rolling favorite player in the nfl thread

bears or vikings?

r.i.p. bears adrian peterson

speaking of rookies, Marshawn Lynch!!!

changed to t.o.

this will be a recurring theme.

donovan mcnabb!

last few:

ben coates then
sam gash then
lawyer milloy then
willie mcginnest then
mike vrabel now
randy fucking moss

brian dawkins
randymoss

that's it~~

oh yeah lawyer milloy, then and now (even tho he is clearly a broken down shell of his former self)

seymour was on the list for a while but he has been pretty much m.i.a. this last season and a half :/

oh and uh

#7

wait lawyer milloy is still in the nfl?

<3grady jackson<3

yeah, he was especially noticable today since deshaun foster was running through him like tissue paper all day~

haha i've yet to "notice" an atlanta game this year.

lucky u

young lawyer milloy could hit a fucking linebacker.

seymour was on the list for a while but he has been pretty much m.i.a. this last season and a half :/

he's on the physically unable to perform list. obviously no one outside of camp belicheck knows for sure but rumor is he developed a staph infection from knee surgery.

willie parker. i like his name and his game. also: t.o., desmond clark, brian griese.

Ocho
Brian Dawkins
Patrick Willis
Joe Nedney

portis, taylor, moss & cooley.

i'm still amused by janikowski, to (now that HE'S having fun again) and chad johnson.

oops forgot Nate Clements, horseshoe thanks for sending him our waaaay! ^^(^_^)^^

Yah, I do love Ocho Cinco.

travis laboy

i have been shouting his name like jay-z, in my head, all day

adrian peterson! he's all i got to look forward to!

Ted Washington. It's just a shame the guy is a lol hueg liability on the D-line.

Lendale White. Him and Jared Lorenzen need a cooking show.

Also (and I'm almost embarrassed to say it, but) Haynesworth.

c'mon dude, what about bullock?

goes without saying.
I love that dudes weird lil' baby head.

Roffles
Vince Young
Randy Moss!!!

Deuce.

adrian peterson still

but i'm so happy for randy.

http://www.nflplayers.com/images/players/37305.jpg

This little guy earned me 14 points in my fantasy league this weekend.

god nate clements is awesome. ;_;

randy moss is really adorable, I have to say. he looks like some woodland creature with those big eyes. but I am unmoved in my pats hate.

Laurent Robinson

gravy i didnt know you were a flacnos fan!!!!

i'm a bitter dolphins fan, so i couldn't have been more in the corner of daunte c. this past sunday.

no reason to be bitter, you have trent green!

Furburger (current #3 fantasy wideout)

Our shitty league was auto-picked, and I purposefully moved him up in my rankings to make sure I'd get him.

yay Adrian Peterson!

so glad i started him this week : D

any and all players in the AFC > any and all players in the NFC

lame bags

ok so I have to agree with hs
I love adrian peterson
BUT
if childress cannot make a playoff contender out of this team in the next year, he should be hung.

i think they might make the playoffs because the bears sure aren't ;_;

when longwell made that kick did you see that childress almost accidentally kissed some dude on the sidelines when they hugged <3

this is the part when we all intervene

no homo xpost

the only answer to this right now is adrian peterson.

peterson v. devin today was one for the ages. i can't believe i had the fucking rams game here.

if childress wants to go to the playoffs he better have someone other than tavaris jackson at qb.

jackson looked alright today i think. like if they can win when running the ball 42 times it really doesn't matter.

it's more troublesome that they gave up 31 pts to the bears.

jackson looked alright today i think.

i think he had nine pass attempts in the game? bears d is cooked.

i thought it was hilarious today when they were playing cover 2 when hester was @ wr like any safety could cover hester on a fly route when hester had a 20 yd running head start.

bears o looks tite(r) right now. at least griese doesn't look like a clown back there.

he had that decent pass to williamson. trent dilfer school of not fucking up, but w/ peterson/taylor that might end up working.

well their wrs were finally making plays after catching the ball.

think he had nine pass attempts in the game?

i mean completions, 9/23 for 136 yards. take away that 60 yard bomb where archuletta was left in man coverage with no help and it was 22 plays for 76 yards which is grossmanlike in it's inefficiency.

i thought it was hilarious today when they were playing cover 2 when hester was @ wr like any safety could cover hester on a fly route when hester had a 20 yd running head start.

