you quoted me saying that if quinn ewers went to any other school that no one here would think highly of him as a qb, and then you responded with, “oh gee, people root for guys who played at their school, who knew?” what do you want me to do with that? pretend that your response to my post had anything to do with what i said? 

When you get off your meds and get loose from the orderlies, you really are exhausting. 

You presented two concepts. 

1) If player X didn't go to Texas, no one here would even be cheering for him. 

2) Everyone cheering for him is projecting success at the next level for no reason, all of the objective stats and facts point in my arguments favor, potshots at maga and comparing those folks to posters in this thread for whatever reason, blah blah blah. 

I addressed concept 1, which no sane person not on a manic rage-posting streak would argue against. I have no interest in further hearing you about this if you wish to challenge it because you'd be wrong on it and it is a mindnumbingly stupid take that you should have never posted in the first place.

I ignored concept 2 because I reject the premise. You've provided no evidence to secure a genuine response that a bunch of posters here are calling for Ewers to be successful at the NFL level simply because they're Ewers fanbois.

Note: this isn't an invite for you to go back through the more than 100 page thread and find shit people said hopefully about him in the past. I've been on the past 4-5 pages of this shitshow and I don't see much of that, if any, and it is absolutely nowhere near a consensus POV even if your amped up ass finds a needle in the haystack and you want to come back and "OH OH OMG SEE SEE!! THIS GUY DID IT!! RIGHT HERE IN THIS ONE POST IM QUOTING! THIS GUY DID IT! BOOM! MIC DROP!!" whatever perceived nugget you've managed to locate.

One of the super powers I had in my career was the ability to sorta attach myself to a problem and chew at it until it was solved. This was very good for, say, incredibly hard to find bugs that had to be fixed, or writing new things that needed in-depth knowledge that no one, including me, had yet.

But this is a terrible trait to have when you either get obsessed with something that isn't an issue the business is concerned with... and when getting into arguments with people on the Internet, whether right or wrong.

I'm getting better at it, but still struggle.

So on the one hand, I sympathize with Derka, and would be a hypocrite if I didn't. On the other hand, since I know what the answer is, and Derka knows what the answer is, I think less of him as a person because he refuses to do it. 

USE THE GODDAMN IGNORE FEATURE @Derka!!!

You should get down on your knees every day and thank Charlie Strong for roughly buttfucking the realization into you that you can, in fact, be wrong on the internet. This personal rock bottom might have actually turned your life around in positive ways. I hope you send him a Christmas card every year.

why is it that everyone who slurps quinn ewers ad nauseam gets to re-post their same takes over and over and over and over, but it’s this huge problem when i respond to it?

i know the answer. do you?

  Reveal hidden contents

it’s because you can’t handle hearing takes that don’t align with yours. 50 people can talk about how awesome he is and predict that he’ll become the dolphins starter before long and you’ll read every post with a smile on your face. then i respond to *one* of those posts, and all of a sudden you’re 

giphy.gif?cid=9b38fe9179e5m3p9rz4mysnq7w

you don’t care about anyone making the same points or arguments, you get upset whenever the argument doesn’t align with yours, which in this case means it doesn’t blindly pump sunshine about a guy who played at Texas.

 

Ah, so you do admit that you return to this thread over and over again like a deranged stalker to fuck with people who's minds you know you aren't changing. 

MoTownDerka Back Aagain! Doing a little Quinn E thread swing.

It's a huge problem because you know you're not engaging in a good faith debate with anyone, you're just here to troll people. Which basically means you're deliberately shitting all over a thread for personal kicks.

how do you keep getting this wrong? the post you quoted absolutely did not say that people here would not be cheering for him if he hadn’t gone to Texas, it said that they would not like him as a quarterback. 

you are wrong. you have been wrong from the jump. you can keep arguing with air if you insist on arguing a point that i never made. come on man.

