Is opiate the dude that was a pretentious internet intellectual like a month a go saying sports was nbd and waste and people shouldn't really care that much about them?
 
Y2Kev, Blackace, Hitokage, Bishoptl, and Iaepatus (sp) are sports fan mods to some degree. Stump is reasonable. I think we might be okay, unless Opiate becomes unhinged.

All it takes is a few females to come in here, get upset because we act like idiots, and he will white knight this thread down to about 5 posters.

Our days are numbered!

Also, in other news, Goldlion is a dick and i hate his face! :(
 
Been catching up with the CG Clone Wars cartoon (Hey, it's actually not that bad. As Ben says to all his victims dates, "Don't knock it until you try it!")

They turned
Darth Maul
into a fuckin' spider!

Damnit, George Lucas, this is the kind of shit that makes your fans hate you!

The day Nick Mangold's sister joins to stan for the Jets, we're all fucked.

I believe George Lucas fandom died after Attack of the Clones, or it should have died.

Well i love Jago now so i guess we can be friends

I'm ok with this
 
Tannehill could still go to the Browns.

I would think that Tannehil is benefitting from what I'll call the Dalton Factor. I mean, in hindsight would Andy Dalton have fallen to the 2nd round? There are teams kicking themselves. So you see Tannehill, a guy who might normally be a 2nd round guy, getting a lot of air time because maybe, just maybe, he's another Andy Dalton.
 

Ugh. Without sports GAF this place is worthless to me. Sorry I am not a pathetic 14 year old virgin who can spend 10 hours a day on console fan boy wars. No one rational gives a shit about that.

No I am a pathetic married guy in my 30s who likes to shoot the shit about sports with like minded people. No one here takes it too personally if we call their qb a tranny devil spawn, or their a state backward, fat and close minded or call me a fan of rapists.

Something tells me Opiate is a Pats fan. Those guys always screw everything up!

I signed up for GAF for the sports section. I don't venture into the gaming side, since the only game I still really play is FIFA and that's only with friends.
I'm 19 and games are already starting to bore me, I only still buy them more out of habit than anything else. The amount of unfinished games I own is so stupid.

Now I just waste my time on the Internet, working and the occasional female. In that order. When I'm starting with school in September my Xbox will probably die of collecting dust.

Whenever I get on GAF NFL thread is the one I always check first.

Yeah, I'm done with the gaming side. Hopefully nothing really changes.

was hilariously bad.




Curious as to who the Lions are going to end up resigning. Best I am hoping for is a long term, super restructured deal for megatron, some kind of deal for Tulloch, and dropping Eric wright.

The coaching staff has such a boner for him, its just awful. What they see in him, I will never know
 
Surprisingly quite a few gafers are from ND. Mostly Fargo from what I gather. My wife is originally from the Bismarck area.

That's where I'm from too. I went to school at NDSU and moved to Indiana when I graduated 3 years ago. I try to get back at least once a year.
 
I really need to ditch my phone from 1990 and get a smart phone. I felt lost all day without checking ESPN or GAF for updates.

And I laughed out loud at the word "insular" being used to describe the sports threads - especially after the ignorance opiate displayed in that topic a while back.

I probably shouldn't mention college football due to the looming bans, but NDSU kicked some ass this year. Can't walk into a Scheels without an entire section dedicated to them. They were fun to watch.

SHEEEEIIIIITTTTT... I guess IncarceratedBob is saying Denver has reached out to Jax about interests in Tebow. Contingent on a Manning signing of course. Sounds like Tebow Time is winding down..

And it looks like the Manning flight was never really a Manning flight. It was an air ambulance from Canada. WTF. This is getting interesting. Can't get enough. :jnc
 
Yeah. Move it to community and move on. Who gives a shit. It's like the same 20 people every week, which makes it pretty cool. Easily the best thread on GAF.

Although with DCX pulling a Madoff, Madden GAF is right up there.

It's funny that a mod on a forum that takes six months to approve new members is bitching about insularity.

I'd rather end up in Community than change the dynamics of this thread. Although I hope that guys like bishoptl and hitokage have a say in that.

That said, cuevas tell me something aubout hangover prevention miracle cures. I'll need it.

Jacksonville would go crazy if they got Tebow.

I bet they would.

I'm conflicted at this point because he gave us an unforgettable season of Broncos football. It was a bipolar thriller and I completely believe in his ability to grow and possibly become good/great at some point. Even with that being said I want to win it all and Manning offers a good chance to be contenders and fast. If he leaves I'll still watch him, no second team shenanigans, but I'll root for him to succeed. Broncos first.
 
This thread is best of GAF, except packers fan ;p

Played journey ..... GOTY

Packer fans are loud, arrogant and annoying. That is a pretty damned good sports fanbase.

What you don't want to be is boring.

It was only hard to handle Packer-nation when they were on that crazy streak. Not everyone has the class of Steelers fans, and even we havw haRson (and diablos 3 minutes after we win the Superbowl).
 
If it wasn't for NFL-GAF, I'm not sure I would post a lot in the OT. I don't post in gaming side except for maybe when talking about those Paradox "map games" like EU3 or Victoria 2.

I feel like so much of the OT is dominated by white knights, atheists, and 9gag reposters.
 
I'm already considered douche over on NHL GAF but I feel the love on NFL GAF. MLB GAF gave me the boot for not introducing myself according to some secret rule they have. I have not tried to infiltrate NBA GAF yet.

Jags fan. When Jags players called the Texans dirty I said they were a bunch of wimps who were angry because they sucked. He posted in the thread for a couple pages defeding them.

If thats the case they can just fill the NFL thread with pics of blue tarps.

Chug Gatorade or water before you fall asleep.

NBA GAF is great once you get into it. They're pretty hard on new guys, but as long as you don't pull a jdez and lose your everlasting mind when people tease you, you'll be fine.
 
I'd be fine with a move to community if it meant changing absolutely nothing. This is the first and often only place I check when I come to GAF. Occasionally I'll skim through topics on both Gaming and OT to just get kind of a feel for "news that may interest your demographic".

I mean, I knew about Osama Bin Laden's death and told my entire family before the news even mentioned it because of GAF!

Still, I'm not sure what he meant by "too insular". I'm fine with new posters as long as they aren't two teamers. I ALWAYS like a poster that stays and takes their licks when their team chokes. So I guess that means I think Slo is okay.... :(

If we have to be overly nice to people who like two teams, what's the point of any of this?
 
When I started posting in these threads I found NFL GAF to be pretty welcoming and no one really made it seem like it was some place only for insiders or long time posters.
