I can find stories about lions and tigers if you want to do the pitbull thing.
Cats are inherently cruel. Pitbulls are only mean when taught to be mean.
Hmm, dunno. Gifs are the only place where I can accept dogs. Pugs in particular.
Also, via PatsPulpit:
Bill Belichick's winning percentage is .666

Can't help but think that Cam should have kept his mouth shut regarding anything Hochuli may have said.
He's probably never getting star calls now.

As somebody who has owned cats and dogs, I gotta give dogs the upper hand.
Parkey was bad this year, so a new kicker isn't too big a deal. And Gardner hasn't been too hot either, but OL depth wasn't good to begin with.
Sports science stuff isn't doing well right now. Murray has the hamstring issue and there is something wrong with Jason Peters, even if he isn't on the injury report. He is fine in pass protection, but when he has to move in the run game, he struggles.
I have little confidence the run game will ever reach the heights of a couple of years ago. Mathis/Kelce/Peters all just got old and declined, and Chip never planned for that. Pass protection has been great, though. Which makes Bradford's struggles so much worse
This is the last week Chip should stay with Bradford. There were 3 plays where a good throw gets them a 20+ yard play. Drops are an issue, but the accuracy is just bad. They'll just have to live with Sanchez's INTs

Man, we really should've won the Raiders game, cause we're definitely going 0-9 in the upcoming stretch. Unreal, what a brutal schedule we got now.

Jets could win 40-0 and it wouldn't really bother me much. There is something oddly comforting about this return to accepted incompetence. I think I operate better as a bitter cynic than a hopeful optimist.

It's okay friend. Maybe next year!
Also, how are you liking Fifa 16 so far? Wanted to ask you.

Haven't played a ton, mostly just some seasons matches. It feels different for sure but overall I'm liking the changes. Pace is much less important than last year and lobbed through balls got nerfed hard so you can't rely on them as a way to generate shots much at all. The game seems to be much more about patient passing and attacking the middle of the field with quick short passes and through balls which I enjoy and am getting better at.
I also feel like it's more difficult to quickly turn with a player while possessing the ball which makes it more difficult to do a lot with one player. You have to rely on passing more now, at least until you get into the opponent's box where you can start using subtle movements to try and avoid tackles and get a shot.
It's still possible to make nice weaving runs with attackers but it's less about speed and more about small movements with the left stick to change direction and avoid tackles. That part feels pretty good.
The goalie AI seems better as well.
Overall I'm feeling pretty positive on it, I just wish I could turn on a filter that eliminates Barcelona and Real Madrid from matchmaking. I've played against one of those two 90% of the time.
Rodgers has the athleticism of John Elway, the intelligence of Payton Manning and the arm strength of Dan Marino. He is a God and he is a blast to watch play the position. We can keep pretending he isn't the best to ever play based on team-based outcomes, but individually no one has ever played the position better.
The only argument that exists otherwise is that we don't really know how good guys like Bobby Lane and YA Tittle were, and it's hard to guess how good Johnny U would be. But like in all sports, there is seemingly universal agreement about the top two or three of all time (Brady, Manning, Montana) and Rodgers is a better quarterback than all of them...and it's not particularly close.
I almost think it's easier to appreciate him because the team as a whole hasn't had wild, dynastic success. There is no real Packer fatigue like there is Laker and Patriot and Heat fatigue so we can appreciate how great Rodgers is without the burden of saying how great the Packers are (for non-Packer fans).
What if I told you Eznark constantly benches Rodgers in Madden and is 0-5 with him?
To be fair, I bench him every year and have won plenty in the past! Don't know why you guys are so put off by it this year!
Look, we all despise Fraudgers the person. Godgers the player though is something else!
He is the Roman Polanski of sports.

Agreed. Rodgers is already the GOAT in my mind. Hopefully he'll get title #2 this season.

Fire Lombardi. Trade Stafford.
That is all.
That is all.
definitely agree that the lack of fatigue helps. he's fun to watch too. like Favre in his prime. Like he's just having fun out there. also his majestical dig at Russell Wilson opened a whole new door of respect.
FTFY
Yep, watching him is like watching prime Favre only way better.

All this packer praise
Packers got beat by the Giants on both of their 4 year super bowl runs
Last time the packers were 15-1 , and at home too
More blame should be placed on them because they were at home , pats were at a neutral site
Believe in Eli

God help us all.
This is a perfect post.
To criticize him as a player he doesn't throw nearly enough INTs to be in the GOAT discussion though. He is no Eli Manning and he probably never will be either.

I wonder if the Dolphins defense has been playing and drafting opposing QB's?

I don't even live in the USA and I'm already so sick of all those Fanduel/DK commercials. My condolences, 'Muricans.
DraftKings has more sports, FanDuel has a better interface.
I will always miss you DraftStreet

DraftKings' interface is so garbage that I don't know what they're doing with all the software engineers they're hiring. The interface on their mobile app is pretty bad too.
