Thanks, Patriots

[Felix]

I fail to see how that makes it acceptable to cheat and act like cunts because you were called out for cheating. It is a team of cunts owned by cunts and cheered on by cunts.

look, I know you're bitter because your team sucks pond water, but repeatedly calling them cheaters doesn't take away from the fact they may ultimately prove to be one of the best teams ever to take the field.....

their legacy will only be tarnished to bitter fucks like you and Don Shula.....

And anybody else who cares about the game. They could never lose another game ever and I'll still never respect them.

fuggin please.....save your "integrity of the game" speech for the Pop Warner bunch...that's about the only place it's applicable in this day and age.....your $100 $200 tickets should tell you that....

but I'm glad to see you and mvs have finally found a common "enemy" for which to vent your hatred toward.....

I guess when you have beaten the Squeelers and Chargettes like drums over the past few years a certain hatred is expected. Hate on people. We love it up here!!!!!

alright lets get something straight here...I have no great love for the Patriots (save for having Brady as my QB in a fantasy league :D ) but this whole "cheating" thing is blown way out of proportion.....

to me, ass clown players that stick fucking needles into their bodies in an effort to turn themselves into hulking behemoths that run like fucking gazelles is a much bigger threat to the integrity of the game than the Patriots taping an opponents coach.....

no love for them, but love watching them play.....

I understand completely. As a sports fan, especially of the NFL, its almost as important to have a team you love to hate as a team that you love. The Patriots provide plenty for both sides of that ideal. Most people understand that and enjoy the polarity of the situation while they pour their vigor behind either side that they favor. Tapegate is a huge scar on the face of the Patriots and the end result is what you have now - a team that has the will and talent to take the game to a level unseen before their time. A 'Perfect Storm' of circumstances if you will. IF the Patriots run the table, we all as fans will recall this season fondly for years to come - whether we are Patriots fans or haters. The Patriots have brought a lot of passion out of us fans, good or bad, during this season. We can all respect that - for the love of the game.

If you were calling me "bitch," well, then nice job on misdirecting your bile and showing a serious need for anger management and reading comprehension. I specifically qualified my relaying the incident by stating that Hargrove may well have been talking shit, but that if he were accurate, then Brady was a wuss. I still stand by that.

Yes, bitch... I am calling you a bitch. I clearly used the word suggest. You need to familiarize yourself with the meaning of the word, because you sure as fuck implied that Brady could possibly be a “prima donna.” I never said you were offering this up as a statement or a fact. Do you understand the difference between the two scenarios? It's a subtle difference, for sure. Sort of like comparing your chromosomal make-up to someone not afflicted with Down's Syndrome... but it does exist.

The only mistake within with my post was assuming you actually watched the game you were posting about. My bad! Seeing as how you didn't, I will relate to you what happened. Hargrove clearly committed a personal foul that wasn't called (NBC showed the replay like 8 times.) On another occasion, Buffalo had a borderline roughing the passer penalty that wasn't called. Both times, Brady barked at the officials. To anyone with a half-functioning brain stem, he was working the officials… hoping for a make-up call on a future play. Do you even watch football… ever?

No one who watched the game would lend any credence whatsoever to what Hargrove had to say. Clearly, if those exact words were uttered by Brady, then it was to berate the officials for not doing their job. It has nothing to do with being a prima donna or because he’s a pussy --> as your shit-laden post clearly suggests. Go fuck yourself. Happy Thanksgiving.

Then you are a grade A, certifiable moron.

But that's hardly news to anyone who reads your posts.

You need to familiarize yourself with the meaning of the word, because you sure as fuck implied that Brady could possibly be a “prima donna.”

I know exactly what the word means. I have degrees and everything. From actual accredited institutes and everything.

YOU, on the other hand, apparently need a dictionary, a "Word A Day" calendar, or some other resource to help your pathetic skills. Christmas is coming up, so ask your care provider to pick one up for you.

IF Brady did, in fact, go whining to a ref about a legal hit, as Hargrove claimed (twice, in fact, since he repeated his account on the same radio program this past Wednesday, when the DJ's at Buffalo's 103.3 named him the Bills "Player of the Week"...), then Brady is a little bitch, a prima donna, a starlet-dating prettyboy who is offended that football players would actually [sob] hit him hard.

