Pick the Bigger A-Hole: Weisbrod or Boras

[Rileydog]

Ok. 2 sagas. 2 A-holes. You be the judge. Who is the bigger gaping, smelly, rancid A-hole?

Please explain your vote and feel free to vent.

Wow, nice topic. This is a mindbender -- I'm going to have to sleep on this one.

It's that they're both such HUGE a-holes ...

[whag00]

Gotta go with Weisbrod. Boras is just being an agent and is playing the "game."

[Rileydog]

i went with weisbrod b/c he was so utterly powerless, but acted like it was his show.

here, boras is in control and is reminding everyone of that every second.

aw hell, this is impossible. they're both huge aholes.

[wrath_of_khan]

Upon further review, I'm going with Weisbrod, too.

Boras, at least, has incentive for being an a-hole -- it makes him more money.

Weisbrod has no excuse.

[Castor27]

I added the both option because... well they both are.

[Rileydog]

no, it's a given that both are aholes. i'm asking for people to choose. i guess people can say they are equal aholes. but i was hoping to make people give some analysis and really choose.

the moderators have passed down the mandate of heaven

:o

[rezdawg]

Weisbrod got the better end of the deal...he should be a cocky punk.

Boras is just an ass.

[MLittle577]

Boras is a lowly agent, in other words, you expect his shrewdness.

Weisbrod is supposed to be a GM, a more respected position in sports, but he did get THREE starters, an all-star point, a capable SG, and a shot blocking presence, for ONE superstar and scrubs. so......

Both suck donkey ballz.

[SA Rocket]

Weisbrod wins hands down. While we, as fans, despise Boras for squeezing every extra penny, whether or not those pennies seem unnecessary overkill, he's an agent who performs his job very well for his boss--the player.

Weisbrod differs because he's responsible for an owner, coaches, players, fans, etc. But what really sets Weisbrod apart is how often he displayed a total lack of class by unnecessarily ragging on TMac, making snide remarks about Rockets and others trying to trade for TMac, etc. He went out of his way to publicly humiliate TMac, CD and others in an all out effort to make himself look smarter than everyone else.

Boras may in fact have an ego to match Weisbrod's, but, for the most part, his public remarks aren't insulting and demeaning the way Weisbrod's are. If Boras is indeed an A hole, then he keeps most of his A hole-ness actions and comments behind closed doors. :D

now that the deadline has passed...i would say boras..b/c we at least got t-mac

Beltran ( I know that's not a choice)

I agree.

[Davidoff]

Well anyone who talks bad about my team should be eaten alive by oprah.... so I would go with Weisbrod :mad: :mad: :mad:

[wrath_of_khan]

Can I change my vote? :mad:

[BrianKagy]

Weisbrod is an asshole. Boras is the DEVIL. Key difference.

[isoman2kx]

BORAS/BELTRAN

changed my vote.

[Uprising]

Well, I seem to have chosen teh correct Ahole. **** Boras and Beltran.....damnit B's.

[rockets-#1]

Beltran!



Boras did what Beltran told him to.

So I voted for Weisass, but if Carlos woulda been an option, he woulda gotten my vote.

[Stack24]

Boran can be called an ass for the way he handles thing but Beltran should be added to the list. he made the desicion not anyone else.

[ROCKETS1972]

This is the Astros fault it wasn't the offer that i am mad about
it was the way the astros played in to boras's trap our gm aloud
boras to make the rules and the astros waited two long
and i would off talked to other free agents all the time and given boras till december 1 if he desided not to resign at the time we could have goten two good free agents for the same money
and be in better shape we played an agents game and lost
a GM has one job that is to make the team better he weaknd the team to keep beltrain we lost kent and miller and got nothing in return we need a new owner or a new gm or both

[rodrick_98]

is anyone still angry at bud adams for taking the oilers, or has all of that anger finally been channeled somewhere else?

[TheRaven]

Boras. Weisbrod's just an idiot... who thinks he's got what it takes to play GM.
Boras played the whole script like the slick, conniving bastard that he is.
