Darrell Green Fan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 How hard is this? This is our GM, the man who showed us what a 3-13 press conference looked like. The man who could not have bungled the SM situation last spring any worse. Are we supposed to believe he made an offer reflective of the market when he STILL can not pronounce his starting QB's name? There is no hope...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Green Fan Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hey this is my first ES thread. It's also a place for me to vent, participation is optional. Don't say negative things, it will just force me to go on Twitter nightly and complain that people are saying mean things about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I saw some posts today saying that's just the certain southern (or whatever) accent that Bruce Allen has, where he leaves off the "k" so it sounds like Kurt but he's actually saying Kirk. Now, whether that's true or not, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else it has been pointed out to him repeatedly, is it not too much to make sure you get it right in your most important statement in years?

I've heard him say Kurt a lot of times, and it doesn't seem like just his way of talking. It's gotta be on purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 If you are trying to sign your starting QB why would you do something as annoying as getting his name wrong on purpose? Either he is an idiot for that or an idiot for making sure it doesn't happen as you explain you side of the story. It may be a little thing but it's indicative of the bigger problem.

I didn't mean like, literally on purpose, I meant as in like as in he knows he's saying Kurt, but too stupid to find out how to actually say his name (meaning it's not a mistake). Not trying to say he doesn't care that he's saying it incorrectly. Just that he's stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, whether that's true or not, I have no idea. An accent where you can't pronounce "K"s? Hmmm. Sounds questionable. Could easily test that theory by asking him, "What's the meat that comes from pigs, Bruce?" If he responds with, "Port," I might be inclined to agree with this thesis. Of course the guy knows his name is "Kirk." But the truth is, he's a Lazy, Stupid, Incompetent Buffoon, and it's much easier for members of the LSIB community to just turn that "K" into a "T." It requires less effort, and when it comes to Bruce Allen, every brain cell is crucial to maintain even minimum functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is that they recorded it and posted it on the website without anyone first going "Hmmm, maybe we should clear up these Kurt's in there." The whole accent excuse is BS too. He clearly keeps saying Kurt throughout that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
