    Grigson is a Genius

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    To be fair the definition of a genius is somewhat open, if you strictly on say IQ (one of the worse quotients ever invented!) then it's not as hard as you'd imagine to be classified as one. 

     

    Your point is taken though, he's doing a good job, a very good job IMO but genius might be the hyperbole too far :)

    I appreciate your ability to understand, friend. I mentioned the possible interpretation of the word "genius" as it pertains to intelligence in a later post. 

    Out of curiosity (in the sense that I myself value it for many different reasons, having an elite one myself), what is your problem with IQ?

    Grigson is a Genius

    I never said he was, but I think of a lot of people as geniuses. One that comes to mind is Marshall mathers. I think he's a lyrical genius.

    The premise wasn't whether or not you thought Ryan Grigson was a genius. The premise was whether or not "genius" had to do with science.

    You may very well be right in the sense that Eminem is a lyrical genius. But in order to say he is, you need to be able to explain it for it to make sense. Just saying it, because you feel a connection to his lyrics doesn't make him a genius. More likely, it means his style of communicating with you was successful. 

    If you can deduce why Eminem is a lyrical genius with basis in logic and knowledge, it's scientific per definition. I'm not saying he is or he isn't. I'm saying the foundation of saying it, if it is to be true, has to be scientific by definition based on my understanding of the word "genius".

    Why do you think genius has to only do with science?

    To someone with autism like myself (with the emotional capacity of a newborn), everything that can in any way be calculated stipulates "science".

    Whether Ryan Grigson is a genius or not can be tested, the same way gravity can:

    Hypothesis: Ryan Grigson is a genius.

    1. Define: What does Genius mean:

    For the sake of argument, let's just say it means: exceptional intellectual ability, creativity or originality.

    While we cannot prove our hypothesis, we can attempt to disprove it. If we can't disprove it, we can call it a theory, and accept it as fact.

    I want to ask you: How do you know Ryan Grigson is a genius, based on the signing of Hakeem Nicks. If we construct the argument as we did above, it's unlikely that you'd have the ability to reason with the number of variables surrounding the situation. Call it the "science of football", which would include a terrific understanding of at least: Human physiology, marketing, economics, business and psychology. (I could probably go on for hours).

    I mean: How do you know Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne and Hakeem Nicks didn't travel to the moon to hold a secret meeting in which Reggie said he was to retire next year and that Hakeem could take over his role by then. Thus took this idea to Ryan Grigson, who immediately agreed.

    Of course, the above imaginative experiment is rather awkward, and obviously not true. But we can imagine it, so at the very least it's a hypothetical possibility.

    What I'm saying is: Even if Ryan Grigson managed to sign Nr. Nicks, there are an almost infinite amount of variables to be deduced. Something I doubt anyone here using the word "genius" has made an actual attempt of doing. As such, the word becomes devalued, which I find sad, when I believe it was originally intended to describe the greatest minds of our history. Minds such as Einstein, Freud, Machiavelli, Plato, Marx and so on.

    While Ryan Grigson hypothetically may fall into this category: I find it unlikely that he does. And even if he is a genius, we do not have the data to thoroughly discuss it yet. Bill Belichick might be one. Vince Lombardi might be one. Ryan Grigson, a 3rd year NFL GM?

    Please...

    I dislike how almost everyone in this thread will state their opinion about a player without a logical argument to support it.

    I'd have hoped this thread had more strategic and physiological insight rather than a bunch of trivialities.

    spoiled we are.

    Doesnt matter what happens it could always be worse. ( we could be a browns or raiders fan)

    Do you think their fans feel worse about their respective teams relative to how we feel about the Colts?

    If that was your meaning, I'm not entirely convinced of its validity. ;)

    So nobody wanted Decker but a lazy player who couldnt even have a decent year when he was playing for a contract is fine.  Wow the football IQ is just incredible round here some days.  If he had even shown some interest last season I would be ok with it.  If we sign him I hope I am so so wrong.

     

    Either way go colts

    1. Opened this thread for all the wrong reasons with a sly smile.
    2. Realized the most likely outcome of any of my "humorous" thoughts being posted here would result in a ban.
    3. Poured a glass of whisky, drank it while pausing my writing and staring blankly into a wall.
    4. Realized I was writing a post on colts.com
    5. Poured another glass of whisky. 
    6. Realized I'm about to get drunk, and that the best outcome for everybody is that I leave.
    7. Realized there's about a 50% chance I remember this thread in a not so distant future and come back to create anarchy.

