The Weird, Wacky and Awesome World of the NFL - General Banter thread

Hazys · 2009-12-03 15:18:51

I think we need a thread that caters for the small stories in the NFL that probably dont deserve their own thread or just post random links about the nfl, funny stories or video clips of plays you like, etc. Anyway i just downloaded "The Chad Ochocinco Experience" free iPhone app and i defly recomend it. As much as i don't…

There hasn't been a defensive player on their own since Ray Lewis and that was seven years ago

Give it to JPP

Jared Allen is a flamboyant player and very well known even if playing on the godawful Vikings, I'm surprised he is not higher in the odds
For name recognition among casual fans he is way up near the top

The Madden curse could be hitting Tebow before he even makes the cover, if Manning goes to Denver!

Nah, that's just the Broncos insurance for when the curse hits Tebow later!

Gotta be pro-active in these situations!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. The guy who made this makes some of the very best compilation videos I've seen.

Skip Bayless is subhuman scum and quite possibly the worst analyst I've ever seen in any sport.

After watching him make a tool of himself in arguments with Jalen Rose and Stephen Smith (regarding Tebow), I'm actually wondering how this guy got on TV? Is it like the Dunphy effect with RTE? Get him to say something controversial and everyone will be talking about it.

Reminds me of Dunphy and Hook with his ability to stir ****! Though Bayless is at a completely different level!

Absolutely. I can't see any reason he can't. Good attitude, good throw, smart, durable. He has it all. The only thing that could hold him back is maybe the lockout made him look better than he really is, I don't have anything to back this up but I felt rookie qbs did really well last year and it mightn't be a coincidence there was a lockout.
