Pope Saint Innocent I was pope from 401 to March 12 417.

He was, according to his biographer in the Liber Pontificalis, the son of a man called Innocens of Albano; but according to his contemporary Jerome, his father was Pope Anastasius I (399-401), whom he was called by the unanimous voice of the clergy and laity to succeed (he had been born before his father's entry to the clergy, let alone the papacy).

There were also Popes Innocent II through XIII. I think by the time XIII was released, the styling had gotten stale and the quality of assembly was poor, and the line was discontinued after that.

Sometimes, though, the message board is right (even with its limited information) and management is wrong.

Draft Chris Paul over Webster.
Start Aldridge over Magloire.
Start Pippen at PG (and Damon at the far end of the bench).
Use Zach at PF and Sheed at C.
Don't pay big money to Theo Ratliff.
Zach and Rahim can't co-exist.
Portland can't "get out and run" with Nate as coach.
Take a flyer on drafting DeJuan Blair.

These were all pretty popular themes on the board that ran counter to what management seemed to think (or at least say publicly). But time proved us right.

Now you can also find a bunch of examples where the fans here are wrong (Draft the Stache!). I'm not saying we're always right.

But just given these examples off the top of my head, it's pretty clear to me that it's not arrogant to second-guess management even with our limited knowledge. They see a lot of things we don't, but I think sometimes we see some things they don't too.

great post

I would love for you to show me a single time that I have questioned Joel Przybilla's intelligence. Joel isn't a dumb guy. I have no idea where you got that.

You're right. I have said Outlaw is less than sharp. Spend more than ten minutes talking to the guy and you get back to me with your opinion.

Oh, and I didn't "blog" about the team. Thanks.

I'm going to find it when I have the time. You did mention Joel's intelligence.

Edit - Too much searching, and I don't really care. If you say you didn't post it, that's good enough for me, I believe you.

I love your hypocritical "decorum" in the telling others of what is respectful.


I too can laugh at your pretentious smugness. And no, I'm not trying to be respectful.

I think he's telling the forum what he considers respectful, not what "is" respectful.

Indeed. The end of the Innocents.

So that's what that song is about.
