  1. I've been using Imgur to host my concept images for years, but I'm pretty unhappy with whatever it is they've recently changed to. Now whenever I try to upload anything, I get a pop up telling me my image is too big. Is anybody else running into this? And is there another site I can use that will just let me upload my images so I can post them here? I'm old and hate change. Why can't everything just stay the same? The next time some friggin' site makes an update "to improve user experience" that actually improves my experience, will be the first time.
  2. The Titans are by no means “a few tweaks from being good”. They need a few dozen tweaks just to approach below average. Their current uniforms are an absolute disaster, fighting neck and neck with the Commies for the bottom of the NFL barrel. The Cardinals might give me hope from a design standpoint… the individual uniforms elements are pretty good ( or at least tolerable) but the combination choices are moronic.
  3. I haven’t watched them much this year but the Ravens seem absolutely packed with jackasses
  4. Holy crap, that was a hell of a cheap shot. Piece of garbage.
  5. Wait… you hate the Minnesota Vikings? That’s hilarious! That’s like hating…. I don’t know, like the Indiana Pacers, or old Scooby Doo reruns. Or your four year old nephew who occasionally says annoying things. What could the Vikings have possibly done to the fans of any other team to create the least amount of offense?
  6. Yeah, he’s the “hottest hire” if you’re glued to ESPN during the morning gasbag blather fest. They’ll move on soon.
  7. I think I can speak for most Vikings fans when I say that, as far as some other team besides the Vikings winning the division, the Lions are by far the least upsetting option.
  8. This is absolutely true. The Seahawks went from the team I considered my “second” during their royal blue and Kelly green years (despite the fact that they mostly sucked) to one of my least favorite teams when they started wearing depressing pajamas and basically infected the entire league with their horrible mono aesthetic.
  9. I'm just patiently waiting for the day when my favorite team becomes so successful that everyone has to make up excuses as to why their hatred for them is so justified. I should live so long.
  10. Viking fans like to point out that there was a small four year window when a team could win the NFL championship while still losing the superbowl but, trust me, nobody wants to hear it.
  11. The NFLs rules about changing uniform designs are all about money. They don’t want to make any design obsolete too quickly. The Jets just debuted and manufactured a crap ton of these very popular jerseys. They’re still on sale right now. I’m going to assume that if they say they’re switching to this legacy jersey, that’s exactly what they’ll do.
  12. Houston vs. Baltimore Green Bay vs. San Francisco Tampa Bay vs. Detroit Kansas City vs. Buffalo
  13. When you mentioned 16 seeds, I thought you were talking about NCAA basketball also.
  14. Im just curious… you’ve said this a few times this season. I’m not looking for a fight but what makes you keep saying this? How were things lined up for the Cowboys more than any other playoff team? They had some impressive games (mostly against weaker teams at home) and also struggled a bit. Kind of normal better than average NFL team stuff. What did you think was lining up?
  15. I hate both these teams. I guess I could let myself feel bad because the Packers are going to win, but instead I’ll just be happy that the Cowboys are going down in such a humiliating fashion. What an epic embarrassment.
  16. Nothing is more predictable than you coming on here and whining about something.
  17. As a general concept I’m in complete support of a college athlete taking control of his future as much as possible. That being said, Caleb Williams strikes me as a bit of a douche , and I’m not going to be surprised if he’s a bust.
  18. It all just reminds me of time on here when we were discussing a new NBA city-whatever uniform, and someone decided that I was being intentionally obtuse because I said I didn’t know that apparently every third street in Atlanta is named Peachtree. But in truth I really didn’t know that. But much much more importantly I didn’t… and don’t… care what local significance Peachtree has. Because once again, it’s stupid. So yes, I know how many feet are in a mile. But the very idea of sticking it on the uniform of a national brand sports team makes me want to; A. Play dumb to not give them the satisfaction, and… B. Punch them in the face for being way less clever than they think they are.
  19. Or maybe we just…. Don’t care.
  20. If you walked up to me on the street and asked me how many feet were in a mile I’d tell you 5280. But if you randomly showed me a sports uniform that had that number on it, I don’t know that I’d immediately make the connection that that’s how many feet were in a mile, and that team is therefore from a city that’s a mile above sea level and blah blah… Because it’s stupid.
  21. Yeah, as a non-Lions fan living in Detroit, I can tell you, although locally everyone is guzzling the Dan Campbell kool aide, I do believe it’s only a matter of time until his in game decisions cost them a game. (Actually, in his first couple of seasons it already did.). I get why right now the DC love is enormous… he got them a division championship, he’s a funny goofball you’d want to have a beer with, the players would run thru a wall for him, he totally flipped the team culture. BUT… my assumption was at this point he’d learn a few lessons about when to be a river boat gambler and when to be an NFL coach and play it straight. He seems incapable. He is who he is. I’m not expecting him to rewrite his risky script completely, but come on… sometimes you gotta be smarter. Going for 2 for the win in Dallas was a great call and they certainly seemed to get screwed on the call. But at that point it’s a 2 point conversion from the 8. Just kick for the tie, dummy. He was just so frustrated by the call it became a stubborn “I’ll show you” moment. He let his emotions take over. Because of that dumb tough guy decision, they got what was coming to them. And eventually it’ll happen again.
