Sounds like he's sulking because the QB is terrible, not because he's not getting the ball.
Still, EJ is a young guy and if Woods' has that attitude he's not someone I'd want on my team. You don't call out teammates like that.
The Lion days B.M. (Before Matthew) you never heard a word out of Megatron despite the shitty QBs Matt Millen threw his way.
I'm sure EJ is a good dude, but he really is holding that offense back.
I've even seen Watkins gator arm passes. EJ can't get them the ball consistently because he is a below average passer.
Did Watkins really admit to taking plays off? Not a good look, rookie.

That's what worries me honestly. I don't have a problem with it going to 14 but 16 is too much and it will be the point where teams under .500 will start to make the playoffs that aren't division winners. Other than Seattle winning their division at 7-9 the Strike season in 82 where they had 16 teams make the playoffs was the only other two time a sub .500 team made the playoffs(Lions, Browns).
i'd be salty if i had to rely on EJ too. i don't care if he's a good person. he's just not a good player.
i believe (hope) we can. not a fan of Hundley.

I would agree with this except the NHL postseason is the same way and I wouldn't have it any other way.
You know what a family of scorpions are called? A cyclone.
That's what NFC South bros are, a cyclone.

A Glennon doesn't need friends. Glennons are loners. Outcasts.
Goodwin was killed on a shallow cross, next play it was Watkins turn with SD up big, dude said nope....
Don't blame him. I wouldn't want to get hurt either. Have to preserve my body for free agency!
Glennon gonna start getting some of RG3's Subway money.

Glennon doesn't want any endorsement money. He should start coming to the games in a leather duster and sunglasses like Roddy Pipper's in They Live.
God that show looks so fucking terrible.
They solve crimes with their IQ!

Yea but in the NHL the bottom seed actually can win, and coming back from 0-3 is possible. Coming back from 0-3 in the NBA has never happened (force a game 7 once) #8 seed beating #1 seed only 4 times ( one of them being 3/5 series, and another during a strike year).
First round of NBA playoffs pretty damn pointless even if they sometimes give "exciting games." Like for example Portland vs Houston was a fun series in the NBA last year, but everyone knew neither of them doing shit. We knew it was going to come down to Spurs/OKC vs Miami.
And it did! I know NFL ended up with #1 vs #1 in the SB, but that doesn't happen every year.
They hooked him up with Brian Griese's wardrobe.

This is generally what I argue when discussions about it come up. Every series matters in the NHL playoffs. Every team has a shot, though not an equal one. There are usually 5 teams tops in the NBA playoffs that have any chance of winning it all, so 16 teams is overkill.

As someone who follows the FGC Geno Smith and Sanford Kelly could be brothers. They looks so much alike

Glennon can survey the field well thanks to his long giraffe-like neck

Yeah the only consistently good NBA first round series is 4 vs 5, and realistically neither can do much after that anyways so the first round always seems pointless
round 2 and beyond is my favorite phase of pro sports though
They would have been fine taking anyone, just not in the first round.
Look at it this way, they pull off the trade with St. Louis, they're sitting at 16 with the following players on the board, that all fit a hole at positions they address later in the draft, Patterson/Hopkins/Eifert. Take a WR/TE in the first, take Kiko, take Woods and you don't have to take a WR in the 3rd since you addressed the position in the first. Take whatever QB is on the board in the 3rd.
EJ was a year away at the earliest from playing QB in this league, yet they have no veteran after Kolb goes down. Raw QB thrust into action when the vet goes down, he's a first round pick so everyone wants him to play, rest is history.
If they do what I suggest, no need to scramble for Watkins in the '14 draft, you sit back and do whatever the fuck you want as Manziel and Bridgewater fall into your lap. You could even trade back and still land them. Then have two young QBs, and have them fight for the right to play QB, while keeping your draft assets.
Nope, we have to complicate things, rush the process and force selections. Whatever, enjoy your next job...
I don't know if anyone is interested in reading this, or if it was already posted, but Esquire (lolwut) put up a decent article about ESPN regarding domestic violence, the panel tomorrow, and BIll Simmons.
Here's a small excerpt.

8 seeds actually have a chance in the nhl. Nba has the worst parity

Gut feeling, Chiefs win tomorrow. It's at home and if they lose the season's over in that division @ 1-3. Pats are favored by 3.
Amen. If only cameras were able to replicate what it's like in an arena.
LA Kings always suck in the regular season then go into rabid wolverine mode in the playoffs. And, last year was the first Super Bowl the number one seeds from each conference meet.
Everbody wants a tie tomorrow.
16 teams and the Suns still got fucked.
When you draft a QB it's a crap shoot and it may take decades to find that franchise QB. I prefer traditional pocket passers than the red option mold of Kaepernick.
Once you find him, like the Lions did with Stafford in 2009, you build around him. Everything else will fall into place.

Gonna be amusing seeing NFC South champion odds. Saints will probably still somehow be the favorite.
