eightlaces Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hey, weren't you the long time (and current?) Callahan apologist? I feel he was never given a fair shake as he was seen as an outsider by much of the fan base and he did himself no favors by trying to cram a square peg into a round hole immediately with his offense. However, his recruiting was excellent and set up for one of the best I've ever seen in the 2009 squad. Overall, he wasn't a good fit for the program and he's found a great spot as an NFL offensive line coach. 2 Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 ''One thing youll love about him is his ability to cradle the football like a newborn baby just smacked on its rear." What does that even mean?!? That's a good one. I have 3 kids and none of them have been smacked on the rear. These are also good: "It’s like cooking a turkey for every Thanksgiving and then serving up savory prime rib or seeing a peacock working a power drill." "This dynamic duo has the potential to take a comically oversized mallet to them like something straight out of Looney Tunes." My thought in response to this article: It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. the baby smacked on rear comment is about a new born and how they were smacked on the rear to get them breathing. it's no longer a practice they use as there are other methods. might not be the best metaphor but is an interesting one.

He also had about half as many top 3 rounders drafted as what he inherited. If you're still gripping those myths, that's quite revealing. Quote Link to comment

Interesting in that it is wrong on all accounts? Not sure I want any players holding the ball like a newborn baby, especially one that's just been abused. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 This thread is a perfect example of why Dirk, Sam, Sipple, et al, don't make accounts *and post publicly as themselves* on message boards. EDIT - added the words between the asterisks 4 Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The ones bitching about the write up are the same ones that have bitched all season. For me, I like it when they post and share things. It is usually from a different perspective and it is nice to read, whether I agree about it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have had my doubts about Gerry this year and some have had similar thoughts. I have also said that he has played great the last couple games. My issue is we have a guy join the board and share something he wrote and people start throwing sh#t at him because he shared his thoughts. 3 Quote Link to comment
