RandolphScott Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well at least you corrected your absolute fucking moronic point before I was able to laugh at it. So are you always this egotistical? Oh, thats right, you make 100K a year and think your better than us, thanks. God forbid you`re wrong on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feefifoefum Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I wish I had the chance to retire from my job. I'm pretty good at what I do, hate it most of the time, but it pays well. If someone were willing to pay me similar, or more money to do something I'd want to do, like sleep all day and eat cold cereal, I'd leave my job in a heartbeat. Damn, Tiki is one lucky son of a gun.

BTW, I did not start the insuts and I am not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe, he doesn`t want to be like Earl Cambell when he is 55 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, that would be worse than retiring, even if doing so only because you have another gig on the backburner. Sticking around for the money, and not the love of the game and winning is really cheating the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give Tiki alot of credit for doing just that, he didn`t cheat the fans. But I`m always wrong, so don`t fucking listen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the TV world did not want him if looking like Earl Campbell at 55 would be ok for another 10 mil in earned cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me next year as the offense goes 3 and out and you get to see Tiki break down our putrid running attack with Kornheiser that you do not feel cheated. Like I said in the begining, if he had a rough year, injuries, less yards, lowers yards/carry(usual sign a RB is breaking down) its easier to say it might be time. Do nt get me wrong, I wish the guy well, I just wish I could do so knowing that its best for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really want him to stick around just to collect his paycheck from the Giants if he really doesn't want to be there? Wouldn't you feel more cheated as a season ticket holder, knowing that you shelled out alot of hard earned money to watch a guy who really isn't "into it", and is just there to put some of YOUR money in his pocket?

I know everyone loves to kiss the almighty ass of Clemens and his decision to pitch for the Stros, but if it were so much about love why did he make what would have amounted to 22 million pro rated over a full year? Lving the game is much easier when the coin is there to be had, in Tikis case leaving the game is easier for the same reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for me to feel cheated, Tiki gave his life for the Giants franchise, would it be great to have him back one or two more years, Fucking A, but life doesn`t always work the way I want it too. I also don`t think the Giants running attack with be putrid, hopefully with a new coach the organization can change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Men in Iraq fighting so that we can have the freedoms we are utilizing now give their lives. Tiki did not give his life. He was a dedicated, hard working player, who got better and better. To equate it to giving his life is a bit of a stretch don't ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell me that when you watch Roger Clemens pitch that he doesn't still do it with the same desire he did it 20 years ago. And if he is sticking around just to make millions, then he's cheating fans too. Tiki is not cheating the fans, he is walking away because he doesn't want to play anymore. Good. Let's get someone in there who is hungry and will give us fans what they deserve, a full fledged effort to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 To equate it to giving his life is a bit of a stretch don't ya think?

Lets not sugar coat it though, if it were not for him being in NY and being so "out there" he would not leave, as guys of his stature and ability do not walk away like he is. 10 million to be on TV allows this decision to be an easy one. And yes no one can question Clemens desires, he earns his money and I guess in life thats what its all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not so much about the Giants as it is being in NY. If he played in Tennesee the last 9 years something tells me is is coming back for another year.

Does it work, hells no, but I try. its all good, Not trying to argue with anyone, its just as a fan I felt mad, like there was no reason to leave. I guess as a guy who has loved sports and always played them and still do I cannot fathom walking away ever, when there is boatloads of cash to be had and I am still good at it. I guess not being set for the rest of my life makes me look at this differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
