|kennethmw| Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Carson quit on his teammates. I will never root for him again, and you can look at my old posts, I was a staunch Palmer supporter thru everything. But you just can't quit on your team. Don't hate him, just don't respect him. You can not say you're a leader of men, and then desert those same men. For those of you that don't see it that way, fine, I do. My favorite team this week will be the Chiefs!!

Phatcat Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have no ill will in retrospect with Carson. He was right in saying both the Bengals and he could benefit with him moving on. He is definitely correct on that point. In terms of rooting for or against Carson, I would normally care less. But given his performance will directly impact the Bengals I will pay attention. Hopefully he sucks this year and is great next while losing to the Bengals in the AFCCG...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 [quote name='oldschooler' timestamp='1319111502' post='1049015'] So you’ll need DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket to see the game. [/quote] ..or a halfway decent internet connection. They need to figure out what the major music labels finally learned; their distribution model is obsolete. They can't enforce the blackout rules and Sunday Ticket, while still subject to them, is overpriced. The viewers want to see this game, yet the NFL and CBS can't get it done and therefore will lose ratings. If I'm Les Vann or this unnamed "CBS executive" I'd be taking a hard look at how I'm going to keep my business relevant in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I'm just saying as a fellow poster, not a mod, I wish people would stop being dicks to each other. I know it's never going to happen, but I can hope.

If your statement was true, everyone should feel indifferent to Palmer, not this scorned lover hate that riddles this forum. [/quote] ...and the ONLY reason people care that he quit on his teammates is because of the emotional investment they have in this team and this franchise. That emotional investment doesn't exist toward your business or company from the general public or to anyone outside the enterprise, really. Do you think anyone on this board gives a shit that some lacrosse player at some small, obscure college in Rhode Island quits on his teammates? Does anyone outside of P&G care that an upper manager walks out and leaves his department in a bind? No. They only care in this situation because he was spitting on the franchise that so many here have a lifelong emotional investment in. With all due respect, yours is the dumb analogy.