hester was most effective as a decoy, he was clearing out the safeties and corners leaving olson and clark matched up on linebackers.

ok retract my statement about jackson. the fact that hester finally caught a ball is gonna multiply his worth as a decoy like crazy.

by caught a ball i mean caught a bomb td.

i'm looking forward to the day they finally try to bring him across the middle on a slant or something, it's gonna scare some defensive coordinator into a coronary.

it's still gonna take time for him to turn into a real bonafide reciever just like it took dante hall a while. devin couldn't even catch on as a wr at miami even during games against like duke and nc st. i dont think my brain can handle the idea of devin hester being an every down wr just yet.

i don't ever see him as anything more than what he's doing right now but i think the sight of him running anything other than the go/sland and go routes he's run so far would make some unsuspecting d coordinator swallow his tongue.

i would have gone to bed an hour ago if i hadn't stumbled across memphis belle on one of the spanish channels.

AAAAAAYUUUUUUDDDDAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

and it's odd that "belle" is a masculine noun in spanish.

well wesker!

MARSHAWN LYNCH, RUNNING/QUARTERBACK

there is really no other answer right now.

update 4 new season

BEAST MODE and brandon marshall

I have a special place in my heart for DeSean Jackson (who I grabbed late in the draft and seems like a gem - who might actually help to bring the Iggles to victory this year). But my favorite player this year is McNabb who just looked amazing these last two games. I haven't been this excited about a Philadelphia team since 2004.

mcnabb is <3 #1 dreamboat

so far this season, tom brady

still adrian peterson. that first half against the colts was stunning. i was kind of skeptical about him coming into his 2nd season, wondering if he would hit a sophomore dip, but i think the only thing that will stop him being a record-setting halfback is the number and size of the hits he keeps taking.

Patrick Willis- a beast

justin tuck

Fred Jackson, the number 2 RB for the Bills.

haha

rolling favorite Manning

adrian peterson is all i have left.

he is the best

clinton portis
coooooley

this was the news bulletin from my fantasy league team this week re: cooley
http://football.about.com/b/2008/09/16/cooley-sorry-penis-was-shown-on-his-blog.htm

yeah the cooley showing his own dick on the internet -- i mean how hard is it to not blog naked? also, how did he NOT notice that his cock was there in the picture? why is he reading the playbook naked? i have a lot of questions for chris cooley.

That's what I like to call a "loaded question."

Sproles' touchdown in the 4th quarter (on a screen pass, right?) = !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sproles' touchdown in the 4th quarter (on a screen pass, right?) = !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It reminded me very much of his touchdown against the Colts in the playoffs. It was just like "hmm, this guy is about 1000x faster than anyone else on the field, and no one can see him."

calvin johnson!

the two adrians - peterson and wilson - great dudes, greater name ;_;

~*~*~weapon x~*~*~

fav falcons are off the list (michael boley, lawyer milloy) after revealing themselves to be world-class dipshits - boley got arrested for hitting his old lady this offseason, lawyer DUI *makes 'drinky-drinky' motion with hand*

that's a shame; i've always liked milloy. marshawn lynch had a hit-and-run in the offseason. the woman he hit didn't die, but still. :(

yeah :[ w/marshawn you can at least chalk it up a lil bit to youthful stupidity, but a man of lawyer's advanced years has no excuse. in general i dont care about off-field goings on wrt players, but those two subjects - domestic abuse and drunk driving - are really not made into a big enough deal league-wide.

JUSTIN TUCK

Hines Ward will block a dude. I kind of like TO even though I'm embarrassed to admit it. You never know when the insanity will break out.

the way eisen pronounces "joe flacco" makes me like joe flacco, also, him throwing two blocks on that trick play

it still makes me laugh when deion sanders cracks up when rich eisen does that stupid cameron-from-ferris-bueller's-day-off voice to say adrian PEterson. eisen also called brian moorman the Moorman Tabernacle Choir in week 1 highlights.

that's funny w/ rich eisen/adrian peterson.

that will never not be hilarious

isaac bruce imo

"Wanna know more about Justin Tuck?"

