Yeah we're not going to do this. No one has a crystal ball and everyone believes their advice is good at the time.
We're not starting the precedent of using 20/20 hindsight to go back and rub things in people's faces.

It was unusually relentless the degree to which I was bashed, but hey, you're the boss.

If you think someone's being over the line obnoxious, let us know.

I'd rather just handle it on my own, like this, but I guess next time I'll go right to you. Thanks.

I think I bashed you for saying to start McKinnon for week 2-4, I figured McKinnon would get the role, but I predicted down the line (week 9-11) so I was a bit off, to those who started McKinnon early have no sympathy for me, to those who thought Asiata was completely in for the job also probably just have no idea how beast McKinnon is. The fact that Bridgewater is a rookie makes the Vikings run the ball a lot, so McKinnon is looking pretty good
Actually no, I never said to start him week 2-4, just that McKinnon would be the better pickup going forward if talent wins out because Asiata is an unusually UNathletic RB...of course I admitted that the Vikings could just be stubborn and stick with Asiata, but that they'd be better off if they didn't
Must have been someone else than, some idiots were starting McKinnon way too early
It's funny because I wasn't even all that brash about my analysis, I was just saying don't hang your hat so completely on Asiata...and then this guy responded to me like ten times, relentlessly, saying he was tired of people giving bad advice hyping an unproven rookie...and I'm like bro...it's not that I love the rook, it's that Asiata is one of the least athletic RBs ever
That's just harassment, Asiata won me week 4, but his time is up