Yep. And you know what? You are the absolute ONLY person to get their panties in a knot over this.

Let me say this again:

The ONLY one.

Now, I have the word of an internet idiot (that would be YOU, Corky) against that of one of the two actual players involved. Toss in the fact that you had a fit of apoplexy over a post that completely agreed with pretty much every point you had previously made except for a section criticizing your dreamy QB based upon a firsthand account provided by an opposing player...one of the actual two involved. You see why I'm not taking you seriously, you poster child for oxygen-deprived fetuses?

By the way, Braniac, you've yet to come correct on accusing me of taking anything out of context, when the indisputable truth of the matter is that I accurately relayed the information given (twice) by Anthony Hargrove. The only person in the situation who could have taken the phrase out of context was Hargrove.

Then again, you're a whiney little bitch, like your QB, so I guess the board and myself will have to endure another series of purse-swinging hissy-fits instead of any intelligent, integrity-based response.

No one who watched the game would lend any credence whatsoever to what Hargrove had to say.

Sayeth the internet dweeb whose torch for Brady may perhaps color his views. No offense, but Oscar Wilde WISHES he was as gay as you are in this thread.

Clearly, if those exact words were uttered by Brady, then it was to berate the officials for not doing their job.

Oh, well, OBVIOUSLY (that's sarcasm, sport). No one as privileged as Tom Brady would ever complain to the officials about anything OTHER than completely unsportsmanlike conduct by opposing players. Ever. He'd never pull the "star" bullshit on a nationally-televised game that was moved to showcase him...errrrr...I mean HIS TEAM! No, he's a down-to-Earth guy who doesn't let his publicity go to his head at all.

Jeez, you are a deluded little fuck.

[War Wagon]

heh-heh-heh

Rack Lab Rat. Methinks ucant stepped in a bit over his head this time. I did that, once.

[smackaholic]

question about the qb pussy slide rule. is he down the moment he hits the turf? or is the ball marked where he stops sliding? if it is the latter, defensive players should be allowed to drill him through the fukking turf.

when did this rule come into effect? never remember bradshaw using it? ofcourse his big dumb country ass prolly wouldn't have used it anyway as he was bigger than most linebackers or safeties of the time.

[trev]

Rack Lab Rat.

It's hilarious that ucant is in here complaining about a knee into his widdle QB. U would make a great soccermom.

[Dinsdale]

YOU, on the other hand, apparently need a dictionary, a "Word A Day" calendar

Not to go all UCan't or anything...


But please tell me you didn't throw down this monumental insult to Proper English while bragging about degrees and suggesting that other people "need a dictionary."

I was under the impression that what you're in the process of doing (a drive-by grammar lesson) is known as "pulling a dinsdale."

For example:

"In the middle of someone else's thread on football, Bob decided to 'pull a dinsdale' and give a pedantic and off-topic lesson on the proper use of ellipses."

I may be the first person to point this out, but giving incredibly boring lessons on "Proper English" isn't exactly considered a positive contribution to a sports thread, a science thread, a political debate, or pretty much ANY topic outside of an "incredibly epic" grammar thread. Maybe you could find some frustrated English majors working at Borders who'd find it a hot topic. I imagine that folks laughing about someone else using the wrong number of periods/dots in ellipses is right up their "smack alley."

...awaiting the doubtlessly EPIC English 101 dismantling of my post!!!

Last week's posting barrage was an anomaly if you check how prolific I've been with mashing the submit button the last few months. After taking last week off from extra-curricular activities (namely an MBA and consulting work on the side), I will resume my standard 75+ hour work/school week. I don't imagine I'll be posting much until Christmas. Let's amend the bet with the following provision. One week Sig, or 25 posts, whichever lasts longer.

Congratulations. Your team lost, but there's definitely doubt in my mind as to NE's Super Bowl chances. Talent won out in the end... but the Patriots were manhandled for much of the evening.

[Dinsdale]

"In the middle of someone else's thread on football, Bob decided to 'pull a dinsdale' and give a pedantic and off-topic lesson on the proper use of ellipses."

WHOA!

Back the truck up there, bud.

I didn't go looking to run grammarsmack -- you fucking BEGGED for it.


Sorry, bro -- but YOU were the one who went to the "dictionary" card.

