re: Chris Chandler -- What good is Crystal Chandelier when he gets broken EVERY TIME HE PLAYS? I do not like football because it only happens once a week and then you have the sad parade of injury reports trickling in all week long.

I don't like the Rams. I'll choose Kurt because he's got that great George Michael stubble every time I see him. Let's do TS: Jason Sehorn v. Vinny Testaverde in the battle of WHO IS MORE USELESS!

Warner fell prey to the Chunky's curse (watch out Philadelphia!), but the Rams' turnaround has more to do with Martz figuring out he needs to get Faulk the ball as much as possible than with Bulger being this year's Tom Brady.

whoever can get the team to win should be QB -- football can be a bitch like that. see also, e.g., the Jets pre- and post-Chad Pennington.

Pirates closer Mike Williams was my pony league baseball coach.

Taking Sides: Kerry Collins VS a tackling dummy
The dummy might fumble a few more times (MIGHT), but you don't have to worry about INTs. Advantage: dummy.

So, like, outside of a decent sized portion of players, everyone sucks? Nice one.
Anyway, I still think Jason Sehorn gets paid more money than Jake Plummer to sit around doing nothing, so he's obviously superior to all other players in his uselessness.

I ducked because bringing up the Joe Montana cokehead rumors tends to get shouted down as vaguely unAmerican.
Atlanta Hawk's great Tree Rollins lived across the street from my grandparents when I was a kid, I went fishing with him once.
My dad golfs with Morten Anderson occasionally.

The Packers and the Steelers and the Bills aren't too impressive if you think about it either. THey're just dudes, yo. A Bear or a Lion could totally fuck them up.
Buccaneers vs. Pirates: fite! (ignore the obvious fact that they're playing two different sports for sake of discussion)

Which reminds me -- if hockey is the most violent of the pro sports, why do they have the wussiest names? Like there'd be any contest between a Bear and a Ranger.

Fair and square? This is sports we're talking here. And why is the West Coast offense gimmicky when, say, "smashmouth" ball isn't?
― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 20 November 2002 06:06 (twenty-two years ago) link
Watching defensive linemen fight offensive linemen to open space for the backs (aka "smashmouth") = good football.
Watching weak-armed quarterbacks throw dinky two-yard slants and watching receivers eat up garbage yards and thereby boosting their stats (aka "West Coast offense") = a dumbed-down abomination of football. and boring as fuck to watch.
I give Bill Walsh credit for three things and three things only: (a) taking advantage of the rule changes in the late seventies/early eighties, that made West Coast offenses more viable; (b) knowing what he had, talentwise, and making the most of it; and (c) picking Joe Montana and building the offense around what he could do, especially since Montana never "technically" was the best QB of his times (which ties in with point b).

Warner tried to catch on with the Canadian Football League or NFL Europe, but those teams weren’t interested, either. So he worked at the Hy-Vee in Cedar Falls, earning $5.50 per hour as he continued to pursue his quixotic goal.Warner crashed on a cot at Brenda’s parents’ house and watched the kids during the day while working nights. He also spent three hours per day working on his passing skills at his former college and lifting weights, but understandably he began to wonder whether he was just “prolonging the inevitable.”Still, the grocery shelves wound up providing a surprising source of inspiration. One night when stocking the cereal aisle, he noticed a Wheaties box with Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, a future Hall of Famer, on the front.“Once on the shelves, it seemed that Dan ‘The Man’s’ eyes followed me like one of those creepy paintings in a horror movie as I walked back and forth throughout the night,” Warner recalled in his own Hall of Fame induction speech in 2017. “Every time I looked at the box, Dan seemed to be asking, ‘Are you going to spend your life stocking someone else’s cereal boxes, or are you going to step out and make sure someone else is stocking yours?’”

i want to know if dan marino thinks that is a question he would ask. and btw of course we want someone else stocking our cereal boxes. we want them to be fully stocked with a variety of our favorite materials, at least 2 deep and preferably 5 to 7 boxes deep, faced properly and with crisp edges. and we want that stocking to be done before we even arrive, so we don't have to see it done. - dan marino
