Understanding Tepop

[dolphins4life]

I've never questioned your intelligence or whether you're a fan.  In fact, I respect that you always are reasonable and don't throw insults and instead present facts in debates.

What I wonder is why you seem so negative all the time?  Even in victories, you often choose to focus on bashing Ronnie and Henne.  Granted, sometimes it's justified, but why not focus on the good things when they win?

There is a common cliche' used in behavioral psych, that some people just can't be happy unless they're unhappy. To some folks, being positive is just flat out painful. No idea whether that is the case in this instance or not...I'm a bit far removed for that sort of diagnosis, but it is definitely a possibility.

Very logical question.

What say you, Tepop?

When was the last time the dolphins really blew out an opponent. The way they have been playing the last couple years they haven't had any games where they have played really well.  The first jets game last year they played well and the patriots game the year before (although ronnie got way too much credit in that game)

and the patriots game the year before (although ronnie got way too much credit in that game)

This is a case where I have to think that you have motives.  Didn't Ronnie have like 200 yards and 5 TDs or something absolutely insanely crazy like that?  How can you cite that performance, only to have it be a backhanded compliment towards Brown?

Final score means zero when you win.

Z-E-R-O.

You're grasping at straws at this point.  You don't get style points in this league.

That leads to my next question?

Why do you care whether they blow out an opponent?  Why don't you just care about whether they win or lose?

Here's the thing though. Both played well, but Ronnie accounted for 5 TDs while Ricky didn't account for any. That is why there was no write up. Had Ricky put points on the board you would have heard about it. There is no secret agenda there.

anybody on the team could have scored those touchdowns.  11/74 15/79 7/77 18/79 85/85  those were the drives he scored tds on and his contribution in yards next to how far the team drove. with the exception of the last drive, should he be made an allstar for being the one to get goal line carries?

[Dave Gray]

^^ I think so.

First of all, I reject the "except for the last drive", because it happened.

Even then, rushing for 18 yards in a drive, when you're a time splitting back isn't bad.

actually he rushed for -1 yards that drive and passed for 19. 

[Dave Gray]

Fine...either way.  He still contributed a lot of total yards to his team and scored 5 TDs.

I just think that to find negatives in that performance, you have to be looking pretty hard.

For anyone other than Tepop

Conclusion:

Tepop is a Glass is half empty kind of guy. I agree with Maine on this. Allthough he dumps on the Team alot , he usually provides a reason. On some level you just need to respect that .
