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

it is fascist and wrong tho def

lag∞n, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 19:53 (seven years ago) link

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.

harry b 8/35 in the preseason

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

k3vin k., Wednesday, 12 October 2016 05:32 (seven years ago) link

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

here are some dudes who switched teams

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

lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 14:07 (seven years ago) link

yeah its unreal

also i'm kind of confused about the case, i thought it was a civil case?

k3vin k., Wednesday, 12 October 2016 16:56 (seven years ago) link

the current case is civil and hes under criminal investigation too

lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 17:30 (seven years ago) link

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

gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 12 October 2016 17:53 (seven years ago) link

they ill be top 4 seed.

Cle
Tor
Ind
Bos
Atl
NY
Det

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

lol forgot about that!

Spottie, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:36 (seven years ago) link

i think boston will be the 2 seed and rather easily

ya feel like teague is exactly the type of player theyve needed forever particularly

lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:44 (seven years ago) link

the also really need a #1 scorer but maybe turner can be that, prob still too young tho

lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:44 (seven years ago) link

yeah but he'll help and teague is a better scorer than hill was.

Spottie, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:51 (seven years ago) link

forgot parsons is now on the grizz. i keep waiting for them to blow it up. i guess they did fight really hard in the first round last year while missing a bunch of dudes.

brimstead, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 19:53 (seven years ago) link

grizz def should have blown it up after last year. they can still be like the 5 seed but what does it even matter

ciderpress, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 19:59 (seven years ago) link

hard to blow it up when u have an injured player on the first year of a max deal

lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 20:05 (seven years ago) link

i don't think they should have blown it up but giving chandler parson's knees a max deal could end up being very bad

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 12 October 2016 20:06 (seven years ago) link

aldo giving conley the biggest contract in nba history

Spottie, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 20:11 (seven years ago) link

some dubious contract on that team for sure

lag∞n, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 20:27 (seven years ago) link

I can't wait for the first Hawks/Celtics game. The over/under should be like 125. Both teams should be ridic on D

Heez, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 20:58 (seven years ago) link

Spottie, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 21:20 (seven years ago) link

if by some miracle the grizz are healthy it's a great starting 5 imo