Hey...I thought of another phrase that originally meant something different but evolved to mean something different due to usage. "Blood is thicker than water" originally meant that those who shed blood together, like in a war, have a bond greater than those who merely shared a bond of being born from the same mother (the "water" of the womb). But dumbasses, probably those who never experienced bloodshed, misconstrued "blood" to mean blood running through their veins, i.e. their genetics. So that's what it means today.

decimate used to mean “reduce by 1/10th” until everyone started using it to mean “basically killed everyone.”

being “petrified” didn’t have anything to do with being scared until people started using it that way at some point relatively recently.

This hits close to home, because my interest in this thread has been decimated and now I am petrified to even open it. I'm sure there are plenty of those who align with me. Our trauma bond is forged in a bizarre combination of masochism and disgust; but we stick together, as blood is thicker than water. 

Birds of a feather flock together, really.

Myles Garrett's helmet swing immortalized in ink | wkyc.com

 

Myles Garrett Speeding Tickets

Myles Garrett was cited for speeding at 100 mph in a 60 mph zone on I-71 near Strongsville, Ohio, just after 2 a.m. on August 11, 2025, hours after the Cleveland Browns' first preseason game. This incident marks his eighth speeding citation since joining the Browns in 2017, with the most recent prior ticket occurring in 2022. Garrett was issued a $250 ticket and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, August 28, 2025, though he can pay the fine to avoid attending.

  • The speeding citation was issued by Strongsville Police on I-71 south near Drake Road.

  • Garrett was driving a gray Ferrari at the time of the stop.

  • The incident occurred shortly after the Browns' preseason game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina.

  • This is Garrett's first speeding ticket since a single-car crash in 2022 where he flipped his Porsche.

  • Garrett has a documented history of speeding violations, including multiple tickets for driving over 100 mph, with a notable instance in 2021 where he was cited twice within 24 hours for speeds of 120 mph and 105 mph.

Wasn't even close to the first time I was wrong on the Internet, and not even the most egregious example.

Somewhere out there there's a post I've made, on the internet, where I decried the direction Id Software went with Wolfenstein 3D, making overblown "tech demos" instead of "good gameplay" games like Commander Keen.

It's hilariously bad in retrospect.

BUT... the Chuck Strong Experience broke my "trust the corches!" nonsense for good. I was that guy from Mackovic up through Strong. Even now, while I like Sark and think the program is in the right direction, I'm going to calibrate my enthusiasm.

you’re right, we all haven’t seen the 50 posts in this thread about how tua is going to get hurt, how zach wilson sucks, and how quinn is going to be the starter at some point this year. i did just make that up.

lol at hank hill trying to refute my point and instead making it for me. Texas fans trashed the likes of von miller and myles garrett as pro prospects because they went to a&m. those same people then turn around and predict pro success for quinn ewers. why hank hill keeps making these posts as if they don’t 100% bolster my argument i have no idea, but it’s funny nonetheless.

I wasn’t refuting your point. The point is just so blatantly obvious that even bringing it up is idiotic and weakens whatever else you’re trying to say.

I'll give you a 2 for 1 that I frequently see idiots mistake for the other. 

Red herring which is to bring up a subject or item to distract folks from the primary subject and albatross which is an inescapable historical burden on someone, most commonly psychological. 

Examples always help.

AnotherLawyer is using this idiom discussion as a red herring to move thoughts away from the Surly albatross. While I applaud his efforts, he should bite the bullet, stop beating around the bush and quit crying over spilled milk.

One of my business connections at a well known university was a primary developer for Gopher. 

Oh, I also ran a single line, single node "bbs" at 300 baud.

Nerd gauntlet thrown! 

Also, I think Ewers will be starting at some point this season. I mean, he owns a car right? Gotta start it.

Ok Mr. Receipts. Go find the 50 posts saying it’s inevitable that Ewers starts this year.

OR, you can say “actually I was being hyperbolic and exaggerating shit to try and make a point even though I’ve whined a bunch about other people doing just that”

Anyone want to take a stab at the sunk cost fallacy and how it applies to Sark’s usage of Ewers at the back end of last season and the playoffs?

I don't know what he was thinking, but this seemed possibly to figure into it.
