Me either. I mean, take away her beauty, perfect body and sexy accent and what do you have?

Jesus, man, I know that they are encompassed in the "perfect body" part of your description, but you have to mention her TITS. You just have to.

And here she is taking off her shirt. In a safe for work manner, but still.

You misremember.

Really? I mean, seriously -- people outside of SF didn't claim that Elway was better than, say, Joe Montana -- did they? (anyone inside of SF would've been shot for saying this)


Did people who were not on drugs say this?

The sounds of his voice pisses me off ever since he had a hissy fit about Randy Moss fake-mooning the Green Bay stands (and thus returning the traditional favor the good citizens of Green Bay give to departing opponents).

I will never understand why that was such a big deal. Ever. It wasn't like he actually pulled his pants down. Can anyone explain why we should have cared?

I thought it was common knowledge that it was the improvement of the Eagles defense over the season that contributed most to their success. What do you think happens if the Eagles win the Superbowl? You think they bench or trade McNabb because they can just sign Garcia?

TM

I think that the decrease in the quality of the other teams in the Eagles' division contributed the most to their success at the end of the season. No one wanted to win that division.

I disagree with your statement that working class people are ignorant. The blue-collar Giants fans I know are very knowledgeable about the game. I know very few football intelligent Patriot fans, regardless of their line of work.

You've said this enough times that I'm starting to think you are serious about the generalization (either that, or you just like repeating yourself). FWIW, the most serious Pats fan I know was All-American in college and knows enough about football to bore a grown and hungover man who is trying to be nice to him because he's a client to tears. Ahem.

The press put him way up on a pedestal. They didn't compare him to Montana. They had him in the Steve Young generation. And yes, at the time they said he was better than Young. Typical "best QB to never have won a Super Bowl" coverage for at least 5 years in a row.

Now I'm sure he is able to cry himself to sleep on a giant, gold-plated pillah. Hed!

Because Joe Buck freaked out about it and he's the top play-by-play announcer in America. It's as if Walter Cronkite had told us it was a desplicable act. We can't help but believe him that it's a big deal. Joe Buck is almost as big an idiot hack as Stuart Scott.

No. It really isn't the same. Favre just ain't that great anymore. And when he throws 5 interceptions in a game, they kill themselves bending over backwards to make excuses for him. Brady has won a bunch of Superbowls and actually has done little to no wrong. With Elway, I remember them sucking his dick, but constantly bringing up his pre-draft tantrum and inability to get along with his coaches. Manning is constantly questioned about his inability to win the big one. Favre, it seems from listening to every single football analyst, can do no wrong. In my opinion, over the last two years (at least), he's pretty much been screwing the Packers for his own selfish purposes and using the fans and the media to do it. At the absolute very least, his unwillingness to help the younger quarterbacks with anything is fucked up. And, as a Packers fan (and the Packers will exist after Favre finally moves the fuck on), I would think you'd want your team leader to exert some effort helping the team in situations that won't benefit him directly.

On the other hand, I liked him in Something About Mary.

Huh. I thought it was the thing teams did to San Francisco when they got bored of gaining yards on the pass.

So, I think Tony Romo is fairly cute. Hubby says he thinks he is funny looking. Who is right? Keep in mind I drool over Tom Brady.

Pretty sad if the best you can do to think that he is selfish is that he took a long time to decide whether or not to retire and that maybe he didn't take a lot of time with the 15th backup that has played under him. I don't recall hearing that Matt Hasselbeck, Mark Brunell or Aaron Brooks thought he wasn't a helpful tutor. Shit, the guy doesn't even study for the games himself why would you want him teaching anybody else?

So what announcers exactly are saying that he is the best quarterback in the league or that he is as good as ever? I have not heard that in any of the 16 games I watched this year. Some of them do say he is one of the best ever on a career basis. Because he is, from a winning and statistical standpoint. Perhaps you think the announcers should be saying something like "this guy totally sucks" or "he is just not cut out for the NFL"? Not really the NFL way when dealing with popular players.

I'm not in the mood to go into gory detail about why your points are uninformed. However, looking at your posts, it sounds to me like you need to start bashing Peter King or John Madden, not Brett Favre.
