  1. Earl Campbell: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/super/2017/01/31/earl-campbell-super-bowl-li-51-houston-oilers-texas-running-back-pain-gain-pro-football-hall-of-fame/97258738/ In fact, Campbell compared current play in the NFL to professional wrestling. “And we all know now that we’re grown men that wrestling’s fake,” Campbell told USA TODAY Sports. “Well, football is not played like it was when I played. Joe Thomas: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/13494837/joe-thomas-cleveland-browns-backs-tom-brady-rips-nfl-witch-hunts "I'm glad that he's fighting [it]," Thomas said. "Because it's good for the game. It's an entertainment business. It's turning into the WWE really. It's like the Vince McMahon stuff. Basically Goodell is like Vince McMahon." Chris Borland: https://abc7news.com/sports/why-former-49er-chris-borland-is-the-most-dangerous-man-in-football/949515/ "It's like a spectacle of violence, for entertainment, and you're the actors in it. You're complicit in that: You put on the uniform. And it's a trivial thing at its core. It's make-believe, really. That's the truth about it." Now, am I saying it's definitely scripted? No. But is it beyond the realm of possibility? Also no. Would that explain all the strange calls that happen EVERY Sunday? Yes. So would incompetence, I suppose.
  2. IIRC, aren't you former military? And if so, you must know that assassinating the general of a foreign army is an act of war.
  3. It's a fair argument. Now let's quit screwing around and have the Sabres hire Laviolette already.
  4. It might be the only thing that *saves* his position. Please don't get me wrong--I've nothing against Krueger. I've just got nothing FOR him, either, anymore. I liked the unconventional hire, and I like that he's a leader. The results aren't there.
  5. It's never the right timing, is it? It wasn't the right timing for the Cheatriots because Belichick was the Jets' coach. Until he wasn't.
  6. International cricket is bigger than the NFL and there are all sorts of shenanigans there. In other words: agreed.
  7. Still not as big as Houston.
  8. Houston is the 4th largest city in the country. It is Houston that survived, not Balto or KC. The league has at least a competency problem, probably a cheating problem (a certain team has been caught three times now), and a scripting problem is not out of the realm of possibility. And this.
  9. I mean, it can't be harder to fix than a birth certificate, right?
  10. So is it like "birther"?
  11. Yeah; what even is that?
  12. We all were pretty mad at him 14 years ago. It's natural. Like his beautiful Lego hair.
  13. Are you kidding? He's Lindy Ruff but with Lego hair. Of course I want him here.
  14. Not sure what "refs truther" is, but I changed this season, during the second Pats game. I've seen enough. If it looks like poo and smells like poo, well, it's poo. Something is, indeed, rotten in the state of Denmark. I didn't watch enough of those other two games to see if they were susceptible to manipulation.
  15. When Krueger brings three teams to the SCF that have little business being there (ok, I'll give in on Nashville), let me know.
  16. Have you been watching the NFL lately? It's basically wrestling at this point. I wasn't with Swamp before, and Saturday isn't what changed it, but it seems pretty scripted.
  17. Yes, I would hire Lavvy and fire Krueger. I like coaches who can do more with less. You have to know this about me by now! And Laviolette is that coach.
  18. HIRE HIM RIGHT NOW.
  19. If it's gameday presentation that you're after, I agree that it needs a lot of work. She just needs to hire someone different to do that.
  20. This killing was meant to start a war, and generals plan and order the killing of humans even though it is not their sole purpose.
  21. She doesn't run the sports operations. She didn't even watch the game on Saturday--she was too nervous.
  22. That's what you think.
  23. Ok, so he has tried to start a war to win an election. Doesn't really fit with your one-issue support. What makes Suleimani so special? He planned and ordered the killing of humans. It's what generals do.
  24. They are former NE Patriots coaches, I think.
  25. What the general has done in the past is what all generals have done for millennia. This isn't about what the general did. This is about starting a war to win an election.
