Lots of Ram News.....

[Retroram52]

Boss and Zeke. Don't you know Snead and Fisher let Shelly Smith and C. Williams walk so they could sign two stiffs like Joseph and Richie Incognito??

 

[zeke2829]

I told you I thought you were comparing oranges to apples.

How much more direct can I get?

Why don't you just answer your own question and fill us all in on how you see it instead of me guessing when I think it's mute?

I think that is much more productive of both our time! You obviously have an opinion and maybe it can influence sme of us?

You started this this circle of confusion not me, apples to oranges?? ...wtf kind of answer is that? You were quick to research who we signed in 2012/2013(post #23). Why wont you research who the 49ers signed or who the Seahawks signed? I think you will find that I am correct!

 

[zeke2829]

Uh, Boss. The Boss429 was outlawed by NASCAR after the 426 Hemi was outlawed by NASCAR because Ford and Chevrolet couldn't beat the Hemi. The Boss 429 was Ford's response to the Hemi the one Richard Petty used to win all of those races. Then GM whined up a storm because Richard Petty with his Hemi and David Pearson with the Boss 429 were winning all of the races.

Holy Crap, you must be old in order to know that. I was still in k school when that was going on.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep Zeke. You don't get to be the Pres of the 50+ club being a young turk like yourself. I was watching NASCAR in the 50's when it was hardly known outside of the south and a guy named Richard Petty was kickin' butt nearly every week.

I hope you're not serious? They better do something our o-line needs major attention right now. We only have 2 tackles and 3 centers and that's it. Sammy will protest!

I was still chitin yellow......

 

[Vitamike]

I don't understand your logic one bit. A 7th rd. pick is a drop in the bucket for a former 2nd rd. pick.
We need o-line help big time right now and you are worried about him backstabbing?? Come on Vmike you must not have faith in our coaching staff if you don't think they can break him of this. If they cant no big deal cut him. You just don't want to admit that it was a good move on their part.

Untrue as I'm sure you must know. I manage people, I have done so for a long time. I have had more than my share of 'Martins' and they steal your energy. It's the 'ole subtraction by addition and I couldn't think of a better place for Martin outside of Seattle. I would be ticked if the Rams brought him in for nothing, much less a 7th, just as an experiment!

 

[Vitamike]

Agreed Zeke. A 7th round pick for this guy is probably a steal. Despite his "mental" issues, he has the physical tools to play the position. He is a bit of a wennie at this point, and him and Bradford would probably immediately be best friends, but I think our OL coach could shape him into something worth more than a 7th round pick. With our OL now in shambles, we could have gambled and outbid the whiners and offered a 6th pick and it probably would have been worth it.

You guys just don't get it, he could be a pro bowl guard and even in our current situation I think it would be disaster! These type of people are no good, their upside is far outweighed by their downside.

We would need a specialist in mental illness, not an OL coach to help this cat and then only maybe!

 

[Vitamike]

And I agree with Zeke

The 9ers trading a conditional 7th round pick for Martin was a brilliant move.

Like Zeke said, it's a 7th round pick that would've been used on a rookie that may or may not last. Why not use the pick on Martin and see if his old coach can turn him around?

There is no risk involved whatsoever. If he turns it around, they struck gold. If he doesn't, they cut him ( which would probably happen to the rookie they took anyways ).

I don't think that's what zeke was saying, he wanted Martin here in St Louis! For the 49ers & Martin, I can't see a better landing spot. Having his old college coach guide him, who knows. That's not the same deal here, even so I think Frisco is playing with fire.

 

[Vitamike]

I wonder what 49ers players think of this

I would guess that if they think he can help the team, they'd be all for it. As stated earlier by Zeke and Angel, it's such an insignificant gamble, and if it has the potential to help the team, why not? Maybe we can get Fisher and Snead enrolled in one of the classes on coaching fundamentals that Harbaugh does at the local community college in the off-season.

I'll guess they are all clinching their ass cheeks and not bending over!

That guy is gonna screw someone over again unless Jimmy boy does work!

I'm calling Bull Shit retro!

Unless you're counting 'watching' with your baby blues!

I'm done!

 

[Retroram52]

Vita. Does 1958-1959 qualify for the 50's? You take your bull shit and stick where the sun doesn't shine!! Sometimes your calling people out catches up with ya' and this is one of those times.

Hey when the shit stinks, I'm call in bullshit, that's what buds do, nuttin personal brudah!

I really don't think being born in the mid to late 50's qualifies as 'watching' NASCAR in the 50's.

If you tell me you were at least 7 years old in 1958-1959, I'll completely concede.

But I met you bro and either you've lived very well or your just not that old!

Take it how you will, I meant no offense.

Angel you are completely correct the whole point was to show how the 49ers are more active than we are and this is a Clear example of this! We have done nothing! and V Mike is afraid to admit it

 

[Retroram52]

What you want to see my license, Vita? I was born in 1956. I watched NASCAR as a 3 year-old with my oldest brother and I have been watching it ever since. I find it a bit annoying that you set yourself up as some sort of standard that I have to satisfy when I am telling the truth here. This is getting a little old. And you can take that however you want. I meant no offense.

I think you mean Lee Petty. Richard was in his teens for most of the '50s.

 

[Retroram52]

Lee Petty won the Daytona 500 in 1959 and Richard won his first race in 1960 and I saw both races on TV. I didn't think a simple statement would cause such a hubbub on this site. Jeez, Louise.

 

[shopson67]

I'm a Ford guy too. But I'm afraid that the BOSS is just wishful thinking on my part. I was really into the car scene in my younger days, but as you know it's a rich man's hobby. I did have a good friend that had one of the original Ford Thunderbolts though. He had a rich father and he was a spoiled brat. That thing used to eat Chevys for lunch and s@#!! out Chryslers! He also had a Ford Galaxy SOHC when he was younger too. The only engine ever outlawed by NASCAR because GM and Chrysler couldn't beat it!

I sold my 67 Mustang a few years back, but it was only a 289. Had that car almost 20 years, but it was time to let someone else sink money into it, lol. Replaced it with a Hemi (kinda, a 2005 Dodge Durango). I grew up a Mopar fan because of my Dad (used to race a 70 Cuda, and had just about all of the hot Mopars of the late 60s when new), but somehow got sidetracked towards Mustangs. Good thing, as they are a lot cheaper to fix since there are so many parts houses for Mustangs these days, especially compared to Mopar. I still get upset thinking about the 69 Roadrunner (383) that got away though, would've been my first car at 16 but the seller backed out of the deal.

No hubbub, just another Richard Petty fan!