YOU were the one who bragged about degrees from accredited universities.

And YOU were the one who then proved that degree to be overpriced.

Don't even fucking try a reversal, bud. YOU made your bed, and you quickly shit it. You can cry about me pointing out your shortcomings all you like. And if me doing so bothers you...

The solution is within your grasp. You can either try writing at a level that would get a passing grade in a 7th grade English class, or you can back away from the "you need a dictionary/I have a degree."


I don't care how anybody hammers out their thoughts, so long as it's somewhat intelligible. But the minute you start bragging about your education while bashing the education of other people, and then you subsequently prove that very little of that"education" you're claiming superiority for having just didn't sink in...


You're dropping to your knees and begging for ridicule.


So... those are your options. Quit bragging up your education then immediately proving it to be subpar, or maybe lay off the "I'm more educated that you, you should get a dictionary" while making three errors in a 4-word span.


Don't like the Patriots running up the score? Keep them out of the endzone. Don't like having your "education" mocked? Don't make a mockery out of it. Pretty tough freaking concept, eh?


Just calling them like I see them. Bragging about your education while insulting other people's, then in the same papagraph proving yours ain't worth shit either is a fucking tard move, plain and simple. Dance around the issue all you like and try to spin it against me, but the crux of the matter is you just went yard/tard on yourself -- I was merely pointing it out.

And the really amusing part, Mike, is that you're usually a fairly astute writer when it comes to relaying your thoughts here... you just picked a very odd time to decide to be a loudmouthed braggart with questionable writing.

[ucantdoitdoggieSTyle2]

What do you expect, Dins… he’s theorizing about the meaning of a uncorroborated account spewed by a no-talent hack. Beyond deriving pleasure from seeing his name in the papers, and of course, driving his knee into the back of a defenseless QB, I have no idea what this loser’s purpose in life is. It sure as fuck isn’t winning football games. Perhaps he should have spent more time preparing for Jacksonville and less time babbling on the air about God knows what.

Admittedly, I don’t know Tom Brady very well. For a 3-time Super Bowl winner, he sure as heck seems to avoid the spotlight… as does the rest of the team. When I think of New England football, the last word that comes to mind is prima donna. That shit doesn’t fly here. Randy Moss, former biggest cancer in the league and model citizen since arriving in Foxboro, out front should have told you. Not going for max dollars when Brady’s contract came up so the team could build around him out front should have told you. Not signing on for commercial after commercial after commercial like other Super Bowl wining QB’s (sup Peyton Manning?) out front should have told you.

Mike, if you want to disseminate the ramblings of some bitch who’d just gotten his ass handed to him 56-10, fine. You and your cheap-skin(s) can go fuck yourselves. I wouldn’t wipe my ass with your diploma(s) because I have more respect for my stool than to defile my shit in such a perverse manner. Good day.

[Mike the Lab Rat]

Horseshit.

It's what you live for. It's what you're known for.

Sorry, bro -- but YOU were the one who went to the "dictionary" card.

I did so in response to ucant's claim that I didn't know what the term "prima donna" meant. Since he claimed that I didn't understand the meaning of a word, I made a point of referring to a specific reference book to which one often refers when determining the meaning of a word.

That'd be a dictionary, sport.

So, the reference was appropriate when I posted it.

YOU were the one who bragged about degrees from accredited universities.

And YOU were the one who then proved that degree to be overpriced.

Really? You didn't like my grammar in one line of an entire post and that makes my degrees "overpriced?"

You're not just dabbling in hyperbole, you're frigging wallowing in it.

Get a grip.

The solution is within your grasp. You can either try writing at a level that would get a passing grade in a 7th grade English class, or you can back away from the "you need a dictionary/I have a degree."

How about another option - you get over yourself. No one appointed you the "Queen" in the phrase "the Queen's English."

It's a smackboard, junior. No one honestly give's a rat's ass about meticulous grammar, how many dots are in ellipses, etc. It's not remotely interesting and it doesn't really impress anyone. The statement I wrote was, contrary to your assertion, completely comprehensible. You may not have liked how I phrased it, but the judgement of a smackboard scold hardly makes my tuition a waste.

I don't care how anybody hammers out their thoughts, so long as it's somewhat intelligible.

