    To Everyone- Thank you for the support. It's nice to know that the job I do is appreciated.

    To Fegwu: First, please go back and read the post in question (The one to Pgabriel) I definitely have a smiley after the "Then Quit" comment. Apparently you may be the only one not to realize, that I was joking. If PGabriel or anyone else wants to discuss it further, hit the report post button and lets so it through email, and not derail this topic any further. The BBS members have always been pretty good about policing themselves (which does make my job easier). The last couple of months though, some things seem to have gotten off track. An analogy would be maybe something like this: Say your watching the Astros on TV and they start having a huge inning people reaching base, Ensberg jacks a slam, Wilson K's etc. The whole time it is going on the announcers are talking about the Seattle Supersonics. A lot of the threads in the ACT have been like this recently. A topic gets started on something and it turns into VY vs. RB. My posts were not with me not wanting to do my job, but with my frustration of having to fix the same thing over and over again when many of the posters doing it know better.

    Once again thanks to the support I have gotten. My goal is to keep this forum readable and enjoyable for everyone. If I deleted posts of opinions I disagreed with, it would be a lonely place. But we don't need the "Poo Flinging" of the D&D, either.

    I did point out in my next paragraph that Bush is not gonna be able to do the same sort of things at the pro level he did in college. Neither guy is gonna break as many long runs, but Bush is gonna be able to gain 6-8 yards on a LOT of running plays. Unless Young's arm is better than I think it is Bush>Davis more than Young>Carr.

    And both these guys have a LOOOOONG way to go before they deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with Earl Campbell.

    Listening to the show this morning with Casserly,
    Is Lance Z. always this arrogant and obnoxious?

    Here is an example of taking an Internet BBS way too seriously.

    There's more to life than the keyboard and the screen.

    Chance, where you doing the call screening? Be honest. You let that guy on knowing he would rip into Casserly about VY didn't you. ;)

    I've learned that the majority of this city is ok with the team taking someone other than vince young. That handfull of people who are not, however, yell the loudest. They call 610, they put ads in newspapers, so it appears that houston may be losing a lot of fans, but the main core fanbase is still here, we may lose a few stragglers here and there, but like in life, thats natural selection, the strong fans will survive and only make the fan base better in the long run.

    People were calling in a being rude and disrespectful to Casserly, Lance handled it well IMO. These rude and obnixious people do not represent the core of the Texans fan base. Hang up on em.

    I'm not running the show around here, so no. If Clutch wants to, he can, but not me. The radio has a few more rules than a message board on the internet. Are you saying it is ok for Lance to allow people to call in and attack casserly and be disrespectful towards him?

    You're running the show at 610?

    What are the rules? Other than no cursing on air? People are disrespectful all the time on the radio. If you're not willing to let people say something directly to the person, you shouldn't be willing to let people say the same things about that person when they're not on the air.

    Anyone else think it might be ironic if Bush doesn't pan out and Carr continues to be a bust, that Casserly would have blundered not ONE number 1 pick but two?

    Mind boggling !

    I don't know about ironic, idiotic definitely. the only thing keeping me interested so far is that this is almost like a slow motion train wreck the we are in the process of witnessing

    You can't put the blame on Casserly if Bush doesn't pan out.

    So, since VY will probably not be drafted until pick 6 or 7. Are the GM's of the first 4 or 5 teams that pass on him idiots as well? Or is it just Casserly?
