Rationalization !

That's okay, I'll forgive you, you can make excuses all you want for having a sucky football team.

I am a Patriots fan.

I watched Pete Carroll "coach"* the Patriots from 1997 through 1999

I have seen people unironically call Carroll a "genius" as head coach of USC

Any sport where people can unironically call Pete "Fredo" Carroll a genius is not a real sport.

I don't have the NFL here because of that geezer Al Davis. :angry:

I like college football. NFL sucks.

College football is a fun diversion, but it's not a real sport. It's like Arena Football with lower scores.

Dr. Jake Destructo 03-17-2005 08:15 PM

I like ping pong and hacky sack.


I still haven't seen Vince for a longarse time. :confused:

Except, you know, the field is 120 by 50 (not unlike the NFL), and most NFL rules apply.

Well, my point is that the football is not as good as the NFL.

But its more down to earth. The NFL is too comercialized, and the players are too showy for my tastes, I guess.

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]Well, my point is that the football is not as good as the NFL.[/QUOTE]

Well, I mean, that's fine, you gave enough reasoning. It also makes sense since you think NCAA basketball is superior to the NBA, so it's all good :cool:

Kurtz 03-17-2005 08:22 PM

I don't even think Pete's a genius.
He's good for college ball though.

Of course you love the NFL, you're a Boston boy. You have the best team in the land.

When did I say that?

And magicbus: NFL players are the least commercialized pro athletes (compared to MLB and NBA)

Cain 03-17-2005 08:23 PM

I'm listening to the X-Japan song that Med uploaded, and it owns. Their drummer is insane.

It probably used to be hockey.

Endless Obsession 03-17-2005 08:24 PM

I also think NCAA us superior to the NBA,

the game is faster, and there are upsets in NCAA, there arent real upsets in the NBA,except the playoffs.

Plus nothing beats the tourney.

I like NFL over NCAA football anyday though.

There is something they play in the NFL called, DEFENSE which is unheard of for the most part in college fb.

Yea that was a bad way of putting it, something about the NFL just feels that way. Fake, maybe?

I think mainstream might be the word I'm looking for.

Rip, I'm giving it an attempt at a download, but it's 33 megs, so it'll take about...all night for me, I'm guessing. :p

The NBA is a higher quality brand of basketball...there's more defense, players actually know how to run fast breaks, there's more off-ball movement (even though there isn't even all that much in the first place) and unlike in the NCAA, a team can't get to the finals because they got hot from the three point line for five games.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Yea that was a bad way of putting it, something about the NFL just feels that way. Fake, maybe?[/QUOTE]

It's more polished, but that doesn't make it "fake".

Random question for all: what is your favorite "snack" food? For me, it's mozzerella sticks or popcorn :cool:

That brand of basketball is (or at least was at the time of the last Olympics) waning in quality though, because the emphasis was on stars like Kobe Bryant and other flashy one-man-teams, and so people argued that college basketball and multi-national, non-US basketball was better because it was much stronger on teamwork. And the US basketball team did get owned in the Olympics.

But I could be wrong: they may have changed it since then, I don't like basketball anywhere near as much as baseball.

And how can football be exciting? They stop the bloody game every 30 seconds for five minutes. I really don't like that sport at all.

I like the white fudge Chips Ahoy cookies. Definitely with milk.

Popcorn is also good.

Yea, not fake. Polished is a good way of putting it, and something about that just turns me off from the whole thing.

Snack food?

I've always been a chip guy, myself. Plain or BBQ = so best.
