Tim McG Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 OK. Niners suck, basically. Owner Jed York and GM Trent Baalke are destroying the team once again by keeping a lousy OC Greg Roman, chasing Coach Jim Harbaugh and meddling in the day to day operations of the team. A pathetic 7-8 after three straight NFC title games and the solution is fire the coach? Wow. Well, that's my NFL input for this year. Carry on. Go (SF) Giants. Quote

paul secor Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Ndamukong Suh was suspended for one playoff game after he stepped on Aaron Rodgers' leg twice during yesterday's game. They should just kick him out of the league permanently. Players get hurt easily enough without a bum like him doing what he does. Quote

Utevsky Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 It looks like the Seahawks will be back in the Super Bowl, with a great chance to win it. Their offense has gotten much better over the season, and the defense is absolutely incredible. Personally, I hope they face the Patriots in the big #XLIX, so that Tom Brady can join Peyton Manning in the ranks of "elite" losers. Quote

While it seems a bit harsh, I do not disagree with your proposed punishment. He is a repeat offender, and it could be argued that he's the dirtiest player in the NFL. Sitting him for a game is silly. They need to suspend him for an entire season and impose mandatory anger management counseling. How this punishment can be explained when considering Josh Gordon's twelve game suspension is beyond comprehension.

Personally, I hope they face the Patriots in the big #XLIX, so that Tom Brady can join Peyton Manning in the ranks of "elite" losers. I wouldn't start counting those chickens just yet. Green Bay and Dallas are playing at a pretty high level right now. Quote

Scott Dolan Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 I'd say Bayless is the lying alcoholic. Quote
JSngry Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Don't know the man myself. He earned a lot of goodwill from me for blowing open the teetering-doddering cesspool of cynical manipulatory hubris that was the last years of the to-me-reviled Landry/Schramm DieNasty, but has long ago squandered it all because, although he's never to my knowledge straight up told a lie, his habit of framing speculations and observations in the most sensationally bullshitty manner imaginable has rubbed me the wrong way almost as much as if he has, and probably cumulatively more so, because, you know, a man in his position can only tell so many lies and live to tell another one professionally, but a bullshitter like Sklippo here can just go on forever. He did write one column about racing somebody up Central Expressway from Downtown Dallas to, I think, Plano, during the pre-rush hour afternoon, that was as funny in the reading as it probably was foolhardy in the doing. But you live around here long enough, you get used to seeing it, and I'd be the lier if I said that in my younger days I didn't ever open it up and do the bob-and-weave @ 90+ my own self once or twice. But, you know, that was then... Quote

Larry Kart Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Bayless was a columnist for the Chicago Tribune for a while when I was there. A total disaster and loathed by one and all. Quote
JSngry Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Was that before or after Dallas? Quote

Like maybe $70 to the rest of us. He's not a repeat offender because he's gone two years without being fined or suspended, even though he's been fined 8 times and suspended once for two games prior to that. The NFL is a joke. Quote

Unfortunately, we've known the NFL is a joke for far too long. I thought Tagliabue was a disaster, until Goodell took over. I remember in hindsight Rozelle ended up looking pretty good when compared to Tagliabue. And Goodell is doing the same thing for Tagliabue, something I would have found impossible years ago. And yeah, isn't that whole 32 month thing they wrote into the rules a load of shit?! Again, Josh Gordon got 12 games for weed. Quote
Larry Kart Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Was that before or after Dallas? "In 1998, Bayless chose to leave Dallas after 17 years and become the lead sports columnist for the Chicago Tribune." Quote
Scott Dolan Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Hey, Jim. What was the deal with the end of the Landry/Schramm era? Quote
JSngry Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Oh, The Regime were backstabbing players in all kinds of ways to keep them locked up at bargain prices, the team had lost all faith in The Regime. Landry was out in a world of his own and everything, everything was broke and not gonna get fixed. It was just a sick, sinking ship, getting more sick and more sunk every day. Skip was the only one in the press not toeing the party line, he dropped it all out there for everybody to see, and it made him an easy target. You can say that he was an asshole, and no doubt eh was and still is. But time has proven him right about this one thing. Credit due where credit due. Still, stopped clock right twice a day, etc.When Mark Cuban - another guy I'm not totally fond of - took him to school, ate his lunch money, and shat it back onto him, that was sweet as sweet got. Was that before or after Dallas? "In 1998, Bayless chose to leave Dallas after 17 years and become the lead sports columnist for the Chicago Tribune." Ah, ok. He was probably permanently rurnt by then. Funny, his brother seems like such a nice guy. Quote
paul secor Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Bayless and Stephen A. are an over the hill vaudeville act that should be retired - and would be, if not for the fact that the American sports public is even more ignorant than the American public at large. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 I agree, Paul. Then again, I swore off of sports pundits many years ago. But, being a sports fan it's impossible to avoid their toxic dribbling completely. The only thing more contemptable and worthy of immediate dismissal than sports pundits are political pundits. Quote
JSngry Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 The Ongoing Curse Of Jerry Jones has upped itself up a notch from comically absurd to sinister. Cowboys fans would be well-served to get the pitchforks, stakes, and focused laserdeath rays ready before more innocent people get hurt. Give Satan what he paid for, now, and let this team finally be able to play some natural football. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 I don't know. A team that should have only won four or five games won 12, along with a wildcard playoff game, over achieved enough to make you think Jerry already made a deal with the devil. Quote
GA Russell Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 John Fox is out as Denver head coach. https://news.yahoo.com/john-fox-4-afc-west-titles-4-playoff-230356508--spt.html http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/denver-broncos-john-fox-peyton-manning-part-ways-011215 Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 This is the sorry state the NFL (R.I.P.) finds itself in today. Can you imagine coaches like Don Shula or Chuck Knoll being fired with the record Fox has rolled up in Denver? The game, and all its trappings has changed so dramatically over the decades that it's almost unrecognizable at times. Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 To this relative novice, Fox does look good on a sideline, but something for sure didn't go right in Denver this year and maybe before that there as well. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) To this relative novice, Fox does look good on a sideline, but something for sure didn't go right in Denver this year and maybe before that there as well. Things obviously went pretty well there last year since they made a Superbowl appearance. The problem is Peyton Manning is 38 y.o., and his career is essentially over. Now that Fox has been jettisoned, that will perhaps seal the deal for Manning. Unless Gace stays and takes over the reins. The last thing Peyton would have any patience for at this point in his career is learning a new playbook. And I believe Thomas and Thomas are both FAs this offseason. Losing either would be a pretty huge blow to that offense. Edited January 13, 2015 by Scott Dolan Quote
