"Dean, did you actually READ the Witchvox profile??"
Um, ... I stumbled across it, ... I googled and Witchvox jumped right out at me. No harm, no foul. Someone here asked if you were for real. Curiosity got the best of me.
Carry on, ... I'm out on this discussion. From what I've heard witches can bring some very powerful shit. I don't need that.
Oh, ... McNabb still sucks and if you feel compelled to show us your hooters it's okay.

I'm a good witch...I don't believe in negative magic of any sort...yes, I am for real...
Man, I just read through a couple of the other threads, namely the Raven-Eagles prediction thread - holy heck, you guys are insanely brutal - is it REALLY THAT BAD, my goodness, you could be living in Detroit!! I wonder if other NFL fans are this crazy with hatred...
As for the hooter thing, this isn't the place...as I said though, I have nothing to hide, but that wasn't why I logged on here.
Of course, I guess it's like a chick walking into a sports bar with a mini skirt on, no matter how exciting the game is, guys are gonna turn their heads to get a look, and especially if the home team is getting their butts kicked.

There's a case study that is in play here. Suffice to say that the 'Level has been well versed in the "the black arts" of the web by a few wily types who have shown us the ropes over the years.
I have two things to say & hopefully not be too much of a wet blanket over all of this:
1. I'll take everything here at face value & state the following; I really like the fact that you have come here and stated what you have stated, in full knowledge of the possible outcome. Instead of lashing back, you've decided to play ball a little, and that shows some moxie. This is probably the toughest crowd that you're likely to find anywhere, but you're taking the shots and dishing some back, but in a spirited way. There's a warning on the "door" around here which states that if you post in here, you're fair game. You have accepted that, but with that comes a little responsibility, namely...
2. The first part of the statement..."Football is the focus". As much as a diversion is appreciated, I think it's fair to remind *everyone* of that caveat. You've probably noticed that we don't really have too many rules around here, but one that is pretty much kept is the fact that this forum is for football. It may stray a little from post to post, but I like to think that it usually rights itself before it gets too far off course (especially during the season). Please feel free to post anything you like about any & all topics non-football in the concourse. I'll ask our regs to do the same in this regard. As a matter of fact, I'll start the thread over there as soon as I'm done posting this.
Damn...this does feel like old times. Here I am doing the "mod" thing again.
Carry on.

Acknowledged, understood and agreed.
I can't even believe it went on that long.
I meant no harm, was only trying to play good defense in typical Steeler tradition - if a pass comes my way, I'm not gonna stand here and watch it fly by, I'm gonna reach up, snag it and run it right back at ya!! (They are #1 both against the pass and the run, sorry - I couldn't resist throwing that in!!)
Considering how I just crashed in on your site blind not knowing at all what I was getting into, you all let me express myself pretty much at will. After that initial brutal introductory attack, it's actually been quite entertaining, and I've honestly learned a lot - I knew I'd be challenged with a few shots, and that's okay, I wouldn't have wondered into hostile territory unprepared...
Game suspended due to inclimate weather. We’ll pick it back up where we were before the storm blew it.
I promise, I will play by the rules from now on...now where did that rule book go again??

Dude, I honestly meant no harm. Sorry if I offended you, but the site did say all was "fair game". That is why I felt free to express my opinion about McNabb. I'm sorry the topic strayed, I was only going in the direction I was lead.
Can we call a truce, please?

Listen Elphaba, i just read all the posts inbetween your 1st and now, yeah- thats right, got nuttin goin on here, anyway, seems like most want you to post a pic.
methinks that will never happen, for whatever reason.
just know that mcnabb is appreciated between the lines- more times than not- but the guys got glaring weakness between the ears, in knowing what to say and when, he is not a leader and he's far too pampered/has a victim mentality thats unrivaled in sports today.
its not all rah rah here. its the entire picture.

