    Probably not. I’m not saying it was some personal shot, but rather that I find it weird that legitimate calls for Price to be fired are now being tied in with joke threads (there was the Riggleman one too) about how a new manager needs to be fired.

    You are being oversensitive on this.
    If there were any complaints for Price being fired (I don't remember any, but there probably were some), it was in the vast minority.
    Sure, there were defenders of Price at first, but that guy long overstayed his welcome.
    No one is taking a shot at you, relax.

    Time to move on. The new meat just isn't a good fit. He had his chance.

    I don’t think anyone is taking a shot at Servo per se.

    But it is a tradition to try to get in on the ground floor when it comes to dismissing managers and players. Servo’s thread (I don’t even know that Tom was an early Price hater) which history will smile upon was just an easy point of reference for the satire.

    But look carefully guys...seeds are being planted for future “I told you so’s.”

    Right. And look, I don't feel slighted or anything, I'm just bummed that what I think was a valid, boring thread title is what has become a only tangentially-related meme, when "loser and a dummy" and "little baby bird brains" are right there.

    It's no different than someone hiring a coach in football or basketball and starting a "FireSoandSo.com" website. We're just poking fun at ourselves as RedsZoners and sports fans.

    I certainly wasn't taking a shot at Servo. Just maintaining a RZ Meme that has now vitually become canon.

    Just thought I would give this a little bump since I believe people will soon start searching for it.

    A poll would be nice. I'm curious to see the level of discontent. Four-plus years of Price has taken a toll.
