Blacks in the back.
The "best couple stars" are probably Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. LeBron is by far the best player in the NBA but Wade is always hurt (or pretending to be if he misses a shot).

But whatever, I am not going to argue the NBA is awesome in a football forum because I can already see how it will turn out.

This has literally always been the case, and the cap/tax is harsher now than it has ever been. The reason there isn't parity is that they're playing basketball, which by its very nature rewards the better team more often than the other major sports. One player can have a huge impact, the best players are involved in the majority of the game, and there are a million scoring opportunities. I suppose they could try playing baseball instead, but that seems like a pretty weird decision for a basketball league.

Now everyone shut up.

Lamest reason. For like three NBA2k games straight my create-a-player kept getting drafted by the Warriors so I was like "welp, guess I will root for them."

More than elections, these kinds of incidents show the real situation in American politics. What is happening to Cooper is exactly what is happening to Paula Deen: a public Soviet-style show trial, where the verdict is never in doubt.

THIS WHAGON HAS NO BREAKS! I HAVE THE HEART OF THE BUUFALO the strength OF THE MOUNTAIN, THE FURY OF THE THUNDER AND MY WILL IS UNBREAKABLE! I will not surrender to KNOW ONE
With all these posts with Uncle Cletus posting his racist/political poo poo that really doesn't have to do with football,
I feel it is time to read something rather endearing from a rural source in a football post from another forum.

I can't do this man's self-written biography justice but suffice to say he describes himself as a "hard working everyman."
Forget what the so-called experts are saying because this man is coming out with his own 13 bold predictions about the 2013 NFL season.

Among some of the bolder predictions (with extra bold added for emphasis)

quote:

The New England Patriots will not win the AFC East.
That's right, I said it. The New England Patriots will not win the AFC East. What about Bill Belichick and Tom Brady? Yes, I fully understand that the Patriots still have their evil genius calling plays and still have one of the most loved yet hated quarterbacks in NFL history. Yes, I know they went out and signed Tim Tebow, a natural born winner. Let me ask you this. How many snaps do you expect Tebow to take at QB? I don't expect him to take very many. In all honesty, I personally think that's a good thing. I do think Tebow will learn behind Belichick and Brady and eventually become a better QB because of it, but not yet.

The bottom line is this, agree or disagree, the Patriots are a gimmick team and teams are catching on. Take the AFC Divisional Playoff game against the Houston Texans. The Patriots utilized a lot of no huddle offense, and not just any no huddle offense. The Pats were using that garbage where they are snapping the ball for the next play practically 2 seconds after the whistle blows on the last play. It killed the Texans. The Ravens however were not playing that game.

quote:

The Cleveland Browns will win the AFC North.
Yes, I said it. The Cleveland Browns will win the AFC North, and no, this is not a typo. [..]
Mark my words; Norv Turner will be the offensive version of Wade Phillips this season.The hiring of offensive coordinator Norv Turner and defensive coordinator Ray Horton will prove to be a godsend to the Cleveland faithful. Phillips had problems putting it all together as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, the same way Turner had problems in San Diego with a similarly talented squad. When Phillips went to manage the defense alone in Houston, we got a violent stingy defense now affectionately referred to by the Houston faithful as The Bulls On Parade. Norv Turner will do the same to a horrible offense in Cleveland that has all the pieces to be special but just needs that special head coach and offensive coordinator combo that I think they have found in Chud and Turner.

quote:

Alex Smith will continue to impress and lead the Kansas City Chiefs back to the playoffs.
In my opinion the defense should be strong enough to give Manning and the Broncos a run for the division title, but they will fall short and have to settle for a Wild Card spot. The Chiefs fans will take it.

quote:

The Miami Dolphins will win the AFC East.
With the problems that the Patriots are having, they should still make the playoffs like I said earlier, but I don't think they will be strong enough to hold off the Dolphins this year.

If you don't love this dude then you will after reading this.

quote:

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys will miss the playoffs yet again.
The Dallas Cowboys to me are the NFL's version of the Toronto Raptors in the NBA, they have the talent, but they lack the chemistry.
This is not only the first time in the history of the world that the Dallas Cowboys were called the NFL version of the Toronto Raptors, but also the first time the Toronto Raptors were called talented.

Also RG3, Russell Wilson,Colin Kaepernick rule and "are the truth" EJ Manuel is a franchise QB and his team (the Texans) are going to gently caress up the Seahawks and win the superbowl.
I hope every one of his predictions comes true.

I hope that New England is caught in the middle of their gimmicky crap like trying to snap the ball in 2 seconds while all the refs backs are turned and that JJ Watt sniffs out the play and powerbombs Brady.
I want to see Chud and Norm marching triumphantly into the sunset and climbing over the broken bodies of Steelers,Ravens, and Bengals players.
I'd love it if the AFC West wasn't a poo poo show and instead the Chiefs just continued to hound and torment the Broncos at every turn and grind away at them.
Finally when they inevitably choke I want the Cowboys not just embarrassed but exposed nationally as not America's team but a fraudulent version of a terrible Canadian basketball team.

This man is a visionary who believes in a better football than even the football we watch.

I think Norv is a good OC and would have a chance to do a Wade Phillips type thing somewhere. Somewhere that isn't Cleveland, sadly :(

Also I wasn't really alive or at least aware while this was going on but Denver apparently spent decades like the Browns/Bills/whoever are now. I really want to be alive to see this happen again.
