Does that mean I have to stop telling people that?  I don't want to be the only person that doesn't tell that story.

Tate may be a pussy for crying...but at least he doesn't QUIT during a football game.

By the way I meant to ask what is your stance on crying over a rule change in a fictional pick'em game?

You mean giving an opinion?  Well that depends on if your opinion was asked for.  If it was than I think it's okay to go ahead and give it.  If you associate "disagreeing" with "crying" than I'm sure this didn't answer your question.

These guys didn't cry....

Two scenarios.  Harboring two totally different emotions.  In this case the two different emotions presented the same reaction.  Crying.  If you're asking me if there's a difference in the two situations the answer is an obvious yes. 

Here's a question for you.  Say your buddy cries because you and him are watching a scary movie.  He cried from fear.  Now say your buddy cries because he's watching the birth of his daughter.  He cried from happiness.  What is your reaction to the two situations?  Are they the same?  Of course not, but both cried didn't they?  The two different situations merited one of them a reasonable or acceptable time to cry and one of them an embarrassing time to cry. 

Flip it up...

My buddy cries cause his baby is being born... I'm like, "shit dude, it's a damn baby.  It smells funny, will leach hundreds of thousands of dollars off you before you die, and your wife is the one going through all the pain... wtf is wrong with you?"

But it's not a scary movie that makes my other friend cry... it's the fact that he's worked 12 hours days 4 years in a row towards a promotion, and doesn't get it.  That's what makes tears come.  Fuck no I'm not going to bash on him for letting a few tears fall when he gets the news.  Being emotionally dedicated to something then have it fall to shambles?  Yeah, I'll turn the other way while you drop a few salty wet ones.

OK, so I wouldn't be like that to a friend having a kid.  But the fact is, I'm not making fun of Ingram because he cried... I'm making fun of the bammers that think there's a huge difference.  Extreme emotion... sadness, happiness... whatever it is, the fact is that EXTREME emotion causes tears. 

They're all "crybaby, crybaby, crybaby." Then when one of their guys cries on national TV.... "oh, it's different."

Atleast you get it

Atleast you get it

At least you get it???  You know he's an Auburn fan right?  Maybe I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure he's an Auburn fan.  That's like Bush looking at Chaney after announcing we're not leaving Iraq and saying "atleast you get it."  (for the record the analogy just given is basically interchangeable with Obama looking at Biden... take your pick depending on your affiliation.)

Back to your comment.  It was the greatest post of this thread.

You know how I know you're gay? 

You put a tremendous amount of time and effort discussing men crying.

All of you.

The only reason I ever said anything about Tate boo-hooing was because of his smack talk. When you lay on that type of smack talk, get ready for whats coming to you. Had he not talked shit? I never would have said one word. I said it then, and I'm sticking to it now. Whether thats why my fellow fans are making fun of Ben Tate, I don't really know. Its sort of like some are with Vagisil. He talks an enormous amount of shit. Some real life shit happens, and more than likely, you guys aren't going to give a shit. Same deal with me. Its not that you are so much laughing at somebody's misfortune; you're just laughing at them getting theirs.

Yeah.  Mountains of smack talk.  Asked who he thought was the best and he said he was.  Know what?  He might be right.  Different teams, different situations.  Their numbers weren't really dissimilar. 

Stupid douches.  All of you bama pole-puffers.

Where's his hardware?

[boartitz]

Bear recruits from the grave. Ain't some of his ashes on the field there? Ncaa infraction for having too many coaches.

Every single coach in the SEC thinks Ingram is the better back. He was a unanimous first team All-SEC pick. I will trust their evaluation over yours, or Ben Tate's any day. Apparently, they don't think he is in the top 4 of SEC backs, as they picked two first teamers and two second teamers; Tate was not listed. Is Tate a good back? Certainly. But not the best back in the state. He said himself that if you asked teams in the SEC who is the best back in the state, he thinks it would be him. Looking at the All-SEC selections, which are voted on by coaches in the SEC, I would say his comment is a resounding fail.

You flip the two and put Tate where Ingram is and vice versa?  Team results would be about the same. 

Ingram is no better than Tate (or about six other backs in the SEC).   The situation made him, he didn't make the situation.
