fuck Wes Welker >:O~!!!!!!

got a condition

to make up for his inability to grow beautiful viking golden locks or a decent cop moustache

Antonio Gates and Jason Witten are just well-adjusted normal people AFAICT

he is the love child of phil mcconkey and ed mccaffrey.

maybe this can be our rolling Tight Ends and Their Neuroses thread 2007

But Welker is not a tight end?

he's a regular WR? well dallas clark isn't really a TE either. I guess I just figure if you see a white dude catching passes between the hashmarks then that must be a TE, more and more the TE/WR distinction gets blurred these days because so many of them line up in the slot

wes welker is like 5'8! he's a scatback-type punt/kick returner!!

he's the second coming of Steve Tasker!

welker is about 60 lbs lighter and 6 inches shorter than dally clark. also, i refuse to call anyone named "dallas" by there given name, i give the tip of the cap to matt dillon in the outsiders instead.

during the jets game the announcers mentioned like 80 times how he reminds them of wayne chrebet and they werent even joking

He reminds me of the other five white wide receivers.

I had not realized dallas clark was like 6'3" and 250 pounds until yesterday, truth be told.

he's 240 or so? definitely more of a classic h-back build than te or wr but whatever.

Fuk u dude, he's awesome.
If you wanna hate, hate on Shockey.

shockey is the eric byrnes of the nfl

people just hate them because they have beautiful hair that they never wash because they are partying too hard

Shockey does not have beautiful hair.

the difference between byrnes and shockey is the former is playing way over his head and the latter has a big rep but he underachieves so bad that he's like the 3rd best TE in the nfc east

also their unintentional humor factor is on the same level for different reasons

Shockey's spike last week was the likely turning point of that game.

eric byrnes is great

you could argue that lj smith is better than shockey too!

thomas i love you so much for the byrnsy ref, have u been lurking ilbb

poly i have never agreed with so much as now~

eric byrnes is the stupidest person in the whole world as proven by science

During the 2006 post-season, Byrnes was an analyst for ESPN's Baseball Tonight show. He has also appeared on Fox's baseball pre-game show and The Best Damn Sports Show Period talk show. (In one appearance on the latter, he surprised everyone by jumping over the set's large coffee table in one leap. After he left, John Salley demonstrated his own difficulty attempting to simply step over the table, saying of Byrnes, "That white boy has got serious ups.")

that is what makes him so great jhyinlz, he is such a simple soul but is also such a delightful merrymaker!!!

there isn't anyone on earth that i more wish to be permanently disabled in a fireworks accident than eric byrnes. i can't stand that fucking douche.

so. this dude is pretty good, huh?

he kicked a 45 yard field goal in high school !

WHY IS EVERYONE WHO PLAYS FOR THE PATS FUCKING INDESTRUCTIBLE?

It's actually a front for a gov't supersolider operation.

like ben watson or sammy morris or laurence maroney or richard seymour?

I didn't mean indestructible literally. I just meant, there's a lot of talent on the team.

also, Ben Watson was playing today wasn't he?

this dude is so awesome; I can't wait for him to get paid next year so I don't have to watch him with the pats.
PLEEZ GO 2 TITANS

Hmm...have Brady throw to you and have plenty of opportunities to score or have Young throw to you and maybe have 3 or 4 td opportunities per year...hmm...

reche caldwell eyes for you: O-O

also, Ben Watson was playing today wasn't he?

never returned after rolling an ankle in the 2nd quarter. he walked off before halftime but never came back.

har! I'm just saying a Vince Young offense is not a receiver-friendly offense. Maybe if Billy Volek had gotten the nod...(Volek to Bennett was always fun to watch).

well my salcap football faith was not unjustified. the one guy on the pats I like besides bruschi. high fives. still wish the cowboys had won.

WAHT ABT THE GOD RANDY MOSS

I'm an atheist

FUCK WES WELKER
I HATE HIS STUPID FACE

my favorite welker moment was the indy game when he caught the clinching first down, got up and screamed "YOU FUCKING SUCK" to the db who was trying to cover him.

oh what an ass. yay!

i read that in bill simmons' column but i don't remember it happening. was it audible on tv?

no, that is A+++ awesomeness trashtalk.

xpost- it was via the wbcn parabolic microphone.

alls I know is Wes is a heart and hustle guy that puts it all on the field. Hate him all you want, he's the one laughing. and I'm the one mad that we traded him to a division rival.

if you like him you'll be happy that he stopped wasting his career on the dolphins.

i was reading the globe sports page online today where they had a interesting point, the pats basically traded deion branch for randy moss and the 49ers 1st round pick next year. the 1st round pick from seattle was traded to sf for their first next year and their 4th last year. pats traded that 4th for moss.

er, pats got a first next year and seattle's 4th last year which they traded for moss. nyquil must be kicking in.

well he had no say in the trade, so I don't implicate him at all. but is it so bad to wish one of your gutsier players was still on your roster?

I'm happy for him that he's getting the recognition he deserves now, but I wish he was still in aqua and orange

i mean it was great watching him but it was never without a sense of sadness that he was really the workingman for a team that was stuck in neutral.

isn't that everybody on the roster this year with any shred of talent? :)

not really. ronnie was getting his recognition, taylor got his last year. wes was a little different and i think you know that.

Wes won special teams player of the week in 2004. he wasn't exactly "unknown", he just didn't have national spotlight because, well, he played on the Dolphins. and note I never implied in my post that I was talking about pro-bowl caliber talent--that was your assumption.

special teams player of the week only equals "recognition" in the most literal sense. i don't think people should be going on about jason lehan if that's what you're asking.

oh wow can we have the rest of ILNFL devolve into you guys talking about shit teams? that would be sweet

I'm just saying it's not like NOBODY knew who Wes Welker was, a lot of fantasy players knew his name real well and he got several mentions in sportswriters' articles and was always mentioned during the Fins broadcasts.

Not gonna argue that he isn't in a better spot now because he's taken his game to a higher level for a team that's going somewhere.

was always mentioned during the Fins broadcasts.

PBTFGDDHDFDGSSDF

eat shit

tombotm, when did this piece turn into a fucken fins fan fagapalooza

I wish the Chargers still had him.

oh please ppl fucking live blog the browns and pats games. give me a break.

That's a good article.

oh wow

"Shelley and Leland Welker, at home with a portrait of Wes."

Right, except for that part