"Yes Joe Buck. Yes I do."

did you guys see the "get to know more about a random player" pre-game segment on whatshisface from the vikings yesterday? talking about how he wants to eat a poisonous blowfish because japanese ppl are not very tough and if they can do it he totally can do it? and about his john stamos man-crush?

wait, was it on frerotte? i am not sympathetic to white men casting aspersions on the masculinity of asian men, even in jest. if it was a black player, though, i don't care bc i am INCONSISTENT.

i am also free to cast aspersions on the masculinity of indian men.

no it was a white guy but i don't remember which one. he didn't actually say the japanese are not very tough, i inferred it from his crazy machismo.

i think you probably inferred right.

I think my favorite player is Dallas Clark. That guy gets hit harder more often than any player in football. I've seen him get hit going for a pass a half dozen times that are just freakin' painful. Clark has that think like the old Bear Tom Waddle where he doesn't seem to keep common sense from letting him try to catch a pass when he knows he is going to get clobbered. Thing is about Clark he is often getting tagged by a huge ass linebacker instead of your usual safety or CB. Dallas will also make some of the craziest ass catches also like with two fingers and he wears #44 while playing TE. That's all pretty cool.

also, copstache

and his name is pretty pornographic

i) cooley's apology on his blog was hilarious:

We're Dumb

All apologies from the website. We are very sorry that we showed a penis on our website all day yesterday. That was by no means our intention and we did not want to offend anyone. The picture wouldn't have been up for so long, but we were in the middle of winning a big game. Once again, this was a complete accident and we regret not reviewing the post more closely. Thanks.

ii) i bet the white viking was jared allen, that dude just seems like a world class dbag to me

Jason Witten is a guy I would trade straight up for Antonio Gates. Love him to death.

yes, it was jared allen!!

the main reason i hate jared allen is he wears the number 69 and you can just TELL that he's the kind of dude who thinks it's unendingly hilarious

Domenik Hixon!

DeSean Jackson for '09

wups, meant '08, but that works too

how is eli even in the nfl, he looks like an intern. i bet he does not own one suit that actually fits properly, or even a dress shirt that fits properly. note, this is one of the reasons i can't hate on eli even after last year super bowl.

this is very important

With a shelf life in excess of 10 years, this bacon makes a perfect addition to your food storage program and it is great for every day use.

if you are not paid to be Chris Cooley's publicist you should be. he used to be just a haircut to me, and now he's a star.

i think his brother writes a lot of the blog to be honest. also the eastern motors WHERE YOUR BLOG IS YOUR CREDIT

spent disproportionate amount of time watching all patriots games last season & now realize, wait, it is awesome that my #1 team has guys with personality.

Still Deuce.

it's nice to have a team w/ a lot of personality. smoot was drafted a skin and is a fun character. cooley and portis are like two little riggos. santana moss is definitely low key, but is great. sellers is certifiable. kendall might end up being a coach or something...he breaks things down very well.

i like the improved on-field campbell, but he definitely veers in to bull durham-esque canned post-game quotes. i feel like maybe portis, etc. keep him a little loose. i think he's sort of funny in that geico commercial.

ever is a girelephant?
ever seen an alliark?? alligator and a shark!

YOUR JOB'S YOUR CREDIT!

please don't ever get concussed again, trent edwards!

I'm also totally down with Kyle Orton. Orton is a Bear pioneer in that he is the first QB they have ever had to run a no huddle offense. The Bears have finally graduated to the 80s in offensive football.

i'm goin' to disneyland!

ok so he's retired but seriously

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/peter_king/11/16/week11/3.html

Cherry says he cherishes the ring, and played football 21 years to get to the pinnacle of the profession. "But using this ring to help children who are starving ... and who have no hope will be a greater feeling than what I felt the day I actually won the ring.''

He's raffling the ring instead of auctioning it so all fans would have a chance to win it, not just the richest ones. Five tickets cost $10, and can be purchased at netraffle.org. Deadline for purchase is Nov. 27 at 9 a.m.

"After the decision to do the raffle was made,'' Cherry told me Saturday, "I said, 'Wow. I'm actually going to relinquish this ring.' It's not going to be easy. Before that season, I'd played football all my life, but I never won a championship. My high school team won one league game in Berkeley [Calif.]. I went to Cal. I started my career with the Saints, and we never won there.''

He got to the Patriots with the middle-class free-agency class of 2001, and as I reminded Cherry, that first Super Bowl team was a bunch of Je'Rod Cherries. It's fitting he won the ring with a bunch of blue-collar players like him.

