    In no way does this benefit the NFL or NFL fans, its a lose-lose situation for all involved.

    Yeah, but there's only one way these people are going to learn: Losing a lot of money.

    The game was another example of my theory that hockey is more fun to watch the lower the league you are watching.

    I think this is actually true of many team sports.

    EDIT: I just noticed the date-stamp on the post I quoted. Jeez. Sorry about that.

  3. I love late 90's Dusty trying in vain to describe what the Luchadors were doing while everyone else was blabbering about the nWo. 

    Other than that, Ventura with either Gorilla or JR works for me. Also CMLL commentary throughout the years, particularly the guy who came out with the word "RUDISSIMO!' Doesn't matter that I don't understand Spanish. 

  4. I was soft enough to leave Eifert on the bench, although my opponent left out Riddick. Ended up relying on Kyle Rudolph, to overcome Meredith and whatever lead he had. Wound up with a draw.

     

    Fantasy Football is a stupid game, played by idiots. 

  5. I wouldn't mind joining a free league, if there's one going. Got the draft in my other league on Tuesday night.

     

    Slight caveat for a draft, 7pm EST is about as late as I can start, because I'm actually on GMT.

  6. Yeah, sure. Let's go with that. Nothing at all to do with the scientific fact that the tears of defeated Englishmen are the sweetest in all the world.

    ^_^

    On the plus side, no more homer ITV commentary, yay.

  7. When personal foul = D lineman swats at a pass, misses and glances Tom Brady's helmet, then Brady cries enough that the ref throws a flag just to stop the temper tantrum, this is a bad rule.

     

    It's terrible officiating, which isn't quite the same thing. A league with as much money as the NFL should be able to fix both problems in their rule books and problems with the people calling them; Making ejections less vague is one of the former.

     

    Of course, if it goes through then some work on what a Personal Foul is needs to be done: is excessive celebration a personal foul? I know it's fifteen yards, but someone doesn't need to be chucked for it. However, the Carolina player who came in head-first and late on a guy who'd been tackled deserves to be one brain-fart away from being gone.

     

    I would like to hear officials mic'd up all the time, just to get a sense of the conversations they have with players. At least, on TV; it's not like I'm asking for the referee on the PA every moment of the game.

  8. I'd definitely limit the definition of what's "yellow cardable" but I think it's a good idea. Rules regarding ejection are a little discretionary at the moment.

    I think it's a good rule, but that's a separate issue from NFL referees being shit. I don't think they're crooked, just shit.

  9. Priestland plays much better with Young Jonathan Davies than Biggar does, so there's that. Biggar takes better drop goals. Still, he could probably use the week off. Given what happened the last time Wales played Ireland in the Six Nations in Dublin, I'll take that result.

     

    Italy were structured and disciplined and everything English people like, and France were the most French team in years. Neither side could kick from the tee, and it led to a glorious match; and shades of Jamie Peacock with that last drop goal attempt.

  10. Are there not rules about Professional Fouls like that in the NFL?

    Yeah, 15 yard penalty or half the distance to the goal. I thought it was a dirty play, but a smart play. Up until that point the Panthers couldn't do shit on offense, so if you have the choice between a one yard penalty and a touchdown, choose the penalty.

    I suppose I'm used to the mentality where a deliberate attempt to stop a score by illegal means gets the hammer dropped on the offending player. So to me, that's incredibly dirty play.

  11. Splitting the difference between SA and Austin - the New Braunfels Raiders? I don't need that crap 20 miles from my house screwing up traffic 8 times a year. Screw that.

    I vote for:

    I would support them until the end of time if they made a trade for Landry Jones.

  12. You guys are making me feel like there would be money in an Alternative Super Bowl Half Time Show, much like the Channel Four Alternative Christmas Message.

    Bonfires, barbecue, massive projector screens (so people attending can watch the game,) and thrash. I could go for that.
