"More Diss" - America's favorite Dystopian pastime 2022-2023

F' this game, it's time for more of the same.

Turn out the light's the party's over indeed...

I feel like my Dolphins will finally be a world-beater this year, and then in the middle of the Super Bowl, an asteroid will land in the middle of the field.

Breaking: NFL and NFLPA reached agreement on an 11-game suspension for Browns QB Deshaun Watson, per sources. The settlement also includes a fine of $5 million that will go to charity. Deal still is not signed but it is agreed to. pic.twitter.com/2dFvcePL9k

Still should be a full season, but I guess Watson coming back to a 3-8 Browns team is kinda funny

shouldn’t feel too different from being on the texans. just worse weather. and more boos

Ahem...as I understand, this could be his first game back. NCAA March Madness bracketologists agree...

12/4 - Cleveland @ Houston

i don't understand why any teams are having 'joint practices', let alone the two teams that faced each other in the super bowl

It is an old football tradition. My high school would usually do a joint scrimmage one with another team in the county (usually one we did not play) before the season started.

Then again, practice was still pretty much full on and in full pads except Thursday walk through before the JV game.

I kinda like not following any football (or sports in general) these days, I get surprised. Heck I did not know the Steelers took a guy from Pitt in the first round. I kinda remember from highlights he was pretty good, but I did not know they took him in the first round.

I guess it comes around they did not want to screw up like they did with Marino back in the bronze age. Mark Malone my a$$.

My boys are up 17 idk what to do with this

nice catch

Wtf at Bengals

I HEART YORK!!!!!

(That would be Cade York, who just kicked a 60-yard game-winning field goal for the Browns!!)

Lmao Indy and Houston tied

Cincy and Pitt probably about to

lol bungles

also joe burrow is gonna die if he continues to get hit that many times

Steelers and Bengals was a pretty fugly game. Pittsburgh may have finally won it, but I got a feeling Watt and Harris are pretty hurt. Mitch is still Mitch.

oh, the steelers are not ~good~

which is even more reason to enjoy them beating the afc champs on the road

when people have pointed out Tua was a bit sloppy today (which he was, admittedly) as a pre-text to shit on him, I point them to Rodgers and Burrows's games today.

Rodgers's was worse, I think, because a few of Burrows's turnovers were due to his o-line rapid collapsing, whereas all Aaron did was check down all game and held onto the ball way too long.

Rodgers still plays at a high level but I think he's lost what made him a cut above the league around the time he was winning the Super Bowl, like he shows up when he feels like it. must be that 'cleanse'.

(not to take away from Minnesota, whose defense was inspired af today)

it's also his first game with several of those receivers, one of whom dropped a perfectly thrown TD pass on the first offensive snap

yeah that drop was inexcusable

Mike McCarthy trying to accelerate his firing, apparently

do the Cowboys always commit 8-10 completely unnecessary penalties or do they just do this during nationally televised games

it's the thing fans were angry at McCarthy for last year, so imagine coming into the first game of the new season and showing nothing's improved

this is a pretty embarrassing showing for Dallas

Tampa Bay isn't even exactly firing on all cylinders either (which isn't shocking for Week 1), and yet the gulf between the two are still so wide

Dak out with thumb injury, going into tent.

Cooper Rush playing QB.

it's nuts that they're still taking bets on Bovada for the Bucs to win, straight up, at -50000. the easiest money you'd ever win...even though it would be peanuts unless you put down like a quarter of a million lol

feel like those sites have a limit on how much you can put on a bet like that

oh they probably do

I mean....how do you have a backup THIS green? Mike McCarthy is like the dude who refuses to buy car insurance cos he's 'just goin to the store'

hard to tell how good he really is, this is garbage time and the Bucs really dgaf anymore

It's been a great day

I love Justin Jefferson like a son

Cowboys' season is pretty much over already

LMAO @ Seattle's center getting blown up by the corner and Geno throwing a TD anyway

what's happening to Denver at the goal line reminds me a lot of what happens in Madden when the game decides ahead of time that the CPU is gonna win

what on earth was Denver trying to do there

Some of the worst head coaching I've ever seen

A 64 yard FG vs picking up a 4th and 5 with plenty of time and three timeouts.

Ffs Russell coulda scrambled for it

Denver trying to smother that Russell Wilson magic in the crib

love him using those last two timeouts just in case geno fumbles the kneel-down

I’d say that I’m flabbergasted at the clock mismanagement at the end of that game, but it happens so often anymore that I’m just kind of numb to it. Why are NFL teams so bad at this???

i don’t think it was clock mismanagement— if you honestly believe having your kicker make the second-longest kick in nfl history is more likely than russell wilson picking up five yards, then letting the clock wind down to 20 seconds is the right move. it’s the first part that’s the problem

No, no, this wasn't mismanagement, this shit was by design. Hackett seemed to think this was a brilliant plan, sneaking McManus onto the field after the timeout and freaking Carroll the fuck out for a moment.

