Spider didn't catch me in anything. I didn't talk about Polite much last year because he is a friggin FB and that was the least of our problems. But he was a bad player last year. Sorry if I didn't mention 10,000 times.
No, you didn't mention him 10,000 times... you mentioned him once, and that one instance was to complain that he wasn't being used enough.
And yes he SUCKED last year. It has NOTHING to do with a preseason game either. Where he pulled that one from I have no idea.
It has to do with you having nothing negative to say about him until one missed conversion in a preseason game. Then suddenly, not only does he suck now, but he has also sucked for some undefined period of time stretching back into the distant past.
And I love how changing ones mind from last year to this year is now called "inconsistency"....first off I didn't change my mind, but if I did, what your not allowed? Players don't get better or worse, so your first thought on them MUST be the thought you have for life about them?
I'm not surprised to see that you are puzzled by the concept of consistency. Let me explain it for you:
If I endorse a player (say, Reggie Bush) today, and after several games of poor play, I decide that I no longer support him, that's fine. That's "changing your mind." But what I cannot do is turn around and claim that Reggie Bush has
always sucked and that I
never wanted him on this team, because that conflicts with my previous statements in the past. That's what "inconsistency" means.
So yes, it's not-at-all
inconsistent for you to change your mind (after, say, one failed preseason conversion) and say that Polite is now useless and needs to be discarded. I mean, I think it's
dumb to completely re-evaluate a player based on one preseason play, but you can change your mind. But don't try to rewrite history and claim that he's sucked for the last year to try to bolster your argument today. You didn't say so then, and you aren't exactly shy about calling out the players you dislike.