    Moral of the story: Lock the thread or ban my account. Do it quickly!
     

     

     

    8. Realized there's about a 50% chance that I don't remember the thread and have passed out cold near the general toilet area of my house.
    9. Realized it's monday.
    10. Charming. Am I right, girls?!

    Soccer would be much better if the incrementally increased the size of the goals until average soccer scores are in the double digits.  Watching a game with a score like 2-1 or even worse 1-0 is excruciating.

    this is what i have been saying for years. Make the goals big enough were there is an average of 10 goals a game.

    There are so many things, Americans just don't understand.... ;)

    i never questioned the intelligence of the thread, nor did I say I was more intelligent than others who enjoy this thread.  I just stated that "I" think the thread is stupid.   

     

    You say "let people do as they want, as long as no one gets hurt."  but yet you tell me (am I not people?) not to do as I want.  I hurt no one.  I called no ones actions stupid....just this thread.  That is my opinion.  I never said others were less than me for not agreeing.  I also find me having to say this stupid.

    Sure, you're "people". Whether someone gets hurt or not is subject to interpretation. In this sense, interpretation based on what you wrote, calling the thread stupid. Stupidity in the dictionary would be defined as an implied lack of intelligence. So those two are undoubtedly interconnected by definition, even if your subjective interpretation of the word differs from the objective interpretation. Which means that by calling the thread stupid, it's logical (through logical inductive reasoning) to assume you meant to call the thread "a lack of intellect". While this is not proof (logical induction doesn't serve as proof, it merely refers to probability and is thus inconclusive). It would be not be illogical to assume this is what you meant, considering I don't know you, and your action appear similar to the motivation known as self-preservance (boosting one's self by the reduction of others).

    Now, again, I'm not saying it is or it isn't. I'm saying through logical inductive reasoning, that there's a probability of it being true, due to the factors explained above. As such, my interpretation of what you wrote would be that it is "demeaning".

    As for "no one gets hurt": If you're calling someone or something stupid, the subject may respond or not respond to this stimuli (he might have no regard for your opinion and thus not care one bit). If you call someone or some activity that someone engages in stupid, it's more than likely than not, that they'll take offense, due to their subjective understanding of your actions. In this case, calling the thread stupid, implies that people who participate in the action or actions of the thread, are of lesser intellect, due to the implied objective definition of the word stupidty, and the natural deduction of your action based on how the subject interprets it. Whether a person would find this hurtful, would of course be subject to the person's subjective interpretation, but knowing human beings, it's likely they would take offense, and by logical reasoning, we can induce that this is likely to occur.

    You may not have had ill intentions, but that doesn't mean the action through the variety of other subjects' interpretation wouldn't consider your action (calling something stupid) negative, and thus hurtful. They most likely would - and that was the point I was trying to make. Of course my motivation might also simply be to boost my own ego through intellectual superiority. How does one ever really know?

    really??? the off season can be boring.... but we have resorted to picking a song to represent our 2013 season??  

     

    im sorry in advance, but to be completely honest, i think this is stupid.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    yes, i know i clicked the topic... it wont happen again.  i say good day.

    It may be "stupid" to you or I, it may not. But even if it is: People are not born of identical intellect.

    If you're in fact one of these people of higher intellect, why not show the capacity to acknowledge this, and not judge people for their lesser intellect and "stupid" actions?

    Calling something stupid is demeaning, however you choose to look at it. Nothing postive can come of this. Let people do what they want, as long as no one gets hurt. And as you pointed out yourself, you could just ignore the thread.

    (And I'm not talking about you solely, just pointing out a general problem with people on this forum who consider themselves intelligent (as do we all). I mean, unless it's against the rules of the board, and the forum isn't flooded with spam that weeds out more important topics: What exactly is there to gain by calling the actions of other people stupid other than have it serve as self-validation of your ego)?

    Andrew Luck is the best QB in the NFL?

    Seattle has the best defense ever in the history of the NFL. Don't care what anyone says, that's my story & I'm sticking with it.

    Completely shutdown Peyton Manning.

    Also, I believe Peyton should retire this off-season. That was flat out embarrassing. Break all those records & win multiple awards just to get smacked on worldwide television

    I'm guessing you're an expert on the 1985 Bears and the 2000 Ravens to be able to make this judgement, right?
