🏈 I wanted to apologize to any members I might have offended

I think Julio has great hands. Yall see him snag that Gator after the game.

I didn't view it at the time as being that big a deal, but I think some people did.

Basically I made 2 comments; 1. I'm gonna start calling Julio, Flintstone, because he has hands like rock. And 2. Carpenter continues a steller job of not actually blocking anyone.

Anyway, I just thought I should say something because atleast one member (and there were other members with similar complaints) stated roughly, "Why can chop do it and I can't"? Had I worked on BOL or .....well...other forums, my response would have been to just ban that member for their insolent behavior. :lol: But it was a valid question, and they were right. If staff is going to request certain things from members then staff should be able to comply themselves.

You must chop down the tallest tree in the forest ... with a herring.

Seriously, Keith even though no one loves Bama more than you do, you've always demonstrated what good board decorum is supposed to be.

Hey gang, I just wanted to take a minute to apologize to the board for any comments I made in the game thread(s) that might have offended people. Anyone that knows me knows that I routinely use game threads to vent. When I post on game threads it's in "real time" and in the heat of the moment, and most of you that have been on here for any amount of time know that chop says exactly what he's thinking when he's thinking it. That's not always a good thing, but it's a fault of mine.

I know that atleast one person took issue with my "Flintstone" comment regarding Julio. I apologize because by the letter of the law if was against board policy. Having said that, when I made the post I really expected people to see it and kind of chuckle, because while I was frustrated, I was also trying to make a joke.

Bottom line is that what applies to the members also applies to staff. It would be bad policy to call someone out for something when chop or another staff members is doing the exact same thing. I've said it a million times and I continue to believe that we have the best members on the net here. You're the best for a number of reasons, least of which is because of the way you conduct yourselves on the forums. Staff have to be held to the same high standards.

Again, I apologize to the board. The last thing I would want is to have members view staff as hypocrites. This is not something that anyone has asked me to do, but I was compelled to say it.

You Judas! :rofl: IMO you should not have to apologize everyone vents. You should not have to be a PC person on the net! :bs:

As pennance you must go back and watch replays of the 4th quarter fold ups in the Shula years.

Chop,

You have nothing to be sorry about. Like what was already said this shows the kind of character you have.

I am offended by this apology. I expect a full apology for this apology immediately.

 

[IllinoisTideFan]

Sorry, obscure reference to Artest drinking during games.

I got it. Funny stuff.

 

[Tider27]

Aight Chop, don't let it happen again. :lol:

:no-no::no-no:

I'm just kidding, I thought it was gonna be a lot more than what you posted, I wouldn't worry about it. Props for manning up when you thought you did wrong though.
