Love it, or Shove It

[Mr. Make-Believe]

1.  Freddie Kitchens is extremely mad at OBJ for missing so much OTA time.

Shove it. No one cares.

2. Duke Johnson will be traded before the start of the season.

Love it. Hilliard can fill space until Hunt can play and I'd prefer the asset to a guy who doesn't want to be here.

3. Baker Mayfield will win the NFL MVP award.

Shove it. Sophomore season. Give him a year or two.

4. The Steelers will win the AFCN and be challengers to win the Super Bowl.

Hahaha... Shove it. Team couldn't make the playoffs last year and won't be better this season. Go ahead and sleep on this loser team.

5.  Leveon Bell will come back to win the NFL rushing title.

Shove it. Won't make it through half the year without getting hurt.

6. Terrelle Pryor will prove to be a bust playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Love it. He's useless.

7. The NFL  will go to an 18 game season in the next few years.

Shove it. Not gonna happen.

8. The NBA and NHL playoffs extending until Mid June is fucking absurd.

Love it. Good lord is it ridiculous to see hockey ending in the summer. These seasons last too long.

9. Though they failed to make the playoffs, the Lakers deserve all the media attention they are getting.

Love it. They have the biggest superstar of this era and rumours galore. Don't care for them but they will be interesting to keep an eye on.

10. You are happy that the Jeopardy guy, James Holzhauer lost and came just short of matching Ken Jennings all time money winning record.

Shove it. Can't feel emotionally one way or the other about something you've just made me aware of and that I don't care about.

Bonus.  It is true what Vagitron says...he is an extremely well liked contributor to this forum.

Vagitron? Hahaha... Shove it. His ridiculous takes are funny to rip into though.

Here are 10 statements.   Tell whether for each one if you Love It, or Shove It:

1.  Freddie Kitchens is extremely mad at OBJ for missing so much OTA time. NO

2. Duke Johnson will be traded before the start of the season   NO, BUT AT THE TRADE DEADLINE

3. Baker Mayfield will win the NFL MVP award. SLIGHT CHANCE

4. The Steelers will win the AFCN and be challengers to win the Super Bowl.   NO WAY

5.  Leveon Bell will come back to win the NFL rushing title. UNLIKLEY

6. Terrelle Pryor will prove to be a bust playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars   PROBABLE

7. The NFL  will go to an 18 game season in the next few years. I HOPE NOT, COULD HAPPEN

8. The NBA and NHL playoffs extending until Mid June is fucking absurd. NO MORE ABSURD THAN A 162 GAME BASEBALL SEASON, WITH PLAYOFF GAMES IN THE 30S

9. Though they failed to make the playoffs, the Lakers deserve all the media attention they are getting. NOPE

10. You are happy that the Jeopardy guy, James Holzhauer lost and came just short of matching Ken Jennings all time money winning record. RECORDS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN, DON'T WATCH JEOPARDY MUCH

[The Gipper]

Here are 10 statements.   Tell whether for each one if you Love It, or Shove It:

My own answers: 

1.  Freddie Kitchens is extremely mad at OBJ for missing so much OTA time.

Shove it big time.  Yes, he would have liked to have had him here, but no,  FK understands the rules of the league.

2. Duke Johnson will be traded before the start of the season

I shove the idea of it having to happen because Duke can be a real asset to this team.  But, yes, it could happen despite my protests.

3. Baker Mayfield will win the NFL MVP award.

I love the proposition that it could happen.  So, there IS a chance.

4. The Steelers will win the AFCN and be challengers to win the Super Bowl.

Shove it big time.  The Browns got better, the Ravens won last year, and the Steelers lost several critical components. They may challenge of course for the AFC title, but I don't think they win...and they are not in the picture for the SB

5.  Leveon Bell will come back to win the NFL rushing title.

Shove it.  He will just be OK....but there will be likely a dozen others who outgain him in the league.

6. Terrelle Pryor will prove to be a bust playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars

Shove it.  While he won't be a breakout star, he won't be a complete bust, and will contribute some to the Jags passing game.

7. The NFL  will go to an 18 game season in the next few years.

I shove that it should/could/would happen,   and I can't say that I love that it may happen...but I think it will happen...because it will bring in more $$$$...and isn't that what the NFL is all about, how to make more money?

8. The NBA and NHL playoffs extending until Mid June is fucking absurd.

I love it.  The playoffs in these sports used to be best 2 out of 3 for the first round, then best 3 out of 5, and only the Finals were best of 7.  Now they have to have  all rounds be best of 7...again, just for $$$$.   I think they should end early to mid May.

