LandJGroup Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think the family would have stuck together and walked if Phil was removed, contract or not. Yes these guys are educated and entrepreneurs but they are businessmen, used to promoting and selling there product and brand. But they're not used to showbiz and its a whole other beast. If this was a publicity stunt it sure wasnt set up by Phil. This PC stuff has gone too far. IMO groups like Gladd and Jessy Jackson Rainbow Coalition latch onto well known people who say things that they think are offensive. These groups embrace these statements, complaining as loud as possible in an attempt to get money & promote their brand Believe me this was not a pub stunt. Like your saying. I've heard Phill speak several times live and let's just say he is extremely opinionated. Which he has expressed publicly his whole life. Grant it his stage is a whole lot bigger now. I was actually surprised he didn't piss off more liberals much sooner. I also agree their bluff with AandE. They all respect Phill and know he is the face of their brand. You know they also have buck commander. Another successful company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree. In a very perverted way I might add. Phill and J.j. In the same sentence. lol Phil is a man's man. While j.j. is a pimp of his own b.s. that he actually believes. Almost cult like. At the end of the day Phill is respected amongst the informed while J.J. ,and other like minded are loved by the tools of our society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Phil was playing that game,he just answered a question. I think his intention was not to incite and inflame anybody for money and that is the difference.

jerry1973 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 "LandJGroup: They had a million dollar company way before any of there shows. I'm a avid duck Hunter and about everyone pre duck dynasty had one of their calls or clothing line. In all honesty from what I've gathered Phill hates the show because it takes away from hunting/woods time. He still lives in the same house he always had. Very humble man." The truth is that A&E needs duck dynasty more than duck dynasty needs A&E. I heard somewhere where duck dynasty is the most viewed cable tv series in the history of cable television. Phil Robertson don't care about the money, he even turned down an NFL Quarterback career in his earlier days (Terry Bradshaw was PHIL's Backup at Louisiana Tech). The Robertson clan are humble and simple, and had plenty of money before duck dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I love the show. Even though I disagree with most of the "message", I view it simply as entertainment. I also love how this topic is creating a spike in traffic to the site. It seems that people just can't get enough of this controversy so they are resorting to reading about it on a vending forum. Fine by me! Let me also add this to the mix... http://www.cbsnews.com/news/is-ae-walking-a-fine-line-over-duck-dynastys-phil-robertson/ --Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The truth is that A&E needs duck dynasty more than duck dynasty needs A&E. "Need" is a strong word. Neither party needs the other. DD may not care about their fame and might be quite happy to return to their normal lives. However, A&E was around long before the DD show came about and will be here long after DD is off the air. A network with decades of industry experience and airing in countries all around the globe like A&E knows the hottest iron rarely stays hot for long. The network will be fine long after the DD fad dies. And that could happen at any time. This time next year Christmas shoppers may be hard pressed to find DD memorabilia on the shelf AND just as hard pressed to find anyone that wants it as a gift. TV viewers are very fickle...and once you are no longer "in" you are OUT. And Networks know this. No specific show is a long term investment for them.

jerry1973 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 no doubt that duck dynasty tv show has a limited shelf life, but the Robertson family was fine before the show, and will be fine after the show. Phil was simply stating his opinion and he could care less who hears it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AandE will be upping their pay very soon. The fact is Willy is the drive in that family. Phill still lives in the same house he has had for years. Cool guy Who do you recommend ordering from for your 1" and 2" Duck Dynasty products? stickers? Flat line. They have two inch now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, DD could easily go to another channel if A&E dropped them right now (assuming no contract obligations or other litigation that would prevent a move). Wonder which QB threw more wobbly ducks at L-Tech? Pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