Once again, horseshit. Time and again you've made a point of correcting grammar as if we actually had a vote and elected you "Anal Retentive Grammar Scold."

And if you honestly had a hard time comprehending what I wrote, it would seem that YOUR tuition money was wasted. Or that maybe the brain cells needed for reading and processing took a few hits...when you did. In any event, you usual penchant for gross exaggeration doesn't serve you well here.

Don't like the Patriots running up the score? Keep them out of the endzone. Don't like having your "education" mocked? Don't make a mockery out of it. Pretty tough freaking concept, eh?

No doubt, both the academic institutions from which I received degrees were sweating bullets about how this alum made them look on a smackboard. Good thing you came riding on in here (for the umpteenth time) on your high horse to defend their honor. I'm sure that Geneseo and the U of R are both grateful for efforts.

Good Lord, but you're a pompous boor.

Dance around the issue all you like and try to spin it against me, but the crux of the matter is you just went yard/tard on yourself -- I was merely pointing it out.

Really? Did you notice it offending...well...ANYONE ELSE? Nope. Apparently you are the only one who honestly finds the whole thing to be that offensive to their sensibilities. I don't see any huge pile-on developing based on my alleged grammatical sins. Hell, the only other people who actually responded to the post actually seemed to approve of it. Then again, they don't have the latest editions of Funk & Wagnalls and Merriam-Webster shoved up their rectums.

And the really amusing part, Mike, is that you're usually a fairly astute writer when it comes to relaying your thoughts here... you just picked a very odd time to decide to be a loudmouthed braggart with questionable writing.

Gee, that little tip of the hat means just so much. And since you -being someone I respect immensely- threw me that bone, maybe I'll take some time to reflect on my sins and reconsider my earlier post.

Uh, right.

As usual, you've proven yourself the same pompous prig who tries to turn a sports thread into a grammar debate.

Kudos.

[Mike the Lab Rat]

What do you expect, Dins… he’s theorizing about the meaning of a uncorroborated account spewed by a no-talent hack.

As opposed to the fully corroborated account given by...you?

Beyond deriving pleasure from seeing his name in the papers, and of course, driving his knee into the back of a defenseless QB, I have no idea what this loser’s purpose in life is. It sure as fuck isn’t winning football games. Perhaps he should have spent more time preparing for Jacksonville and less time babbling on the air about God knows what.

On that latter point, I agree.

Admittedly, I don’t know Tom Brady very well. For a 3-time Super Bowl winner, he sure as heck seems to avoid the spotlight…

Not signing on for commercial after commercial after commercial like other Super Bowl wining QB’s (sup Peyton Manning?) out front should have told you.

I guess this link backs up your "I don't know Tom Brady very well" claim. Even though Manning seems ubiquitous, it turns out that Brady made $9 million in endorsements...only $2.5 million less that Manning.

From the article:

"Not that Brady’s an endorsement slouch: he and his offensive linemen starred in a campaign for Visa credit cards in the 2005 season, and he’s also pitched Cadillacs, a Dunkin’ Donuts sandwich, Gap clothes, Sirius Satellite Radio and more recently, Movado watches"

Manning is a shameless attention whore, but Brady sure as hell isn't some hermit. Yes, he's very selective about his deals and could make a hell of a lot more if he wanted to, but the fact remains that he made $9 million because he's a star prettyboy QB.

I don't begrudge Brady a dime of his endorsements, but don't for a frigging SECOND try to claim that he keeps a low profile (knocked-up model anyone? supermodel girlfriend anyone?).

Mike, if you want to disseminate the ramblings of some bitch who’d just gotten his ass handed to him 56-10, fine. You and your cheap-skin(s) can go fuck yourselves. I wouldn’t wipe my ass with your diploma(s) because I have more respect for my stool than to defile my shit in such a perverse manner. Good day.

Wow. Do you kiss Brady's 8x10 with that dirty mouth? For shame.

[Dinsdale]

Your degrees are indeed overpriced, yet this post is priceless.

After bragging up your degrees, and immediately showing their worth and getting called out for it, you decided to defend yourself by making even more punctuation errors.


Awesome. Totally awesome.


Some of those dictionaries you speak of have punctuation guides in the back... maybe you should look into getting one.

[Nacho]

just felt the overwheming need to write a few lines with bad punctuation and spellings so that dinsdale can complete his orgasim....

