NFT: Friday...what have we learned this week?

RC02XX : 10/14/2016 8:05 am
And go...
I learned...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/14/2016 8:21 am : link
- having joe in a handle might be a bigger indication of dumbassery than having a "z"

- That people expected the Giants to lose to Minny and GB, but now that they have, we are more like the Browns than anyone else

- That one needs to be present at a dinner where Greg Hardy claimed he passed his wallet around and somebody slipped a baggie of Coke in it to post it on BBI. Taking the news reports at face value aren't good enough, at least for one beret-wearing cockmonkey.

Link?

- That I've come to like hockey season more than baseball season.

- That DRC and Apple can be ruled out of a game and yet a guy resembling DRC can be back in making plays after that announcement

- That McAdoo has fewer rumpled looking track suits than spellings of his name

- That Tom Brady is a product of the system. Not sure which system, but a system. Still checking to see if that was posted by Kurt Warner....

- I learned that resisting the urge to tell the clueless assclown who asked our age and salary that I was younger, made more money and wanted to bash him over the head with my dick that was twice as long was more difficult than I thought.

when the Giants win, its a team effort. When the Giants lose, It's all Eli's fault.

I learned that self proclaimed gurus have the maturity level of a 2 year old and arent really as smart as they think.

I learned that the next 4 years are going to be disastrous.

I learned that many posters here have waited years to post the same nonsense that they were wrong about the first time they posted it.

No one likes the sport in which their team sucks.

Good question..

I learned that "true" fans like to QB when he is struggling because they rather see him fail than succeed.

I learned that dumb people never learn from their mistakes.

I learned that even the great ones, like Brian Hoyer, loses games from time to time.

And by the way, Eric archives the threads - so are you saying he doesnt have much going on in his life? It's sad how exposed you are as a fan - that you built your posting here around the same argument you were wrong about years ago. Its ok, we are here just trying to teach you.

After 2013 Les posted some nonsense about Eli in which jsut about every poster said he was wrong. Eli had 2 good years, Les doesnt say a thing. Eli plays 2 bad games, and Les brings up the same tired old argument and still thinks he was right back then as he is now.

I don't see what's so bad about any of that and certainly not how it makes him a "fraud".

Okay his Trayvon viewpoint is off, but other than that: he watches porn like every man who ever existed, is open talking about his vasectomy (w/e), and forged a document so he could keep his job. The last shady but understandable.

I looooove Bluegrass, especially in the summer. That song however kinda sucked, even though it goes back to the roots of Bluegrass. I used to love all the haunting Bluegrass songs at the end of every Deadwood episode. Now why was a British dude doing a Bluegrass cover? hmmmmmm

You're right is many respects; most of Ken Bone's comments could be considered rational, albeit a bit creepy, reflections on the topics that he was opining. In fact, I'd consider nothing less from Ken. The insurance forgery crosses the line, IMO.

You mean the people who are overreacting and calling him done? Those people are the sane and rational ones, right?

I especially love the poster who said Eli is not mobile in the pocket even though it's the one trait people all agree that Eli moves well within the pocket.

Despite the fact that there have been posters this week suggesting that Nassib should get a spot start in place of Eli so he can rest (most of them speculate we should give him the London week off), there hasn't been the "mere mention" of Eli struggling.

If has been a cascade of posts saying eli is essentially done, or that he's hurt, or that he's in rapid decline, or that he's skittish and a pussy, or that he's mentally screwed up from taking hits (one poster called it the David Carr effect). Multiple posters have said the days of eli carrying the team are over. some have said his body language of all things proves he's not mentally in it.

These aren't mere mentions - these are pretty strong accusations said with a near certainty of being true.

While I’m unsure why that warrants a frowny face (your rightward BBI amigos will still like you)…perhaps, like for your starred compadre Gen Powell, it’s less you that’s changed than a contingent which – before its steep descent into inanity - once gave you pause .

(And we have better beer).

Greg from LI : 10/14/2016 12:22 pm : link

I can agree with you on any silly posts about starting Nassib, but I'm going to have to part company on this one. A soon to be 36 year old quarterback who has just had two horrid games back to back very well might be on the downslope. Nothing outrageous about that.

I can agree with you on any silly posts about starting Nassib, but I'm going to have to part company on this one. A soon to be 36 year old quarterback who has just had two horrid games back to back very well might be on the downslope. Nothing outrageous about that.


He may as well be on the decline. But he had two very good years thr last 2 and he started off the year very well. A lot of us are hoping it's a slump and one good game will snap him out of it.

FatMan in Charlotte : 10/14/2016 12:25 pm : link
there have been some reasonable posts suggesting his best days are behind him. I think that's a fair question.

I'm mentioning the ones saying he's in a steep decline and we need to draft his replacement next year. Funny, because we didn't see any of those suggestions after week 2.

There's a difference between the expected wonderment at when he's going to be aging and those saying he's aging now, not normally, but with Progeria.

Understood. You’re a sharp guy so I imagine you arrived at your refurbished worldview via reason & due deliberation.

Fascinating developments in the world of political repositioning. Not always/necessarily good, either. I’ve alluded to this before: give up a little now or a lot later. The younger generation(s), for instance, feel cheated, are cynical, and are alarmingly willing to countenance a wild overcompensation by, say, septuagenarian political Santa Clauses (among others).

I won’t elaborate lest the site owner & his banhammer squad fuck my shit up.

What competent football authority has ever lauded Eli Manning's ability to move well in the pocket? Eli is excellent at releasing the ball quickly to avoid contact, but when he holds onto the ball, he has balls batted down, fumbles makes Napoleon Dynamite look like Fred Astaire. Hell... Eli has fumbled several times just because he couldn't decide whether to slide, or wait for them to foam the runway.

Maybe your peers aren't so much left leaners, but I've met many more officers than I originally assumed, who do lean left not only politically but socially as well. And this isn't just small groups in specific services.

Now I'm not saying that officers in general lean left, but a sizable number do. And compared to our enlisted counterparts, it is far greater proportionally.

And this is just my opinion based on my anecdotal experience, but I find those (military personnel) who do lean left more critical thinkers with more empathy than those leaning traditionally right. This is, by no means backed by any empirical evidence, but it's almost like those who fall into the traditional conservative service member stereotype seek path of least resistance when forming their opinions on various social and political issues. I know I'll get shit ton of hate for that, but that's what I've seen in my 18 years in the military (in one capacity or another).

I've learned that radar knows more about football than 90% of the posters on this thread ( and 95% of posters on this board) but has no clue about Dylan's contribution to society as it has formed because of him ( and I'm more a street poet ( Springsteen) follower than a revolutionary). Fault me for being younger than needed or excessive use of parenthesis.

I've also learned, as a former bouncer and current resident of Wilmington, NC ( 40 minutes south of Camp LeJuene) that most Marines are complete assholes that need their ass kicked occasionally no matter the protection duty they are charged with.