A head coach of an NFL team thought a kick whose length is two yards off of the all time record had better odds than picking up five yards with a $242 million dollar QB has a job.

Xpost lol mookie otm

How the fuck did we manage to say the same thing simultaneously lol

At least when Lane Kiffin did it he was trolling

I had to double check to make sure the game wasn't being played in Denver

Broncos must have been using the Andy Reid Clock Management Manual.

can't decide if this dude is a hero or a villain

column a, column b

rest in peace, Bud Grant

I find it pretty hilarious to go through some psych native vision quest retreat and come out saying “I WANT to play for the JETs!”

What a F’n weirdo…

I mean the Jets had the last HOF-bound Packer QB on their roster in his waning hours, I guess they want to collect the whole set

jets with rodgers are gonna be good trying not to get my hopes up

also not looking forward to rooting for this asshole if he does come, but he would immediately become a top two signal caller in franchise history and probably not number two

show some respect for ken o’brien

Vinnie Testeverde and Boomer Esiason were a couple of other vets Jets.

both old, tho vinny def spent his best years with the jets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4BKPYiEgGk

Jets signing Lazard, looking at signing Cobb, they already have Hackett, so it very much seems they believe they're gonna land him

the jets have shown interest in marcedes lewis lol

lmao that would probably be a dealbreaker for Rodgers

lazard would actually be a pretty good fit with the jets wr corps. moore and wilson are good but neither is tall!

I find it pretty hilarious to go through some psych native vision quest retreat and come out saying “I WANT to play for the JETs!”

What a F’n weirdo…

Not that weird, he has more than 60 million reasons to sign with them.

what can you say, Rodgers has some interesting takes when it comes to Jets

Enjoy the NY media

oh gosh lol

what can you say, Rodgers has some interesting takes when it comes to Jets

haha!

welp, there he goes

trade still needs to happen, but i think he legitimately will enjoy the ny media. nothing he loves more than "silencing" "doubters" and "clapping" "back" at "critics"

this is the perfect set up for an all time flame out, just need to execute

need something to one-up the butt fumble

i'm sure someone will sign him, but it sure looks like zeke elliott is done as a significant player at age 27

there really ought to be a different salary structure for featured backs

look I know playoff success ain't everything but it's amazing to me that if Jay Cutler hadn't gotten injured during the 2010 NFCCG there's a very good chance Rodgers would have never played in a single Super Bowl. a lot of people are talking about the very obvious Favre/Rodgers parallels right now but I find it kind of amazing that virtually no one I know wanted him to stick around. it wasn't like that with Favre - so many people here were like "I gotta be a Jets fan now".

walk me through how the worm turned with cheeseheads and rodgers

look the Packers were set up insanely well to win multiple SBs after 2010, the fact that they never made it back is a remarkable failure. they should've done what the Chiefs are doing now (I will point out too that Mahomes is 27 now - same as Rodgers was when he won it all). they had one of the greatest offenses in NFL history and still found a way to lose to Eli Manning at home. they picked off Russell Wilson 5 times in an NFCCG and still lost it. yes a lot of this had more to do with McCarthy and the front office's baffling decision to never prioritize WRs, but after a while it became clear that Rodgers just did not deliver in big games. so many of his playoff wins were nailbiters in which he threw for like 250 yards and 2 TDs in the first half and then finished with like...320 yards and 2 TDs. and he lost a bunch of playoff games by just throwing to the same dude over and over again. two years ago Rodgers won MVP but wound up losing to Jimmy flippin' Garrapolol (who didn't throw a single TD!) because he would rather throw to a triple-covered Davante Adams than a wide open Lazard doing cartwheels in the end zone. he was just so fucking weird all the time, not in the Favre "maybe he's just not too bright" way, but like in the Dilbert dude way. he's just so unlikeable as a person. the vaccine thing really did rub a lot of people the wrong way...being an antivaxxer is one thing, but trying to deceive everyone and then whining when you get caught, it's like...come on man

actually I'm pretty sure people knew he was a giant weirdo for a while, at least starting when his brother got on the Bachelorette and it was revealed that Aaron actually cut his entire family out of his life for some reason. then that big SI expose comes out about him and McCarthy featuring all these very specific stories of him being a bad teammate and he just goes "nah, that's all fake" like he's Michael Jackson or something. all good as long as he's playing well right? well, this year he sucked. the one thing he always had was his accuracy and now he was bouncing footballs off defenders' helmets. he even did that thing you'd see with Mark Sanchez where he'd throw deep and it would fake out the cameraman because there would just be no one there. even still every single thing broke Green Bay's way and they actually had an opportunity to make it to the playoffs simply by beating a deflated Lions team with nothing to play for, AT HOME. once again he gets out there and chucks it around like he forgot the entire playbook. they could have salvaged the entire season!!! instead, game on the line, he chucks it deep where it's nothing but Detroit, and his last pass in GB goes down as a season ending interception

anyway, I don't think anyone's really convinced by Jordan Love, but who knows! there's like a 15% chance he's good! but hey, at best what you're getting with Rodgers at this point is another humiliating early playoff exit, so why not roll the dice??

