|Lucid| Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Fair enough. Pointedly, that was classless by Go. If he had done it from his private twitter, that's one thing. To do it from an account associated with this community is a whole other thing. It deserves an apology. I've said my peace now. Thanks for all you and USN and the others do. I happen to agree with you. I don't think it was appropriate for Go to link this community to his action. I could be wrong, but I would be willing to bet he didn't think about that when he was doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Numbers| Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Are you seriously calling me a "Go minion"? Really? I have been harder on him than almost anybody on here since the Bratkowski Fiasco.. I recently asked him to remove the Dumbo Dalton shit from his sig and he agreed to do so. "Sanctioned Andy Dalton Bashing"? WTH? Almost all of the new mods were fairly firmly entrenched in the "Dalton Defender" camp.. You should know where I stand on that subject, I have made it very well known. Nothing surprised me more when Go asked me to become a mod. I was sure I had placed myself firmly outside that realm of possibility with the things I had said to him over the past couple years.. But he did, and to be honest, I have been pleased with how he has approached things lately. I am just as unhappy about the linking of our community to what I see as a rude and inappropriate action towards our QB as you are. The thing is, you can engage in a dialogue to let people know how you feel without throwing a fit and stooping to slinging personal insults around. If your content was edited it has nothing to do with "protecting Go" and everything to do with you acting inappropriately and outside the scope of acceptable behavior as outlined by the site posting rules stickied to the top of this forum. Nicely said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USN Bengal Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Membengal, you're a valued poster here... as is everyone. I would never compromise my ethics, values, or morals to "protect" anyone my friend. I think more posters on this board disagree with what he did, joke or not, than agree. Those of us who are mods are constantly checking with each other when ANY action is even thought about being taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Dude. Once again. LOL. Its his fucking website. He quite literally can post whatever the fuck he wants here as long as it isn't illegal. I don't think what he's done is really enough for us to keep going over it over and over again like he kicked a child and is winding up for another go around. I am sure dalton checks every tweet toward him daily. Like all pro athletes do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 While I agree that go shouldn't have tweeted it, I think people are taking things too seriously here. Andy Dalton doesn't know what go-bengals is and couldn't care less about dudes who post on a message board under goofy names. It's not like go has tarnished e honor of you personally. Your name is numbers or Michaelweston or membengal on an internet message board. AndyDalton is going to go home to his beautiful wife in his big house and watch his tiny kid do funny stuff all night until he passes out studying his play book. He's worried about wins, babies and contracts. This is nothing to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some really thick skin, but if I went in to my job on Monday morning and saw a banner that said some shit about people hating me it would make me feel bad. If you like Andy or if you don't, that is your opinion and I respect that, but don't shit on the quarterback of our favorite team. This guy has done nothing but brought this team back from the gutter, three straight playoff trips in a row. And he only tries to get better. I wouldn't trade this guy for anyone, not manning not Brady. No one. He is our guy and I stand behind him. That is all for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people get tired of what he does on his site, which he has every right to do, he may be doing it by himself or with one or two loyal friends.

|Bunghole| Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Seriously. Defending Andy by trying to shit on AJ Green, one of the greatest things to happen to this franchise in years. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, young man. People used to say the same thing about Chad. Until he was no longer "the greatest thing to happen to this franchise in years". Just sayin'.

|Bunghole| Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Jesus Christ, I hope not. I am not Dalton's biggest fan either but I would NEVER root against him while he is in our uniform. That would be stupid, especially in light of the lack of other options. The worst part of this IMO is the indication of how the season is going to play out, with media and a large number of "fans" salivating at the thought of Dalton throwing his first INT of the year. I used to think there were a lot of people who expected the team to fail, but now I suspect that it's not only expectation but desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 So was everyone okay with Ray Lewis "coming to work" in our stadium with a spray-painted bedsheet proclaiming "RAY LEWIS IS A MURDERER" for everyone to see hanging over the Lot D railing, or was that okay because the court of public opinion deemed him guilty? Or because he played for a hated rival? When it was of course, a twisted joke. Is that okay, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnickyCat Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 What Go did was the twitter equivalent of tossing trash on Dalton's lawn.After reading through this thread this about sums it up for me. With that being said and with Go being a Palmer-defender so to speak, to me that makes it all the more odd that he thought that was cool to do. Idk just my opinion but didn't see the sense in tweeting it to Dalton's twitter with 'the truth' crap attached. If you feel that way post it on your personal page or share it with your friends or crap, even post about it here if you must. But ya, doing it that way was really not much different than the trash on the lawn CP got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B. Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm sure Andy's going to cry himself to sleep on his soon to be bed of money. Cmon guys. I highly doubt he saw that tweet directed to him amidst all the other shitty tweets directed to him. Blowing this way out of fucking proportion. I just signed up for twitter yesterday. Or the day before. I'm gonna tweet something mean to him and see if he gives me a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he come in this season with a chip eon his shoulder. Maybe needing to prove something. I think that Hue will breathe some new life in to this offense. I for one was not satisfied with Gruden's pass happy offense. We are in the toughest division in the league. We have to run the ball well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 At the end of the day, we all want Dalton to perform well. Poop on whomever (BAB, looking in your direction) that says that the supposed "meme" of "well, the team didn't play well!" isn't true, because it is absolutely true. Whether it's Marvin's or Gruden's fault, whatever, don't care, we got away from what got us there in the first place (strong defense, strong running game, surprise passing attack).
