Hines is a very good poster

If you like posters that treat us like a bunch of idiots.

1) this is an online message board so try not to take things too seriously.
2) don't say stupid things and he won't treat you like s***.

Hope this helps.

It just gets old having him correct every little thing, especially when he doesn't engage in any type of discussion and is more of a lurker here.

i only treat you like an idiot if you post like one. again...lets replay what's happened:

someone said Rodgers gained 15-20 lbs since the end of the season. that is a lie. he was listed at 191 (i linked to it) and now weighs 196. that isn't 15 or 20 lbs., that is 5 lbs. someone said he gained that in a "matter of weeks". a matter of weeks to me is about 2 or 3 weeks. the civil war was almost 12 weeks ago. so in conclusion, he's gained 5 lbs. in 3 months and after i posted that, some still didn't believe me.

here's why it's super dumb. Jaquizz measured in at 5-5 7/8ths. that's right, he's not even 5-6 in bare feet. do you realize how hard it is to put on 15lbs on a frame that is fully mature on someone who's working out probably 4 hours a day and eating probably 5000 calories just for the NFL combine? did any of you think of that? maybe a few of you but not the idiots who said he gained 20lbs.

Maehl looks pretty good, Sterling Sharpe likes what he brings also.

All the Scam hype sure has slapped them in the face! He has not done very well, much less blown everyone away!

Not surprising that he hasn't lived up to the hype. He's not the most polished QB in the draft, which is fairly weak at the QB spot this year.

Hines is a prick; quit acting surprised when he trolls here. Just ignore him and maybe he'll go away.

Why are people so sensitive? Geez you all sounds like a bunch of women. Hines doesn't have the kindest delivery, so what? Most all of what he posts is right on & well researched. His posts bring a lot more to the board than a lot of your guys do. But hes a big fat meany.

Maehl 2nd in the 20yd shuttle, 1st in the 60yd shuttle and 3 cone drill. In the 3 cone drill he set a 'recent' best time for WRs of 6.42 seconds.


Paea demolishes the combine record for the bench press with 49 reps of #225, old record was 45.

The record is 51...set in 1999.

Agreed. Nobody cares. He's not someone I'd invite to a dinner party because he's really, really blunt (i.e. a douche), but who gives a rat's ass. He's knowledgeable, so get a thicker skin and deal with it.

[buckmarkduck]

Where are you seeing that Phenom? On the NFL.com is says 49 is the record and has a picture of SP. Not calling you a liar just wondering if you have a link?

[L Perry]

Actually that is what I thought also, until Phenom said otherwise. I then looked a little more and at the NFL sight this article says these are benchmarks since 2000, so.....

This http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-performers states 'recent best'

This is out in the nether of the net. "The record for bench press at the NFL combine is 51 reps of 225lbs, set by Justin Ernest, (DT), of Eastern Kentucky in 1999. Justin Ernest is 6 feet 3 inches tall."

[buckmarkduck]

Thanks Perry, that was what I was looking at.

If speaking honestly makes someone a douche, what does it makes someone who cannot handle honesty?

If purposefully misinterpreting a statement makes someone intellectually lazy, are you just not smart enough to be able to see nuance? If not, you're an intellectual sloth for committing the strawman fallacy. Speaking honestly can take a lot of forms, some of which are rude, condescending, etc. Just because a statement is correct does not mean it isn't douchey. It would be honest for me to call a fat person fat, an idiot an idiot, a mentally retarded person a retard. Does the fact that I'm factually accurate mean I'm not a jerk for doing so? Honesty does not entitle anyone, including hines and yourself, to carte blanche for how you choose to speak honestly.
