browns fandom is a spectacle in itself, the abject misery is something to marvel at

i know some broncos fans in L.A. and they're always on about that boring team, also john elway wasn't that good.
― nomar, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 17:50 (seven years ago) link
hah i love to tell them about how elway wasnt that good it drives them wild
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 17:52 (seven years ago) link
also it makes them insane that their hatred isnt reciprocated by pats fans
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 17:53 (seven years ago) link
one of my last NFL conversations was with a Broncos fan talking about Elway, i think i said something about how his best season was really impressive, like don majkowski in 1989 good.

hate football culture and concussions and all that but honestly if the game itself was super exciting, I'd watch it. but it's boring af. I like seeing Odell grab passes, I guess.

i do love football highlights. i watch every one on nba.com every sunday night
― Spottie, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 19:33 (seven years ago) link
I'll click on a recap of a game every now and then and will see scoring summary before deciding to view the game highlights video and it's like "3rd quarter...BEARS...2 yd TD run...LIONS 34 yd FG...4th qtr BEARS 44 yd FG...End of Game" and I'm like yeah I think I'm good w/o watching the video.

agree it is very boring imo, just a few moments of excitement amidst a few hours of stop/start nonsense

the grand championship game is watched by a billion people who want to see new commercials and maybe a good halftime show

I kind of like football but I'm really just looking forward to the day they put weight limits on linemen and invent some super helmets so no one has to die forty years early just because they played 8 years in the NFL
I think virtually every bit of strategy and skill involved would still be there if it was basically flag football
Taunting broncos fans is the easiest and most fun thing in football, they win just enough that you don't have to feel bad about it
Hoops is 1000x better though

Also goodell and the league machine can burn in hell, the old family cartel dynamic is so bad that football might be the one industry that could be improved by tech bros invading and DISRUPTING

Hoops, good people! Have patience. Hoops are in the offing.

football is exciting imo, between the repeating high leverage situations of constantly needing first downs the insane athleticism and the frequent come from behind wins its p tite
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 19:53 (seven years ago) link
it is fascist and wrong tho def
guys skilled at breaking tackles is one of few chances for excitement tho. but from what I've seen last 20 yrs there's much less of that going on than during Campbell/Payton/Sanders days.

For the casual football fan, RedZone is the best.
― schwantz, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 19:54 (seven years ago) link
football is objectionable from lots of angles but being surrounded by cowboys teams, fans, and ownership for 17 yrs was basically enough to make me want to quit the earth much less the sport

I actually swore off football when Kaeperneck got into an offseason sex assault scandal.

i just watched dwight put up 26 and 8 against the cleveland bench and i'm having a hard time not getting excited
― Heez, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 04:05 (seven years ago) link
but i am glad reborn4hd has that fwd one minute button so i never have to watch him shoot free throws
― Heez, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 04:06 (seven years ago) link
if dwight is willing to work within the hawks system and not demand bad post ups he shd get a ton of easy shots
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 04:45 (seven years ago) link
completely forgot dwight was on the hawks

i'm gonna need some kind of roundup before the seasons starts of all the dudes who switched teams
I kinda like the pacers roster
― Spottie, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 05:34 (seven years ago) link
Added Thad Young, Teague and Big Al plus Myles a year older. Swim Cap still in his prime

i was playing some "who he play for" with a buddy the other day and we kept stumping each other with some fairly big name players it's bizarre

they just need someone starting at the 2 who isnt named monta ellis. i would like to see gr3 given a chance at it actually - despite being bad in a lot of ways he can shoot threes and defend

i just have this premonition now that lin is going to drop 30 on the celtics in the season opener
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 13:41 (seven years ago) link
uhh horford is gonna be so good for the celtics this is the most perfect fit ever

the current case is civil and hes under criminal investigation too

Weirdest who he play for this year might be Jarrett jack on the hawks
He's like the least hawksy player ever and also didn't he shred his Achilles last year?

Yeah I uhh I need to calm down about the c's this year but I think they're going to be incredible even if they still need a #1 scorer who isn't under six feet; horford in the middle with that defense is gonna be disgusting

they ill be top 4 seed.

I think Charlotte barely misses, they lost some depth and marvin williams / nic batum were on contract years last year so i think they regress
― Spottie, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:07 (seven years ago) link
don't understand why ppl are so high on the pacers
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:19 (seven years ago) link
they upgraded some spots and cleared more playing time for Turner. PG another year healthier and he's only 26
― Spottie, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:24 (seven years ago) link
they also downgraded their coach idk how big a factor that is
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:31 (seven years ago) link
