The 2012/2013 NFL Thread v. Brady dont need no money

understood

imo society needs to accept pro athletes are not, and should not be held accountable to be role models

I don't even like to think of them as real people, just entertainers

in 1998 former ram's all pro DE leonard little killed a lady while driving drunk, I honestly didn't change my opinion towards him, I honestly didn't find out about it until little's final few years in the league

it's kind of bullshit how little the consequences he was subjected to -8 game suspension and 4 years probation and 1000 hours community service, to me that sounds fair, but if that were me I would look at 10+ years in jail

I feel like a lot of people who get locked up cause of DUI, resulting in someone being injured, may very well been victim to a sober driver who actually caused the accident....I think driving hammered in stupid and selfish, but the punishment for getting caught may be a tad too steep, specially if you're pulled over for a routine, non-moving traffic violation....tow the car and give the person a ride home and $1000 fine sounds fair, let the person keep their license if it's first offense, no reason to ruin someone's career, in that specific case

little was actually voted for some kind of courage award in 2005:
The Ed Block Courage Award is an annual award presented to selected players in the National Football League (NFL), who are voted by their teammates as role models of inspiration, sportsmanship, and courage.[1] Named in memory of Ed Block, a well-liked humanitarian and trainer for the Baltimore Colts, the award is administered by the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation. Sponsorship proceeds promote the prevention of child abuse by raising awareness of the epidemic and assisting agencies who provide for the care and treatment of abused children.

lol that's a bad look for the nfl....but I see it as a man who made a horrible mistake when he was young and transformed him into a great person, regardless of what the victim's family/friends think
 
yeah i understand that and its not like he intentionally killed some lady it was some mistake he made when he was young which could easily be learned from.
for michael vick he knew well what he was doing and now am i expected to believe he truly loves dogs now a couple years after it happened? all he cares about is bettering his image.

i dont think athletes should be held accountable to be role models either but i pretty much look at it as if i think i would like them as a person if i met them in real life.
 
I think vick just surrounded himself with the wrong crowd, and since he had all the money, was held accountable, justifiably, from the ideas of other people

he obviously grew up in a shitty home, last I heard of marcus vick was him robbing teen agers, with a gun or knife, in a mcdonalds parking lot

when I was younger I hated the thugs in pro sports, now I support them more than the rich ass white boys who were born into privileged families, having a strong public image, even though they are probably bad people in their own right(adultery,disrespectful,etc)
 
still if i was surrounded by the wrong crowd i wouldnt expect myself to do shit that extreme.

idk i feel like i can tell just by listening to people talk just for a little bit that i can tell what type of person they are and whether i'd like them IRL. i fucking hate aaron rodgers, jay cutler, ect. who i know are just fucking assholes and i would hate.

I hate a lot of people/teams in sports but i think it kind of adds to the excitement because i really enjoy seeing them fail lol
 
just like an awesomely bad cheesy action flick

pro sports are far less appealing without proper villains, even if the hatred is over superficial shit

from '07-'11, you know, when ram's 5 year span was the worst EVER by any team since the NFL played in church shoes and slacks, despite winning 7 games in '10.....my favorite team usually ended up being whoever was on the schedule of the PA teams
 
yeah, when falcons arent on i would love watching the eagles lose.

its kinda gotten to the point where i dont care about them anymore but im not sure if its because they suck now or like you said earlier the asshole eagles fans are out of my life.

I fucking hate every other NFC South team and for good reason. As of now i probably hate the saints the most but for a team that fucking sucks, i hate the Bucs a lot. They might be the dirtiest team in the league but most people wouldnt know because no one gives a shit about them. and the panthers, well its annoying as fuck seeing Cam Newton crying after every game.
 
my only brother is a bucs fan, and I fucking hated them so bad back when rams/bucs were always top 5 teams in the NFL

that 11-6 win in NFC championship game was fucking money, specially since the buc's got screwed pretty hard when a completion that looked pretty damn clean was overturned, more than likely bucs would have won

wasn't cool 2-3 years later when bucs beat the rams on Monday night....during the game I accidently threw a cheese grater thru my living room window...held it by it's top and just swung it....fucking thing came flying off the handle and thru the window right after ram's threw a INT to seal the deal....my dad was right next to me when it happened, think I just looked at him, ran up in my room and screamed i'm sorry over and over...ahhh wonderful memory

I don't want tampa to ever be good again, my bro is such a faggot when it comes to sports(tim tebow is his all time fav football player, enough said), he's convinced if they get revis that instantly adds 2 wins to their season...revis aint half of what he used to be and no way he can stop WRs that matter like white, jones, and colston....he can prob shut down old man steve smith though, i'll give him that

schiano was an awful hire, josh freeman will never lead tampa to anything, I kind of like the kid and think he can be a big ben type qb(comparing cause of size, that's about it)..... he could still develop into a really good QB, just needs a new team...than again if you want to be a disappointing athlete, tampa is one of the best cities to do it in, it's a harmless market

to me, in a perfect league, every year 11 teams that make playoffs are teams that didn't the previous year, the one exception being the stl ram slams

a 2013 AFC play off field of Oakland, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Buffalo, and Miami(for my man 3,4) would be fucking awesome
 
my brother is actually a hardcore Vikings fan and knows what he's talking about so they're my second favorite team. was pretty awesome seeing them make the playoffs when everyone thought they sucked at the start of the season.

