This was your argument, that I was jealous of Neal because he makes more money than I do. Do you stand by that argument, that I am jealous of how much money he makes or that other fans that are critical are jealous of how much money he makes. Ludicrous, with about as much connection to reality as an allegation that James Neal pays you to defend him.
But that is the level of discouse sometimes when someone is critical of a player on the Flames. The same way fans do not have to be on the take to defend Neal they can also be critical of him and not be jealous of how much money he makes or have him run over their dog.
I myself have seen enough to be pretty sure that Neal will not figure it out, that he will not score at a 20 goal a year pace over the 5 years with the Flames, that at the end of the day it is going to be somewhere between a bad and terrible contract. Not sure that makes me jelous of how much money he makes or any less of a Flames fan than anyone else on this board. I have even developed the ability to chat about this failing and be very pleased that they traded for an elite forward and a soon to be top 2 dman in the offseason.
