I want Baldy to break down film of my life at my funeral. "Look at the arm on this guy when he throws his nachos at the TV after a turnover. See how the guacamole is just perfectly positioned as it runs down the center of the screen? That's accuracy folks." "Everyone's always focused on the WR when you have a long bomb for a TD, but let's take a look at the action away from the ball. See this guy row 3, seat 7, section 42? Look at the way he comes out of that seat, nachos flying off his lap onto the heads of the lame ass wine and cheesers in front of him. Look at the extension all the way through his legs as he jumps in the air, perfect form, perfect balance coming straight back down in that tiny space, and finishes it off with a big bear hug of the probably total stranger next to him. You love to see that kind of commitment to the celebration." "This guy doesn't get enough credit for the way he does the dirty work away from the game. I'm gonna back the film up on the CCTV at Wal Mart so we can watch him trip this little old lady in a Saints jersey. Now here's the part I love, the part most people miss. Your eye is on the little old lady, but watch the way he whips that leg around to round house kick the 8 year old wearing a Tom Brady Bucs jersey in the face. That's a thing of beauty."

You're entitled to your opinion about Brady, I'm entitled to mine. After Brady's career of borish, self entitled behavior complicit with multiple cheating scandals, you'll just have to get over your self-righteousness at my appalling lack of high minded restraint where Brady is concerned. Twenty years I had to watch this prick whine and bitch and moan like a what, what's the right word? Oh yeah, a fuging child every time he got touched or looked at, or spoken to harshly by the other team, and the refs and league coddled and protected him like over indulgent parents. Meanwhile my QB gets blatantly and obviously headhunted during the fuging Super Bowl and the rest of his shortened career. Helmet to helmet hits go ignored while one of the league's most senior refs is caught on mic telling him he's not old enough to get that call? WTF is that poo? His throwing shoulder is destroyed by an obvious and blatant dirty hit that results in a slap on the wrist fine to the offending player. Meanwhile Brady's uniform hardly ever even gets dirty. Did you ever stop to think about the fact that over the course of Brady's career, Patriots offensive linemen, often late round or undrafted players, seem to look like world beaters while they block for him, but the moment they get traded or cut and wind up on another roster, don't seem to be nearly so effective? It's obvious to a blind man that other team's pass rushers, in relentless drive to bring down other QB's seem to all but give up when trying to get to Brady, lest they draw another absurd penalty that hurts their team. The only team seemingly allowed to genuinely knock him around? The Giants, the team just down the block from league headquarters and the one widely known to be the team of choice for most NFL HQ employees. When the Giants were actually allowed to go after Brady in the playoffs, suddenly he didn't seem quite so much like the GOAT, did he? So forgive me if I don't have the most enlightened, humanitarian, turn the other cheek attitude where this colossal twat and his personal health are concerned. Do you really think he was able to play to the absurd age of 45, an age no non kicker has ever even approached in the history of the league because he drank some super secret smoothie no one else knew about? How blind would you have to be to a career of being coddled and protected to believe that? Nah. fug that. If Brady gets carried off on a stretcher it will only be his ego finally catching up to him after he couldn't give up being the league's prima dona darling for 20 years and playing to an age no man ever should play such a violent game. Just a little payback for all those years of hits he wasn't allowed to take that let him dance between the raindrops, albeit a day late and a dollar short. Don't like my atttitude about it? Sue me.

Darnold does seem to have worked hard to improve himself when he wasn't starting. That speaks to characteristics you want in a QB, even a backup QB.

Everything I hear about Wilkes's character makes me want him as a coach. I maintain reservations about a conservative coaching style that takes too few chances and ultimately becomes self defeating from predictability despite highly motivated players. We have seen that show already with Fox and Rivera. I tend to lean towards those who say if we keep Wilkes, Tepper should insist that he be paired with an innovative offensive mind, but if your HC and OC aren't on the same page, that can also be problematic. My long term concern is that like Fox and Rivera, Wilkes proves to be a coach who can return us to respectability, but not lead us to the promised land. I think the reality is in any given coach hiring cycle, candidates like this represent most of the options at best. Thus I think baring the emergence of some wunderkind like candidate who fuses offensive innovation with these leadership characteristics, Wilkes should most likely be given the job.

You rob my team of a SB by illegally filming their practices, you'll find my high moral character towards you going south in a hurry.

Brady's behavior over the years, and the behavior of the organization with which he had most of his tainted success, absolutely merits an ass whooping. The best possible place for such a beatdown would be on the field of play where his childish behavoir and cheating antics robbed other teams, including yours, of earned success. I'm not THAT fanbase. I'm just a guy who'd like to see a little poetic justice.

