    It is amazing how heated these Ginn arguments get - the guy hopes our player outperforms their's - is that so bad?

    Chances are he'll be wrong - but as fans, aren't we supposed to think this way?

    A couple of things:

    1) WTH is Ted Ginn doing hanging out with Peezy in the offseason? Holy Sh!t son, go catch 100 balls off of a Jugs machine in the morning, noon and evening.

    2) CJ would win a 40 yd dash, now 100 meters or longer would be interesting.

    3) Rough yr for TG, now he last bastion of credibility, his speed is under assualt.

    BTW wasn't there some noise about this back in the summer? It was on Twitter and later the whole thing was sort of played off as a joke or a fake Twitter account?

    I can bring at least 4 guys I know that would smoke Welker in a foot race.

    and I am not joking.

    Welker is snail pace slow.

    Welker and Bess are not fast, but quick in small spaces.

    Don't try and attack me because I'm tired of reading people say the same things about Ginn over and over again. Seriously...how many times does it need to be said? Get over it.

    Johnson would take him in the 50 yard dash. However I think ginn has a longer stride and would take him in a 100 yard dash. Either way Ginn is a puss.

    A wise man once said "the stronger man stays silent".

    Ginn is a puss because he doesn't run his mouth? He has nothing to prove. C. Johnson is trying to convince himself more than others. Ginn smokes him in a race. 100 meters, or it isn't a race. Ask the Olympics.

    "But Johnson is faster in the first ten yards......." Get the f outta here. Can't wait for someone to blow up CJ this sunday. Hopefully he tries to catch a flat pass and gets humbled by V.Davis, Bell, or Wilson.

    Chris Johnson just put a big target on his back. As if Miami needed more motivation headed into this game. I hope he gets crushed.

    I think a bigger target would fit on his forehead though. I'm surprised the size of that thing hasn't interfered with his agility. <----(That's what she said)

    Did you guys listen to Ginns interview?
    He thinks it nonsense and shouldn't even be brought up this week, of all weeks. He also said it was guys they were around at a pool party that started all of the talk, not him or johnson. So it was all stupid to him. He got agitated about it too. Press wouldn't let it go, of course.

    The fact that this is the longest thread on the front page, even though the dolphins are about to embark on a win or else 3 game stretch is telling. The media and CJ want this to be TMZ, and it worked. Ginn is right, this ain't the week to bring up crap that happened in the summer.

    This thread is about Ted Ginn.

    And the one who needs to "get over it" is you, M, since you are the one having a problem with free discussion of a topic...the reason a forum exists in the first place.

    It's a sports forum about the Miami Dolphins, not a forum for you to try to stifle discussion of specific topics just because you don't like it.

    I never said he did.

    Just that one of our guys said he hopes Ginn outperforms him and then people come after him saying there is no way that will happen seemed over the top.

    I'm not sure you can say he has a problem with drops when in his entire three year career he's only had about a four game stretch this season where it was a problem. He actually makes some pretty damn tough catches.

    Also a few of his "drops" have been looked at too hard because of who he is. A few of them if Calvin Johnson drops no-one says anything, because they were difficult.

    Yeah I know the thread is about Ted Ginn. It's about how another player was trying to somehow talk crap about him. And then everyone proceeds to talk crap about him on top of it. Step off. Go find someone else to try and get into an argument with.

    So, you KNOW the thread is about Ginn; you KNOW, because you read it, that others here are expressing a negative opinion of Ginn; and yet you still want to be here, trying to tell other people what to do.

    What a brilliant addition you are to the community.

    And telling me to "step off" is both against the spirit of the community and futile. As long as you're criticizing others for expressing their opinions - which is their right - I'm going to be on you like stink on ****.

    It's about other players disrespecting Ginn. We as Dolphin fans are supposed to be supporting our players. ESPECIALLY during this time. Am I wrong? Maybe I'm tired of all the negativity. I'm entitled to express my opinion here. Don't come out of nowhere attacking me just because you disagree with what I have to say. I don't need it.

    What exactly are you doing? You're not criticizing me for expressing my opinion? Way to be a hypocrite.

    I agree with that 100%, and I have been saying it for the longest as well.I just dont know why we have to keep singling out a player just because he doest live up to the standards of the fans. We need to support all the players, I mean damn were trying to get in the playoffs, shouldnt we be focusing on that instead of hating on individual players??

    Calling out a new member of our community is also against the spirit of this community. Some people around here think their post count actually means more than it does.

    State your opinion but personal attacks belong on another site I know.

    I'm advocating that people be able to say what they want on the topic as along as the topic is within the forum's parameters.

    I'm standing up for the forum. What are you standing up for? Censorship?

    You deserve to be put in your place. You come into this community and immediately start telling others not what you think about a topic but what they should think and say.

    Hypocrite? Who's the hypocrite, the one who stands up for others' right to say what they want, or one who joins a forum of free discussion only to tell others what they should think and say?

    Hmm?

    Calling out a member of the community who is acting against the standards of the community he chose to join - a community of free discussion - is exactly right.

    Bolt might even get him in the 50 IMO.

    That's how he set the world record earlier this year. His first 50 meters was the difference. He and Gay were even after that. Gay ran the third fastest time in history and it still wasn't close.

    But Ted Ginn's words are true; 50m is not a race. Professional sprinters are still accelerating at that point.

    Like I said, you are no better for you sarcastic comment about his contributions to the community.

    State your opinion, and as per the code of the values of the site you so cherish, do not launch any personal attacks yourself.

    Then why are you trying to tell me what to say?

    My opinion is that no one should tell others what to think or say; I respect your opinions, but telling me not to stand up for my community's standards is hypocritical at best.

    Guys, take a minute to breathe and relax. This Ted Ginn stuff is gets pretty ridiculous, I mean he is a Miami Dolphin. Do I personally get aggravated with him and think we need to find a true dominating number 1 wide receiver? Yes. But at the same time every Sunday I hope he turns that page and becomes a star. Why? Because he is a dolphin and I want all of our players to succeed. At the very least I hope he doesn't screw up to create a million we hate Ted threads. Also if he becomes a star it saves us a draft pick or a lot of FA money.

    As far as the bickering you guys take it too seriously. I understand you are die hard fans, and I am as well, but that's no reason to get in pissing matches with people on the forums. It serves no good, except to raise the blood pressure, and it gets you no where. It's the same are arguing with little brats on x-box live, you can scream and yell all you want but it doesn't change anything.

    Also this forum prides itself on being better than finheaven.com, but in reality it's stuff like this that makes it just like it. And Nabo you've been a huge poster and contributer at finheaven and here and I respect your opinion, but I say this with all due respect. You are going a little overboard here man.

    Enough with the bickering.

    If you're in favor of open discussion, then you must accept the right of people to express displeasure about a thread, its content or topic. As long as it's civil and within reason of course.

    Lets not go overboard here.

    No it isn't.

    As has been the mantra here and at the old house, we strongly discourage calling out other members. Rather, you report it to the staff and let us handle it.

    This is spelled out in the site rules.
