cenj Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have no problem with AvgJoe as a poster. AvgJoe isn't a prick, or condescending, nor is he leaving the board for a few months with the intention of getting the mods to delete his old posts so that there is no proof on how wrong he was. I respect that he passes info along for whoever may be interested, and he's taking his lumps. Then again, I never believed his source was even the least bit connected to Manning's inner-mind and I said numerous times over the last week how no one on this board had any idea on what was going on. I find the projected certainty/authority of certain predictions a bit grating, but I'm way more amused by the posters who are genuinely surprised his "source" wasn't right.

reo Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 A lot of "insider sources" were saying it was done when the Titans started contract negotiations. The problem is those sources weren't aware of the fact that he was probably negotiating w/ everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjTitanfan Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm pissed at Ashley Manning's sorority sister's husband's friend. 's uncle's podiatrist's golfing buddy's caddy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reo Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I don't see how hard it is to believe that some people that work for the Titans or are family/friends w/ Titans might have some friends that post on a message board. Doesn't mean you should take what they say as fact (as I never do) but that doesn't mean there aren't ppl here that aren't friends of people affiliated w/ the Titans or Titan players. This world and especially this town is smaller than you might think especially the cliche of people that are seriously interested in any topic ala big enough fans of a football team to post on a message board about it.

Pragidealist Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have no problem with AvgJoe either. It's all you lemmings I find hilarious. Bad thread title then. I could agree with a sentiment that found people who take internet rumors too serioulsy, funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenjami Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Bad thread title then. I could agree with a sentiment that found people who take internet rumors too serioulsy, funny. The second part of the thread title is dead accurate. His sources are a fraud. Whoever told him they were super close with Manning and he would retire was full of shit. As was the person who told him Munchak had lunch with Manning and it was a done deal, etc etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm glad that you put this out here. Please don't let the "he changed his mind at last minute" excuse fly either. I'm not a personal friend of Manning, but I'd lay my nuts on an anvil for busting if he was in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM the type to "change his mind" at the last minute. He may do that on the field, but in the book of life, he's methodical. No audible here lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was the person who told him Munchak had lunch with Manning and it was a done deal, etc etc etc. Somebody should tell him that the phrases "my sources say," "sources tell me," according to a source," aren't synonymous with "I speculate." They aren't interchangeable. I say we string his arse up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I don't even care that he was wrong. It's just a message board and it's fun either way seeing as it starts conversation. Oh, so you think it's ok to just blast rumors and speculation? It's ok to imply credibility to pawn off speculation? That's fun? I realize this is a msg board and many of us are mere hacks, but I take what I say seriously even when I'm making a joke. I would never imply a fact or pass off my opinion as such. That's why we have acronyms like IMO. That's why we have phrases like "a source confirms." These phrases discern how much we hang our hat on what one says. When the lines become blurry...your name and anything you say gets tagged "full of shit." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 It's clear that quite a few people think avgjoe is a good guy, I'm one of them, but that doesn't take away the fact he constantly speaks in absolutes. There is no gray area. He's not just "passing" info along. He's clearly stating what will and will not happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
