Shawne Merriman

Announced his retirement today...think we can talk him out of it and sign him to a long term deal?

 

man, what a wild career....he was amazing his first 3 years, and then an injury totally sidelined his career...

 

...and the countdown begins...

 

I guess thats why when its time for them guys to get paid they want to get paid. Because you never know whats going to happen

 

That and no more roids

 

. . . and Tia Tequila . . .

 

Where's Scott?

 

Yeah, I started this thread just for him...

 

Sign him! Sign everyone!!!

 

That's what I was waiting for!

 

Rooney's way is to build thu the draft, not sign washed up
players.

 

He was joking...

 

Just an observation of my fellow TSF members. I'm also an Atlanta Braves fan and active on their MB. Over there, there's a lot of hate/critical threads going on but also many jokes and fun ones. Here at TSF, it's all business...relatively very little bashing but also not too light hearted. I figured I'd throw in a "fun" one, as it's a topically light part of the season. Not complaining, just pointing it out.

 

Idk if you have ever been on the Penguins board but that place is nothing but bashing on each other. I still read it but you have to get through all of the annoying post....which is every other one. Just another reason why I love this board...not everyone gets along but it is moderated well by TTF and by all of the posters themselves.

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the Braves!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!!

 

Cubs? LOL

 

You mean we won't get to see Merriman's seizures errrrrrrrr, I mean lights out dance anymore?

 

I may have brought this up before, but a few years ago when I used to peruse the Pens board (this is back before Crosby, when they were god-awful), two posters were actually arranging to have a fight at the next game. They had time and place sorted and everything. That's taking it to a whole new level of bashing...

 

Honestly after reading that board for years as well....that doesn't surpirse me.
