Guy is 41 and looks like he's in his late 20s. I was a little unnerved by it too lol. It was the dude's face. He looked like he dropped 20 years in the off season. 1 hour ago, skidmarkgn said: I'll always have a soft spot for Kearse, dude was front and center on a lot of clutch plays for Seattle (if they had won the SB against the Pats in 2014 the biggest thing people would have been talking about was that insane catch he had to put them in the red-zone in the first place, sadly though, it has been all but forgotten through no fault of his own)) and it really breaks my heart to see him go down like that. I never would've known/remembered that. So my comment definitely wasn't a dig. I saw the replay because I don't think I saw it in real time and it was a crappy way to go down because it didn't look like it was something that could have been avoided. Just shit luck.

MidnightDragon Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Only thing Antonio Brown cares about is himself. Don't feel sorry for the Raiders.

You would think the guy who nearly got decapitated in a playoff game vs. the Bengals a few years ago, would be the chief advocate for safer helmets.

I tried a baseball thread but it's dead AF and I'm not a soccer or hockey fan so finally having fellow fans to talk with (my personal circle isn't real sports savvy) is a breath of fresh air.

acasser Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 What this demonstrates is that if you're really talented, teams will put up with a lot more of your shit. Which should be a good lesson to all the marginally talented knuckleheads out there. Talented players get leeway even when they're a distraction. Crummy players get cut when they're a distraction. And the latter category of players don't get signed by other clubs when it happens, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he's to the point where he's gonna need 10,000 yards and 172 TD catches to be worth the trouble, especially when Mack was apparently not good enough to pay.

How'd you become a Cards fan in the UK when Arizonans don't even care about the team? Tongue-in-cheek kidding of course, but my father is a Cards season ticket holder, and he always gripes about the team losing its home-field advantage when they play the 49ers, Seahawks, Raiders, Cowboys, etc. I guess that's bound to happen when you live in a transient town. Good luck with your season, though. It'll be interesting to see how the Murray/ Rosen comparisons plays out this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the UK NFL isn't that big, so if you were going to pick a team you might think go for the big guys like the Pats, Steelers, Packers, Eagles etc My logic wasn't that. Pick a conference, NFC, because my friend is a Red Skins fans (and they are NFC ofc). Pick a division, so NFC West. Cardinals had a cool logo so went with them. Figured it'd take me years to build up loyalty so didn't matter who I picked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
