Marcus Ball Released by 49ers

Blowing up the salary cap is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. A team that goes over the salary cap one year has that much less to play with the following. Furthermore, all contracts need to get certified by the league before a team can actually use a player. This will not happen. But that's ok 71. Keep on ragging on the team.

Nope, you're wrong there. I'm pretty sure you've heard worse ideas from me.

By the way AngeloV, have you ever offered a constructive idea for a solution to the obvious problems. Or do you just fiddle while Rome burns? There's more than a few in this forum who are quick to point out the shortcomings of solutions offered, by strangely offer nothing. All is "Tickety Boo" with the organization past, present and future, right?

Make sure you don't stick your head out. Someone might know what you're really thinking.

Well maybe you can shed your wisdom at the town hall. You go on a website called ARGOFANS and do nothing but slag the team. What if a new fan came on here and read all the crap that you post, and was influenced into thinking this team isn't worth supporting from what they've been reading. How is that helping the team that you claim to love? The more I see this, the more I understand why Lori Bursey pulled the forum off of the FOA website.

Lori Bursey has a different mandate with the "Friends of the Argos," as is her right. This is open, frank talk from Argonaut fans; or at least I thought it was? This is the stuff my dad and I discuss every phone call -- all year long (; If this site is not about open, free discussion about this Football Team, please let me know, cos then I'll run along.

Otherwise the FOA may have a website that is better sited to one or two people here who seem to suffer from peptic agita every-time someone has the gall to ask for a little more. I mean we are talking about a team that has won only 23 times in 3 seasons (with two Playoff misses) are we not?

I would think that a fan board would reflect and should reflect that, unless of course you desire the FOA's route? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I have some honest questions for you since I've never understood this leaf fan type of mentality.

Do you think that fans should never question the team that they cheer for?

Are we only to praise everything that the team does?

We finished dead last, last season and traded away the first overall pick. If we can't be critical of the team after a season like that when would it be acceptable to be critical?

Explained my feelings a while ago, and have not been involved in any mud slinging on here since before the town hall, but if you need me to refresh your memory, I posted on this site a couple of weeks ago that I have no issue with constructive criticism, but IMO it was WAY OVER THE TOP, and WAY TOO EARLY to determine the fate of the team. It was February. Lots can happen, and has happened between then and the start of the season. Just like in the same way, you don't see me declaring the team the early favourites to go to the Grey Cup based on some news perceived as positive around here.

Comments like "I think maybe I'll just go to all the road games and not the home games" Annoyed the F out of me. That's the comments from a fan? Support the bottom line of the rest of the league, but not the team you supposedly cheer?

I realize that was a sarcastic comment, but I'm just using it as an example.

Anyway, that's all I will say about this subject going forward. I've decided to stop being so confrontational around here. I'm just going continue to support my team, win or lose. No reason to change that philosophy now. Never been one to jump on or off a bandwagon.