Nothing would make me happier than to see this whiny douche who's been treated with kid gloves by the league and refs go out on a stretcher, having overstayed his welcome in the league. Go home and enjoy your SB trophies tainted by two different cheating scandals and your divorce papers.

Not taking your meds again? Everyone here hated Elflein. I have no idea where you come up with some of this stuff.

Actually with Juan the over the top nature of the lie is part of the sarcasm. Almost no athlete sustaining any sports injury has ever been ruled out for all of the next season on the spot that I ever recall. That was the clue that Juan put in there. However, I can see that not everyone can be expected to know Juan and his style or catch the subtle hint, so yeah, he should probably avoid stuff like that.

Your reasoning checks out. Only question is are there any other juicy options out there on the schedule?

You shut your whore mouth about Fhule being right about anything. Anything. His vending machine choices were wrong, as were his ringtones, favorite ice cream flavor and hairstyle. I heard rumors he didn't like Cheerwine, which as we all know is blasphemy. The man was just wrong.

In science, this is what's known as cherry picking your data.

I wonder if Cassell had any idea he was spawning a sports phrase that would still be going strong 30 years later when he said that about UNC basketball fans.

So far I think this my all time favorite post of yours.

I would happily kneecap TJ Watt with a hydraulic press and then go to work on his fingers with a hammer. When you watch that hit again, it's obvious there is no reason whatsoever for him to lower his head except to cause injury. The smarter football play in fact would have been to keep his head up and draw a bead on the ball to knock it loose before Cam got forward throwing motion on his arm.

Crazy. If the Steelers don't absolutely stack the box and dare Darnold to beat them, I'll be flabbergasted. We might win, but our offense smells a lot like a one trick pony right now, and if the Steelers don't force us to show them another trick, I'll be shocked. I don't see us hanging 30 on them.

Yeah but the rest of that team didn't once exhibit unbelievably bad sportsmanship towards our team for no reason whatsoever. Shhh, I'm just enjoying the moment. Karma's a bitch ain't it Matty Ice? (still the dumbest nickname in the history of team sports)

Let me help you with that: GET THE fug OFF OUR FIELD! Don't feel even almost anymore, do you? Me neither.

Yeah I know I just can't find it. Still on first cup of coffee.

I might watch other teams if I had a package. *MIGHT* But because the NFL bows to dying old school networks, they want to force you and I to buy the entire league instead of a team or two. This is absurd on it's face for any private individual who isn't obsessed with the NFL and wants no life outside of watching games all week during season. Just do the math. 32 teams. Statistically 15 games per week (not sure exactly how they do the byes, doesn't really matter). 3 hours per game. That's a full time job week to week during the season just watching football. How many people do you think really want that? Some tiny minority of no lifers? And how many of even those losers actually want to watch the Texans vs Broncos game? Let me subscribe to my team for the season and pick other games that I want to watch a la carte instead of trying to rip me off by overcharging me for every damn game. Ever ask a bar owner what they have to pay for Sunday ticket? Ever wonder why their firstborn never seems to be around? The way the networks with their hands up the NFL's arses want it done isn't really for anybody but the networks and maybe the NFL. They want to bend you over to buy the entire season, every game and then claim because you're getting all these games, the vast majority of which you'll never watch, that it's somehow great value when most of it is fluff you don't want. It's certainly in no way shape or form for the fans and consumers.

I think as a fan one of the keys to understanding what you're saying here, which I agree with btw, is to understand that your team's coaching staff and front office staff DO NOT have the same priorities that you have as a fan. Your priority is for the team to win. Period. Their priorities are to keep their jobs, and to be perceived as capable and successful. It is very easy to fall into the mental trap of thinking these things are the same. They are not. Having a late round or undrafted player, especially at QB, succeed over their handpicked first round talent is a case in point. Good for the team, increases winning, good for you as a fan, but NOT what a GM or HC necessarily want. Their rep, their success, may be tied to other players. And this is exactly the sort of thing that leads teams not to be 100 percent objectively merit based when it comes to who plays and how much, even though this is obviously what maximizes the team's chances of winning, and is therefore what fans want.

By George, I think he's got it!

My best internet friend lives outside Saskatoon. Nice try.

Brady as a Panther for me is approaching Sean Payton levels of Nope. Would stop watching if he were on the roster. I do have to give him his due, but he didn't have to be such a crybaby for 20 years and I will NEVER pull for a QB so was so obviously coddled by the refs and given the benefit of countless BS calls while Cam got headhunted at will.

I'd say it might be, and at minimum it's no worse than top 3.
