We should all get eznark a George Zimmerman painting for Christmas.
I enjoy Barnwrll overall but I've been getting really sick of him quite literally making up success percentages for game situations out of thin air in his columns and then forming his entire argument around them. It's antithetical to how advanced analysis is supposed to function and is about as rigorous and insightful as random filler comments from football TV announcers. Also SSS caveats abound.
If you don't know the answer then say you don't know the answer, don't just make one up.

What in the hairy.
Cam Sound FX from the Jets game: http://www.nfl.com/videos/carolina-panthers/0ap2000000300652/Sound-FX-Cam-Newton
lol at Cam asking why he's not on the hands team for onside kicks.
Also LOL at Geno at the end to Cam: "Ay, let's trade jerseys or something."
It's ok Geno, don't be afraid to ask for Cam's jersey. You can keep yours.

Besides, if Cam wanted Geno's jersey he would find a way to get it.
There is only a single, untranslatable word to describe this: fremdschämen.
Imagine if kickers/punters still wore this style lolz his nose would be ben'd to the left or right
...Now I miss Punty McOneBar...
Romo is a pretty good QB. This whole choking business reminds me of the idiots that talk about clutchness in baseball regarding Arod.

You don't think some players play better or worse when the stakes are higher? Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco would like a word with you.
Don't forget he has to spray paint his name on it.
He is a pretty good QB who is asked to carry the whole team. And when that happens and you have to win every game you are going to fuck up time to time and lose the game too.
I don't think he is an elite QB and he obviously needs help in that he needs to be told to be more careful with the ball and someone has to force the Cowboys coaches to run the ball.
AND LOL @ DEFENSE.
That last 5 minute stat can still be misleading. In 5 minutes Romo is going to have to lead 2 game winning drives, not just one since the defense is going to let the other team score after his first drive.
We focus too much on the last plays of the game, which will inherently lead to more interceptions and what not because QBs have to force the ball to even have a shot of winning, and coaches have to call riskier plays.
When Romo's offense puts of 30+ points the loss can never be on him, that is how I see it. (Except of course if the opposing team scores a bunch of defensive points.)
Edit. The fuck is wrong with me defending a Dallas player, I despise Dallas and everyone who lives, works, or even travels through that city.

The Dolphins are 2 sacks away from the 1969 franchise record yet they're a respectable 8-6. I wonder how good this team could be with a functional o-line and dependable running game?
Not really no. If we're going to talk about playoff games, then stuff like sample size comes up. Joe Montana's SB numbers are amazing and probably won't ever be equaled. Do you think he rose to the occasion or he's simply one of the best QBs ever and played like it for four games?
Just look at Eli this year for an example, there are any number of other reasons that come into play with any player. They could be going through a divorce, or impregnanting seven different women at once like Cromartie. Who knows how that all affects things? It's just lazy to me to say Chokmo at this point.
Chokmo's team averages 28 points per game on the year. I'd say that's pretty good.

That sounds like Simmons's school of creating your own stats. Let's create a stat threshold where I add points, assists and rebounds in playoff games, and whoever is at 38 is epic, rest is not clutch. (38, or whatever number it was in his bball book, just so Larry makes it into his list.) Nothing against Bird, or that book as a whole, but I can't stomach Simmons which puts me off Grantland. Which is wrong, there are actually a few good writers there.

Maybe Geno will ask for jcamps jersey after the game.
He'll ask him to sign his copy of JET Magazine.

Cam is all smiles and jokes when things are going his way but then he turns into Vince young jr at the first sign of trouble!
Why does he have to be Vince Young Jr? Why can't he be Rob Johnson Jr at the first sign of trouble?
Fucking racist.
Yeah, after 2005 Jake was one of the best playoff QBs of all time statistically:
Then Delhommageddon 2008 happened and he was never the same again

I guess it just seems weird to me to completely ignore the fact that these players are human. Humans are physically influenced by things like stress and pressure. You think every missed free throw in a clutch moment of a basketball game was 100% determined by a player's skill? Not everyone is a consistent, emotionless robot like your boy (I use the term "boy" as part of an expression, not necessarily as an indication of gender as it obviously doesn't apply here) Brady!
Watching how humans react as the pressure and stakes are raised is one of my favorite aspects of sports. Acting like everyone out there is always consistent whether it's the SB or a backyard practice just seems willfully ignorant to me.
At least he's not an immature little boy who goes favoriting tweets that hate on him like some teenage girl
Also he doesn't fuck turtles:
We know this... how?
I'm glad this was reposted after eznark got unbanned. Your hatefulness disgusts me!
Welcome back.

Funny coming from you when ya boy looks like he's going to go end himself after a loss
To be fair to prople not named Brady, when your only reponsibility is to mechanically follow the Belichick offensive flowchart as you stand in the comfortable pocket created by your pro bowl O-Line either chucking it to an uncoverable receiver or throwing to [insert slot receiver here] who will always be open because lol NFL rules then it's easy to approach your QB duties as an emotionless robot!

I love that picture. I still have it at my house on the front page of Santa Cruz Sentienl, with the headine: "So Close"
So good
Also, Patriots suck, and Terrelvis Suggservil is going to knock the Uggs off of Brady.

Still a lot of Panthers fans in my area because of Jake. He was born 10 minutes from my parents house, went to school right down the street, and college where I attended. Hes a local hero.

Maybe he can learn how to put a towel over his head and sulk on the sideline rather than use constructive criticism to improve his game!

Cam is having the best overall season of his career.
People got a hold of the tape on Squidward and now he's been exposed as a fraud and a phony.
