Bartimaeus Posted September 24, 2017 Author Posted September 24, 2017 yep. I hate snake drafts, but that's what I'm stuck with for this league. I much prefer to be drafting late, but it seems like I'm always drafting early... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Keyrock Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) We played like dog**** for most of the first half and it looked for a while like we were going to get blown out again, yet somehow we go into the half tied at 7-7. All things considered, I'll take that.

Keyrock Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Good rebound win for the Boys against a scrappy Cardinals team, just what the doctor ordered after last week's embarrassing loss. The Cards started out hot, but then a missed FG and a defensive adjustment by Rod Marinelli to go with 6 DBs ground Arizona's offense to a halt and shifted momentum. From there our offense got on track and we caught up, then pulled ahead to stay. DeMarcus Lawrence was the MVP of the game, making life a living hell for Carson Palmer.

Bartimaeus Posted September 26, 2017 Author Posted September 26, 2017 crappy Cardinals team fixed: without David Johnson, the Cardinals' defense can try all they can, but the offense ain't going anywhere Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Bartimaeus Posted September 26, 2017 Author Posted September 26, 2017 Also, on an unrelated note, I finally heard my first game of Tony Romo. He's still a little unpolished, but gosh dang, is he a breath of fresh air or what compared to the rest of these scrub announcers? He's having fun with it, and he's actually often insightful. Listening to most of the rest of the dull and unhelpful bums besides maybe Al and Chris sometimes really drives home how little most of these guys are actually contributing unless you're just listening to radio...and I think they actually have separate radio announcers, so what's the danged point?

Keyrock Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Detroit Lions' Akeem Spence: My father lost a contract because of my protest. Protests can have repercussions, that's always been true. When you protest you need to go into it with the knowledge that there may be consequences. Some people take great offense to people disrespecting the national anthem and I'm not going to say they are wrong to feel that way. People have a right to protest and others have a right to protest their protests. In this case, the protest (to the protest) came in the form of a denial of contract.

Hurlshort Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Sure, but it seems pretty bizarre to punish the dad.
ShadySands Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 I agree that people have the right to be offended even if they are usually the group complaining about people being offended but I also agree that it's strange that the consequences fall on the family who wasn't even involved.

Saw a video of some woman, owns a Steelers paraphernalia shop , now she is being boycotted and getting alot of abuse on social media, all she sells is Steeler stuff, she is well screwed over this.

That sucks. Unfortunately, there's always collateral damage in these kinds of situations. I mean, part of me wants to say that she's getting what she deserves for being a Steelers fan in the first place, but I won't, I'm going to take the high road here.

Keyrock Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Shamefully bad 2nd half by the Boys. Our defense was consistent throughout the game, consistently bad. Our offense was great in the first half and did a bunch of nothing in the second half. We got hosed by the refs on a terrible holding call that took a 2 point conversion that would have tied the game halfway through the 4th quarter off the board, but that doesn't change the fact that we played piss poor football in the second half and deserved to lose.

Bartimaeus Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 I'm pretty sure he's had comments like that in the past, so it didn't really come as a surprise to me. I guess they were kind of smoothed over since his MVP year, though. It's much easier to forgive a person for stupid stuff...and sometimes even horrifying stuff...when you like them for other reasons, I guess. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

ShadySands Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 ^I think that's the official position of the NFL and their fans I mean just look at all the horrible stuff players have been caught doing but we excuse because they're good and they're on our team Free games updated 3/4/21