ELPHABA! The much misunderstood and maligned Wicked Witch of the West! So you know her? I'm impressed! Yes, a outcast and victim of prejudice do to the color of her skin and eccentric ways...a notorious legacy that has tarnished and continues to haunt the reputation of GOOD Witches around the globe to this day!
Well, through education and enlightenment, we are working hard to eradicate such negativity and change the tainted perception of our chosen Path! You are welcome to meet me on the Concourse if you would like to learn more...
As for McNabb, I fear I must concede the point as I realize you all know MUCH MUCH MORE than I do about the big picture of his tenure in Philly. I must say, though, that I believe from the bottom of my heart that if the Eagles would have obtained ANYBODY ELSE with similar skills but minus the attitude of T.O. they would all be wearing perhaps a couple of Super Bowl rings by now...but woulda, shoulda, coulda...
Given the latest fiasco and the vast amount of negativity that has resulted, I fear there is no longer any choice in the matter - McNabb probably needs to just fold his hand, grab what meager chips are remaining and cash out - then be escorted out the back door with an entourage of body guards to make a deal elsewhere.
Am I rambling again? I'm sorry...
As for the photo, I found a TERRIFIC ONE that I promise, I WILL POST on the Concourse just as soon as I find time to work through that tutorial that Fred sent me..

I've been reading through some of the other posted threads, namely the "Predictions against the Ravens" and the "Who do you want to get rid of" - I don't want to post on them, 'cause I don't know nuttin'" and I don't want to be a nuisance.
I just wanted to say that WOW, I am truly getting and education here. I like just reading the stuff, you guys are dedicated to the bone...I wonder if the Steelers have a cool website like this, I never looked...maybe I will just have to check that out...

Are you sure you got this right? I tried to access it and got no where - there was a similarly titled site that brought me directly to the Cleveland Browns Dog Pound Site though...

FYI - they were still re-hashing the tie game fiasco last night on the Jerome Bettis Show - the gist of Bettis' comment was that players don't get a rule book - they are expected to know "X"'s and "O"'s and no one really teaches them the rules of the game - on the other hand he said that yes, McNabb and any other player SHOULD know the rules, and that the league needs to look at this as a problem and address it now that it has been brought to everyone's attention. So, to quote our favorite home town boy "So now they know"!!!

WOW. I am speechless, and you guys should know by now that is a rare phenomenon...I can not even find the words to express how truly humbled I am...
If I promise to only speak when I am spoken to, stay in the kitchen and bring you all cold beers and snacks during the games and always defer to you as possessing a higher power and intellect than I can ever hope to aspire to attain in the Wide World of Philly Football, can I still hang out here sometimes?
Yes, I feel like a dumb not-blond moron in the aftermath of the obvious, but the only thing I have to say is my heart was in the right place...all I want was for the Eagles to be winners just as you all do. You all have my humble apology, so take you licks if it in any way eases your pain to do so.

At this stage of the season you might be in the minority there gaiaphoenix.
I'd prefer they lose out the season.
Time to burn down the house and start from scratch.

I've been watching ESPN since I got home from work today, and I will say one thing, the EAGLES sure to know how to grab the attention of the media ... kind of like a bad rock star image - there is no such thing as bad press?? Man, everywhere you turn, that is all you hear...
Did I hear any of your voices stating your opinion live? Varied responses to the QB question were featured and no one seems to agree except on one point - as bad as McNabb was, most seem to be lying the majority of the blame at Reid's feet which seems to echo the general spirit of the comments posted here.
Even on Pittsburgh radio this A.M. there was the point made that Philly might possess the only fan base with enough power and voice to actually make a difference and influence decision making in the organization...what do you think about that?
On top of that, they were featuring the "T.O. Show" displayed yesterday...I think I'm gonna be ill...for real.

Of course, that was a paraphrase, but I heard it with my own ears this AM, on WDVE - bet you all likely WISH that were true!!!
EEEGAAAAADS!! Even I'm getting weary of hearing the names "Donavan McNabb" and "Andy Ried" - must have heard them mentioned 40 times since I turned on the TV. Do they talk about the EAGLES this much when they are going well, or only when drama and trauma a-bound?

That is a total lie.
The only way the fanbase could change this team would be if everyone canceled their season tickets and everyone else dropped off the waiting list.
That's just not going to happen.

Bear in mind that ESPN has many Philly-based personalities/writers/producers on staff, and NFL Films is nearby. They also know that coverage of the Eagles equals a ratings bonanza, and this confluence of sad events is what they've been dreaming of for a long time.

I'm only reporting what I heard and as I stated, it was only the general gist of the comment...I don't want to give the wrong impression or mislead anyone here...it was a general statement that was basically one person's opinion in characterizing the tenacity, dedication and very vocal voice of the fans in Philly...and not in any way a definitive statement of fact...I think the operative word was "might"...
as for the reports on ESPN, thank you for helping me to gain perspective on the media blitz...I just meant that it seems never-ending this past couple of weeks....they are indeed focusing on the drama and trauma and only doing their job, I suppose.