Cherry's disappointed with the raffle kitty so far -- it's approaching $75,000 -- but he hopes even if the proceeds aren't what he hopes for, "I may spur someone who hears about this or reads about a person giving up such a prized possession to do something for others.''

dude @ my work was like "i was at an of montreal show @ 9:30 club, cooley was there and got a shout out from the band"

true!

[work holiday party, which is more like work than my work is like work. spent about an hour of it arguing about NFL mostly with fan of the football giants]

what would a redskins fan have to argue about with a giants fan at this point in the season?

the patriots

^lol xp

brian dawkins. i really really hope he doesn't retire this year.
other than the eagles, i'd say I like watching tom brady play the most, but right now i'll go with adrien peterson

Tony Gonzalez

chad ochocinco

Aaron Rodgers

Tie b/w Ochocinco and Dawkins, for reals.

larry fitzgerald
london fletcher

drew brees

another vote for ochocinco, too. i think the name change resulted in him upping his likability game tenfold.

whichever D-lineman is steamrolling peyton manning's crumpled ass.

Thats a small group, since Peyton's not on his back that often.

aaron rodgers

"Thats a small group, since Peyton's not on his back that often."

true, but when he is, i fully savor the moment.

What about: who is your favorite player on each team in the NFL? Is there any team for which you can't think of anyone?

For most teams, I wouldn't be able to think of one. I was just thinking this yesterday, that except for rooting for the Saints and a few other players I really like, football players are just big shambling piles of statistics to me.

prolly hines ward

the cowboys. even the patriots have randy moss. but the cowboys. yikes what douches.

I think I remember reading that one of the guys in the Cowboys front seven is a real sweet, smart guy. Can't remember if it's Spears or Ratliff or someone else.

demarcus ware seemed like a super nice dude on e:60. he and his wife went through some rough shit too.

i love marion barber. don't want to know if he's a douche.

yea marion barber seems great...based on last yr's hbo show of t.o. and pacman all acting up in the hotel and hes practicing classical piano

tashard choice also seems ok. also i <3 deon anderson

i'm just going to continue to think marion barber is a secret dbag so i can hate the entire cowboys organization without any reservations.

otm

yeah i think the way that i look at it is that the guys who seem "okayish" if i think super hard about it, i just assume they are terrible because they hang out with flozell adams and defend him basically.

i hate LeSean McCoy and I don't know why.

for a split second last week i thought, "aw that miles austin seems ok," but then i decided that he was probably going to do a lot of cocaine after the game and get to rapin'.

I watched a video of Marcus Spears talking on YouTube and basically he seems like that dude from the Green Mile.

Upon looking at the Cowboys roster, apparently they have Igor Olshansky, who I liked when he was in college, and kind of also liked when he was on the Chargers. He is from the Ukraine!

i hate ukrainian food so he's probably a douchebag too

they have this guy though! but he flaked out on the blog apparently and now tashard choice writes for it, and doesn't write about space aliens. but i like tashard choice too.

Need more defensive players imo

There is nothing that would indicate Nnamdi Asomugha is anything other than a wonderful human being, right? Because I would think the Raiders would thin out pretty quickly after that if it turns out he likes to drive drunk or something. Maybe Lechler, if punters count?

This has also made me discover that the Bucs' TE depth chart involves Kellen Winslow Jr AND Jerramy Stevens. Yikes. They do have a DE named Stylez White, and I liked Aqib Talib back when he was at Kansas.

There is nothing that would indicate Nnamdi Asomugha is anything other than a wonderful human being, right?

Yeah, he or Seymour is the correct choice for that team, no doubt.

STYLEZ WHITE!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/StylezWhite.jpg

Asomugha is 100% my favorite Raider. On the field for sure, and then the philanthropic stuff he does off the field, he's so involved and I like guys who take that seriously...he's just a great, great all round guy. He's always pretty engaging in interviews too.

why is he in oakland?

Because they drafted him and then franchised him over and over again.

And then they made him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.

Wikipedia says he is color-blind, so maybe Al Davis just likes having another color-blind dude around, and the fact that he is awesome at football is kind of a bonus.

KENNY FUCKIN' BRITT

damn, i waffled on whether or not to pick up Kenny in one fantasy league this week, but went with Thomas Jones instead (who didn't have a bad day). Still...damn!
