Yeah but you admit, and I gave Steelers fans props for that. They generally admit they hate all teams not Pittsburgh. I dont buy their excuses....but I appreciate the honesty!
I've noticed the tendency to sympathize with Moss and for the life of me don't understand it. Arrogant, cocky, lazy, puts forth no extra effort to make a play. He doesn't set a good example for younger players, he bitches and moans constantly (at least he did in MN). Why feel bad for a guy like that? Would you want to work with a guy like that? Have a co-worker who acts like that?
I actually don't think he's even close to the best. He has some natural talent but his attitude has diminished what he could have been. I think he could have been great had he pushed himself throughout his career.
Oh and totally I get why someone would hate him. IDK man, not like I love him just...I'm neutral and all you say is fair but dude, he's a receiver the cockiest, laziest sonsofbitches there are. I think it was Ron Jaworski (IDK I forget) that defended him saying most receivers take plays off, often a lot of times. And as for bitching and moaning dude... I wish it wasn't so but look at 90% of players I guess I just don't see why he seems singled out, especially with people I'd say are far worse. I dont see what warrants it. Must be because of his good career.
Regardless he's not the best ever, for sure. Hell TO is ahead of him with yards and Moss just is ahead with TDs despite playing 2 full seasons more. Not that I'm really a huge fan of those stats, but its still something. And a little more accurate than passing stats.

I spose. I guess I'm just bitter cause he was such a whiny SOB while here in MN. And he seems like he just dogs it too much, then pouts if he doesn't get enough balls his way. If I was QB I'd pick the receiver I know will work hard every play.
...that moment you realize "Mob Rules" is better than "Heaven and Hell"
Oh he deff was. But in his prime he was something...some of the best offenses ever both featured him. And he just needed the motivation of being on Oakland when he then went to the Pats, he was fired up at first. Remember 07? Teams were so dedicated to stopping his deep game they'd practically give games to the Pats.
but I feel ya man. I have IMO a rational hatred of a million suns for Tiki Barber. Friends have "gotten me" but usually say its unjustified...guess Im bitter too!

Moss maybe a baby but at least he's never killed anyone so I'd have still rather seen him get one ring than ol' double-homicide ray get another.
This was the VW commercial:
The irresponsible and depressingly desperate media tried to make it into a story claiming it was offensive. Anyone who finds that offensive, instead of funny, should consider walling themselves inside where they can't be upset by the outside world.
Ah I do remember that one. Was pretty good. And like every "moral outcry" no one gives a single sh*t. But we are supposed to freak out so everyone does
This was the one I liked, not that I liked it per se but it was so different and WTF is this
Especially with how silly and formulaic many are...kudos

Ahh...I don't recall that one at all. It was alright...certainly a chuckle (esp with the sticky buns) but I still found the other two I mentioned funnier.

I'm tired of politically correct fanatics.
I find the ad funny and imaginative, the Tourism Minister of Jamaica has told the fanatics to chill up, that the ad was a good advertising for Jamaica.

It was kind of funny how the highly-paid "experts" felt that the 49ers should put in Alex Smith after the blackout since Kapernick was too young to know how to manage the clock and wouldn't be able to get the 49ers back into the game. Thanks to a bad punt/good punt return and a lost fumble Kapernick and the 49ers pretty much closed that gap in mere minutes.
I was against them ever replacing Smith with Kaepernick. I mean, their thought process for that to work had to have been "Hey guys, let's replace the QB that's currently leading the league in completion percentage after 11 weeks with a second-year guy with no practical experience in the NFL." Sounds like a very logical move to me.
And yeah, the VW commercial was probably my favorite. The 2 Doritos ones were close though.

That might be my pick for the worst commercial from this year's SB. My girlfriend and I were sitting there looking at each other like we couldn't believe what we were hearing, and then at the end find out it's a Dodge Ram commercial. We both thought it was a political ad until the end, and it came off as having too much of that kind of feel to me. I guess for people who grew up in farming families or on farms, it might make more sense. Because I'm just an ig'nant, white suburban boy.
No I agree David. We all kept sayign WTF is this, and wondering when it would end. But it was so unqiue and weird I loved it. Admitedly, guess I loved it in a "is so what the hell, it was good" way.
I dont wanna break tradition, so Jody needs to start the 2013 thread!
In the mean time...G Men are starting to fix their sh*t.
Cut Chris Canty and Mcihael Boley, neither a big deal. A little upset Bradshaw was let go, very good back...
But it's OK and RBs are replacebale pretty easily. I hope this is to clear up some room for Cruz. They are still playing games, and I will be very pissed if they can't close a deal with him.
Also I'll be mad if they don't release David "the turnstile" Diehl, Osi and restructure Tuck and Webster. Need to start making real changes/preparing for the future.

I'll be honored to start the next thread JJ,will do that before preseason.
I haven't commented too much after the SB because I didn't want to kill my SB buzz.
We won't be the same team next year.We have so many important people who will be free agents and restricted free agents.and we have some cap casualties(probably Boldin and Leach).Flacco could really screw us if he demands a ton of money,and he could go from being a hero here in Baltimore to being hated and despised.
Weird to see Flacco getting all this praise now after being constantly slammed for 5 years.We always had faith in him but so many people have jumped on the band wagon since the SB win,it's really strange.

Congratulations Jody!!! I hope that one day during my lifetime I can celebrate my hometown team winning a Super Bowl. Sadly, it doesn't really seem to be realistic.

Same here.
Although supposedly Mike Brown is thinking of stepping down in the next few years and his daughter is set to replace him. And the little bit I've seen her talk makes me think she's going to be a far more intelligent owner than her father.

Yeah, you're definitely going to loss a few guys. I think the core of the team will ultimately stay intact though.
As for Flacco, I don't see how a deal that doesn't work out for everyone doesn't get done. Yeah, there's the chance he could ask for something really outrageous, but if worst comes to worst I could see them putting the franchise tag on him while they work out some kind of deal.
Tl;dr: If Flacco doesn't have a new deal shortly before training camp starts, I'll be shocked.

Sucks to see your championship team being dismantled.I figured we would lose Boldin and Kruger but Ellerbe was a high priority and now we released Bernard Pollard over 500k.
Jeez...there is even talk of James Harrison joining our team.
G Men have me sweating bullets over this Victor Cruz thing. They are prone to letting go without fear. I admire it, but this is one time they really need to keep em. I never question Jerry Reese but he is starting to bug me this time. Picked up another D linemen? Still have Webster (granted they re-structure him). At least they did re-sign Will Beatty who was our only good O Lineman.
I would love if we picked up Pollard, with a healthy Phillps that'd be beastly! We have no LBs at all...could really use Ellerbe as well! And what can ya do Jody? Besides naturally happening now that Flacco is owed $9001billion the team will have to become focused on him. Eventually it'll be the Joe show, with little Rice and a D that at best is a mild set back to opponents. Welcome to the new NFL Jody!
I am semi confident. IF players stay healthy our D will be better, Nicks will be back, G men always draft well and the SB hangover is hopefully over. It was inexcusable for Eli and Co to start like that and flatline so badly. Still some changes need to be made like rotating Tuck out more and keep Kiwanuka in more, and scale back that pass game a bit. At least not to it's suicidal levels of late.

I got a popup on my phone that says that the Lions are going to announce the signing of Reggie Bush today. Not sure if that means anything or not but he has a recognizable name.
