And remember that he’s the President of Basketball Operations for a (allegedly) Professional Basketball Team?

I’m going to say about 4 months.

He realizes he's in too bad of an emotional state to function and cedes his job to Danny Ferry. Calling it now.

I expect the Senior Bowl to take priority this week. But by next Monday, January 28th, the Pels should be the priority for the next month (until the scouting combine)

I think the Pels will already be virtually eliminated by Feb 4th, and they should treat the trade deadline as such.

There’s a difference between what you would expect an (allegedly) professional organization to do and what this organization does.

No need to tell me. I have been preaching this for years. While everyone else was starting Fire Gentry and Fire Dell threads, I was the person telling you all that wouldn't matter because the disfunction goes higher than that.

I am glad we are finally here -- where everybody is now on the same page.

I think it's time for us to reflect back on some past organizational weirdness. Monty predated Demps, in fact he kind of helped Demps get his job. For whatever reason Demps reportedly didn't have the authority to fire Monty, basically they both reported to Loomis. I guess it's not the worst distribution of power considering both were first time HC and GM, but it just makes me wonder if there's any point in having a new POBO before Demps gets fired or would a new POBO be more of a consultant like Ferry rather than the person in charge of basketball with the power to hire and fire people.

I started a Fire Loomis thread and the idea got downvoted to hell

ETA:Nevermind it made a comeback.

The football guy isn’t waking up worried about the NBA today...and if it takes until mid January, then wtf are we doing?

It wasn't over love of Loomis, it's because you came here acting like you're pioneering a new idea and anyone who doesn't agree 100% with you was a Benson apologist, even if they agreed 99%, or maybe even 100% and just didn't feel like discussing it again that day.

There's somebody on the TV board who just started a thread titled "Anyone ever watched king of the hill" talking about this great new show he discovered and he's getting downvoted to hell, but it's not because the board hates King of the Hill. Take that same thread but alter it a bit "King of the Hill now on Hulu, how did I miss this great show" and it gets upvotes instead of downvotes.

Sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it or even when you say it. We've had idiots start up a Fire Everybody thread after a good win and even if people agree in principle, it's just out of place at the time.

Or maybe, just maybe, the Fire Demps and Gentry threads are retarded when they aren’t the problem. I’ll bet the ratio of The Fire threads greatly favor the firing the coach/GM over pobo...& yes there are apologist who say “he’s not involved” or because they are Bensons apologists/diehard Saints fans.

Also, gfy with that attitude.

You just had BY FAR the best poster on this board come and explain something to you that you needed to be explained, and give you some very constructive criticism that could have helped you moving forward to have better dialogues with people.

Your response is what it was to him, and you in essence proved his entire point.

Again, I don’t need anything explained to me about the nature of Hornets/Pels talk, regardless of my register date.

I’ve followed this board & this team long enough to know the apathy around the franchise & where it leads.

If you’re going to chastise me for a Fire loomis thread, for god sakes take that same approach to Gentry/Demps threads.

In essence, don’t son me, sons.

ETA:that’s rich coming from you,btw.

Except given that you clearly misinterpreted the reason you were "downvoted to hell" you clearly do need the nature of this message board explained to you.

I talk that way to idiot posters. I would never talk that way to Tiger, who actually gave you some really good advice. And yes, he is objectively smarter than you. I listen to people smarter than me all the time. It's not a sign of weakness.

I listen to smarter people as well, but it’s TigerDroppings, those are few and far between...Baloo is one of them, SFP has his moments, shel knows basketball. As you state all the time, I’m here to educate.

Like with you, if you were better at communicating, what’s left of BSS could be salvaged...but you’ve always had a bit of temper, so pardon my taking of the salt shaker when Im getting life advice from MM.

There are plenty of posters and lurkers IRL who know me, so I post here to keep them entertained while they work. This is fun, that’s it. Not a backdoor way to salvage a writing career.

I am not asking you to listen to me. Just Tiger. His feedback to you was really good.

Anyway, moving on...
