"As bad as we want the domino's of life too fall, the first one has to be pushed..."

First of all, what he meant to say was "as bad as we DON'T
want the dominos to fall".

Secondly,he misapplied the apostrophe in "domino's".
this is a mistake which grade schoolers make. There is no
possessive apostrophe in a plural objective. Terrible.
You missed a space after the comma that follows 'Secondly'.

See how easy it is to make a typo?

Lol at jumping down someone's throat for making gramatical erros on Twitter. Give me a break.

If Jeff Green took any English courses in college or
even in high school, he obviously did not pay attention.
The guy knows about as much about English as any 5th grader.

May I expound, I also do not want this player on our team.
I do not believe he has proven ANYTHING. I do not like his
style of play. He is weak. He plays like a girl. He has no gumption. He will be an overpaid dissapointment.


Have you been drinking?:) No, officer!

exactly your type of attitude drives people like Ray away from Boston. I hope I didn't mispell anything.

I believe that what he wrote was exactly what he meant.  When he says "we want the domino's to fall," he's is making a comment about people wishing that hard decisions can be made easily and that everything will fall in to place on its own.  He is recognizing that this isn't always the case, and sometimes you have to take a chance, make the first move, and hope everything follows after that.

I don't know what he's saying about which domino he is going to push, though.  

  Berate him all you want for his misapplication of an apostrophe in a tweet.  Grammar can be corrected.   I found the message to be thought provoking.  To me, that's more important when I'm reading a piece of writing.

I'll spare you the corrections on your own grammar.  I may have made some errors myself.

WoW! People really ripping him for a couple mistakes on a tweet? Not like he was writing an article about it. 10 second tweet people if that. I have huge respect for the guy finishing school, taking his health n stride and staying with a tea that he doesn't have to be with for most of the season. And yet thats not good enough for people, that they have to belittle a guy for no real reason. Pathetic....

It was just the one person here.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the support he's getting (despite this being quite a petty thing to fight over).

This.

It's sad the lengths people go to in order to feel better about themselves.

Yes, I agree with your interpretation. I think Jeff was somehow trying to say he was hoping to resign with the Cs with everyone who was on last season's squad.

I have as much a right to express my opinion as
any ra-ra on here. $40 million dollars is a lot of
money to spend on someone who is questionable in
many areas. Good Day.

If your opinion is ignorant insults like "plays like a girl" good day indeed.

Why don't you play him in a 1-on-1 game, and bet your house on it?

We'll see if you still have your house after the game...
