Thanks for the neg rep but the statement wasn't racist. Most of the interviews I have seen with African-American players, sportscasters, talking head ex-athletes, etc. they do not have an accurate knowledge of the English language, or maybe they just think it is cool to talk ghetto. Either way they come across as being illiterate. Get mad at me if you want, but you should be mad at their teachers, coaches and parents.

Apparently [Ohio State Quarterback] Braxton's shoulder has been iffy at best all Spring/Summer. Meyer, Braxton & Tom Herman knew this and they knew he really shouldn't play this year. However they wanted the AP & Coaches to think he was playing so they could secure a high pre-season ranking. Then shortly after the rankings come out he miraculously re-injures the shoulder (apparently) and requires season-ending surgery. Real story is:

1) he was never playing
2) they wanted a high top five ish ranking
3) he wanted another full year of recovery/coaching before his 2015 Natty campaign with an absolutely stacked team
4) He'll enter the 2016 Draft as the projected #1 QB after Winston and Mariota go this year.

Oh man, here's an all-star post from the SBNation Falcons board regarding the topic of bringing Michael Sam to Atlanta.

Falconitus posted:

Not trying to be mean but

thanks, but no thanks. We don’t need a circus in town at this time. I’ve never seen a seventh round pick making headlines as much as this guy and the headlines are for something that has nothing to do with football. Maybe New Orleans?

And the hits...

Falconitus posted:

Really?

Most of the pre draft stuff I read had him listed as probably going I drafted or at best a very late round. The coming out stuff may have happened hoping for an edge. Regardless, it has nothing to do with football. If it wasnt for that alone I suspect no one would have ever even heard of this guy. Football needs to be about football and your sex life needs to be between you and whoever else it involves. IMO.
*If not for being gay as hell, no one would have heard of the SEC Defensive Player of the Year.

Holy poo poo

Falconitus posted:

I read that but couldn't figure out if

he needs to come to Atlanta because he’s gay or because he plays football. I’m thinking any time anyone makes football about things that have nothing to do with football it’s a mistake. Kinda like saying Johnny Football needs to be drafted by LasVegas because he likes to party. I’m thinking from a football standpoint many teams had a chance to draft this great defensive wonder and somehow dropped the ball. Could it be he’s not that great? No, of course not. We all know what it will be because of. That, we don’t need.

:barf:

Falconitus posted:

Yea, I hear tell he has moves

at getting into backfields that would make the average man blush.

Wow, That was a loving thread that kept on giving.

I need to figure out if Falconitus has a twitter feed, because I think it would be proof of a creator.

I love when people blame him for not keeping it to himself when he was basically keeping it to himself at Missouri, but he wasn't outright hiding it. The media found out about it, and Sam gave his statement so he could be the one to say it. He didn't do anything wrong. The reality show probably could've waited a couple years, but w/e.

Applaud the Football decision

Personally I could care less who he sleeps with (as long as it’s not a kid). I want players that would help us win. If there was an openly gay qb that could throw 4500 yards and lead us into the playoffs then sign me up. Sam played here with class. Fisher and Snead made a football decision. We don’t need to stack extra players on the D line. We need some depth on the Oline, qb, CB, and linebacker.

Sam played with heart. He solves a lot of problems… But they are football problems we don’t have. Would love to see him hit the practice squad and be there if needed.

Now let’s figure out the rest of the team. Was Mallet released?

He finished strong but he started off with a whopper.

When is America going to stop attributing pedophilia to homosexuality? Who the gently caress started that anyway?

Basically every monotheistic religion in the past two thousand years, in some form or another. Not just America, as well. There's been a longstanding 'connection' in people's mind that homosexualitiy also means you gently caress things like kids and animals, because that's just the level of depravity you're sinking to. This is obviously wrong, but it's going to take time to untangle a literal millennia of anti-homosexuality misconception.

But hey, people also used to think tomatoes were poisonous, now we cant get enough of them. Medieval thinking can and does get changed.

Yeah, man, I guess I just don't feel that kind of distinction is necessary, but since the rest of the post was coherent he probably deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Most Rams fans were lauding Sam and seem genuinely bummed he didn't make the roster or the PS. Falcons fans were discussing him because we have basically no one who can get after quarterbacks consistently except the Osi, who had a down year in 2013. Not confidence inspiring. Falconitis was a diamond in the rough, even on the Atlanta boards, his story needs to be a cautionary tale.

Any branch of Rivals, 247, or any small, team specific site is full of this kind of poo poo. Also applicable, the comments section on sports articles on newspaper sites, Facebook arguments about football (blur out names) and horrible political chat from football sites.

quote:

I enjoyed it much more during the pre-cap, pre-free agency years, but I still like it. I can relate to what you are saying. For some reason, I can't think of an upcoming season that has excited me less. I've barely paid attention this year from the draft forward (which is pretty unusual for me). I don't know why.

As far as non-Giants games go, I pretty much lost interest in most of those during the 1990s somewhere (probably coinciding with the rise of the cap/FA).

quote:

There was a thread a while back with pictures of Giants players from the 80's and 90's and prior. I can't remember if it was Greg or GoTerps that said it but, there was just something about those pictures that felt great. I think it was more than nostalgia. I think they represented a time when football was just more fun to watch than it is now.

Its just not the same anymore, and it seems like every year my interest lessens a bit more. I will always watch the Giants any time I can but, watching "football" just isn't what it used to be for me.

Our chances of winning just went down

Idiot five posted:

Him being a game manager is exactly why he should start over cam. While every other qb is studying the playbook, cam's playing cheerleader

Idiot six posted:

Cam must've saw Ron after the game, for fear of his starting job was in jeopardy! D.Anderson put us in the win column last Sunday, candy superman puts us in the loss column this Sunday!! Leave Anderson in!!!

I could continue. For the most part, these people have been called out for being crazy morons and there have been some legit concerns about Cam not rushing himself back too soon but c'mon, really? Derek Anderson has one good game in TYOOL 2014 and you wanna make him the starter?
