Yaters Gonna Yate.
*steps up to podium*

Okay, well, uh... let's see here...

I'll tell you what we did pretty damn good today. We had some issues with some bad merging here and there, and that really hurt us there for a while, but once we got through that things looked good. I'm gonna take a look at the kid who caused the merge later on, but uh... we did have a few issues there in the 4th as well. We're obviously going to need some more preparation for the next matchup in a couple weeks and uh, hope we can get things going better during the bye. Things are looking good outside of that early turbulence, I've been really impressed with these kids yesterday.

Any questions? :)
 
Brakos - what do you think about the six thousand Larry Johnson threads that started today? Are you going to be suspending or fining anyone for repeatedly starting new LJ threads when there are already clearly several threads already started?

That's a good question Chris... uh... that's definitely something I'm going to need to talk to Khari about shortly, but yes, it does seem a bit obnoxious at this point.

Yes, you in the corner there?
 
Brakos, now that the Titans have won two in a row with Young as the handoff person (I can't bring myself to call him a QB) his minions have started creeping back out of their hiding places and making noise again. Is there anything you can do to stop this before it becomes insufferable? And more along the gameplan front, what will we have to do to stop the Titans' real threat, Chris Johnson?
:)
 
/channeling John McClain and interrupting the person in the corner

Brakos - one more - there's been a lot of talk about releasing slatonisabeast. Obviously he's just a rookie and has room to grow, but do you think his potential outweighs the problems he's had to this point?
 
Do you wish you had Vinny in the lineup now that we see what he's doing on the 49er's board?
 
Brakos......

I've noticed your gameday threads start off kind of slow, and then pick up in the later pages, will you change your threadplan to try and get this problem resolved?
 
Brakos, do you think you should have hurried the mods and created another thread quickly before threeputtsam had time to regroup and say the Texans are losers again?

Well from the last time we've played our defense has really started coming together, and we've been keeping an eye on Tennessee for a while now. They probably weren't as bad as their 0-6 record showed, and right now they're making up for that. Chris is one hell of a kid, and that's going to be our number one defensive priority going into the bye.

Well I'll you what Chris, I think this kid's got a lot of potential, but he's been having quite a few fumbling problems with his posting. I think he's gonna be good, but we're gonna be working with him on Wednesday, hopefully we can get somewhere. I don't think we'll be looking at cuts until the off-season though.

He's been doing good over there for San Francisco, and obviously I wish we had 22 pro-bowlers on this team, but we win some, we lose some. The way that board's looking though, he's a real good fit over there.

That has been a real problem so far getting things started early on. I think we'll have a much better shot next week considering we're not up against a great team like Indy. We might also need to get started well before the game starts next week as well.

Um... well... at the beginning things just looked like a bit of overreaction from him, but the way things have panned out since we do need to look over his posts and take critical action if we decide to do so.

So that's what you liked about yesterdays thread, and the other stuff is filed away somewhere else? :shades: :thinking:
 
Brakos at the half way point of the season would you say that Porky is your most valuable poster and will you try to sign him to a long term extension in the offseason or would you risk letting him become a posting free agent and sign with another board and risk him coming back and talking smack next year?
 
What happen to your game time thread winning streak? And, what would you do different next time to prevent from L?

I feel like I should contribute to this thread but as I've been on the practice squad since 2004 I feel I'm still not prepared :)

are you talking negative rep or a simple /ignore?

Well we're definitely going to take a look at re-signings at the start of the off-season, hopefully in February. I wouldn't call anybody an MVP of the team, but we've had our stand-outs this season.

Well our biggest issue was early on around 11 or so when we had that merge-up with one of Brandon's threads, and that caused some havoc in our gameplan.

Yeah, we've been waiting for our practice squad guys to really spark up here lately, and we've had a couple move up into the main line-up. Hopefully you can make it up here.

We'll figure that out once we get there, but like I said, only if we decide to do so.
 
one last follow-up to the Vinny question: What sort of compensation did we get from the SF boards in exchange for such an All-Pro talent? Two draft picks? Several terabytes of server space? A sizable contribution to the TT msg board fund? perhaps several DVDs full of new BotD picts? :D
 
Brakos if you could pick a nickname for the trifecta of current Texans RB's what would it be?
 
Brakos,
We're gonna throw a playoffs party in my backyard. There's gonna be girls at our party, do you think we should talk to them about the playoffs?
 
Should we discontinue a manned space presence and go with more robotic craft? And speaking of our offense line, are we going to draft a Center next year?

I thought the end of this was gonna be "are we living the high life?"

Clearly I hear too many commercials.
