I've been to a lot of games, and 90% of this stuff, you can't actually see, because some yokel stands up in front of you, or, like 90% of the people in the stadium, you're too far away.
See who is on the sideline? For real? Most people can't even read their numbers from where they're...
Its really easy to make an argument when you just redefine terms as you see fit.
When the Patriots went to 2 WR sets, Gaffney came off the field, and Welker moved to SE. That means Welker is the WR2.
Speaking for hate groups. Encouraging intolerance. He's not a good guy. He's a bigoted fanatic.
There's plenty of reasons to wish ill will on him, and most of them are being driven by his religious beliefs.
Its as much "not his fault" as it was not Brett Favre's fault. You don't get to say "its not me" when you're a borderline NFL player calling weekly press conferences to talk about yourself.
Its not his fault that the media eats it up, but he's certainly feeding into it.
That I agree with.
When someone says that the fact that they lost the superbowl is a sign of some fatal flaw, or some sort of lack, its a whole lot of silly. You win some, you lose some, even if you're the best.
NFL players make significantly less than MLB players, so its not surprising that their pensions are less.
Again, this is something that the NFLPA has continuously fought against. 22-35 year olds place much more importance on getting paid now vs getting paid 35 years from now.
Who are we...
He started 7 games, and got better as the season went on. Then he lost his job because Peyton Manning hit the FA market. There's probably 25 starting QBs who the same thing could have happened to.
He never played in NY because he had contract escalators that the jets literally could not...
The NFLPA has made it perfectly clear that getting money right now is more important than having a better pension plan (although the NFL pension is very good).
More money later would mean less money now, and the NFLPA wants nothing to do with that.
Agree here. And there's no way for us to tell what's in Collie's best interest. Maybe braining himself to make a couple more million and finish setting his family up for several generations is worth it to him.
Plenty of people risk their lives to provide for their families, and plenty of...
I assume no such thing.
The only thing I assume is that the best team isn't going to win every game. At best, a team has about a 75% chance of winning a specific game, and every playoff game is lower than that. That means you're going to lose some.
This is basic probability. The Red Sox...
This. Every year, the Patriots defense is bad at the beginning of the season, and rounding into decent by playoff time. Every year the Pats offense is fantastic, and then ****s the bed at some point in the playoffs.
The defense is a product of them spending the majority of their Salary cap...
The only reason the media continued to do that is that Rex continued to feed them newsworthy soundbites. The jets are a poorly managed organization, and thats the big story there.
The Patriots, like usual, will feed them nothing.
I realize this is a sig, and not a thread post, but it may be the dumbest thing I've read on this forum, and I needed to point that out.
The idea that the winningest team in football over the last decade has some sort of talent and effort gap is utterly absurd.
If all 12 playoff teams...
Agree.
It would make a much better statement to not pretend there's a QB controversy here. There's not.
Tebow will be lucky if he makes the team, and if he does, his most useful skill is probably going to be as the scout QB.
The idea that players who receive free $200K+ education/housing/food packages are "uncompensated" is patently absurd.
College athletes are compensated better than about 80% of the employed populace of this country. $50K a year is pretty decent.