ah yeah makes sense choking increasing weirdness and lack of focus thx

as you point out there were earlier signs that he was a dumbass but i still cant believe that he went on podcasts just to reveal what a dodo he is, and hes still doing lmao he was on a podcast just yesterday whining about the media

he had a real mystique for a while as the smart alt qb lol

somehow podcasts are an even more absurd way to ruin your image than posting on social media which is how most athletes do it, like you cant even figure out how to post you need someone to ask you questions to fuck things up

that SI story was pretty illuminating, just running through the gamut of ways Rodgers was weirdly petty and unforgiving. there's a bit in there about Rodgers telling the guys on the other team covering Greg Jennings "you should pick him up next year" since his contract was up. its a very specific thing and I think someone even found the video in the broadcast where it happens, and it would be so easy for him to just say "yeah I was joking around, of course we wanted to keep him" he just denies the whole thing happened and just goes "he hates me for no reason". very Trumpy behavior all around.

I know it's probably nothing but I always wondered what exactly it was that caused this guy to fall so far in the 2005 draft. I used to watch a bunch of the ESPN shows back then and I remember a lot of the talk about Aaron Rodgers vs. Alex Smith, and I am pretty sure the consensus was that while Smith may have been more of a "sure thing" Rodgers had way more upside and was definitely the guy you wanted if you were a rebuilding franchise. Plus he was from Cali so everyone wanted the 49ers to draft him. Not only did they not draft him but three quarters of the league passed on him as well. I've never seen anything like that before, usually when theres a franchise QB debate those guys always go 1-2 or 1-3. I wonder if there was some story about him back then that was causing all these teams to get cold feet.

tbf it was probably something absurd like ‘he’s too smart’

yeah but he’s totally gonna turn things around and lead the jets to the promised land (winning 1 playoff game)

The thing w Rodgers’ family was iirc at the time played off like his family was a weird bunch and he had to do it but now it seems like maybe they’re the sane ones. Comparatively speaking. I assume any family that raised this dude is not totally normal.

like so many dudes, he just should have kept his mouth shut and could have remained "enigmatic" instead of an un-enigmatic dumbass

The most “enigmatic” guy I knew got very un-enigmatic around the time he left L.A. and Trump became president. He turned from boring and quiet to boring and fascist pretty quickly.

one last thing for someone loves to go on and on about the power of manifestation and affirmation he sure as hell has lost a lot of playoff games as a solid favorite

I feel like after he won his title, he switched off

Like the board description during his Super Bowl win against the Steelers was "Gay 4 Aaron Rodgers".

He went from untouchable to disappearing in crucial moments

Packers were a bit like Mannings Colts where they were the best in NFL in November and then would with have injuries or let foot off accelerator for last few weeks and come in with bad game to open playoffs.

I feel like after he won his title, he switched off

idk about that, I mean the year after he had probably one of the greatest seasons a QB's ever had. even with a crappy defense everyone thought they might go 19-0 because they were scoring touchdowns on every possession

Rodgers just has this thing where he's super good but I think once you solve the Packers' gameplan he doesn't really have the ability to figure out where the openings are. In fact he's remarkably stubborn sometimes. That's why he has a lot of really insane 1st halves but by the 2nd its like "dont look now but he's still not over 300 yards". even during the SB year this was a problem, they'd come out and wallop teams and build the kind of lead that seemed insurmountable yet somehow the opposing team would always seem to have a chance to win it in the end. We kept saying this is gonna come back to bite them in the ass. Compare to Tom Brady who seems to be the opposite, no matter what you do the guy figures out a way to at least make it close in the end

basically with his arsenal of weapons and ability yet failure to win in the end, coupled with the terrible ideas he gets in his head because he spends to much time listening to the wrong people and alienating everyone around him and his tendency to hang out huddled up in dark chambers, he’s the closest thing the nfl has to saruman.

snyder selling the team, never thought i'd see the day

HATCATs worth 6 big ones, which is cray cray. I'm sure that is enough money for Snyder to do plenty of other evil shit for the rest of his life.

Aaaaand the Rodgers trade to the Jets is a done deal, finally. I'm not sure I'll hate the Packers as much with Love as QB. We shall see.
