Well...at least good olé idiot Chad has enough balls to list his name. And last time I checked, you my friend, have never graced the upper level management halls of any company. That's probably why you won't or will never list your name. Usually those guys who "have balls," are the ones that take risk, make hard decisions or start companies. So let's give you a nickname....hmmmm..let's see....oh, I have it! Let's call you "Mr. Pessimistic, will be a rep forever Zimmer guy". Now that we have established that, I think you can now tell us the real reason why you are so down on this deal. Come on, just tell us how you know how to run a company better than the people that are in place. I'm sure that's what you are dying to say..right? I mean, I'm sure you have an MBA from like Whorton Business School, Right? I'm sure you are dealing with large business transactions that effect many families and financial stability of a small town on a daily basis. So, can we at least agree that those guys would not have signed this deal if they thought that it wouldn't clear FTC and the EU? Oh my friend, I think I'm pretty much spot on. So look..everyone has their Place in the world....your happens to be in sales...which is great! Just let these guys do what they do and let the chips fall where they may. I know you were probably "the man" in high school..you were probably that guy who walked around hitting freshman on the heads with your class ring. You're also probably that guy who talks about the good olé days when you creating domination on the field against the rival high school!!! Look man, don't be that guy that gets on these blogs and pretend that you are some kind of steve jobs. Just stick to what you know and that's probably sales! Again, that a great attribute.....be proud of that, but don't get on this blog and try to denigrate people who are trying to see something positive in this acquisition. Don't be the guy that sucks the wind out of every room you walk in! Really what I'm saying is: don't be "Mr. Pessimistic, will be a rep forever, Zimmer Guy!" You're better than that!
