It's okay, man. I haven't had the Sox in the playoffs since '08, and just think of the Cubs fans. They haven't won a World Series in over 100 years.


Yep, that's true, and I do feel for them, but my dad and I are passionate fans and for us to see them not win the big one is disappointing.

For me, that feeling was when Pujols left St. Louis to go to L.A.

My mom hates Marty Morninwheg just as much as she hates Brian Wilson, Jered Weaver, and Barry Sanders...combined.

It's like putting your kicker at running back: "Oh he played RB in Peewee when he was 8, let's put him there, yeah, that sounds good."

That reminds me of the Lions game last year against the Jets when they used Suh as the extra point kicker since Hanson was hurt, since he played soccer back in High School. They had Nick Harris/Ben Graham/whoever the heck was the punter at that time, why didn't they use him? We lost the game because of that decision.

I was just looking through the General Chat thread and saw this:

PFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

The sheer hypocrisy of this statement makes me cry rainbows out of my ass. Do you want to know why? I'm not explaining that to you, this shit's self-explanatory. You shit on members, new and old, constantly. All you ever do is act negatively towards every *(censored)* thing and me (and I'm sure some other members) are absolutely sick of your negative attitude. It's ridiculous. You take the everything out of everything and leave it a cold, empty shell. Did you see that episode of SpongeBob where Mr. Krabs loses his goddamn shell? Well that's what you're doing to whoever your post is directed too whenever you post and wherever you post.

An attitude adjustment would be highly advised.

And that, my friends, is why I did not get elected to community manager. I'm kind of wondering why I ever nominated myself in the first place. It's so much easier to speak your mind without the overwhelming boundaries you face when you're a moderator or a moderator type job. Now, I run the risk of getting banned constantly because of the shit I post but do you think I care?

Nope.

Couldn't care less actually.

I just like to speak my mind; I don't think much of repercussions.

Bottom line: why the hell did I apply for community manager amirite

I act like that to you because you're the complete definition of an asshole. You try and act all funny and cool, but you just come off sounding stupid. Yeah sure, I wasn't always the biggest fan of PPFan and Anthony, but I've warmed up to them because they're genuinely nice people. Now if only I could say the same to you...
And besides, it no secret you hate large newer members. Heck, you called Liam an old Brazillian woman once because he didn't use proper grammar when he first got here

Umm... Anyway...

Philliesfan, I agree with you on most of your points and I am just as passionate as you about the Eagles, but there is some points I don't completely agree with.

The biggest being Mike Vick. The Eagles absolutely CAN win a Super Bowl with him. I was actually just thinking of this today.

Let's say a B-list actor gets cast as the lead role in an action drama type movie, but he's done mostly comedy before. Let's say he is supported by a few B-list and A-listers. The director is Michael Bay. The rest of the crew is horrific to great.

I'd say this movie can succed. Under the right circumstances.

Mike Vick isn't perfect, that's for damn sure and would I love to be the fu*king Packers where they get Favre for 20 years and Rodgers in his prime? Hell yes. But he can get the ring.

Juan fu*cking Castillo is a different story.

I've heard of Dallas Reynolds. He's my third-favorite center (behind A.Q. Shipley and Ryan Cook).

Bottom line, Vince Young was wrong.

Agreed, Reid is a bad coach (plus Vick is horribly overrated, and McCoy is underrated/underused).

The Cowboys are too inconsistent and injury-plagued for me to say anything other than "Kevin Ogletree <3"

Michael Vick is in no way "horribly overrated" nor is he underrated. Most people rate him for what he is.

McCoy is underused, but we all know that Reid is a pass first guy.

I agree on McCoy, he's very good when used, which makes me confused as to why they haven't used him too much this season. Then again, who knows with their coaching staff.

But with Vick, I'm not sure. He doesn't seem like a guy they could win it all with. He's been in the league for 11 years and his football IQ still isn't very good. He still stares down receivers from time to time and makes bad decisions too many times. We can't have our starting QB having this many turnovers, and it's only Week 3. Other times he has made great plays and he has made comebacks in the second half in the last two games. Part of me thinks he's not playing as hard because he got the contract he did and after having a great, almost MVP-worthy season in 2010, he thinks he's Superman and he can do any throw possible. :?
I'm leaning towards Nick Foles as the QB of the future but we won't know how he adjusts to first-string defenses until he plays.

I think the best word to describe Vick is inconsistent. As seen from the Giants a year before, all you have to do is make the playoffs. Then it's anybody's game. If the Eagles can actually make the playoffs (and I think they can), all they need is Vick to preform at the level they know he can for just a game or two. Is it likely? No. But is it possible? Yep

I sure hope so. They've got the Giants, Pittsburgh, and the Lions coming up so it'll be really tough. They gotta fix their offensive line problems and Vick must come up big or they'll be in trouble.

Although, I'd like you to stop and realize, the Cards are a very good team. It's not like the Eagles got hammered by say, the Browns or something. Give credit where credit is due

Anyone ever played any of these two games?
Very easy to waste time on these sport simulations.

I have wasted many a day playing baseball century...

I'm ashamed of how addicting it is.
