Intruder posted:The ball clearly moves after he hits the ground initially, you can't clearly see if the ball touches the ground or his hand stays under it the whole time. I'm inclined to call it a catch but I can see why you wouldn't reverse the call on the field Instead of arguing about that can we talk about how the Panthers partially lost the game because of dropped passes and Ted Ginn wasn't involved? That play was a perfect throw and if caught the Broncos probably don't get an immediate TD on the next play. Then later on Cotchery dropped another pass that would have set the Panthers up pretty deep in Denver territory.

Oakland's a value bet is what I get out of that. I mean it probably won't happen but I could see them over a lot of teams with better odds.

Lots of bible verses, and wouldn't bang his girlfriend (who actually went to HS with my sister) until they were married. Back before I learned to embrace hating Alabama one of the things I liked about Alexander was he'd end interviews with Roll Tide out of nowhere. I liked some dumb things when I was younger.

Ross Angeles posted:Peterson will finish his career with more yards and a better YPC, and is an overall better runner than Tomlinson. Tomlinson will get in eventually, you can't ignore the touchdowns, but it won't be first ballot. Peterson will be a first ballot guy. He's the kind of RB that people will talk about in 25 years, Tomlinson will just kind of fade into obscurity like Earnest Byner or John Riggins I'm convinced this is an act to make people praise Tomlinson, but to play along Peterson (who is 30) will have to be "good" for two more years just to catch Tomlinson's rushing yardage--he's basically 2000 yards behind him there. The odds of this happening are pretty good but we've seen a lot of running backs physically fall apart right about now. But he's going to have to be good for 4 or 5 more years to catch up in yards from scrimmage, especially since he isn't anywhere near the threat receiving out of the backfield. The only way I see Tomlinson not being a first ballot guy is if he's up against some real monsters. Ray Lewis is taking one spot, I could see Kurt Warner getting another. Who else is a first time guy next year? e: poo poo I don't think Ray is eligible until 2018, what I get for looking at an old nfl.com article.

PrinceRandom posted:Offseason chat. I'm playing that football sim in steam and they separate WRs into Split Ends and Flankers. I've never heard this before and have no idea what it means. Help... Split end is X and Flanker is the Z if that helps any. Split end is actually the end on his side of the field, as in lined up on the LoS, which is where the term comes from.

Honestly since the turn of the century the only real boring Bowls have been Ravens/Giants (Slaughter) Bucs/Raiders (Slaughter) Bears/Colts (Slaughter) and Seahawks/Broncos (slaughter). hmm, I see a trend. This used to be a yearly thing, we've been really lucky with Super Bowls recently.

They're probably right to on general principal, I don't think an honest Sports Commissioner has ever existed in any sport, but I want the details. Gary Bettman is basically as bad as Roger Goodell or maybe worse. There have been 3 lockouts while he's been commissioner and he keeps trying to force hockey on the south where people don't give a poo poo about it. There's also plenty of bizarre suspension decisions in the NHL, while he doesn't directly handle those like Goodell most of the time he still gets the blame.

Eifert Posting posted:I've only seen ten or so full games with Marino and maybe twenty with Elway but it seems pretty crazy to me to say Elway is better. Marino with TD wins 12 Superbowls in his first three seasons. To be fair early on in his career Elway had less to work with, I can't ever remember any of the names of the Three Amigos. Meanwhile the Marks Brothers were real good. I mainly made this post because I miss those nicknames, Marino was better.

MY NIGGA D-LINK posted:Yeah, it's pretty much the ultimate way to go out. I am not understanding the 'poor form' comment either Eh the idea is you're putting yourself going out on top ahead of the rest of the team that just won a championship. In Elway and Lewis's case the narrative was already 'win one more for this guy,' and that holds true for Bettis to some extent. The difference would be Peyton wasn't a long time Bronco I guess? Either way I don't really buy into it or care and would have preferred Peyton did that instead of hug Papa John and shill Budweiser.

swickles posted:I remember people debating if he was good or not while in college. That isn't the most auspicious start for a QB. Its not like a Driskel situation where you can really dismiss a good chunk of his college body of work for coaching and suck. The argument with Locker was that he had no help at all and it was amazing he did anything. And I remember one game against Nebraska his senior year where I could believe it, he was running for his life right off the snap all day. Of course he was 4/20 for 79 yards and ran for 59, so yeah. But it was a strangely impressive awful performance!
