Not if the Canadian army has anything to say about it.

I forgot about that. Good lord.

I am not allowed to have an opinion other than that of the Land Forces Command Staff.

It goes without saying that his return to health is what's important. I of all people need not be reminded of that.

Was just wondering why you or anyone else would wish harm on an athlete. Now I know your reason for doing so.

a few years ago, upon my drafting of steve smith one pick ahead of his in our fantasy football league, my friend wished a broken leg upon him. less than a week later it happened. since that day i wish harm upon one of his players, and i do wish that player breaks his leg. it's a tradition.

Mark Rypien has a SB ring. Going 16-0 and fronting arguably the greatest offense in the history of the league is something else entirely.

mark rypien doesn't have three.

I think that's fair until it actually happens. Karma and all.

it has yet to happen. but i will continue until one of his key players is smited.

An by the way, every single player on the Pats would gladly trade that 16-0 mark in, and the stats, and the single season records, for a SB ring.

What IS their opinion?

you mean this ring?

yea they'd probably rather have that. i agree.

 

[DaveC]

What IS their opinion?

I'm not sure, I'll have to search through the Queen's Regulations & Orders and Defense Administrative Orders and Directives to find out.

What's more complex: the Queen's Regulations & Orders and Defense Administrative Orders and Directives, or an NFL playbook?

 

[No spoken words]

It only took 10 minutes for me to remember that I hate Tony Kornheiser's presence in an announce booth. Fuck.

 

[DaveC]

What's more complex: the Queen's Regulations & Orders and Defense Administrative Orders and Directives, or an NFL playbook?

Definitely the QR&O's/DAOD's.

It's a fuckin' maze.

 

[No spoken words]

I wish I had the proper words to express my disgust with Kornheiser. The other two want to call the game and let Favre's absence serve as a backdrop. Kornheiser wants to talk about Favre all night long.

Rogers completes a long pass and Tony says "THAT is the exact kind of pass Favre would have thrown". Jesus Christ.

This really is a tough listen for me, cos ESPN can't ever just show you the fucking game.

ETA - ....aaaaaand Jaworski just told Kornheiser "to let it go" re: Favre comparisons, etc. I'll now shut up about Kornheiser shutting up, sorry.

But then they wouldn't be able to display the completely ridiculous 16-0 banner at The Razor.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

ironicly enough... belichick had always put brady on the injured report, even when he wasn't injured, to play psychological mind games with the other teams... then he takes brady off the injured list for the first time before that game, and he ends up blowing out his knee and being out for the season.

 

[Got Philk?]

Speaking of 16-0...did you watch that Bear's defense?

 

[AnnRKeyintheUSA]

I'm not even trying to, I promise!

At the bar where I watched the Steeler game, 1/2 the crowd cheered when they showed the Brady injury.....I just shook my head in disgust at that.....and, everyone in there was over 21, M I RITE???

Steeler fans do not like Brady and make no bones about their joy:

Well, I'm a life-long, die-hard Steeler fan and took no enjoyment from his injury.

 

[AnnRKeyintheUSA]

Well, you gotta at least admire them for saying what they really think, even though it's rude, and not pretend to be concerned when they're not. The Colts boards are all acting like they're sad but I bet most of them are cheering on the inside. I guess Colts and Steelers dislike the Pats even more than their division rivals because they are the ones in the playoffs with them every year. I wonder what the Denver fans are saying? Really, their strongest rivals should not want him hurt, because then everybody will always say 'if Brady was in there he'd have beat you.' So it's better to beat them with Brady in there like the Giants did.

 

[phanan]

I'm sure there are a lot of fans saying the same thing, just as I'm sure there are a lot of fans who feel bad he got hurt.

That's just the way it is - every team has its share of douchebag fans.

Sorry, don't admire them for being thrilled that he's injured and out for the year. I'm not sad that he's hurt, but I sure as hell am not cheering, and clearly I'm not pretending.

 

[AnnRKeyintheUSA]

I didn't mean you.

Too true

I'm not sure what point there is to be made here other than what Phanan said.

Some teams have more douche bag fans than others. Can we talk about that, M'Lord?

 

[bono_212]

I just turn the game on, and look. A touchdown

 

[Hewson]

Well, you gotta at least admire them for saying what they really think,

Not certain that douchebaggery is an admirable quality, but if you think so, more power to ya.

i'd much rather beat the patriots with tom brady at QB than with andrew cassels at QB.

Could not agree more. I'm too fucking competitive to be any other way.
