USE SOME FREAKING COMMON SENSE!

If you are going to blame him for something, blame him for the stupid trade, letting Boston walk for nothing, not getting the big name free agents in here (which isn't really his fault either).

Don't blame him for Bidwillian error.

Perhaps it is time to spawn a new phrase...

Bidwillian Double-Speak

(an homage to Orwell's "1984")

example?

Graves says: "We called and left numberous messages, but never received a call back."

Actual meaning: "We never called, and were anticipating that you would come calling on us, hat in hand, asking for our sympathy and a deal."

Thank you, thank you very much!

Ken,

Maybe you can write up a little Bidwillian Dictionary. Would be a great article...

Ok, here is a perfect example. I just cut and paste this off of the Cardinals website. First the link, then the quote

http://azcardinals.com/press/pressdetails.php?sid=1196

Cards Prepare for First Team Workout of 2003

"...The camp will also be the first time the Cardinals organization will get a good look at this year’s seven-player draft class featuring first-round selections Bryant Johnson (wide receiver) and Calvin Pace (defensive end), and 11 college free agents..."

actual meaning: "...Come see Emmitt in Cardinals red for the first time. Don't come to the Cardinal's Fan-Fest expecting to see any off our high-round draft choices actually doing anything but stand on the sidelines. You will get a chance to see Emmitt Smith take a couple of handoffs and break some big gainers, since there will be no contact of course. Also, don't expect to talk to, or get autographs from, any of our players under contract unless you schlep your kid in with you, as only kids 17 and under will be able to get any autographs. Did we mention you get to see Emmitt?..."

Graves: "I'm confident we'll be able to work something out with ________. We'd like to have him here"

Translation: "We have no intention of signing this stiff, but rather than make him look bad, we'll just say the right thing and hope the whole matter fades away."

Sweet!

Graves: "It's a situation that we're interested in but, we want to make sure that we feel comfortable with it."

Translation: "Is it cheap?"

 

[RedStorm]

Graves: Things around here are going to change. No more business as usual

Translation: The puppets lips moved but Bidwills did not. Wow.....
