The NFL thread.

My thoughts on the NFL: "...both sides are staring each other down like two assholes fighting over the last Maybach in a Mercedes dealership because they literally can't figure out how to split up the hundreds of millions they're making. "

Pshhh. Hockey starts in less than one hundred days. Hell yeah!

NOPE! I've got no passion. I've no patience. And I hate waitin'. :impatient:

 

That's why I emailed Conrad. He replied: "I will get off my lazy ass and reform the league this week. Hopefully my motivation will somehow magically carry over to the real league and they will get a deal done."

 

Here's to A New Hope.

I'm a Chiefs fan. And, I root for whoever is on my fantasy teams. One or two years I was rooting for Wes Welker. He was a stud. Romo was worth having before Jessica Simpson came along. She ruined him like she ruined music. I even rooted for a Packer at one point in time!

 

 

Another Kansan? Or Misery-an?

 

'Cause no one roots for the Chiefs unless its their home team.

Not quite. My dad was in the military. I now claim Cali as home (was born here and wound up back here). Most of my childhood was in Japan, where the only major game, college or above, I saw was Air Force taking on someone in Tokyo. It was cool because I got the game program, which was mostly in Kanji, which I think my dad still has in his garage.

 

Upon returning to the states and seeing football on TV (not something I would have seen on TV normally), I saw Christian Okoye running the ball with such grace and skill. I didn't really know much about the NFL, just football at the high school level, playing with my buddies in pick up games, and my dad's worship of Joe Montana. The impact of him running stuck with me, and I've followed the Chiefs ever since.

 

I did live in Illinois for a few years there, right across the border from St Louis, where no one followed the Cards. Then, they moved to Arizona, which was all for the better.

The regular season showed so much promise. Then came a playoff game. Coach would quit throwing the ball and start running the ball when the run game had been shut down the entire time. Throwing was still strong, but it won't work if you don't call the play! Third and long doesnt mean try and run it up the gut. WTF was he thinking. Even a football dumbass like me knows better than that.

Good to see the Raiders are up to their old tricks: Finding new ways to suck. On top of their typical penalty-riddled defense, they have now introduced the sloppy long snapper.

 

Luckily, with my fantasy team, they were just good enough to not let my opponent this week win, who had Antonio Gates as his TE. Instead, we tied, which is not something I have done before in my years of playing fantasy football.

 

And, my Chiefs didn't bother trying to win. They just bent over and let Rover take over. Unbelievable!

"America's Game" was perhaps one of the best ideas Steve Sabol ever had.

 

 

At least he got to be there with his dad on one of the biggest days of his life.

Rest in peace, buddy.
