YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Manziel is a freaking nutjob and I have no sympathy for him at all. He had everything given to him on a silver platter and he threw it away. Edited February 5, 2016 by ChiSoxFanMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I read a profile during his college days talking about all of the extra curriculars he was involved in even during high school. There is no doubt that he has a substance abuse problem that he needs help for, but there definitely seems like some "affluenza" is involved as well.

Most sources down here seem to think Stephen Jones doesn't want Manziel, especially considering he won't be eligible to play the whole season. They sound more interested in RGIII.

Panerista Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) No comments on the Bears 30for30 doc? I cried like a baby at the end. It was really good, I'm just kind of done with the 85 Bears. I'm proud of them and I love 34, but part of why these guys are so renowned is directly tied to how bad this organization has been in the Super Bowl era.

Panerista Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) Except a large portion of it had nothing to do with the Bears as an organization, but a deeper look at the personalities and relationships they had with each other. I have NO connections to the 85 team other than being born and raised in Chicago. I'm not even a big Bears fan. But a positive comment followed by a negative slight from you? Color me shocked. I'm just tired of celebrating a 30 year old team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) No comments on the Bears 30for30 doc? I cried like a baby at the end. As a toddler I watched a replay of Super Bowl XX on VHS every single day. That and the "Play It Again" jukebox video, which was amazing (If you haven't seen it, find it on YouTube). I couldnt get enough. 1. Thursday nights out with the Bears must have been insane. Without cell phone cameras, I'm sure there was much more freedom for the players to party. That and the Super Bowl being in NOLA, it seems like they had their fun. 2. I was surprised to see how upset Walter was about not scoring a TD in the Super Bowl. I knew it was a big deal in general, but I had no idea it bothered him that much. 3. The Buddy Ryan stuff brought some tears, especially the letter at the end. Surprised to not hear any mention of Rex or Rob though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us are, I've heard more than enough of Mongo promoting west suburban strip clubs on the Score. But this was a national broadcast by the new elite documentary series. Sit back and enjoy it.

Middle Buffalo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 05:14 PM) I'm just tired of celebrating a 30 year old team. While I somewhat agree, there really hasn't been anything like that team in my lifetime. It was the perfect storm of hungry city, unbelievable team, and unmatched personalities. I don't feel like I'll ever see anything like it again. I'll add that it's funny to hear anyone (especially Chicagoans) criticize the Panthers for being arrogant or celebrating too much. No team celebrated more than the '85 Bears. And we all ate it up. Edited February 7, 2016 by Middle Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