9. Though they failed to make the playoffs, the Lakers deserve all the media attention they are getting.

Shove it.  Fuck them. They are an absolute joke of a franchise with only dysfunction being anything about them worth talking about except:  where should LeBron demand a trade to.  This league does just fine without the Lakers, Knicks or Celtics or Bulls being worth a shit.  I would love that teams like Toronto and Milwaukee get attention instead of having the media sniff the butt cracks of these has been teams.

10. You are happy that the Jeopardy guy, James Holzhauer lost and came just short of matching Ken Jennings all time money winning record.

Shove it.  I would like to have seen him beat the money record....if not the winning streak record.   Records are made to be broken.  But..he did get whipped fair and square, and I can see this woman who beat him going on an extended win streak herself.  She is very good. (and obviously I am a big Jeopardy fan)

Bonus.  It is true what Vagitron says...he is an extremely well liked contributor to this forum.

Shove it.  His only real value here is that he is a fly to be tortured by our sadistic minds...and as a reminder how sychophantic and deluded Steeler fans can be.  Though, maybe he makes good hot dogs.  Doesn't he like run a hot dog stand in Delaware OH.?  Catering to the Ohio Wesleyan student?

Shove it - He knew the deal before ota's. Preferred him to be there, but not "extremely mad".....or surprised

2. Duke Johnson will be traded before the start of the season

Love it - Assuming the Browns find a buyer. Dont think Dorsey will let him go for nothing....unless he becomes a problem child

Shove it - anything is possible, but Im not gonna predict Baker to be the best player in the league in only his 2nd year

4. The Steelers will win the AFCN and be challengers to win the Super Bowl.

Shove it - their reign has ended

5.  Leveon Bell will come back to win the NFL rushing title.

Shove it - he doesnt have the mentality to be the best

Love it - 9 years in the league, with no notable accomplishments, pretty much has sealed the deal.....already

7. The NFL  will go to an 18 game season in the next few years.

Love it - personally, I cant get enough.....

8. The NBA and NHL playoffs extending until Mid June is fucking absurd.

Shove it - really dont care. Not a hockey watcher.....

9. Though they failed to make the playoffs, the Lakers deserve all the media attention they are getting.

Love it - not sure they "deserve" it?......but understand it.....Lakers & Lebron = news & attention

My assigned job on here is to hammer the heads of Steeler fans and to put my foot on their necks.  Would you like to take over that assignment?  Or would you rather that their stupidity be ignored, their delusions go uncontested, their arrogance be accepted without challenge?

Does this assigned job come with a job title? 401k? Stock options?

Yes......it's what is needed for them to go away......well fed trolls tend to got a LOT more opportunities and LOVE a good fight.....

So your "self pronounced assignment" is actually what keeps them around......( at least from my perspective).....no worries tho, I read none of it, so keep up the good work!

What makes you think it is self pronounced?

Since the mods always seem to close the threads your little debates regularly ruin, I would find it hard to believe they actual asked you to lead trolls on for days on end.....just dont see it....

But, just like those debates, I dont really care if your self pronounced or not. 

Mods....if he's your hench man, here is your chance to say it......

Nope, Gip just likes to prove he's right (even if he's only partly right, or not willing to accept a different POV).... I'll get in debates with Vag myself, partly because I find it's amusing to poke fun at the Mega Steeler Homer. 

I just have the sense to shut things down when the conversation is going nowhere....

By that statement I take it that you agree that I almost universally prove that I am  right...when it comes to facts .  (but think you are wrong about "point of view" i.e. opinion) I think I always "accept" the opinion of others...but acceptance does not mean that I have to agree with others on matters of opinion.  I can accept and still vehemently disagree. 

Just as an example:  Take the proposition that Michael Jordan is the GOAT.  I accept that a lot of people think that way....its just that I do not....and I have made a lot of logical arguments as to why that is not the case.

You see:  advocacy IS my profession.  Maybe you all see my advocacy as intransigence.  It isn't. Its just that I am good at it, even if I am not phlegmatic about it.

But another part of my profession is as an adjudicator. It is also my job to take the arguments on two sides...and to come up with a judgment on which prevails.  There is not necessarily a lot of that that I do here, because it is not asked of me. So much more that goes on here is on the advocacy side.

. I'll get in debates with Vag myself, partly because I find it's amusing to poke fun at the Mega Steeler Homer. 

I just have the sense to shut things down when the conversation is going nowhere....  

That is fair....I guess, noting that as a moderator  YOU  are put in the position as intercessor in these little affairs

By the way...did you see my PMs?

[The Gipper]

. I'll get in debates with Vag myself, partly because I find it's amusing to poke fun at the Mega Steeler Homer.

And that is all that I am doing, albeit, perhaps I go a little more overboard than others. I guess perhaps I am just a bit less willing to let his inanities pass unchallenged.But...Maybe I should lighten up on him.  After all, "stupid" is not a purposeful condition on his part, it is an inherent one over which he likely has little control.
