Magpel Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 For those of you who thought Thigpen would lead the Fins to victory last night, my condolences. Well, it wasn't so much that as I thought that the Dolphins defense could really keep the Bears from doing much of anything. Who can say in this damn league?

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Me neither, apparently. Meanwhile, here's Bill Simmons on this weekend's Raiders/Steelers game: How great is it that this game means something? I might watch this game, play some Atari, then cap it off with re-runs of "The Love Boat," "Charlie's Angels" and "Fantasy Island."

MikeT156 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 by Joe Muscara: As if that was a criterion at all for telling whether a guy wasn't a jerk. I don't know that Brady is or isn't a jerk. However, I doubt that Gisele would marry a total but hole, she could have had any man on the planet she wanted. If we compare Brady to guys like Deon (the mouth) Sanders or TO, then Tom Brady is a choir boy. Cheers, Mike T.

Joe Muscara Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 C'mon Mike! You haven't seen a gorgeous woman with some guy, and think, "what is she doing with him?" Or even worse, a guy that's not treating her right yet she stays? Anyway, I don't know if this is the case with these two.

richwhite9 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 But much like musicians, if we judged professional athletes on the basis of their ethics and personalities (as opposed to just talent), we'd have a short list of players to watch. Love the art, hate the artist. Athletes are the new target for Reality TV. VH1's found men dumber than musicians and women even dumber than groupies. Musicians can't afford the alimony that athletes pay--unless they are Paul McCartney. "Athlete pays off VIP Hostess to protect endorsement deals" is the new gold digging scam.

Griffinator Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 It occurs to me, Jeff, that I need to be rooting much harder against Oakland now. Two years ago, all us Patriot fans were celebrating taking an Oakland 1st rounder for Seymour - except that's this year's 1st rounder... A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

eric Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Why do you think he's a jerk? Example? If he was a big but hole I don't know if he would have the woman he ended up with, would he? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha As if that was a criterion at all for telling whether a guy wasn't a jerk. Look, I don't know if Brady is a jerk, but he seems like a jerk. I admit I could be wrong. Maybe he's just arrogant when he's on the field and okay the rest of time, which would be understandable in order to be competitive. Tom Brady is a very good athlete and probably in the top 3 QBs in the NFL. I struggle with him as a person (though I've never met him) as his image is that of an self-consumed prima donna. Even when they show him on the sidelines, he is always running his hands through his hair and brooding in some melancholy "I know millions of hot girls are drooling over my locks and beard right now." I just can't take him seriously and fall into Joe's camp of him seeming like a jerk. I have the same opinion of Tony Romo. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you have guys like Eli and Peyton Manning, both of whom are humble, even self-effacing guys who are also very good athletes. But they don't take themselves so seriously and thus are more genuine people. Just my observations as a fairly newbie football fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when they show him on the sidelines, he is always running his hands through his hair and brooding in some melancholy.... Just an FYI - Tom Brady is a competitor first, before anything else, and when he's brooding on the sidelines, it's because he had a play that he could have made but didn't. The replay in Pitt where he was barking at the rest of the offense because they were playing sloppy and he knew they couldn't afford to do that to beat the Steelers... For all the "nice and humble and self-effacing" you heap on Manning, we are talking about the guy that basically took over that offense (their OC is pretty much a figurehead) and, just now, was throwing shit around on the sideline after NE picked him off the 2nd time. These guys that are at the top of the heap? They're all competitors, fiercely so, and they are never happy when they make mistakes. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

MikeT156 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I don't know if anyone on this Forum watched any part of the Steelers game, or even had it on in their area, but after the Steelers had clinched the game against Oakland, Rottenburg went over to Richard Seymore and apparently started talking some smack. Seymour leveled him. I was in a "Steelers" Sports Bar and its the first time I heard a crowd of Steelers fans cheer when a Steeler was hit by an opposing player between plays. Ben went down like a sack of potatoes. He's may be big but he can't stand up to the likes of Richard Seymore. Ben picked the wrong guy to talk smack too. Seymore was ejected. Ben should shut up and play. Apparently he hasn't learned all that much. He's just putting on an act so he keeps his job and collects the money. We've been talking about but holes for awhile here. Rottenburger is a dead wringer for a BIG BUT HOLE. Congrats to Seymour for giving Rottenberg a shot. The only problem I had with it is he hit him with an open hand instead of a fist. Mike T.

Brady, Romo and Big Ben. I also have a strong hatred towards Michael Vick's dog fighting history, though I have less intel on his current stylings. That guy is plain impressive as a QB and one to watch. If he can somehow shake is history of cruelty to animals, he could be a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT156 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 What gets me is the bias in the Pittsburgh press. I watched that shot that Seymore gave Rottenburger. One Pittsburgh sports writer called it a "sucker punch" and said that Ben went down but bounced right back up. WRONG. Seymore gave him a straight shot and when Ben went down, he DID NOT get right back up. He's a sack of crap. So Eric, whats worse. Cruelty to animals or raping women? Neither one of those guys are prince charming.

Bridog6996 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I've never met Brady personally, so don't take my word on it, but a friend of a friend works for the Pats as an assistant to the equipment manager, and according to him, Brady is the nicest guy on the team. Not the most reliable of sources, for sure, but take that for whatever it's worth. As I said before, I couldn't care less whether he's a jerk or not as long as he wins games. Much like a Yankees fan, I kinda enjoy all the Pats hate. It somehow makes for a much sweeter feeling every time they WIN.
