This discussion definitely happened like a week ago. Lol

It's happened several times in this thread, but to me it can't be stated enough.

New gear grinder: People who think it's funny and get happy when a player gets injured and has to miss the rest of the season.

I will only think it's funny if that player is Cortland Finnegan or Mark Sanchez. My only two exceptions to the rule, which is amazing seeing as how much I hate Eli.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I have no exceptions to this rule. Injuries flat out suck.

What I am referencing here was a Niner "fan" (and I use this very loosely) on Facebook a few days ago who was happy and thought it was funny that Kyle Williams tore his ACL and is gonna be out for a while.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I have exceptions to that rule, I must say. Nobody's perfect.

Well, in most cases, I don't think it's out-and-out happiness as much as it'd be lack of sympathy.

Of all people Mark Sanchez?

And no, I dont think it is ever appropriate to celebrate a man's injury. Even Cortland Finnegan has a family they support with their professional skill. That is their livelihoods. I wouldnt wish injury on any player.

But if we're talking about not getting particularly upset that certain players get hurt on the field im all for that. For example Im not happy that Mike Vick has missed 2 games, but I damn sure aint mad about it.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Happy isn't the word I was going for. Well, for Finnegan I would be. I hope he falls off the face of the earth. If missing a season of play means his family goes into poverty I have even less sympathy for them. Learn how to manage the millons of dollars you make.

Mark Sanchez I just think is ironic, and the situation around him is so funny it makes me laugh. Obviously I feel bad for the guy, and I really don't think he's a horrible QB even.

But yeah. I won't wish injury on Finnegan, but if it happens I'm not gonna shed a tear. The league is a better place without him around.

that thing is big enough to retire the next 10 generations in any family, but i think we'll all keep it to ourselves.

An injury can ruin a career. What I said has nothing to do with managing money properly.

Outsourced customer service.

Companies should at least offer to let you pay to speak to someone who real name is actually Bob Smith.

I used to hate having to call Sprint's customer service reps - it ALWAYS sent me to India or somewhere in that region and they would have a simple name like that. I swear I've spoken to 34 Johns. And... it never fails but once I ask for the 'military discount' or have to say something about the military I have to have a 15 minute conversation about the Army/Iraq/Afghanistan. But I won't lie, pretending to be a nice guy when I was truly annoyed got my bill cleared on 2-3 occassions.

The UPS people not leaving my Berbatov jersey for me at my door.

****ers. Like anybody's going to steal that. Just leave it there, it's fine. Nobody lives within five acres of our house.

And, as Americans, even if it was stolen they'd probably be so disappointed with the package's contents that they'd just put it back on our doorstep because it wasn't worth the larceny to them.
