BigSqwert Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 With some of the hatred being spewed at him you'd think he walked over to Crabtree, spit in his face, slapped his wife, and yelled out nothing but expletives in the interview while throwing gang signs. Dude was channeling a little Muhammed Ali, someone he's stated as admiring, showing a little bravado. I mean the amount of hatred going towards him is crazy. Reading comments on facebook and twitter about how he should be introduced to George Zimmerman and how he's just an uneducated n-word. GMAFB.

Paulstar Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 02:18 PM) Yeah right. You got busted for thinking that site was legit and now you're just trying to defend yourself. Can't fool me. Believe what you want brother. Everyone knows Manning is smart as s***, and I believe I've made my feelings on Manning, Brady, and Luck quite clear a couple weeks ago. I remember reading that article 6 months ago and it was hilarious so I used it because what the other poster said reminded me of that quote.

dasox24 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Kyle Long named to Pro Bowl per Brad Biggs (on Twitter). Brad Biggs @BradBiggs 7m #Bears G Kyle Long named to the Pro Bowl sources tell me Well done, kid. I was flat-wrong about this pick. I loved his potential, but didn't think he'd be NFL ready with such little experience at OL. Thought we over-drafted him (which we still may have, but that doesn't really matter now).

LittleHurt05 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tim Jennings was announced to the Pro Bowl too. He is taking the roster spot of some loud mouth cornerback nobody has ever heard of. That no name has some competition in two Sundays that prevents him from playing in the Pro Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 08:46 AM) So in the case of a white athlete, if he had good grades in college, he must be smart but if the athlete is black, we need to question his intelligence, is that right? BigSqwert, I'll put the avy on later when I get on my PC. Uhhhh, no, not even close. We question his intelligence because he does s*** like he did yesterday on TV, and previously on TV before. He acted like a big idiot, that's why we question his intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably makes sense, though I haven't compared the rates of missed extra points vs. injuries on extra points. It would help speed up games, too.

It makes sense, they are so automatic nowadays, just waste of time and potential for injury. It will be interesting how they still incoporate 2-point conversions though. Touchdowns are worth 7 points, unless you go for two, then they are worth 6 points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the one point, it's free. If you want the two points, you have to earn it. I'm also in favor of eliminating kickoffs in the first half. Just put the ball at the 25 and go.

I'm done with this convo, you think he must be a "big idiot", good grades from a good school be damned. I think he's a loud, arrogant and yes, smart dude who acted like a fool in the heat of the moment. To me, that doesn't necessarily mean he is a dumb person. But whatever, man.

You are talking about the lowest of the low of the American population. Nobody here feels that way.
