well

good thing that doesn't happen here!
I never come in here, but I doubt its the same as the NBA thread. A lot of racist and/or sexist jokes, homophobia etc. Its just weird to see that stuff on GAF.

For the record people DO get banned for saying stuff like this. Its just that it happens.
 
Good man, Peyton. Get that elephant out of the way with class.

NBA-GAF is the worst of SportsGAF.

We can't let NBA-Age's death go un-avenged! We have to strike back! This isn't over! Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
 
I don't care that he approved it, same thing with Largent. It shouldn't even be a question. A number is retired, shouldn't be unretired for a free agent signing. It's manning's decision in the end, no team is going to force you to wear a retired number.

That goes both ways. I doubt if Elway offered for Manning to wear it that he would turn it down. Also, Manning said he personally called Tripucka and said that he wouldn't wear it unless he really felt Tripucka wanted him too.

I see no reason why he would lie about that.

I'm not saying he's lying, I'm saying he's a prick for wanting to wear a retired number.
 
What the hell am I supposed to do with all these Mike D'antoni pics now?

Anyway, Manning handled all the Tebow questions great.
 
Manning said he frowned upon the idea until Tripucka personally told him he would be honored if he wore it.

Hardly sounds like a prick to me.


ok, so he didn't want to do it, yet called Tripucka for?

Again, I don't care who wanted it, approved it, etc.


What in the Blue Hell are you smoking? You post there constantly.


where is "here" right now?

So if both Tripucka and Elway suggested to him to wear the number 18, and he accepted, that still makes him a prick?

I think you're over-acting a bit.

I agree with levious here. If calvin Johnson came to the Niners tomorrow, and Jerry Rice personally told him he can wear #80, I'd still be pissed lol

Which is why the people in here shitting on bestgaf are ridiculous.

Newsflash: All of Sports-GAF will be shut down pretty soon.

Opiate is still probably upset from the time all of GAF got on him in that Super Bowl thread.

yes, it's a complete lack of respect for older "lesser" players. What do you know about Tripucka? That he was the face of an organization in the early years and had his number retired is his entire legacy.
 
It has been pretty shitty lately. I would welcome a mass banning than to hurt those who follow the rules and need outlets for their favorite basketball teams.

Go Knicks! :'(

I pop in to that thread during Jazz games and like to chat about the game with other Jazz fans. I posted like 3 posts before the thread got locked so I look like a fucking idiot.

oh well..

why do people have to be so dumb? keep it to basketball stuff people.

end of story.

can I tell you how excited I am to see Manning in a Bronco Jersey? I might even road trip from SLC to catch a Bronco game.

This is just like when bullied kid grew up to be the Dean in Old School.

And yet Tripucka is the one who brought up Peyton wearing the number.

That put Peyton in an odd place to begin with. If he still declined then I could see people spinning the story as him disrespecting Tripucka.

oh I can't wait to be able to buy an official #80 9ers jersey with another name besides Rice after he wore it with Seattle.

Oh he did?! My bad I hadn't read that!


No chance anyone criticizes Manning for not wearing a retired number.
 
NFL gaf just operates the way I'd imagine a meetup of different fanbases would. Not so much fighting but just talking shit and poking fun of the others. Nothing wrong with that. Sports breed competition and shit talking is part of that.
 
What? How? I'm at work and I'll only be home past midnight today. I'm dying to see this. Tell me more!

He was really mature about the situation and basically said that if Tebow is on the team, then it'll be his (Peyton's) job to help him where he can and work with him. Said he's met him previously and everything that people say about his personality and type of person Tebow is portrayed to be is true.

But you're a saints fan what would you know!

All I know about Tripucka is that he allowed (wanted) Peyton to wear his jersey. Let him decide if he is being disrespected or not. I seriously doubt that they would of forced him to un-retire his jersey if he didn't want to.

Also, the whole retiring of a jersey number is rather silly in the first place (imo).
