NFL (since 2016)

Post crystal falace »

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"I had Demarious Thomas to score the first TD in both halves last night at 16's a fiver a pop. Maybe I shouldn't have been greedy and should have instead just done the 1st TD for his team and cleaned up twice, instead of getting fuck all!!"

"Sanders was before my time but I've seen highlights of him. Can't stand the bloke now though he does my head in. In terms of sheer speed surely Tyreek Hill is the fastest to ever play in the NFL? (atleast play well, I remember the Patriots had a member of the American Olympic relay team on their squad a few years back but he did nothing) I've seen a clip where they show Hill's HIGH SCHOOL 200M time vs Usain Bolt when he won the Olympic and he's really not far behind"

Deon Sanders was ludicrously quick. One the reasons I love the NFL is the mix of out and out strength merchants and olympic level speed. One sniff of open space and nobody caught Deon.

"no, deoin. when he scored after an interception, though he was also used a fair bit as a receiver. still the only bloke to play in a super bowl and world series"

"players like butkus and singletary were a different breed, all about playing. not sure when it changed but sanders was one of the early showboaters. he was funny though, sometimes celebrating, high stepping yards before he'd got to the endzone :.)"

Joe Paterno used it but the original I think is Lombardi?

"I totally agree with the Lombardi (?) quote.* These end zone dances and routines are horrendous. Also, you look really stupid when your team loses and all you have to boast about is a tightly choreographed mock-up of the Thriller video involving 300lb zombies. Nah. 'When you get into the end zone, act like you've been there before'. Damn right. * Note: I think it's Lombardi. The origins of the quote are often disputed. Many coaches seem to have used it down the years."

"Proper player, Butkus. Relentless and fearsome. That's how you want your linebackers to be. He'd clothes-line his gran if it won his team the ball back."

"As much as I dislike the Seahawks, I always take pleasure in seeing Newton lose. I don't mind some arrogance, but his is to a degree that it must affect some of his on field decisions. Don't see the quality QB's doing any of the nonsense that he does, as they're too busy worrying about winning games."

"Hawks' late late win at Panthers - great decision-making and game management from Russell Wilson. Panthers really should have been maybe two scores ahead. Hawks probably not going to go much further this season, but that was a hell of a finish in a tough away fixture."

"I also think it has a lot to do with the fact that a lot of these guys come from bad upbringings and bad neighbourhoods and then get raised up and treated as Kings based purely on their athletic abilities even from High school age, they're then offered free rides through colleges and get whatever they want, not sure it really helps them get ready for the ""real world"" where people may actually say no to them."

Grumpster 10:25 Mon Nov 26 'Serious amount of lunatics play in the NFL and it would seem that quite a few of them love hitting women!' I suspect that a large proportion of those lunatics are not normally lunatics but are 'roided out of their heads. Not that that is an excuse.
