  • Black tarkenton? ?

    I didn't see any racism in his posts...ever. Then, again....I'm not analyzing every word to see if I can find a shred of possibility that it could be race related.

    Do you remember Fran Tarkenton? He was a very good qb with Minnesota for years. He also scrambled out of the pocket frequently. How is that racist? Whoever Ghoolie was referring to obviously was black and played like Tarkenton.

    Well....that sucks. Whether you agreed with him or not, he definitely added some spice to this board. I didn't see the poll, but I would have voted he stay. I've been here since '95...off and on, and that 90% was most likely the newer posters here. Yeah....he may not have been politically correct all the time, but even when I argued with him I laughed my ass off. 

    I would agree with that. I always appreciate the board villains and the role they play. They spark interest and activity. I’m sure those that track numbers here see an upspike when they post. Sometimes it’s therapeutic to have a sparring partner to let off some steam, and they willingly lend themselves to that end. It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta to do it.

    That was Ghoolie's rationale for being an asshole- that he "livened things up around here". When in reality all he was doing was being a flamebaiting jerk drawing attention to himself.

    I would hardly call racism, idiocy and flamebait posting "spice"./

    Yeah, Joe Thomas sucks. And other BS like Hue was never gonna get fired because he was the right color...   I pointed out his "see I'm always right with my predictions everything about the Browns sucks."  Because we were so bad for so long it was about as difficult as predicting water runs downhill....

    See above regarding Hue...  Our Head Honcho, along with many others took his continual "Black Tarkenton" comments as sort of racist- and it was the straw that finally broke the camel's back and got him sent packing.  Never mentioned a White Tarkenton. Oh, I'm still friends with him on Facebook, and if you ever take a look at his page,  all I'll say is- form your own opinion about the guy who was hiding behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz.....

    You don't have to explain a thing to me....I've already determined where you're coming from.

    Better look in a mirror guy... Those that espouse contrary opinions without backing them up get shown the door around here...

    Nope, I've followed Ghoolie long enough I can tell from a post tor two if he's ghosting (even trying to disguise it) behind an alias....  

    Using my Mod powers, I guarantee you it's not Ghoolie...  Some of his stuff is OK- he just has a major issue with Baker.  Just like London and Taco have with Landry....

    I wonder if there's a way to give Mark moderating power on the Tavern again? 

    I know he's been itching to "modify" some of the game banter at times. I don't blame him.

    I'll follow up on that- IMHO, Mark needs to be upgraded to the level I'm at....

    What makes you think I want more responsibility?   🙂

  • Baking up Turnovers said:

    I'm very disappointed the NFL is reducing the fine against Baker for the lewd gesture. That nonsense has no place in the game and I would have liked to see the NFL come down hard on him as an example to others. 

    This just in...

    Stars get treated differently in this league... and Baker is seen as a future star.

    Let's just hope the preferential treatment extends to the field officiating.

    Welcome back...
