Support NeoGAF

[Himynameischris]

I listened to a long interview with Kluwe when his book came out in October or something. He was on Dan Patrick. He had a lot of great things to say about Frazier but was clearly pissed off at the organization and felt he was cut because of his beliefs. To me he came across as a guy who was completely unable to cope with the fact that his talent was dwindling and his career was coming to an end so he was looking for excuses and people to blame.

You read his article and it's abundantly clear that he was absolutely not cut because of his beliefs. At worst he was cut because he wouldn't keep his mouth shut. Realistically he was cut because he was easily replaceable with a better and cheaper punter.

Considering how cheap punters usually are they are pretty easy to replace too

fuck you

fuck chan too

Fuck the Pats

 

[WedgeX]

How much of NFL GAF still lives in the region their team plays in? It doesn't seem like that many of us do.

I did for my whole life up until the last year. Now I live in an area that should be mostly Washington and Baltimore fans, yet is dominated by cowboy fans.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Fuck the Pats

Thats not nice.

 

[eznark]

He kept repeating that his punting hadn't declined. I remember him talking about how his coach didn't want him to kick it as deep as he could when he was in this thread a year or so ago.

He seems to have good convictions, but he hasn't come to terms that his falling out of the league had as much to do with his decline as his public persona.

He also slid in there a few times how he had bad games and bad punts. When you're easy to replace and having a down year...probably best to not also be a pain in your coaches ass. You simply aren't worth it.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Neither is cheating!

That's what it comes down to for me. Guy is on the bubble performance wise at one of the more replaceable positions and creates drama for the team to deal with? Any decent team would make the same decision.

God damnit, I was slightly interested in watching it before I saw this.

Born in Aurora, CO but raised in Denver most of my life and back in Aurora. Cheer for all the home teams...well except the Rockies for obvious reasons.

He picked us to lose, so it's alright.

 

[RellyRell28]

lol are you actually questioning the dedication of green bay fans?

this probably changes a lot

Well I'm not going outside Sunday -20 good god

 

[Fantomex]

Bravely Default demo is out 3ds owners. Get dat.

 

[gutshot]

Yes. Ground and roads are covered. 4-6 inches expected tonight more in the morning and afternoon. Friday Night the lows will be at 5F.

Man, I miss that. The excitement and anticipation the night before and then waking up the next day to a snow-covered landscape.

Don't miss the shoveling though.

 

[Kave_Man]

Oh boy!

Explain

 

[effzee]

You're one of the few Eagles GAF members who do. I know effzee is in NYC, I'm in Raleigh, Konka is about to move out of the country and yankeehater lives... somewhere.

Yeah I'm in NYC but did spend close to 7 years in Bensalem right outside of Philly. Now I can't imagine ever leaving NYC (but probably will have to someday soon cause of the cost of living) but still root for all Philly teams.

Oh and on the Bucs GM:

i immediately regret shoveling the driveway. bone chilling. 20mph winds just froze my face
....the game sunday, going to be so much worse though

Thank you, sir

I hate shoveling the snow while it's still snowing, but it's the best way to limit icing. I shoveled the driveway and walkways the moment the Eagles-Lions game ended.

 

[Mrbob]

Phil Emery sure likes to talk. He had a 97 minute season ending press conference today with Trestman, but Emery did most of the talking. Any Bears fans( or any NFL fans checking out other teams) can read the highlights here:

Sounds like Emery hit a lot of topics.

 

[Himynameischris]

Would giant heat blowers be really expensive/inconvenient? Would they even work very well?

squicken's team is about to get it's ass kicked.

Yeah, I don't doubt your Philly fan credentials. I'd be surprised if any Eagles fans here weren't originally from the Philly area. The Eagles aren't the Cowboys or Patriots, they don't really have any front-runner fans.

 

[cdyhybrid]

squicken's team is about to get it's ass kicked.

Gonna need you to be more specific.

 

[Goro Majima]

Texans fans seem to be the most concentrated. It's so weird to see the local conversations about stuff.

There's just a lot of NFL GAFers in Texas period because...

People go where the jobs are. Fingers crossed, but since the oil crash in the 80s, Texas has mostly avoided the worst of all the economic downturns in the US. So young people don't leave like they do in the Rust Belt

This!

And I want to move to Wisconsin!

Half the people here in Houston are transplants so a lot of the "natives" ratchet up their state pride even more. Heck, the transplants seem to love it since I often see "I wasn't born in Texas but I got here as fast as I could!" bumper stickers...also see it on chick's dating profiles. It's really odd.

Doyle ran everyone out of Wisconsin

I think a lot of the flight even began in the early 90s when the recession hit under the first Bush. Basically tied to manufacturing losses I think.

Which one?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

tears you up inside that he made you look foolish doesn't it? that's ok though, i'm sure The Puppet will lead you guys back to glory someday. i'm sure of it!

Good to see you are back unharmed(?) from your stripper dominatrix.

 

[Konka]

So Philly was able to sellout their tickets in 3 minutes, what is wrong with you other teams and fans?

Too good.

That's what happens when you have nothing buy fairweather fans.

I moved to San Francisco in 2007, so, after spending two decades of fandom away from my team, I'm now in the same city. Still halfway across the country from the Pacers, though.

 

[eznark]

Are you from Indiana?

Fuck yes, I cannot fucking wait to watch Tampa Bay next year.

 

[squicken]

Yep my Sooners are going to get bombed out. Oh well. Glad they made a BCS game

 

[Sanjuro]

She wasn't that was the other girl hitting people. Was a mess.

Also, you've been bumped down the list. Now you're now Florida's number two biggest Patriots fan now.

No, I'm from Detroit. Even typing that makes me feel dirty.

Close to my backyard. Great thing about cold is you can layer up, plus you get used to it. I personally like the change. The only thing that bothers me in the winter is static.

Hot weather on the other hand sucks, simply because if you have to be in it, there is not much you can do to cool down. Even worse with humidity. Spring and fall are best though.

Green Bay people are good people, didn't they clean the snow out of their stadium a couple years back? Pretty dedicated imo . Wildcard games seem to sell less quickly typically, and the even more slowly when it's blistering cold. I don't think it's much of a measure of a fan base, as the tickets will sell.
