Hello CDY,

I see you're having quite the discussion, how fascinating. I did see some of the show, would like to watch the entire thing though, for science purposes.

Also, Doutzen always is always looking very good.

I hope you recorded it. It was a top-notch production with large amounts of nice things to look at, including the aforementioned Doutzen

Spoiler

and Taylor Swift, among all the other ladies

.

Pedro Martinez was the GOAT in his prime.. Love him. Manny Ramirez was my favorite player for years edit- sucks what happened to him , even I tried to convince myself it was all about that sweet stroke. People STILL try to convince themselves Griffey didn't roid.

Now we're accusing the living embodiment of integrity in baseball of PED use. This seems to be a projection issue. Perhaps you're attempting to reconcile your love for the Pats with your disapproval of PED use, and the conflict that arises when the Pats tacitly approve of PED use.

 

[Kave_Man]

Bill Simmons is stroking his dick all over twitter right now.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

The Steelers never had an answer for that fat bastard.

Did anyone ever check where Ray Lewis and co where on January 13, 1999? I am pretty sure they did it...

Also :lol at Pats fans trying to argue that their entire franchise is not based on cheating. That's like eznark trying to argue that Rodgers is a manly man or me that Big Ben is a gentleman.

I'm sure Ray was at home in Florida kicking it after an 8-8 season. I couldn't remember what our record was, and at first I checked the wrong year, but these just looked so odd, yet I remember it so well:

1998 Season

1999 Season

 

[msdstc]

Irvin tested positive after we drafted him (i.e. he was already on the team), we're giving him a second chance because he made a mistake.

Your team willingly signed someone who has a history of getting busted for PED use. That tells me all I need to know.

Surely you can see the difference between the two situations.

Ok and what I gather from your arguments is that you're a blind fanboy. Your reasoning for why irvin isn't a known PED user that was resigned is laughable, and the whole sherman failed because the test was administered wrong? LOL, David Ortiz never roided either mirite?

Were you guys running Neil O'Donnell or Slash during those years?

Our QB was Jim Harbaugh in 98

 

[Colasante]

I hope the Patriots beat the Dolphins. I'll be really disappointed if the defensive line can't put pressure on Ja'Wuan James and Dallas Thomas. Should be a much different matchup than the opener.

This post is very disrespectful. I don't appreciate the accusations of blind fanboyism. Every assertion I have made is backed up by easily verifiable facts. I'm not :kas'ing it up.

You can laugh all you want, but the fact remains that in this great country you are innocent until proven guilty, and Sherman has never been proven guilty. Like I said, you're right about Irvin, but I already addressed that in the very post you quoted.

James has been solid...just head right and you'll get the express lane to Tannehill.

and facts here- Irvin tested positive and was resigned, yes he was young, but he's a known offender.

Again I want to make this clear, I don't give a shit, that team is beast but everyone else does PEDs, they drafted well and if you took PEDs off every team they would all level out and the seahawks would still be the best D. Also if you wanna state "facts" Browner is a changed individual and has yet to test positive this year, therefore he's clean now! yayyy.

Can admit Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, and the Red Sox by default are tainted, can't admit Spygate tainted Superbowl runs.

That's why I like the Gata. He'll tell you straight up that you're a pig licker and won't jump through any hoops to do it. That kid has something special to him.

We need to start cheating....

Clean as a whistle.

 

[Colasante]

I'm just glad Bryant McKinnie is gone. He was always weirdly dominant against Chandler Jones, moreso than any other tackle.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

The standings from one of the years when your team was on hiatus, then their rebirth.

I admit it was tainted once they got caught. That being said Ortiz is still most likely hall bound, and Martinez is surefire first ballot as is Randy Johnson. We know most likely these guys roided, as did Frank Thomas who is in the hall, or Jim Thome who has a legitimate shot at the hall. They were never found guilty of it.

edit- I never said the red sox are tainted either... for some reason you guys are driving home this idea that I care about PEDs in sports. If I did that I wouldn't watch any of them. It's unfortunate since in order to thrive for a lot of players they NEED to do these, given they're dangerous and illegal, it's an unfortunate situation for them. If The sox are Tainted than so is every other franchise who won a WS. Andy Pettite, A-roid, Roger Clemens, so on so forth.

 

[sf2fanatic]

That Jax team in 99. More wins than the last 5 years combined?

 

[cdyhybrid]

and facts here- Irvin tested positive and was resigned, yes he was young, but he's a known offender.

Irvin is still on his rookie contract, I'm not sure where you're getting this. You really need to look these things up instead of slandering people with blatant falsehoods.

They were so good in Madden the first year PS2 madden came out.

 

[Godslay]

For the record, I'm sure every team has some PED abuser on their squad. It's clear though that the Pats have developed something that is undetectable, is more potent then what every other team has, and probably consulted Balco, Lance Armstrong, and traded a tainted Superbowl ring to Vladmir Putin to get the technology.

It's an unfair advantage when the rest of us have to use adderall.

That's with Brunell, Fred Taylor and the D?

 

[jakncoke]

Holy shit, that first game back for the Browns. They only had 12:11 time of possession

[JABEE]

Wisconsin's football coach is leaving?

 

[msdstc]

To add to the PEDs argument and steroids in sports, it's the same reason the idea of making them legal has been brought up on more than one occasion. The problem is, Steroids are dangerous so now you have 2 athletes, both are great athletes. 1A is doing them 1B isn't. In order to make it or at least earn what 1A has, 1B is now in a way forced to break rules, given who he is going against has an unfair advantage.

I'm not even going that far with my argument, although I can't rule it out because they haven't proven they AREN'T doing this, but it's clear that they tacitly approve of PED use with their signing of noted PED abuser Brandon Browner. I don't think there's anything too upsetting about that, because of the aforementioned widespread use of it, but it still is indeed an endorsement of that activity.

Much like when the Niners signed Eric Wright, but they're a classy organization with a long history of doing things the right way, so they realized the mistake they had made and let him go.

Well, they were basically The Replacements.

Not much has changed.

Is Jones confirmed for sunday?

90 plays to 28 is amusing

Kordell years

I forgot that 99' collapse 5-3 start 6-10 finish

Kordell was unstoppable until that racist Shanahan (always working to keep the black qb down) showed that the way to stop him was make him throw deep. He just didn't have any accuracy.

But man that was an existing time until the AFC Championship.

For that I will always love Slash.

 

[JABEE]

I'm thrilled, he was fucking shit.

Seems like he was mad that Wisconsin had high academic standards for recruited players.

 

[eznark]

Seems like he was mad that Wisconsin had high academic standards for recruited players.

He benched all of our punters and trotted the 3rd string QB out there all year to punt 20 yards. He's a fucking retard. Good riddance. I'm sure he'll be successful in the garbage spread brand of football he loves so much.

[Konka]

Guys, everyone is roiding, this is getting silly. Here, have some.

 

[Colasante]

Is Jones confirmed for sunday?

No, but I'd guess he'll play. He'll probably have reduced snaps, so it'll likely be another week of anemic pass rush and long QB scrambles.

 

[Himynameischris]

Konka knows how to get everyone to change the topic.

No, but I'd guess he'll play. He'll probably have reduced snaps, so it'll likely be another week of anemic pass rush and long QB scrambles.

I can't say much since we signed Talib. I guess we condone PED use as well. Internet 1 Godslay and the Denver Donkeys 0. Think I'll go ly down.

true

Didn't even have to waterboard you to get this out. Doesn't feel right.

It's the American Way and it's only €1.45

I guess so, but our teams occasionally do things that are hard to defend as a fan. Such is life in sports.

 

[Tamanon]

Look at those beautiful Jags records in 98-99 :/

That stuff does look european as fuck. probably shitty.

Yeah like Holding on to Aldon Smith despite the DUI, the bomb threat, the general scummy stuff. How about the steelers holding onto a sexual deviant and keeping him as the face of the franchise? How about the bears giving Brandon Marshall, an admitted wife beater and generally CRAZY dude a nice fat contract. You got Ray Lewis the face of a franchise despite his whole "murder" thing or at least being involved in some way. I'm not arguing that any of these franchises are tainted about it, I just think you're trying a little too hard to say the pats are the only ones who do it. To add to the list- Julius peppers tested positive and has been on multiple teams since then, Shawn Springs on multiple teams after testing positive, Dwyane Bowe, Shawne Merriman, Santonio Holmes, Bruce Irvin (despite not Resigning Per-se he wasn't let go, so they knowingly kept him on the squad), Kevin Williams, will smith, aqib talib, joe haden, tamba hali, justin blackmon, fred davis, and the list goes on.

For that matter, Sean Payton was suspended for an entire season, as far as I know that's the only head coach ever to miss a whole season, for a bounty scandal, which IMHO opinion is worse than PEDs or any sort of "cheating", given these are real people with real lives. I'd be foolish however, to think that they were the only team doing that.

Goodbye, J Roll.

It was time.

I thought this was a good line myself.

These morons are not good enough for comedy this good. They deserve all 90 of Gata's daily posts.
