I've had the BD sitting here for a week. I'll see if I can find some time this weekend to give it a watch (and Hugo).Buckethead said:

Which would make Stevie Johnson the best FA prospect. Honestly how much worse can you do than what he had in buffalo. (insert Grossman/Beck joke). I'd be happy with VJax or Johnson in Washington.

Just read about Saints players getting paid to hurt other players.
Ah, what a bunch of saints those players are.

Based on what I've heard, you probably don't know all that much more about him after seeing it either. The thing that's distasteful about these films based on shoddy biographies is that so many people then take them as gospel.
The asterisk stuff is idiotic. How does this in any way affect their winning a Super Bowl? Show me how this is a competitive advantage.
The writer spent an awful lot of time researching about J. Edgar, talking to some elderly contemporaries at the FBI. I'm not saying it was a phenomenal tale, but I don't think I'd brush it off as shoddy.
Additional compensation which is allowing them to skirt potential cap problems.
Advantage when recruiting free agents, knowing there are cash incentives which will not be taxed.
A banned motivational tool that other teams are (supposedly) not using.
Plenty of ways we can pretend this is a big deal!

Yep it's vague. Makes suggestions at things without the conviction to follow through with them.
Very PC.
It's a big deal because it proves beyond all reason that Gregg Williams and Sean Payton are cunts, and that the Saints are dirty rat bastards!
I hope this rube Bowser thinks I'm a Saints fan. :jnc :jnc :jnc
Which to me is pretty fucking cowardly and distasteful. I expect more from Eastwood.

WAT? It wasn't vague at all. Subtle at times but it provided reasons why Edgar didn't act on his feelings more impulsively and they were perfectly viable considering how much control his mother asserted over him. There were plenty of scenes centered on the sexual tension and feelings going through both characters. Hell, there was an ultimatum confrontation over it ffs.
Sorry to keep this post vanilla and vague but I don't want to spoil anything in case the other poster is going to watch it and doesn't already know.

Don't you dare call me a rube! I know you root for an equally dirty trash team! You'll be looking up at us in the division next year!
That's not the point. The conceit of the piece is that this powerful and outsized figure in American history was such a repressed figure living the role set out for him.
The writer said that he really wanted to convey the fact that his relationship with Tolson was most interesting in the fact that it was almost focused on the lack of consummation.
Eastwood obviously was around in that era, and he was trying to convey that feeling that contemporaries understood what's going on and accept it. But it's only acceptable as long as you show discretion.
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulio
Just caught up on all this Saints BS, so I'm bout to spew all my reactions...GRAPHICALLY!
Also did anyone see this:
lmao, ok big man, wtf is the NFLPA gonna do? Sue everyone who tweets at Saints players?
I know that feeling.

This game will never leave my dvr
I can say that I am not going to be drafting Claiborn in our fake mock thingy. Guy isn't as good as Peterson but is supposedly a possibility at #4? If so, a weak draft. After Kalil it's a big drop. It's why I don't have an issue with the Rams trading with the Skins over Brownies

That game is now going in the books as a forfeit because of the Saints and their idiot raffle, back to 0 earned wins for Alexis!

can't forfeit a loss bruh! although the saints and stealers will now both have an * superbowl
Can Forte hold out here?
I'm with you, if forced to pick at 6th who are we gonna get? Reiff at RT, Blackmon/Floyd, or Tannehill or claiborne? Blehhh
Regarding Coples, who was the last 3-4 DE to to be picked in the top 10? I can't really name any 3-4 DE that gets any recognition besides Seymour with the Pats and Justin Smith currently.

Don't forget the cap frauding Whiners!
The real question is: Is there any way I can pretend this is a big deal, yet not seem like a hypocrite since the Redskins did the same thing? I really want to pretend to care to annoy some Saints fans that I know but I don't know if I can pull it off now.

It's hard to care about bounties when
1) It clearly happens all the time.
2) It's purely a motivational tactic, and otherwise doesn't effect what happens between the lines.
I mean, intentionally injuring opposing players is pretty classless, but it's not like they recorded other team's practices and stole signals or something.
That said, it will be fun to hear the NFL and its media flunkies go on about how this is a scourge and affront to the game for the next 6 months. So there's that.

You could still pretend its a big deal, just say if we won a championship under these conditions we would give it back because that is the right thing to do. Not that we have to worry about forfeiting anything, maybe one playoff victory. whoop whoop suck it tampa

Remembering how Warner and Favre were blown up in the '09 playoffs, can't say I'm too surprised by this news. Though I won't clutch any pearls and act offended when it's obvious a lot of teams do this. Saints just fucked up and got caught.

Take it from a viking fan who is still bitter about the nfccg. The whole bounty thing has nothing to do with them winning the Super Bowl. They can thank the refs and Katrina for that.
It does confirm for me that they are a scumbag team though. But whatever I'm drunk. Fuck em.

You lost that game because of one Brent Lorenzo Favrera.
Don't try to revise history.
Next you'll try to tell me Fran Tarkenton was a good QB.
