Actually, Dead.Ed and I had words early last season and we didn't care for each other for a long time. Remember I called him out for not posting GG threads and called him a good, but not great DC, and he took offense to that?
I only bring his team up a lot as his team beat a number of good and fully boosted/CEQ'ed teams while being a No-No team. That's the only reason I use him as an example, because he is the only one I know that did that.
wth is your problem with what i said? Gerr is self inserting his statement in a demeaning way and is taking away from Eds accomplishment last season by implying that anyone can do it. It just so happened to be Ed. If Pain Nation would of made the run last season > or = to it then I would toot your horn for you also. Are you Gerr's bodyguard?
Mike, you are correct. I think I misinterpreted your reasoning, and should have stayed out of it. I personally did not take that from Gerr's statement, and definitely don't think that was his intent. I do like Gerr however, and it seems he doesn't get any respect for what he's done in Gold. With that being said, I apologize for my douche comment. I'm apparently suffering from "I hate losing" syndrome.
I didn't consider my comment about SAS proving that boosting/CEQ isn't needed as demeaning to Dead.Ed, quite the opposite in fact.
And on the defensive side of the ball, yes, I consider myself as good if not better than Dead.Ed, but not on the offensive side as his system last season was superior to mine.
Originally posted by 89stepside I don't think any of us are questioning Ed's Ability. He's one of, if not the best, owner/coordinators in Gold. I just find SlurpyMike's.....err DirtyMike's need to sing his praises (usually by insulting someone else) at every opportunity a bit sad. I'm sure when he reads my other post he'll be devising ways to indicate that Ed is far superior to me, so to save him the trouble, I'll say it myself now.
I in no way think I am as good, or even close to as good, at running a team as Dead.Ed. I only run the offense, and not all that well. I'll be very lucky to make the playoffs without boosting or custom, and I'll be happy to just stay in Gold.
Hopefully that was enough to satisfy Mikes need to tear me down while giving proper "service - slurp, slurp" to Ed.
Black Sea Buckeye Revolution = an unknown here in Gold, could be very good or could be demoted. Has been impressive so far, but just too much of an unknown to give any credit to...yet.
When reading your predictions, I was initially confused.
I could have swore BSBR was in the West... Then I got to the portion that I quoted and I:
