i would also hope one would remain humble enough to admit that perhaps, sometimes, there are some details that are quite hard to grasp if you haven't ever attempted, ever, to do the things that you are watching
and more importantly, it's not cool to act like people who actually coach/play are stupid stupid meatheads, and make fun of them for using their credentials in an argument, and then turn around and use "years watching football on tv" as support for your own argument. it's the same exact tactic, just from a different angle.
after years of dismissing anyone who has any real experience playing football or coaching football by comparing them to joe morgan and making meathead cracks, implying that people who play the sport that provides your living are idiots, you are now using - as a trump card of sorts - that you have "watched a lot of football", presumably in stands and on television, and that makes you the undisputed expert?
seth and i were discussing on twitter that the WLA hasn't been any sort of presence, here or on our own main site, for almost three years. but it was being trotted out as a collective and THE PROBLEM, even though only a couple people with affiliation to that blog were involved. i felt, and i think seth agreed, that dismissing the people like the poster above as crazy because WLA IS CRAZY wasn't a fair assessment of the situation - many people had issues, and the vast majority had nothing to do, ever, with the WLA. so WLA was distracting from whatever the real issue was.
i think it's more than fair to criticize whatever people think wla is/was/will be for many things, for the record
things change and people change
we shut up about rr when it went downhill and we were more wrong than can be wrong about that, and it essentially ended that little experiment. give the wla-boogeyman some credit for sucking it up and going away when our three years of hoopla ended up being a gator bowling

Hearing about the successes of our relentless propaganda campaign always warms our hearts, comrade.

that is an interesting theory you've got there
i would hope that one would pick up some details

you were a lot more humble in the early days.
it wasn't meant as a slap in the face

you see brother, what we've come to know, is that it's ok to think that
in the days before
we held ourselves blameless, above them all, confident in our ways
that doesn't mean we knew the truth
the words may have changed
that's because the attitude changed
we wanted to build a new world
but there was no need
i say it again - this isn't a revolution
it's the end of times
salvation in the past
glory in the future
follow the buzzards
the revolution you all speak of
it went down with the leader
it went down with the gator bowlin'
and we accepted our fates and moved on
we learned and we grew
and we accepted the new
our brothers and sisters didn't sell out the rich rod
the rich rod sold us out with his failings
but showed the error of our ways at the time
for our lot was cast with the man
and not the brand
we return to the brand
because with the brand
time is on our side
follow the buzzards, brother
you see there's no attack
just a message
you don't see it all around you
but you will someday
when you step afoul of the men in power
then you'll see it clear as day
it ain't brainwashing
it's brain washing
lift the covers off your eyes and take a peek
they want you down where you are
they don't want you to think
or question
or challenge
we aren't better than you
and you aren't better than us
but we're all better than them
time is on our side
brothers and sisters
i don't ask for followers
we ask for brothers
calm down
there are different folks in this world
folks who dream
and never leave the couch
folks who dream
and fail
folks who dream
and change the world
but what are you
you're a world changer
a world eater
aren't ya'll tired of being stepped on?
feelin' like an outcast cuz you don't share the mind of the men in the power seat?
ha ha
well
it might be your day
the day everything done changes
when you look at fear
and say
MR FEAR
YOU ARE A LIAR
tell the leaders
tell the power
that the machine can't run forevah
decoration?
yo
furniture?
decoration?
you mean objects of decay?
we don't decay
we only grow
slowly
away from the power
in the hearts of brothers and sisters around the world
but
such hostility brother
but you know it's misguided
we aren't the enemy
we aren't the power
we aren't the one who controls the lights
you'll see someday
you'll understand what it all means
you'll find your way brother
now you got it
but we're already dead
brother
or you can join us
brother
oh control left the building a long time ago
see i was raised here
hated our daddies
they were mean men
so were we
and one day i got plunked out
didn't want me playin' with the other kids
so i went off and i learned to read brother
i read the good book
i read clifford
i read so much it turned to mush
but i learned things
from a far
like the world ain't go no use for a zealot
and the world only exists to feed the appetitie of the powerful
they think they don't need us in their world
that we're trash
but lemme tell you brother
i ain't trash
ain't nobody trash
we're all better than the powerful
we're all capable
control
that ain't nothin but a fancy way for the power to keep you down
burn control
ya'll say return
like something ever left
it's been inside all along
it's been crawling in the dirt
hiding in the trees
you think everything went away
but you were here
you're a part of it
a revolution doesnt exclude
an end doesn't discriminate
we came for the souls
of the hungry
you are the eaters of worlds
the power is in your hands
to make the powerful crumble
to make it burn
burn all around
you've all been lied to brothers and sisters
lies from day one
you think you know what a hero is
it's someone who makes you a forum
you think you need approval or a pat on the back from the power
you don't need anything
you don't need handholdin or babysittin
you don't need nothin
they need you
what if i told you
the man who made it
made all around you
was a lie
that he don't want you
what if i told you
i'd never turn my back
that the answers you need
the approval
is all around you
inside you
this isn't the truth
you are the truth
a revolution is a beginning, brother
this ain't a beginnin'
it's an end
it's all a riddle man
everything is a riddle
do we get hand?
that's open to your thoughts
we're here
hand's been here
he's been here alllll allong
do you really think a fire could control the souls of our brothers?
we're everywhere
sooner or later that fire
that fire you call your own
it'll burn all around you
and it will be you
trapped in the flames
that fire fears us
it's afraid
but is it smart enough to know
it can never hurt us?
wanna hear a secret?
we're already dead
i have never laughed at something on mgo as much as i have laughed at this

rich rod doesn't come to your work and slap the dick out of your mouth, so how about you let the coaches do their jobs?
