cameroncrazie07 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Forget Jones, f-ing Romo needs cutting this week. His idiot-face far surpasses Eli Manning. Seriously, all he did was throw up his hands like "Aww, shucks".I have been searching the web for like an hour now to find this because I know exactly what you're talking about, if you or anyone has a pic of it please send it my way. I'd love to make it my avatar. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 You know what I hate about fantasy football? Everything.I loathe fantasy football. It's turned fistpumping, popped-collar douches into armchair NFL analysts. "OMG, Player X's injury is going to ruin my fantasy team, bro!" has become the new "Oh crap, Player X's injury is going to make me lose my parlay for sure, man!"

AnythingChicago Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Oh, look who's reffing the Ravens-Jets game. The same goddamn crew that did Packers-Bears last week. I'm tempted to take the 20 minute drive to Baltimore right now, run on the field, and kick that son of a Mike Carey squarely in his sack.So if some hooligan does that at some point in this game, well, that person is me.

thespleenenator Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 There is way too much emphasis on winning when determining how good a player is. There are players who everyone calls great and has very mediocre stats, but are considered great because they are "winners" who have "guts". That's absolute bull. Quaterbacks like that aren't winners because they're good. It's because they're team is good. George Blanda is a great example. The guy threw 277 picks, as opposed to 236 touchdowns. That's terrible. The only reason he's in the hall of fame is because his teams won. Put him on a worse team, and those interception numbers increase, and he's not even close to a hall of famer. The only reason I cold see him still being there is because he was a great kicker, but as a QB he was less than stellar. Then you have David Krieg. He put up some great stats, but isn't in the Hall of Fame because he was a "loser". An even better example would be Randall Cunningham. The dude was a monster, but because he mostly played (with some exceptions, like when the Vikings went 15-1) on bad teams, he's not in the hall. There's also John Brodie, who many people have never heard of because his teams mostly sucked. Now, this isn't to say players can't have great stats and win. Look at Payton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana and the such. But SB wins should not a reason to be in the Hall of Fame. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

"OMG, Player X's injury is going to ruin my fantasy team, bro!" has become the new "Oh crap, Player X's injury is going to make me lose my parlay for sure, man!"Agreed, and I hate how its begun to creep into conventional football analysis. I don't really care that Danny Amendola's reinjured arm means Bradford's fantasy stats are going to go down. I want to know how the Rams are going to cope with this.Answer BTW: Not Well At All.

Even people who think stats are for losers can agree that he was a product of a great team, not a great skill set. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.
