Amen, Iowa.
This goes on a lot, usually in the slowest time of the year. Most of us end up ignoring a majority of these posts. You're very right though, a lot of cheap shots are taken, and a lot of responses go overboard. I think there's a little bit of fault on both sides, but things are definitely out of line with rational discussion or even good spirited argument.

This is pure BS. The whole fiasco started with negative observations made about a 1st round pick who certainly looks like a bust. Just because we have a family member looking in doesn't mean any of us can't make comments about players on the Titans. Woolfolk would get bashed if his uncle was here or not. To be honest if this was another teams board Uncle would have been beaten so bad by now he wouldn't dare to post. This board is civil compared to many of the boards I've seen.
Remember, it is the uncle who has flamed the fire. Most all the comments on both sides have made have been in good taste. Giving a sermon on how this thread or others on the same topic are about a couple of guys riling up another is ridiculous. All uncle has to do is refrain from fanning the flames. Read his posts. He brings it on himself. To make matters worse is that Andre is doing nothing out on the field to supress the negativity. I can't speak for everyone but certainly I do not want Woolfolk to suck so I can bash him some more. I think we all want him to become what the Titans drafted him for. To be a solid starting CB in this league. It is Andre's responsibility to go out and earn his spot not his uncles to try to prove something with endless arguments. His playing time will speak for itself and it has. Uncle will just have to face up to the reality of his nephew being a ST player and a backup until he proves otherwise.
Boy I'm glad Eddie Berlin's uncle wasn't dumb enough to respond to some of our posts about him.
Come on, Soxcat. Do you really blame it entirely on WU? I'll agree, he brings some of it on himself, and he over-reacts quite often to criticism. But things really get out of hand when some of us are the ones making the cheap shots that aren't decent criticism, but are clearly just thrown out there to upset him.

Even worse, imagine if Eddie George's relatives were around trying to defend George's sucky play at the end. I guess there were enough homers for that.
Well said IOWA.:applause:
This shouldn't be allowed to take place outside the Smack Forum.
It's sickening, and not what people come to the main forum to see.

So The Tennessean and the AP are now printing and reporting smack??? Or are you saying that WU's responses to Titans fans commenting on those reports is smack?Hoffa said:
Brian, you are arguing a losing battle here. No one agrees with you.
Accept it and move on.
Accept it and move on.
About what? That Andre's Uncle can't control himself? That in October of 2004 I recognized that Andre Woolfolk was a terrible DB and continue to open peoples eyes to that fact? Sorry if it bothers you so much that I'm right.Gunny said:

You can say Andre is a bust. There is no reason to knowingly inflame a relative.

No, that all you do is come here to bait WU.
It's sad and pathetic.
We know your stand on Woolfolk and as someone said before no one comes here to read the enraging comments you make to WU.
Soxcat said:
Ok, you don't know much about me... I am moderate on this board, believe me.... You are not part of SR so you don't know my capabilities. I happen to like the Titans and most of the people on this board. Those that I can't stand know who they are.... Oh, I apologize, do you fit that mold... .I know you really don't care and I don't either. The only reason you are still yapping so flagrantly is I have more limits on this board. I have never been ran off any other board.... I have been banned for life from a couple of boards and trust me I was shutting them down.... Broken Record knows, BP really knows, Gut and a few others that are sharp enough to smack on other boards know. It just so happens that this thread is not in a smack thread. Any SR members that have viewed my true battles..... You see this thing on this board is a personal battle and I will defend my blood to the death if it is a real fight and in this virtual world to the banning. I really don't want to be banned from any Titans boards or I would be gone already forever and until the posts get deleted people would get a good laugh off of you and your trio guaranteed. A little clue, whenever you see the little atomic explosions, I am about to bust you up virtually, like I did yesterday.... Of course you'll say something like.... When or how or why.... Ha, when or how or why.... ha ha, Lets just say what was isn't ...... don't want to violate the rules right now. Ok, ENOUGH!!!!! I appreciate all those that weighed in explaining how some family types make strong stands for each other. Maybe you and your trio don't roll like that. Let me state that my family is very strongly committed to doing things that are right, on the right side of the law, etc. If we were gangsters though, we'd be rollin' like the James gang or if we were dangerously violent like Four Brothers. I haven't invited fam on this board because it would become out of control for real, but I think I will bring one of my brothers in..... maybe, under strong consideration. Bottom line, I hope the thread gets closed because I can't throw the blows I am capable of throwing here. Jeff runs a clean board and he has a very short rope.... Some other boards let smack go completely beserk before they step in. A smack war could last weeks. Let's just say, my name is known elsewhere around the league and we don't even discuss Andre... A couple of boards have mentioned him but I was in full swing and their best couldn't hang.... BP, If I'm lying, let em know....WU Ok, I am done.... .... with this thread..... for real...... Peace out WU being the bigger man moving on.... I know the other three won't because they lack the resolve to just move on... If you post about this any longer you are just proving that to be true.

WU comments truly show that he is the one who is inflammatory. He claims he is being moderate on this board but is proud to say he can be a real arse if he wants to be on other boards? We established that there is NO evidence on this board of ANYBODY being critical of Andre's work ethic.
That is WU's argument over and over again. That Andre is really trying, working hard. Fine. Good for Andre but the same could be said about Todd Williams and many others who didn't make the grade. Then we quote an AP report that Andre is sucking it up again this year and somehow that is "baiting" WU. No it is gotitans posters making comments on Titan players just like we would with ANY other player.
Here are the facts.
1. Andre is fighting for his professional life.
2. Andre has made a ton of money playing a flipping game.
3. Andre is working hard to be the best he can be.
4. The coaches will decide, not his uncle or anyone else on this board, if he is good enough to play. Nothing we say here will change that.
5. If WU would not post there would be no other human being on this board who would argue that Andre is a bust and this argument would end.
Umm, you do.Gunny said:

Soxcat,
WU does blow up and overreact, as I agreed above. But sometimes you guys are just as bad, because you're posting just because you know it'll make WU blow up. See Rolltide's post 111. I don't have time to go through you and Brian's posts from the past year, but come on, surely you two can admit that you cross the line to taunt him. He leaves it be, until one of you three comes in and makes a provacative comment. It's up to you to let it die.
