Dave may have the most commented-upon post, but in the top ten, Brent’s posts got people talking the most. Good job.
I think my posts, which always included photos, were the best. Your rating system is dumb.
I never said these posts were the best. I said they were the most popular.
some would argue that the most popular IS the best, but then I think about movies like Titanic, the English Patient, You Got Mail and Rocky, which were all very popular.
There’s a lot of people out there that associate popularity with excellence. Talk about comparing apples and oranges.
Let’s not start in on the semantics. Keep it clean and above the belt.
Speaking of excellence AND popularity… did you catch the Patriots Game this weekend? And now that the Colts are out, will the Patriots just walk all over a banged up Chargers team before destroying either the Packers or the Giants?
I am sure that the NFL and the networks are hoping for the ultimate showdown of Packers-Patriots. Good vs. Evil. All-American Working Class Hero vs. Snobby New England Cheaters.
I myself would prefer Packers-Chargers, because Phillip Rivers is the only quarterback in the league that is a bigger asshole than Tom Brady.
I think the packers would be a better game, but I’d love for the Giants to win.
If it would mean that you would stop rooting for the Patriots, then I hope the Giants win.
hahaha, I love Philip Rivers. He plays with a huge chip on his shoulder.
Mocking Jay Cutler from the sidelines isn’t a chip on your shoulder. Neither is going over to the stands and talking trash to the opposing team’s fans during a game in which you are not playing anymore because you have incredibly poor throwing mechanics and you hurt yourself jumping up in the air to throw a ball while your backup QB engineers the fourth quarter comeback to win the game. That’s called being an asshole.
It’s weird the way behavior like that is acceptable at every position except quarterback, running back and tight end. If anyone else does it, it’s at worst entertaining.
Is it though? Isn’t Randy Moss considered an asshole? Rodney Harrison? Joey Porter?
I think we take them at face value.
Moss isn’t really an asshole anyways. Harrison and Porter are jerks, but I think people generally recognize that their annoying antics are just a way of getting themselves fired up. It’s okay for Steve Smith and Chad Johnson and Michael Strahan to freak out. It’s not okay for Tom Brady and Dalls Clark to.
What about Kyle Turley?
Isn’t he an offensive lineman? They are allowed to be dicks too. Oh – and I guess Shockey and Winslow and prove tight ends can be dicks as well – as long as they are from Miami. Everyone from Miami can be dicks except the running backs.
Is Willis McGahee the exception that proves your rule?
McGahee isn’t a dick.. Take that back.
Nothing wrong with Rivers giving it the trash talk (although I haven’t seen the Cutler incident I admit).
I loved him jawing with the fans at the weekend. Made I laff. What’s his mechanics got to do with being an asshole? Anyhow, I like QB’s with unusual actions as well. Shows individuality. Same way as I prefer cars that don’t look like the identikit “designed in a wind tunnel” shape. My favourite QBs when I was growing up? Not Montana. Not Marino. Not Elway. I admired all 3, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted to throw it like Kosar, or Jay Schreoder (man, what an arm he had, but he could only throw it sidearm it seemed).
I loved Jim McMahon – partly because he was half blind, and so he became an underdog, but mostly for his attitude. I liked Jim Everett, he seemed to play angry too.
The exception to this rule is Brady Quinn, who makes me want to punch the TV whenever I see his smug face on it.
Anyhow, Rivers is always having to “justify” his trade on draft day with the media with his play, which is going to get worse if Eli keeps improving. I’m on his side.
As soon as Rivers shows that he’s a quarterback that can be counted on to win a game, he can trash talk. Handing the ball to Tomlinson does not give you the right to trash the opposing QB and the fans. I wonder why he wasn’t trashing Peyton Manning?
He is more than welcome to trash talk the opposing defense, though. Taunt someone who can do something about it on the field.
I think he did pretty well at the weekend. Also, week 12, Baltimore – Tomlinson held to 77 yards, Rivers puts up 3TDs, 248 yards and the win.
He’s not consistently doing it though, I agree.
Maybe those fans had it coming: Indy fans are pretty bad at the best of times, but they’ve been insufferable since they won it last year. And, those were front-row, fifty-yard line seats too . . . so you know they’ve got to have some entitlement issues. Why not jaw with them? Especially if your team is winning and they’ve been giving it to you all afternoon?
Because you are a professional.
Professional? Sure, a professional athlete. It’s not like they’ve got a code of ethics or something. It pretty much seems that as long as they don’t: 1) rape women, 2) get in to fights at strip clubs, 3) swear on tv, or, 4) disrupt a game with a silly celebration involving a telecommunication device, they can do whatever they want. And, sometimes, those first three are negotiable.
Killing a woman while drunk driving is okay, as is not stabbing two people to death after your Super Bowl party.
Was the former a reference to Leonard Little? I still can’t believe he got away with that with no jail time.
Indeed it is. Good thing he didn’t run over a dog.
