So tonight and this weekend was different.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

You suck dick.

He certainly is the correct height.

[Dinsdale]

I'm not sure that stature matters -- where there's a will, there's a way, and oh boy, will he.

MS sucks more dick than Poptart at a church retreat.

[Moving Sale]

So to summarize:
You all are once again more interested in my body than the thread, which in this case is baseball. So you would rather discuss what I look lile than talk about baseball. Creepy X infinity.

People don't actually have a problem with sports and politics intersecting, they only have a problem with it when it's politics they don't agree with.

Not true with me. I never cared to see any President showing up at a sporting event - Reagan, or anybody else. Like the Bill Burr video above - now everything is focused on being PC. Then again - I guess you love the PC stuff, so there's that.

Do you really think my posting history here demonstrates PC behavior?

No, I'm just not easily triggered by NFL players exercising their right to free speech like you conservitard snowflakes are. I don't admire it either. Frankly, I just don't give a shit.

Burr is hilarious no matter his political message. I support that man and his wildly entertaining rants.

[Dinsdale]

While I agree with the "don't give a shit" on the kneeling...


you're an idiot.

Why don't you go back and read that one Amendment dealio that ensures Free Speech, then explain to the class what in the holy fuck it has to do with players kneeling for the anthem... go ahead, take your time.

Apparently, you were too busy sucking dicks to have actually read the original post.

I figured one of you geeky boners would bring that up, just didn't think it would happen that fast.

[Softball Bat]

NCAA football is unfortunately headed down the same path

Of course.

[smackaholic]

And in this silly hypothetical, who is guarding LeBron? Anyone o that list would be deer-in-the-headlights, under any rules.

Dennis Rodman.

He absolutely prison raped Shaq in his prime in the bulls/magic playoff series. Chicago would not have gotten past them without him.

Yeah, Lebron is much quicker than Shaq, but the worm was pretty fukking quick too. And he had enough height so that wouldn't be a problem. Dude was an absolute defensive freak.

I suspect Bill Russell in his prime might have done an adequate job as well.

[smackaholic]

Yeah having bigger faster stronger athletes who make fewer mistakes makes the game worse. Ponderous.

Nothing ponderous at all.

Today's athletes are bigger, stronger and faster. No one doubts that. And as a result, they break one another more often. If you let today's freaks go at one another like it's a 1977 Steelers-Raiders playoff game, you'd have a mass triage scenario. Fukk, you might end up with someone in the morgue.

A good analogy might be late 80s NASCAR.

Remember when shit started getting a little too fast and Billie-Joe's Monte Carlo would literally take fight on the middle of the back stretch at Talladega for no apparent reason? It was because the car got faster than it could be safely driven. Something had to be done, so they came up with the restrictor plate.

Superspeedway NECKCAR has been unwatchable since.

The NFL has essentially been running with a restrictor plate for years. You simply can not allow a 290 lb DE with 4.5 speed run into another human without restriction. Really bad shit will happen.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe the NFL needs to act like boxing and put in weight restrictions. Cap them somewhere around 250, maybe 275.

[Softball Bat]

Options for the NFL:

1) Go back to leather helmets with no facemask

2) Eliminate tackling and make it flag football






:wink:

[Rooster]

Personally, I’d love to see an unlimited league with no restrictions, no restraints on whatever sport is out there. PEDs? Juice up! Grow a second head out of your shoulder blades. Grow some gills. Let’s see how fast and devastating an athlete can be in whatever sport he chooses. I’d pay to see that— and they can kneel during the national anthem if they’re black to boot.

[Softball Bat]

Look, the league wants to go global.
They want to tap into world markets.

The powers-that-be couldn't care less about what the league once was -- or what the game turns out to be in the future.

They just want to sell a product to other markets in the world and make a lot of money.


The old NFL ain't comin' back, EVAR.


Flag football is probably the future for the league.
Fans in other nations (soccer peeps) could get with it.


Your grandkids will be watching flag football.


Yep.

[smackaholic]

I think getting rid of battering ram equipment such as hard helmets and shoulder pads is a good idea. Make it look more like Aussie rules football.

I still like the idea of a crushable outer shell on helmets to dampen impact and can be replaced in seconds. Of course that means the owners need an R & D fund....

That will happen.

[Joe in PB]

There are still concussions in Aussie rules football.

"Prison raped" to the tune of 27, 11, and 64% ?

Pretty sure most centers would bend over for that kind of sexual assault in a playoff series.

[dcubed]

More happy to be at a softball showcase

I miss this more than I can convey. I may actually become an umpire just to have something to do with it again.

Prison raped might be a little strong a term, but he was giving him fits. I assume the 11 is boards. Shaq should have gotten more than that. I will bet the Worm did. He was a rebound machine. One of the best ever.

I'm not sure being an ump is something I could do. I know I would pick a side and play favorites

I always liked going after certain coaches.

See, I couldn't do that, even if I hated a coach, I'm sure the kids on his team deserve a game to be called fair.

Plus I have seen too may umps take a ball off the head or nuts because they weren't calling a good game

You've got to be careful and make it look like an accident. I know of a couple of girls that lost their scholarships because of these shenanigans.

We had this very same umpire a couple of weeks after this incident and believe me when I say we wanted to do the same thing to him. The pitcher lost her scholarship after this.

Good. They deserved it.

[Screw_Michigan]

Classy. Sounds like an approach you'd endorse.

[Screw_Michigan]

Never said I wouldn't call the game fair.

[Left Seater]

Why would the pitcher take all the blame? The catcher was just as guilty.

[Screw_Michigan]

Well, yeah....

[dcubed]

is that the Cal Cruisers game at BLD?

That ump totally deserved it and I hope they bear his ass in the parking lot. When you purposely cheat little girls you deserve to get hit in the face

Yes that was the Cal Cruisers game. We had that ump a couple weeks after and he was absolutely horrible but at no time did we even contemplate throwing at him. But the parents from both teams sure were giving him a ton of shit. Some people just aren't cut out to be umpires.

[Screw_Michigan]

Some people just aren't cut out to be umpires.

Yeah, they deserve to be assaulted.

Die in a fire you worthless pile of human excrement.

[Screw_Michigan]

Bad calls =/= getting cheated, tough guy.

[dcubed]

Well that escalated quickly.

And exactly where did I say he deserved to be assaulted? I think I pretty much said the opposite.

Ted's best album.

This just in, football is a violent sport.

Eliminate judgment call penalties and the game will be better. Continue with 1000 frame per second officiating and ratings will continue to fall.

Fuck the NFL, I think I'm done with it. 10-15 years ago I would have never guessed that is how I would feel about it now. I was an NFL maniac, I loved the NFL and could never get enough of it. Now what i see is a bastardization of the game for money. Thursday night football on 1 or 2 days prep, craptastic officiating, A month long preseason where real players don't play, and the first month of the season for the most part is a diarrhea slop fest, etc. Fuck the NFL.
