    You have the right not to agree with me. Definitely. And I won't blame you to do so. But you could also discuss it calmly couldn't you? I totally understand those agreements. But my opinion - and I don't blame you not to share it - is that those tweets aren't that clever. BUT as barfo righfully explain me, I may have misunderstood the idea behind the tweets. Maybe, yes. Is it enough to talk about "shit opinions" and "verbal diarrhea"? I don't think so.

    This is one area that this forum could improve tremendously. I was out last night after work and before the draft and had a talk with some ultra liberal woman who was pro Hillary. We had a great discussion about the whys and why nots. Neither of us tried to convince the other was wrong, we just said why we thought the way we did and moved on. It was enlightening.

    Here it's a constant my way or the highway mentality. It's too bad really because there are a lot of differing opinions on things here and it would be fun to have a normal conversation.

    Couldn't agree more. If it was the 20th time i trolled about the same subject I could understand the rude words. But not in this case.

    In fairness to the HCP, it was an asinine comment about a friend that was just fired for no real apparent reason

    Could a mod kindly correct the "agnecy" typo in thread title? It's driving me nuts. Sorry, this is what I do for a living.

    Yes, but it would be nice if they used their RC2 names in quotes as their middle names.

    Unfortunately between my day job, my massive garden (right now all the fruit is ripening and has to be preserved), daily workouts, Pride, and Clinton campaign volunteering my time is pretty limited, Eastoff. Maybe in Winter, when garden is put to bed, elections over...

    Just wanted to point out that Mike Rice's tweets seem to be dead on.

    All his tweets were about free agency not the draft. So of course he is right now (because you can't be wrong on anything that hasn't happened yet).

    Not saying he won't be mostly right but also not sure what you are meaning on how they can be dead on?

    Maybe I'm reading between the lines too much, but he really seemed to be saying not much will happen during the draft - and it didn't. It'll be about FA, which is why that is what he was talking about.

    Cool but if I tweeted (I don't) that is what I would have said too and I don't think I am near the only one. I mean we didn't even have a pick. So we did probably more then most could have expected actually.
