imo the evidence is that coaches and other football personnel often dont reveal their true thoughts, sometimes for a competitive advantage and sometimes just to be nice.

Just because someone supposedly has heard and seen every bit of information that the media has put out for our consumption (coaches interviews, player interviews, GM interviews, etc.), it doesn't mean you really know what is true and what is not. You cannot say you are right and everyone else is wrong. It's all opinions on how we think it all works. We can be right or we can be wrong! Not one poster on this board knows for sure.


The first precept was never to accept a thing as true until I knew it as such without a single doubt.

Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have....

First off no one said what you are saying.

Here's what got said.

We have ample accounts, from the participants and outside reporters, how they set up their draft process. (That doesn't include players.) And that's to this day, so it includes Wade and McVay too. It's the same now as it was. We know that.

Notice the very specific narrow focus: how they set up their draft process. I don;t know what you think you read, but that's what was said.

Now, if they have lied about that for going on to 7 years now...don't you think we would know?

They even trained McVay and Wade to repeat the same lies?

That's a pretty elaborate conspiracy theory.

So can you think of any evidence at all that 7 years of saying the same things about their draft process is some kind of elaborately sustained lie?

I think it's just common sense because there's no big thing to hide.

Like many teams, they settle all disputes when setting up the ranked board before the draft, and stick with the board.

Where exactly in that lurks some dark mystery to be exposed?
