Obviously, "Scorched earth policy" isn't getting it done for most of you. So I'm throwing it open to the Burn fans that actually post here. My suggestion comes from one of the great press conference meltdowns in sports history. It was referenced in another thread about the playoffs. It comes from Jim Mora, whose Indianapolis Colts in a 2001 game against the 49ers basically stunk up the joint on its way to a 6-10 season: "Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. Are you kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game, another game." You've probably seen the clip on SportsCenter or heard it on the radio. It's hilarious.
Is this too long? "I can be honest with the guys and say they showed a lot of character and fight, and be proud of that," Jeffries said. "But this was a bad day." -Mike Jeffries Mike, is this the first bad day, or does it come on top of the 119 other bad days the team has had prior to that day? Ok, that's too long...try this list Mike Jeffries, outplacement opportunity Mike, you tried--now go Mike Have Mercy--on the fans Dave, we're sorry At the bottom and still digging And you thought Tampa Bay was bad...(thanks to whoever posted that one in the other thread) We own more of the wrong records than anyone Pain and agony would be a relief at this point Season tickets? We don't need no stinkin season tickets Pardon our suck, we are under construction and will re-open in 2005. Don't let this happen to your franchise and my favorite Avoid the Christmas rush for 2004, fire Jefries now.
"Well, in my opinion that just sucks" and "we couldn't do diddly-poo" are other Jim Mora classics that could work.
Hey Viking, let me ask you this. Since this entire season is Jeffries fault, who's fault is last season's 3rd best recrod in the league?
come to the Dallas Burn school of how to fvck (screw) up a season in everyway possible I also like Exit the Dragon, whoever said "Enter the Dragon" is a moron, sorry you are because you odviously haven't been to that hell. you're welcome (at least I think it was me)
I started a new thread with my answer to 3rd Degree. I admit I'm being really harsh. But for cripes sake we had a team last year. Bradley and Sarachan (sp?) don't seem to be having the kind of problems the Burn have. Why?
"The TEAM" And let's not put goofy tag lines under the Burn name. This season is already goofy enough without running the Burn name down also. That's something we should never do! Bags on the head, yes!
Frankie Yallop's. San Jose was the 3 seed in the playoffs last year. Dallas finished tied for 4th with Colorado.
OK, I'm giving up on next year too. "Grass in Frisco in 2005" or to copy the evil empire "Pardon our plastic (and team)"
Suggestive taglines: "Is it 2005 yet?" "Jeffries' soccer: a heartBURNing affair" "We find creative ways of losing" "Real grass in 2005" "The Sunderland of MLS"
um no we were the 3rd best team in the league, because of the gay playoff system NE was ahead of us and San Ho, but as far as numbers go (the $hit that counts) we were 3rd.
Actually, it was me. But you're welcome anyway. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=1451897#post1451897 But I like burning247's suggestion from the old thread too ... And again, good luck finding a tagline.
