OKC:

Paying a #22 for the privilege of picking a guy that would have been there at #4 anyway is epic-level stupid.

To quote, "A put-down is called a 'face slap'  apparently in certain quarters and seems to mean something to some folks.   I personally like ideas and open thinking. Go figure."

Apparently every kid now should get a bowling trophy.

Father Flanagan supposedly said "There's no such thing as a bad boy."  He didn't say "there's no such thing as a cockamamy idea."

OD - "4 and 22 for 6, 37, and a late 30's-early/mid 40's pick in 2013.

Well, it's really just trading our #22 for two # 2s (one this year/one next year)

OD - "Playing hardball with Washington like that is bound to piss them off

We're not playing hardball with Washington - they get RGIII for the lowest price
imagineable from their end (a #6, a #39, and a second rounder in 2013). You
think Rams will take that deal for the #2 pick? My idea was, we would take that deal...
that #6 this year + #37 + #39 + extra round two next year is better than #4 this year + #22
this year + #37 this year.

OD - "If we get stuck holding the bag"

No. We go forward ONLY if we have obtained Flynn + ONLY if Washington agrees to make the
deal.

-- Dang, I wish I read more posts at a better time. Some of them are so predictable and so amusing. Keep up the good work. I'm flattered that my words are repeated. I stand by them.

 Being mentioned along with SoulDawg shows you've really been noticed, by the way.

"Apparently every kid now should get a bowling trophy."

-- Actually, if things are looked at intelligently, the opposite of that might be seen.  But that does make a really ironic slogan or something. So you have that!

"Father Flanagan supposedly said "There's no such thing as a bad boy." He didn't say "there's no such thing as a cockamamy idea."'

-- It might be wise to think a little more about the context before writing. But whatever. You stay funny. Really.

There's also a statement that "There are no bad dogs, just bad owners". Although I'm a sucker for dogs, I'm not sure that's true either. But how a person or a dog- or an idea- is handled or considered can make a difference.

To hell with calculators and microscopes. Just be yourself.
