I'm as guilty as anyone else in thinking LBF acts like a troll most of the time. However this time all he did was post relevant news on a former player's current whereabouts. Can't really fault him there.

I'll be honest with you, that's what he does most of the time.

Really, I'd say about 85 percent of his posts and threads are legitimate and objective questions about the Panthers. But since he's not "a fan," the other posters accuse him of trolling and "smack."

Now I've seen some smack, but more often than not it's in response to someone else. Yes, he posts a lot over here, but who cares?

ive always pulled for him to do well. when he played for the panthers i sold him the rims and tires for his car. (realy nice bmw 750) he actually called me one night to ask if i knew a good tow company cause he had a blow out on the way home, and i set him up with a one of my buddies that owns a tow company and actually went and picked him up and gave him a ride home. hes a super nice guy and i hope he does well with the lions.

Gotta keep things in perspective. The perspective here is that Colbert is still an NFL player while we sit in front of computers making fun of him. Who's the bigger joke... :lol:

He got a major Payday in Den and My hats off to him and his agent. If the NFL thing dose not work out he would be a great salesman.

Lions re-signed WR Keary Colbert.

Colbert, 27, had 47 catches as a rookie in 2004, the year Steve Smith missed all but one game with a broken leg. Colbert has since struggled to separate in numerous locations, be it due to weak burst off the line and/or route running. He's a poor fit for new Lions coordinator Scott Linehan's vertical offense and probably won't make the team.

I posted an article here last year when Seattle picked him up from Denver. In Seattle they were bragging... "He looks like Jerry Rice in practice." I didn't even know he ended up in Detroit, but I suppose it's poetic justice he's with the Lions.

He's one heck of a practice player... he had some good moments in Carolina but there have been questions about whether or not his heart is really in football.

He definitely has the physical tools, just not sure if he has what it takes under his helmet or between his spine and sternum to be great...

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
