Chris Cornell-- not a fraud.

I've figured out what I like about Chris's vocals, and it's his control. It's not his range, etc., or his timbre, although his rich baritone is probably essential.

He is just so fuggin lazy while he runs the razor down your arm.

And he means to run it down your arm, deep enough to hit important stuff.

Also, you can see into his soul as a performer. He is terminally humble. That is wicked attractive. He doesn't need to be humble.

IMHO Bob Marley performs and sings this song the best of any other performer or singer that I have heard so far.

Well, sure. It's his song.

UB40 did Red Red Wine better than Neil Diamond.

I said what I said.

Is UB40 the father of matchbox 20 (MB20)?

Ya know, in he aftermath of the Payton press conference and the fallout from some of the sound bites and comments, I really hope that Wilson has a career year. I’ve already grown absolutely tired of hearing every single never-was piece of shit “sports journalist” (99% of whom are just ********* with a Twitter account) flexing on Wilson and absolutely kicking him when he’s down. It’s disgraceful how quickly the media and the fans have turned on this guy after one season. Shitbags like Albert Haynesworth didn’t receive this kind of criticism.

Yep. He had a down year. Yep, he, like everybody’s favorite knob to gobble Thom Lady, hired his own personal coach and had people he personally hired for whatever reasons. Yes, he’s kinda socially awkward and can come off as phony sometimes. Maybe he even had his own parking space and office in the facility. It amazes me how an athlete who has never had a bad thing to say about anyone, if he did nothing else with his career and retired tomorrow is a HOFer, and is a Walter Payton Man of the Year winner based on his charity/community work can breed this kind of hatred, resentment, and utter celebration of failure by everyone from the mainstream media, to the Twittiots (yes I just made that up, Trademarked!), to even Broncos fans just stumbling over themselves, gleefully reveling, and high-fiving each other over this guy’s misfortune.

It’s really sad that this somehow passes for “sports journalism” these days.

For 7 months I’ve been just in awe of how personal the Wilson criticism has become.

He's a public figure. Boo hoo. He can cry himself to sleep in his 12 bathroom home.

It will just take one thing to change the public narrative on him: Play better and lead us to wins.

As for the personal coach thing, yes, most players have personal coaches. Most of them don't bring their personal coach to work. That's a pretty big slap in the face to the coaches of your team, and I applaud Payton for nixing that. BB didn't let Brady's personal staff in the building either.

Imagine if all 53 players tried to bring their personal coaches and trainers to team headquarters every day. It would total chaos. Can't give one player preferential treatment in that regard.

You probably shouldn't get so bent out of shape over valid criticism.

The white knighting for him is just as lame as the over the top personal criticism. He's an adult who chose to go into a profession that comes with intense public scrutiny. If he wanted to be anonymous he could have played baseball instead.

He ultimately brings a lot of the criticism on himself, and like I said, playing well and winning will cure all.

It’s not about critiquing his play. It’s become completely personal with this guy as if everyone is celebrating his failure on the field as a result of him being a terrible person off the field who drives drunk, drowns kittens, beats his wife, and hates old people. It’s almost as if the expectations were so high, and people got so insanely jealous that everyone was just waiting with bated breath for him to fail professionally so they could attack him personally. Tom Brady’s personal coach did have access to the facilities the whole time and it wasn’t until the last season he was a Cheatriot that BB finally decided to ban him from the facility, not because of Brady, but because Brady’s teammates were consulting his personal coach/dietitian/lover whatever he was, instead of the training staff.

Tom Brady is celebrated as the GOAT for what he’s done on the field because he won championships, never mind the fact that he’s a cheater, an ******* off the field, and has never attempted to help anyone but Tom Brady with all his money and influence. His “charitable foundation” he didn’t even start until 2015 and it’s whole mission to “empower athletes everywhere to do what he’s done in his own storied career – keep going despite the odds”. WTF is that? Yet, not once in his entire career has he received even 1/10th the ire and hatred and personal venom that Wilson has after one bad season. Frankly, I think it’s kinda shameful.

Yeah, I was upset about Wilson’s performance this year as I was with the whole organization. So much so I took half a season off from watching the team. It’s just ridiculous how much hatred this guy has gotten for what, having a bad season behind a bad Oline with the most banged up team in the league and a rookie HC who was clearly in over his head. Hell, even Hackett, who hasn’t earned anything, gets less flack than Wilson half the people are saying it was Wilson’s fault Hackett got fired. That’s ludicrous.

I think it's really weird that you're white knighting for him this hard. He's a grown man, he can probably handle the criticism.
