No truer words posted.

Geeees, talk about an exaggeration! "No truer words were EVER posted?" In the entire history of the Internet? You serious? Apparently your experience on Internet Message Board Complexes hasn't been very beneficial for you! May I suggest a new line of work?

I know this is asking a lot but could there be a more ridiculous thread?

What I wouldn't give for some good spam about chep implants.

Excuse me sir, but the folks back home are asking: What exactly are "chep implants?"

[JL25and3]

Implants that are chep, I think. I'm still not entirely sure.

[Retired_Doc]

Implants that are chep, I think. I'm still not entirely sure.

Frankly, I'm not entirely sure you will EVER be entirely sure! Isn't "being confused" your basic M.O.?

[JL25and3]

Frankly, I'm not entirely sure you will EVER be entirely sure! Isn't "being confused" your basic M.O.?

No. I tend to be difficult. I'm rarely confused.

[Retired_Doc]

No. I tend to be difficult. I'm rarely confused.

Are you difficult by design, or is it a character flaw?

[JL25and3]

Are you difficult by design, or is it a character flaw?

Yes, but it is not a flaw. It is a characterological triumph.

Yes.

You need much more experience at being difficult. Your skills are not strong.

[Retired_Doc]

I'm not the least bit difficult, and I happen to love myself just that way!

Frankly, I don't think you're difficult inherently. I think it's all a big act and nothing else. I've seen right through it.

LOL. The guy wanted to be an owner and the Yankees weren't for sale the last time I checked.

There were many other ways to handle this but Jeter chose the worst way. Traitor!

Ridiculous. I'm going to go read some chep spam instead.

Bingo.

No need to go somewhere else to read some "chep spam." Just re-read your own posts in this thread!

[Retired_Doc]

Let me educate some of you. Here for example, is just ONE way Jeter could have spent his money and STILL remained a TRUE Yankee:

Offer to invest in one or more of the Yankees' Minor League affiliates. How many times have we heard from Minor Leaguers that the conditions there are, shall we say: challenging? Lousy accommodations, low class food, low-rent bus rides, lousy ballparks, old/small/poorly-outfitted clubhouses, etc., etc.? So Jeter could have spent some of the millions he made off the Yanks and offered to jazz up the Yanks' Minor League affiliates. He could have also packaged his fancy-dan, well-known name and agreed to make PR visits there on numerous occasions throughout the season. In return Jeter would have been made a part-owner of every one of these teams and with his financial input as well as his P.R. contributions these teams could have increased in value. Never near as much as say the Marlins, but increased nonetheless.

THAT'S what we want from our heroes. THAT'S the kind of conduct we expect from our "Captain." Don't just call yourself "Captain," prove it! Prove it with unselfish behavior.

That is absolutely ridiculous and it doesn't seem to bother you that no one that has commented in this thread agrees with your ridiculous assertions. I think you should seek some professional help and I don't mean talking to yourself while looking at a mirror.

HA! Surely you jest! You think I give a flying (substitute nasty word) whether or not the masses AGREE with me?? You have obviously been sleeping through my threads like Rip Van Winkle. Since when have I ever created a thread worrying about people agreeing with me? I've already stated that I'm not running for Governor and I don't need anyone's vote here.

There is no "right or wrong" when it comes to opinions. Frankly, I'm quite pleased you disagree with me. This world wouldn't be much fun if I originated a thread and everyone completely agreed with me.

I think differently. I think "out of the box." I'm not your normal, everyday "glad-hander" creating threads hoping everyone will fall in love with me. If you're seeking those threads, you will never want to read any of mine!

Why do you think hundreds/thousands of folks read my threads? Why do you think I'm THE most sought-after poster of all time? Guests literally pound the "refresh button" endlessly awaiting my next important missive. Do you think my job is easy? It's not. I sink countless hours into this unpaid and thankless function. And I ask for nothing in return.

There are no playgrounds where I live----oh how I miss them dearly!

Derek Jeter just ruined his Yankees legacy by buying a competitive team! Gulp!

Sorry, but that's very NON-Yankee! NOT in our tradition.

I don't see very much in the original post that indicates an opinion.

I've got a few hundreds/thousands of readers right here.

How about schools? Any of those nearby?

[fightingirish595]

Well Jeter lovers better hope Jeter isn't stupid enough to allow himself to use the "Michael Jordan blueprint to ownership." Have you seen the dumb decisions Jordan has made as an owner/adviser/draft expert? Not good.
