Also, John Henderson may have been insane back in the day...

Surprised he didn't blame Roger Goodell.

Only way that could be more hilarious is if it were Harbaugh throwing a pad at Flacco. LOL.

A couple cousins who are Browns fans and I are really fired up for the Christmas Eve game between the Browns and the Bears. It'll be an early present by ending.

No one beats a dead horse like Pats fans. Bigly.

May be beating a dead horse, but I do enjoy seeing people punking Goodell.

Except it seems like the only fanbase who does it is the fucking Pats and they're coming off a Super Bowl. Have some dignity. (Yeah, Boston I know...but still.)

I forgot about that famous thing with Goodell and the Lions and then the fans just let it go because that's what sports fans are known for

Saints fans let Bountygate go. If you're not going to let this shit go after a Super Bowl you're obviously never going to let it go so this is our existence. All hail our Trump and Patriot overlords.

I've been quietly waiting for the fanbase reaction when the realization hits that the league is not putting on a special event tied in with the season opener in Foxboro.

No they didn't. Not online. They remember.

The subreddit (besides the Patriots) that went batshit during the Super Bowl was the Saints. Their fans rooted hard for the Pats.

Some of that was/is hatred for the Falcons, but they are the Pats -gate bros.

At least Foxboro doesn't have a felon running for mayor, though. Right?

I'll split the difference and say that a lot of this stuff hangs on because New England fans will spend 89% of their disposable income on stupid sports gear and mall kiosk photos.

The remaining 11% on Dunkin and 'gansett?

When to a bar to get into some better A/C and watch the HoF Game and "chatty Pats fan" sits next to me. FML.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:29 pm

Tell him you think the Pats are the 2nd most persecuted team in pro sports.

Post by **brian** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:30 pm

Oh and he's a vaper and he has his vape set to "fill the entire bar with vapor with one puff" setting.

Post by **brian** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:40 pm

This is almost like an SNL sketch but he keeps bringing up last years Super Bowl.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:48 pm

Tell him you're friends with a couple vegas strippers and they told you Gronkowski has a 4 inch penis.

Post by **brian** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:50 pm

What I really want to know is who goes to a bar by themselves just to bend everyone's ear? I usually just want to be left the fuck alone.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 8:15 pm

Oh, that's cute. Bucket hats are a thing this year.

Hard Knocks season 1

and nearly every scene from All or Nothing season 2 show the rams practicing without pads had half the team in bucket hats.

The Reddit thread spawned discussions of it being the most stressful day for the dolphins since Ray Finkle stole their mascot.

Pretty sure they'd be better off with Kaepernick anyway so it might be a blessing in disguise for their postseason hopes.

They're going to sign Cutler instead.

I so look forward to Why Your Team Sucks every year. The first few haven't disappointed, but this zing in the Chargers preview is especially funny.

But all things must pass, and thus the Chargers have headed north to be reborn as the OTHER team that LA doesn’t want. After San Diego voters told the team get fucked, owner and Third-String Bad Guy In A Lethal Weapon Film Dean Spanos exercised his option to move to L.A. and be Stan Kroenke’s designated cuckboy for time eternal. Imagine that. Imagine somehow being less relevant than the RAMS, of all teams. NFL owners worship money like it’s a Mayan deity and even THEY thought this move was a horrible, awful idea that could do enormous long-term damage to the sport.

This is good too. They're all good.

Also, since the Rams new stadium has already been delayed due to a surprisingly woke God, the Chargers will be forced to play for at least three seasons in the 30,000-seat Legal Scalper Center. I can think of no greater metaphor for America’s collective indifference to the Chargers than the idea of them playing on a soccer field.

Yeah, I know that's why the Dolphins are the Dolphins. They'll suck, but at least Cutler will pretend to pay attention to the National Anthem before he throws some back-breaking picks.
