So...football is a no-no...but bangsticks are OK?
bangsticks are tools to provide decent protection against sharks and of course they are OK if you live near the ocean and go swimming/snorkeling/diving often. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

so, you make dozens of gun threads, don't own a gun; but we're the dorks for talking about football, among people that have watched football for the majority of their lives?

what the fuck is wrong with you?
What do you mean what is the fuck wrong with me? Even if there was, at least I'm not a dork...

Niners/Saints game has been bonkers. Anyone watching?
I watched. Pretty much the OMG game. Yeah, Kittle at the end, 4th and 2, Jimmie G's pass and Kittle's break, run and finish were play of the week, highlight reel stuff for the ages.

They put it on after the Redskins/Packers game ended and wow. Saints just going up by 1, probably go for 2 now.
IIRC, Saint's went for 2 twice in that game, failed both times. Super game in the Superdome.

yeah, Bills D is no joke. If only QB dude wouldn't overthrow his targets all the damn time, wide-open, they would have won. Very good game. ....hate that we were stuck with Skins/Packers and couldn't see the Niners/Saints
I almost never get to see the Niners 1p/4p games in New England. I was actually pleasantly surprised they didn't stick us with the Skins game.

The officiating in the Chiefs/Pats game is some of the worst I have ever witnessed in an NFL game.
They didn't run out of challenges that they kept getting right. The one challenge about the spot stood so they were 1/2. But it was BS, that should NOT have stood because it was obvious as shit that he didn't make it to the 40 yard line. He was at least 1yd short. Even all of the commentators said so too. No clue how that wasn't overturned.

Yeah, that was just miserable to watch. Sadly, screaming at the refs through my TV didn't change a damn thing except my blood pressure.

What he "means" is why insult long time members here by claiming those who love football are "dorks" and those that play it should be "cannon fodder". Now, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but sometimes it's best just to keep your trap shut. If I see a topic I'm not interested in I just don't read it or post in it.

lol like I said: NFC East should be banned from the playoffs, or maybe even demoted to a lesser league, like the SEC or some crap. (the one thing Soccer gets right--Premier league, anyway?--is that if your franchise sucks enough, you get demoted to a lesser league)

NFC West is 20/10/1 this year. One tough division!

OH Dorks... It isn't a matter I'm not interested in football. This is a matter of getting badly picked on in JR High and High School just because I was not any good at and didn't enjoy sports at all. I even gotten beaten up in JR High as well by a High School Jock.

Some Jr High and High School girls would flash me and tease me by flashing me and telling I can't touch them because I'm a fucking nerd... That sort of thing.

So tell me, did you also torment your fellow classmates who were geeks and nerds?

Oh man did this thread deliver.

They switched over to the Pats game after the local game ended. Has Brady looked that noodle-armed all season? Huge dropoff from last year. I know Brady's old but the zip just vanished, like he's injured or something.

He's definitely in the early stages of noodle arm; not nearly as bad as Old Man Manning at the end, though. But I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that he is now being forced to "move" behind and out of the pocket because the O-Line is so bad, and I think it is throwing off his game, now having to learn how to play QB in the NFL at his advanced age. :D

a hammer is a tool.

a gun has one purpose: human killing.

anyway, no one cares. take that shit elsewhere and please deal with your childhood traumas in a healthier fashion, and preferably away from our football discussions.

Flashed in jr and high school? Oh, the horror. I never even heard of stuff like that going on in grade school before, ever. Not in mine, for sure.
