dunkman posted:I just moved to San Francisco from Dallas, and I was wondering if I should be a Raiders of a 49ers fan. I am originally from upstate New York, so I'm sort of a Bills fan, but not really. That depends if you want to hang out with smug white guys or "ghetto" people of every other race. I live in the South Bay and it feels like it is pretty much split across race and or class lines down here. All the Niners fans I know are so bombastic about their rings that it is intolerable. The Raiders fans are all just hoping to be relevant someday.

davecrazy posted:I don't get that. Not like the Niners have won anything recently, and the Raiders were last ones to play in a Superbowl. It's not like the Raiders don't have a championship tradition. They really walk around going '5 > 3 so lalalalla you suck'? I have literally heard SF fans say exactly that. "I don't give a poo poo bout your scrub team because only the Packers, Steelers, and Cowboys have real dynasties like us. So gently caress you losers and your fag teams." That was in reference to New England no less... This is only anecdotal of course.

So during last nights Seahawks game after Russell Wilson came out of the game in the third quarter I saw him on the sidelines with both elbows wrapped entirely in ice. I've never seen that before so I wanted to make sure, that's standard protocol for a qb after the game, right? And if so, why was it both elbows and not just his throwing arm?

Cole posted:I could be totally wrong, but I believe tennis elbow is caused by inflammation and ice helps prevent that. Not sure why he would have to ice both though. I realize ice baths are a regular thing, but seeing him do it during the game was odd. Maybe it is an old habit from baseball?

SteelAngel2000 posted:Why isn't spiking the ball intentional grounding? It's the textbook definition of intentional grounding. You should probably take this one to the rules thread, but I think it is a specialized play that they allow because it adds to the game. Or do you mean spiking like when Gronk scores a touchdown?

Batoot posted:Yeah I'm sort of afraid of he getting injured, he's gotten alot of hits already. And the recent concussion .. hopefully he'll be a bit more careful. People talking about him being a bust, what's that about? Is that still an issue or is it more about the pre-draft? I like watching alot of teams, but I just find myself cheering more for the Redskins because of RG3. If he got the franchise into the playoffs that would probably be a good start, but it won't happen on his rookie year. Because obviously this is a team game. And yeah, I heard about Snyder and his awful ways. I'd love to hear more on why he's a lovely owner. But please, tell me more about the pros and cons of being a Redskins fan. Seriously, the name Redskins is really loving racist. Where are you from? Pick the worst slur you can think of and apply it to a team name. That is what you're about to cheer for. Go be a Tampa Bay fan. They could use help. Zorkon posted:

"At first they'd get hit in the face and start crying, then they learned not to be afraid of the ball" or some other crazy child-scarring sports dad quote here instead. He would line them up in front of the garage and throw the balls at them. As they grew older (6 or 7) he would use a racket.

jeffersonlives posted:Thomas left his feet and waylaid Tannehill high and late. I'm not arguing this point. He did hit high, and it was a little late. But I would like to add, for those who did not see it, that Thomas was running full speed at Tannehill and jumped into the air to bat down the pass. I would make the argument that his intent was not to make the hit.

Dey Yah posted:I know they occasionally have Co-MVPs in the NFL, but a quick check of Wiki shows that there's never been a co-DPotY. If, say JJ Watt and Aldon Smith both get the sack record this season, is there a chance that they could split that? Is that something that they can do? I think the last two weeks have demonstrated that Watt solely deserves the award over Aldon. Smith is an amazing pass rusher, no doubt. I would absolutely rather have him than Bruce Irvin. That said, without Justin Smith he seems to have been dramatically exposed. JJ Watt, on the other hand, seems to be making his plays through his own ability and not the scheme helping him out. He is also doing it from a position that does not normally record record sacks. (lol record record) Plus Watt is a threat to bat down passes as well.

Does anyone know how they choose the Hall of Fame Game teams? Is it just a raffle? Because the choices always seem so random to me. Cowboys vs Dolphins and last year was Saints and Cardinals. Obviously it is AFC vs NFC, but beyond that I just can't see a pattern.

I was hoping they would have some rhyme or reason, like at least choosing teams that some of the inductees played for. So if four of the inductees had played for the Cowboys or Dolphins this year would make sense. Otherwise...
