D player. Our leader. Rhodes also went into the tank and he was a dam good player. So #### happens. The most POed I ever became at Speilman was letting Jones slide by during the draft. IMO this will cost us big time. When a QB is there and they have 1st round talent make the pick. The position is too valuable.

Spielman's job is to put the team in the best position to win a SB. 15+ years and he still hasn't done his job.

How is the guy we took instead of Love doing?

Fixed your quote for you.

The only other team involved with driving up the price was the worst run team in the league. No other team wanted to offer what Rick did.

2018 was indeed a rough year for Cousins. Top 5 RB, top 5 WR duo, and a top 3 scoring defense.

I mean, he had Rhodes out there in a secondary that gave up a league low 15 TDs, 3rd fewest yards and the 4th best passer rating against.

How could any QB ever overcome those kind of obstacles?

How is love doing? If they had so much confidence in him, they had every opportunity this year to dump Rodgers and they didn’t. I mean id honestly say I’d rather have Cousins than a raw QB that threw 20 TDs and 17 ints his last year in college in a pathetic conference

A top 5 RB that wasnt used. A completely new offense for everyone. And a defense that took a step back. And on top of that playing a 1st place schedule. I’ve said before, it wasn’t the cake walk schedule Keenum had in 2017
