NFL 2012-2013: bountygate + spygate = spoutygate?
« on: March 20, 2012, 12:35:58 AM »
So most of the really big free agents have landed. Williams, Manning, Flynn... Now the question is where does TIM TEBOW: GUY EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT end up, and how much of a disaster is this season for the Dolphins that they are hoping they can land Alex Smith?

I see you've been reading TFF. 'lol dolphins', as always, is accurate.

I only went with it because "NFL 2012-2013: Super Mario or Super Manningo: are you ready for some Flynntertainment? TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW" is too many letters.

But yes, I occasionally post in TFF. The BattleTech LP is my first passion though.

Smith will probably re-sign with the 49ers at this point. Miami can always put in an offer for Vince Young!!!!! Or Matt Leinart, or maybe Josh Johnson. MAYBE EVEN GARRARD!!!!  I think Jacksonville is hoping for Tebow more than anything.

Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

GARRARD IS A DOLPHIN EVERYONE! "Disaster offseason," yeah right, don't they understand how big a high note getting GARRARD is??

Also the Packers are trying to acquire Jeff Saturday. I'm kind of confused by the idea of the Packers pursuing a free agent.

That's pretty fucking scary how that came out like, minutes after I posted that.

Next you'll see Vince Young get picked back up by the Titans. (Though the Browns or Vikings are more likely. But this clearly isn't a serious statement)

There is apparently a fairly significant chunk of the Texans fanbase that thinks VY is the "solution" to their QB situation. See, Schaub isn't "a winner."

The Eagles just got a former ROTY/All-Pro LB who's under contract for four years in exchange for the garbage fourth-round pick the Redskins gave up in the McNabb trade. Be still my heart, they might actually have a decent middle of the field next year.

The Dolphins want to tank an entire season?

Trade Marshall...I don't care how many bitches he beats...not a good trade.

Lose Flynn, Manning, and mother fucking RG3...

Don't make any splash moves on the FA market.

Give me David Garrard!?

Fuck you guys. I will resume being a fan when I see the organization giving a fuck about its team pride, fan base, or championship expectations return.

Go Bucs! It's times like this that I am glad I have two teams to root for.

What's wrong with me is he was our best offensive weapon...that we traded for initially for two second round picks, then we traded him away for two third round picks ONLY after he posted two thousand yard seasons for us in succession. The first WR to do this since Irving fucking Fryar.

What's wrong with me is that I'm pissed.

I would not be shocked if this whore is lying.

Marshall has a history of violence and has a pretty severe mental disorder, so it's very possible he did it. Regardless, Miami and Chicago were taking trade before this shitstorm went down.

The last "incident" Marshall was in involved a bitch stabbing HIM. Just like with Kobe, I will wait for this bull shit to pass by...and regardless of what exactly happened the trade favors Chicago in any sense.

Of course I don't endorse men beating or punching women in the face. Not my style. Some people need to realize this is the internet and people will make light of certain stories in their own special way and not take everything so seriously.

But maybe I just need to leave a disclaimer every time I make fun of a story that might or might not be true so Rob doesn't over react again.

When you're talking about people claiming domestic abuse, it's best not to refer to them as "bitch" or "whore."

So to reiterate, as someone close to a former abuse victim: what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you just not realize the connotation of the things you say?

Yeah, I guess I don't. Like you said, it's just a claim as of right now. Nothing is set in stone, so relax. It's not like I was talking about you or anyone you know. So get off my junk would you? Thanks.

I'm sorry someone you love or loved was abused. I'm sure we all know people that that has happened to. It's a shame, but life goes on and people (like me) aren't going to walk on eggshells for someone (like you) who is so gawd damn uptight about something that was said on the internet. Don't read my freaking posts if you don't like what I say because I don't care anymore.

Anyways.

Manning is a Bronco, Tebow is a Jet.

The Saints are COACHLESS!

and there is this!



Life is good in Tampa.

Dude what?  What the fuck?  Seriously?  You are going to pull the "oh it is just words on the internet lol it doesn't mean anything" card?

What you are doing is textbook blaming the victim.  You say it is a real shame that domestic abuse happens, so I am going to go out on a limb and assume that you think it is a bad thing.  Now here is a fun fact for you.  The most frequent reason victims of abuse don't report it is exactly that kind of attitude.  They are probably making it up, they asked for it, they probably hit their attacker first, they were provoking them and so on.  That kind of justification is not fucking cool because it leads to people pulling complaints or possibly worse of all ISOLATING AND DEMEANING A PERSON THAT JUST GOT THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF THEM and now you is getting no support from the community.

You know why it is even worse to call them a whore?  Because sex workers are the most frequently abused people in the world and the least likely to report it because they then get brought in on other charges.  Cops don't have to bother finding evidence on the other guy and they have an arrest already.  So great.  So what you are doing is looking at a situation with a known abuser who has a diagnosed mental disorder and dismissing the claims of a potential assault victim and demeaning them and calling them the exact thing that is most likely in your country to get assaulted and either have it ignored or to not report it.

This isn't about Rob having a stick up his arse about shit you are saying on the internet because that doesn't matter.  This is about him expecting you to be a decent fucking human being.

You know what you should have done?  Said fucking nothing about it.  You don't have to pick sides on this shit.  You can still regret that a player from your favourite team isn't playing.  To use that as a reason to spout baseless aggressive bullshit about some woman that you know nothing about who may be an abuse victim is fucking low, vile, petty and pathetic.  You should know better and are better than that.

You don't have to walk on egg shells because people know someone that got abused.  You just need to not be a raging arsehole about situations you know nothing about involving people you don't know just because one of them happens to play football for a team you like.  How about instead you just don't be a dick?

Jason peters ruptures his Achilles tendon, probably out for the season.

Hey Shale, looks like the usual Eagles trolling you bit has started early this offseason!

Not to worry, we just re-signed King Dunlap.

So sideline recordings of Gregg Williams in the NFC Championship have come out where he's telling his players how to take out an ACL and such. So basically no way he EVER comes back, right?

Schedules are out. Looks like I'm headed to Seattle on the 24th of September.

I think I will probably go incognito rather than tell the team that Ownership is there, though.