I think it's a hoot that you've referred to my degrees as "overpriced" on two occasions based upon crap written on a smackboard.

OTOH, I'm sure that YOUR alma mater must be incredibly proud of how one of their alumni has managed to put his education to use - racking up almost 16 THOUSAND posts on one freaking chatboard in less than three years. Many of those posts are undoubtably focused on annoying other posters by focusing on the proper use of parentheses, ellipses, conjunctions, commas, etc. in threads devoted to sports (or other time-wasting crap). Outstanding use of an education. It definitely makes you eminently qualified to judge the academic abilities of other folks.

After bragging up your degrees, and immediately showing their worth and getting called out for it, you decided to defend yourself by making even more punctuation errors.

And after getting called out for being an anal-retentive, tedious bore who obsessively nitpicks over the minutiae of English on a board that wallows in vulgarity and colloquialisms... you turn around and prove my point again.

Awesome. Totally awesome.

Yeah, it's frigging great.

Look, your tired shtick pretty much consists of the following two types of posts:

1) Acting as a one-man Chamber of Commerce/Bureau of Tourism for the "hallowed U&L," arguing that basically anything from that region (beer, music, wine, women etc.) is superior to the corresponding product from any other region on the Earth. According to you, every damned thing is better there. What's damned funny to me is that after you myopically pump up your region...you get into a huff about people actually trying to move there.

2) Acting as the Lord's own guardian of the integrity of the English language, dropping snide drive-by comments (in otherwise normal threads) regarding the number of dots in ellipses, a dangling participle, sentences ending in a preposition, etc., as if the other posters actually give a rat's ass. I realize that you probably think that we all give you "mad props" for your alleged obsessive-compulsive attention to Webster, but honestly, we don't. It's a running gag.

It's your m.o. to drop some corrective comments regarding spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation in a thread about sports or politics and somehow think..."Hey, I'm contributing!"

Newsflash to the "U&L Myopian": No...you're not.

Dropping into a thread just to correct the proper use of a comma and then yelling "SCOREBOARD" is pretty damned sad.

It's one thing to wield the grammar smack as part of a rebuttal when you're actually part of the thread, it's another to hop in a thread you've otherwise not been part of and make it your whole point for posting.

But, as I said before, that's your shtick. You're a two-trick pony.

Some of those dictionaries you speak of have punctuation guides in the back... maybe you should look into getting one.

Even if I did get one, you'd just claim that the ones they have in the "U&L" are prettier, better written, and more accurate, so what's the point?

[Dinsdale]

just felt the overwheming need to write a few lines with bad punctuation and spellings so that dinsdale can complete his orgasim....

Huh?

Not so fast, bud.


Now, if you were to start bragging about having degrees from "accredited universities," and THEN posted a linguistic disaster, I might have something to say about it. But until you start bragging about your education, I really couldn't give a fuck.

Don't want to be a target? Don't paint one on your back(sup Shawn Taylor).


Pretty simple, ain't it? Don't brag about your education then immediately prove beyond all doubt that it was useless and you won't get laughed at... and trust me, such douchebaggery is quite a laugher.

[Mike the Lab Rat]

linguistic disaster

No, dinsy doesn't have a bit of a thing for hyperbole...

I'm guessing that he refers to water splashed on the kitchen floor as "a disaster of Biblical proportions."

Then again, the water in the U&L is bigger and can do more damage.

[Dinsdale]

Since you acknowledged the U&L's superior liquids, I'll give you a pass on not capitalizing my almost-proper name.

[Nacho]

Huh?

I would think someone as intelligent as you would be able to understand that....

Not so fast, bud.

I will type slower

Now, if you were to start bragging about having degrees from "accredited universities," and THEN posted a linguistic disaster, I might have something to say about it. But until you start bragging about your education, I really couldn't give a fuck.

Don't want to be a target? Don't paint one on your back(sup Shawn Taylor).

Irrelevant and in poor taste.

No what is douchebaggery is trying to run smack at one poster through a post of another. I am sure you can speak to Mike directly. But keep laughing and thinking EVERYONE is laughing WITH you.

It's quite the opposite...

Shouldn't you be posting about your man crush Adrian Peterson and his wonderful HOF induction speach anyway?