Josh Freeman is simply way too inaccurate to ever be a good QB. I remember last season he missed an easy TD pass to a Bucs WR uncovered in the endzone vs. the Falcons. and then he will throw ints right to the other team on occasion.

As far as darrelle revis goes it would definitely make them better but still not a playoff team. i see schiano turning out the same way raheem morris did showing a little promise at first but ultimately failing after that.

and lol at that cheese grater story. Football is pretty much the only thing that can get me to really stupid things.
 
i'm telling ya man, the cheese grater was a freak accident!! I didn't let go, I was holding on to the handle as the base smashed out a window lol

if there's one thing I love about living in the era that we do, it's the fact I can watch every single snap of any game I want to, on the internet in very passable quality

unless rams are on primetime or vs a team that a friend likes, I would rather isolate my self during the game, fuck distractions

football is indeed some powerful shit, after a tough loss, the next day(sometimes the entire week) I feel really guilty, like I did something really bad...but i'll never let a loss affect the people around me, unlike some losers I know

but after a win, on Monday I walk around like I just finished having a threesome with 2 beautiful married woman, I get this rush similar to a high, i'll be friendly to random strangers and all that shit

i'm a rare breed of NFL fan, i'm pretty hardcore into it, love listening to anything related to it on the radio, yet I very rarely watch any games that isn't my team....games will be on in the background, but it's just that, background noise

now that i'm not druggie scum, i'm definitely going to have to gamble next year, all year, and no more pussy rules where I don't allow my self to add money into my account, I can definitely watch those games

I hope the Steven Jackson factor is enough to get the falcons @ rams game on prime time, just like mikeO, one of my best sports friend is a PA born diehard falcon fan...last ram's playoff game was vs Atlanta and it was ugly, I pretty much 'blacked out' about anything that happened with the rams from that game up until bradfords rookie year lol
 
I have NFL Sunday Ticket so every sunday i try to watch as much games as possible when falcons arent on. I really couldnt live without it.

I use to be pretty fucking annoying when watching falcons games. Like whenever something bad would happen i would get really pissed and yell at the tv and my brother would get annoyed. I realize how annoying it is and tell myself not to do it and get my mind right before the game lol

when falcons lose i pretty much dont talk to anyone for the next 3 days and if i have to talk i keep all answers on a word count. when falcons win im the happiest guy in the world. I really wasnt expecting to be disappointed if falcons lost in the playoffs this year because i didnt wanna get my hopes crushed again. but if falcons were to not make that field goal at the end of the seahawks game and let that comeback i wouldnt be able to get over that. It kinda prepared me a little bit for next weeks loss to the niners but still the way they lost is something that was hard to get over.

next season im fully expecting a superbowl win though :). i think they improved from last year and they were only yards away from the superbowl.
 
you were def mad after falcons game

I felt it hard, bro

I pictured you holding a broken bottle as you raged against the liberal media
 
fucking a couple yards to going to the superbowl.
and after seeing tony gonzalez cry after the seahawks game i wanted him to get a superbowl so bad and i thought it was his last game. that was the greatest moment ever for me in all the years ive watched football.
thankfully hes coming back for one more year
 
when rams won the SB I took off my Isaac bruce jersey and got on my hands and knees muslim style next to it
i'm gonna do the same thing if it ever happens again, hopefully there will be someone that I want a jersey of someday, but I can't see myself getting attached to a player like I did with bruce, and one that will stay a ram for most of their career

I still wear that yellow/blue bruce jersey sometimes on game day/out on the town
I had a new colors bruce jersey but somehow burned a hole in it the next year after they lost to the saints(eventfully the hole turned into a huge hole and ended up losing it), also burnt my hand, there's a scar on hand from burned plastic string that was attached to a stop watch in a candle, it caught fire and I tried 'shaking out' the little fire and it burnt out on my hand lol...all cause az hakim muffed a punt to end the game, there was more than enough time for rams to make a game winning drive

I went outside and shoveled snow in a t shirt and shorts after the game, just to unleash frustration
 
i havent bought a jersey in a long time. If i were to buy one i'd probably have to go with Ryan, White, Jones, Weatherspoon, Moore, or Gonzalez (thats more than i thought id come up with). I had an old falcons michael vick jersey that i loved but i dont know where it went (not that i'd wear it or anything). like this:
michael-vick-atlanta-falcons-autographed-white-jersey-3330876.jpg

i like how its simple and not real out there.

i dont know what i'd do if falcons won the superbowl but i admit i dont know if id be able to control my emotions. Would probably be one of the greatest days of my life which might sound extremely lame to any non hardcore sports fan. This year coming up i feel like falcons simply HAVE to win the superbowl. There are so many players on this team that wont be here much longer and its not that i think the team will start going downhill it's just that i've never liked a team locker room wise as i like this one. Falcons just need to bring back John Abraham and it would be perfect.
 
typical knee wearing a loose snapback

give him time his head will grow into it
