    Lol, we just beat Toronto for the Trillum and you're more concerned with digging up old posts about me. :D

    Yeah, I'm the one with the problem. Obviously..

    Well, at least you don't think everything is about you...

    I was bored, happened to read it, laughed my ass off and decided to bump it for the hell of it.

    And I have a man-crush on you. Yeah, that's it!

    Must have been really bored at 3 a.m. :D

    Anyways, I made my peace with that whole thing. I acted like a little piss ant child about it, but hey I thought it was important at the time and I'm starting to see things differently. I thought down the road that I deserved a dime from it for my contribution, when I don't deserve anything. The Crew has given me enough good times, the least I could do is give something back.

    Sure I feel weary about a couple of things as in the end modern football won the rights on this one as from what I heard they paid a couple grand for the trademark. I got my panties in a bunch because obviously if they are paying the couple grand it's important. And, although McCullers said he didn't know the lawyers went through with finalizing the trademark, lawyers just don't go ahead with something without telling their client. So, that's in my opinion B.S.(if you want to trademark it fine, but don't treat us like we are total buffoons in the process of doing so), but I get it as really it doesn't matter what line they feed us because they know were helpless to do anything about it.

    Also, if they were doing this to help the section, wouldn't McCullers want to say he actually pushed the trademark through instead of saying he didn't know the lawyers went ahead with it?

    Anyways, bitching, moaning, complaining won't get us anywhere. My mom always has some good advice, "don't wish you could have done this that way or done that this way, because you can't, it's in the past so get over it." I have a lot of things in the last year I'm starting to get over (things I wish I would have done or said to my dad, going to law school too soon afterwards and flunking out after a year, etc.) I want to apoligize to everyone for my behavior at times, because yeah I was a bit mentally unstable perhaps. At least I can be honest about it. I mean my grandma, my dad, even my cat died in the last year, lol, my mom is calling me saying she can't afford our house anymore and then I'm studying law 7-10 hours a day, who wouldn't be? :D

    But, some of the things I did were pure d**kish, no excuse for them. I regret being such a dbag with Blake's "Nordecke USA" website. It's a wonder anyone still talks to me. Just have to understand, for me right now, on the top things I care about it's my family and what happens in that section. In the past, I had problems seperating myself from the name.

    But, in the end(and hopefully this is the end of this discussion), I'm happy the name took off and if they ever make a dime off of the name I hope it goes to the section or at least help funds the team or a transfer. If it makes the rich, richer I won't be totally pleased but then again I can't do anything about that. If there is any market for the name I just hope the suits do the right thing with it.

    Btw, I have no ill will for McCullers or the front office. If I was general manager I would have done the same thing, probably even sooner. They deal with a lot of crap from us, allow us to get away with a lot, and hell even make it easier for me by storing my banners in their lobby after games. We could have it a lot worse, way worse as most people that were there for the Jim Smith days could attest (I only caught the tail end of that). Anyways, as long as they continue to work with us, I can't complain a lot, I don't think none of us can.

    In culmination, it's all about the MASSIVE club. Like Frankie said last night, we play all as a team, not individuals(same should go for our groups and no fo vs. us mentality, etc.).

    Wow!!!!

    Except for this bit...

    ...that I read three times and still can't make heads or tails of...

    This is far and away the best most reasoned and reasonable post by crewfighter ever! I think I need to rep him for it!

    i've never seen this thread.

    you are like my cousin. you don't have a filter. everything just "comes out" and there it is.

    your grammar and spelling, whoa!

    gonna have to fix those things if you want to be a lawyer.

    My response above was, in my opinion, okay for a message board. Sure, if I'm writing on Crewture, or writing a paper, I write like 10 more drafts.

    But, even if my grammar wasn't perfect throughout, shouldn't yours be beautifully constructed if you're going to call me out? If I was going to call someone out on grammar, I would make sure my response was perfect. Your response with no capital letters and "gonna" and "you are" isn't much better. :rolleyes: But, hey let's be pretentious about my long post that doesn't concern you. Look, the message above is for people that I annoyed on this and a couple other issues. If you were not around for it, I'm not talking to you, so why even post this "if you're not going to say anything nice, don't say nothing at all" response.

    And, I'm not in law school anymore, so I ain't "gonna have to fix those things" to be such an awesum lawyer. :rolleyes: Seriously, if I get one more "well, if you want to be a lawyer, you should have better language skills like me" retort, when I have said at least 10 times already that I'm going a different route, I will vomit.

    Also, I was recapping my thoughts on this from before, not sure what part of that needs filtering. But, I rather be honest and explain my reactions to this thread, than filter everything I say.

    Well, if you're going to be a lawyer, you can't just vomit if somebody says something you don't want to hear.

    I honestly necro-posted here entirely for the purpose of encouraging people to read the hilarity. In fact, the mere fact that I was reading it at all was due to random chance.

    I'm glad to see it just keeps on giving.

    You're welcome, Crew Board!

    This thread was a dumpster fire prior to the Internet falling in love with that phrase.
