He said, correctly, that the players weren't going to say anything bad about Skinner and that they probably did learn something from him.
How is this for starters...it is fucking apsurd that every single negative comment written about Skinner is 100% true but anything remotely positive or in Skinner's defense one of you jackasses makes some excuse for why it can't be true. Unfuckingbelievable.
Another one with reading comprehension issues....I never said it wasn't true...I basically just said take it with a grain of salt.
Take it with a grain of salt is essentially saying it is not true.
Oh, and this isn't the first time, it's with everything written in the press.
No it means that regardless of what he feels he is not going to say something negative so you can't take it as gospel. I am not saying its not true I am simply saying you can just assume it is the complete story. I don't know Reggie and have no idea how he feels. What I do know is if he had something negative to say he would not say it now. My guess is like most people, he hasees positives and negatives with Al and now he is focused on the positives, and rightly so.
However, as Teddy pointed out, given the sincerety with the rest of his statements, you can easily conclude that he was being honest and not just "trying not to kick the guy in the ass on his way out."
Personally I am making no conclusions. That was my point. As I said, I think that he did learn things from Al, so yes what he was saying is true, but I don't think you can assume that's the whole picture becuase if there were negatives to go along with it he would obviously leave them out. TREs implication was this statement by Jackson negated all of the negative things that have been said about Al and that is all I was refuting. Not sure why your panties are all in a bunch over it.
