    Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, being a passionate sports fan. Think about it: if your team wins four titles in your lifetime, that's pretty good. That's top 5%. Most fans won't see their favorite team in a particular sport win that many titles in their life. So assuming an age of cognizance of about 7, and the average life expectancy of an American male at about 75, that means that 4 championships in a 68 year span puts you in the top 5% of happiness.


    That fucking blows, doesn't it? 4 good years, 64 bad years. It's not worth the pain. We should just take up hobbies. Train sets are fun.

    Sports are fun to watch, win lose or draw.

    Obviously winning stuff feels amazing (only one of my proper teams ever has and only once) but it's not what its all about, just part of it.

    I believe he was out of contract at the end of this season and all the Colts have done is franchised him so he cant talk to other teams. The Eagles have done the exact same thing with Michael Vick. Its just an insurance really. Both players want to stay at the teams but it just stops other teams from coming in and making huge offers that may swing the players thoughts. Apparently Mannings new deal will make him the highest paid NFL player and net him $23m a season eek

    So, breaking news, the NFLPA (Players Union) and Owners could not agree on a new collective bargaining agreement, so the NFLPA has been decertified and individual players will sue the owners for locking them out (those individuals being Drew Brees, Payton Manning, and Tom 'Carnival' Brady). Sigh. Billionaires fighting millionaires, and the fans set to lose. Hope they get this worked out before... July.

    Lockout it technically over, due to a judge granting an injunction that was filed by the players. However, owners aren't going to sign players right now, so it is really isn't over. Although, if teams/owners don't sign players, then the NFL and owners could be in big trouble, if the players then file an antitrust lawsuit.

    I'll agree with two but Hall is one of the most up and down players in the league, he had a great season last year but i wouldn't be surprised if he fell off the map, again.

    VT no talent Laughing Let's remind everyone what happened back in 2006. Just as a reminder, in that game, C.J. Spiller had 41 yards rushing, James Davis had 30 yards rushing, and Brandon Ore had 203 yards rushing.



    And just in case you forgot, what about the proceedings in 2007?



    Look at my boys clowning on you. Thought '06 was bad? James Davis, 9 yards rushing. CJ Spiller, 3 yards rushing. True freshman Tyrod Taylor? 118 yards rushing. 3 defensive/special teams touchdowns. DJ Parker interception for 6. Eddie Royal 82 yard punt return for a touchdown (after he had an earlier punt return for td called back). And of course Macho Harris taking a kickoff 100 yards to the house.

    Laughing

    Yeah '06 was pretty terrible, Thurs. nighter, thought CJ was going to go ham.

    I was at the game in Death Valley but luckily it was one of my drunker moments so i don't remember much of it, did get to tell Tyrod "fuck you" to his face though so that kind of made up for things.

    We shall get revenge this year. pray

    Sooooooooooo.... the first round of the draft was last night.

    NFL - Page 17 92952-quarterback-cam-newton-of-auburn-university-poses-with-nfl-commissione

    Detroit got Nick Farley from Auburn, him and Suh. Oh my lord.

    Atlanta got Julio Jones, not sure if they needed him really, traded some draft picks with Cleavand from him.

    Cardinals got CB Patrick Peterson, a lot of people think he's the best player 'right now' in the draft.

    Titans got Jake Locker... err, Vince Young is better.

    Vikings got Christian Ponder Neutral

    Jets got a DT cheers

    I can't fucking believe Da`Quan is still on the board, kind of pisses me off. He is honestly going to be a super steal for whoever picks him.
