Apparently, if Romo retired the Cowboys could have tried to get some of his singing bonus back, but they were never going to do that anyway. http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-corner-blog/article141140903.html

If we're just looking at actual QB play, Romo is #2 behind Staubach for the Cowboys. The difference is Romo wasted his peak years playing for garbage coaches in the "Drunk Jerry GM" era instead of playing for Tom Landry or Jimmy Johnson. By the time Garrett improved to league average and Jerry had started cutting back making personnel decisions while wasted on Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Romo's bones were pretzel sticks.

Eli Wiggum posted:Aaron Schatz doing all he can to pick the Pats winning it all without "giant loving homer" as his excuse Hilariously, Football Outsiders was leading the charge on TOM BRADY IS DONE in 2013, with hot takes built around how Tom Brady was letting Aaron fuckin' Dobson down. Figures they'd go 180 degrees the other way just in time for Brady to turn into a pumpkin from old age. Wasn't DVOA like hilariously overrating the Eagles for most of the season, before gradually "correcting" to have the Patriots at #1?

Volkerball posted:Strength of schedule ratings are meaningless at this point The Patriots 2016 schedule looked fairly hard going into it and turned into a cupcake. Look at what were assumed to be the hard games going into the season: Arizona: Went from playoff team in 2015 to trash in 2016 Houston: Brock is even sorrier than was assumed, absolute pushover Bengals: Went from 12-4 to 9-6-1, pushover Steelers: Big Ben out hurt when they played, tough game turns into cupcake

Kalli posted:That the Jaguars had no chance against them so the Broncos might as well sit around and jerk off instead of playing the game, then they did and the Jags killed them. Let's not lose sight of the fact that the 1996 Patriots were way worse at everything in football than the 1996 Packers.

They were a pretty  playoff team that just kind of had everything break their way until they ran into the Packers.The passing game was above average but not great or anything, the defense was league average, and the running game was below average even though they had Curtis Martin. Drew Bledsoe was always kind of dumb but could huck it real good. And that's kind of it, I think? Pats fans were thrilled to have him instead of the likes of Tony Eason, but him going against peak Favre and the #1 defense in the league was just kid of lol.

Kalli posted:They were a pretty good team, and the end result of a 4 year rebuilding process. Parcells really did turn the team around, but they were not in Green Bay's class in basically any category. It wasn't 1985 Super Bowl level disparity, but it still wasn't good.

MOAB is just a big conventional bomb, it is in no way comparable to a nuke. It's the difference between tons of TNT and the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of tons.

Shadow Over Innsmouth accurately predicted Pats fandom and its resemblance to a horde of gross fish people in 1936, and 1,936 is the number of Super Bowls we're gonna win by the time we're through with you fuckos. Ia! Ia! Your team being poo poo isn't our fuckin' problem!

The dirty secret of Pats fandom is that the old ones like me are actually the worst, because we believe that knowing who Tony Eason and Rod Rust are somehow entitles us to FUCKIN' EVERYTHING. Being the sports villain is so much better than being the lovable scrappy underdog, gently caress that poo poo forever.

Browns fans who don't like him anymore because, quote, "I have a hard time believing he can be as great as everyone says when the Browns have been so horrific during his entire tenure" are real. They are a tiny group, but they just might be the dumbest subgroup of fans in the history of everything. Point is, no sports opinion is too stupid to exist.

I just love the combination of stilted formality ( "Thank you to the President for hosting this honorary celebration") and pure loving doofus ( "Have a great day!")(Brady looks at ghostwritten official statement) "Great job, babe, really good work there. I just think it needs a personal touch at the end...and exclamation point! Yeah, that's it."

I wouldn't worry about Brady getting much credit for this, since he supported Trump early on with the MAGA hat in the locker and all that stupid poo poo. That just makes it 100x funnier for Brady to bail on him at the last instant for transparently BS  family reasons
