Got damn you're actually making a compelling case to be a Pats fan.

If you do this we can't be friends anymore and I am going to spread rumors online that your mother is a whore, which lets face it she must be if her kid turns out bad enough to be a Pats fan.

Raping fat chicks in bathrooms is what the average NFL fan does*, you don't want to know what kind of sick shit Pats fans are into.



* Technically in Wisconsin they do it in the public outhouse and not a modern bathroom, but I thought that was just semantics.

How will you deal with your kids being Pat fans?

I will always love my kids even if they turn out rotten. I won't give up on them and will try to reason with them and show them why what they are doing is wrong. If that doesn't work I will take some parenting lessons from Eznark and try to beat it out of them.

My bold draft prediction

Blackmon drops to the teens and isn't the first receiver taken
Click to expand...

Not going to happen.

Indianapolis (2-14)
Washington - from St. Louis (2-14)
Minnesota (3-13)
Cleveland (4-12)
Tampa Bay (4-12)
St. Louis - from Washington (5-11)
Jacksonville (5-11)
Miami (6-10)
Carolina (6-10)
Buffalo (6-10)
Kansas City (7-9)
Seattle (7-9)

Most of those teams are in desperate need of a #1 receiver of Blackmon's caliber.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A Minnesota Senate committee narrowly approved a public subsidy on Friday to help the Vikings build a new football stadium, reviving the team's struggling effort just hours after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell visited the state Capitol to jumpstart what had been a stalled stadium debate.

The Senate's Local Government and Elections Committee passed the bill on an 8-6 vote after a hearing that stretched nearly four hours. While the stadium bill still faces a long haul in the waning days of Minnesota's legislative session, the committee's vote gave the $975 million stadium proposal new life four days after a companion bill's defeat in a House committee sparked near panic among supporters.

"We're very pleased with the progress and that the bill moved forward," Lester Bagley, the Vikings' vice president for stadium development, said after the Senate committee vote. "It's been an up and down week, touch and go."

The setback in the House had prompted the visit Friday by Goodell. He and Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II met Friday morning with Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders to stress the urgency of resolving the Vikings' decadelong pursuit of a replacement for the Metrodome.

Though the Vikings will play next season in the dome, their lease there has expired. That has raised fears the franchise could get snatched by Los Angeles or another city seeking its own football team -- a prospect Goodell did not exactly squelch.

"They were here basically to say, 'This is it folks,'" Dayton said after the meeting.

A simmering movement to put a franchise in Los Angeles came up in the discussion at the prompting of lawmakers, Dayton said. Sen. Julie Rosen, a Republican sponsoring the stadium bill, said legislative leaders heard that Los Angeles is an option, even if there was no explicit threat from the NFL.

"There is no ultimatum, but we did clearly talk about LA. We did clearly talk about that is an open market," Rosen said. "I do believe there is a feeling in some legislators and even in some folks throughout the state that they would never leave. So it was good to hear from the NFL, and from a very prominent owner, that they do have the right to move or be sold."

Vikings officials, including owners Zygi and Mark Wilf, were not present at the meeting. Afterward, most who were in the room said the need to act is urgent.

"There were no implied threats or any threats at all," Goodell said. "What we talked about is the importance of creating a solution here that works for the team, that works for the community. This isn't a new issue. It's been discussed here for several years. I think the legislative leaders and the governor understand the time is now."

Dayton has pushed for a stadium deal for months, saying the state is at risk of losing the team just as it did the Lakers long ago.

Moving the team is not permissible under league rules this year, but there's always 2013. The Vikings have been contacted before by two separate groups trying to lure a team and build a stadium in Los Angeles but have said, for now, they're not interested in selling.

Under the bill approved by the Senate committee, the Vikings would pay $427 million of the construction costs for the new stadium, which would be built on the Metrodome site in downtown Minneapolis. City and state taxpayers would be on the hook for the other $548 million, or 56 percent of the total cost.

Dayton said the state leaders didn't ask league officials to enhance the private contribution in the financing package. He said the NFL delegation ran through a league loan program that could give the team access to up to $200 million, but it has long been believed franchise owners had figured that money into their calculations.

The closeness of the Senate committee's vote demonstrated concerns still held by a number of lawmakers, with some senators raising opposition to an expansion of gambling that's part of the proposal's funding package. Some also raised the larger issue of providing a public subsidy to benefit a wealthy football team owner.

"I think some of us are just trying to represent the good wishes of many Minnesotans," said Republican Sen. Roger Chamberlain, who voted against the bill.

The Senate bill heads next to another committee of that chamber. Lawmakers are hoping to wrap up their session before the end of April.

I can definitely see Floyd possibly going before Blackmon.

As a browns fan though I'm also curious to see what might happen if the Vikings take Blackmon at 3
Click to expand...

I don't see anyone with a WR need passing over Blackmon for Floyd and certainly not for Hill.

Blackmon may not be AJ Green good, but he's still going to be able to produce right away as some team's No.1 wideout.

Ah yes, Shaun King.
What I remember is him completing a pass to Burt Emanuel and the blind bitch-ass refs calling it incomplete.
The anger, the rage, it never went away.

What's it like seeing a team win a Super Bowl without ch-oh wait.

My memories of King are him always under throwing his receivers. No arm strength = no overthrow. And oh man I think it was '99 where the Bucs were super good but couldn't score any points. That was real painful to watch

Floyd's a bit of a bitch. I watched almost every game of his career, the guy can be the biggest tease. He gets going but all it takes is a drop to get him off his game. Watch the bowl game against Miami, fucking dominated NFL caliber corners, yet he dropped a couple of easy balls that would've given him a huge game.

Not much of an underneath route runner either, doesn't protect the ball well enough, doesn't snap off the short route. That's all Kelly does in his offense, at times Floyd looked like he didn't want any part of it. It looked like Floyd checked out at times. ND had/has QB issues, teams locked in on him, didn't do well against better competition.

Still, he's a better deepball receiver than Blackmon. I like Floyd, think he's a better player than what he's shown to be honest, I'm pretty hard on him, expected more from his career. When he's on it's fun to watch.

We shut down the "greatest show on turf" and STILL couldn't score enough points to win.
All we needed was one FUCKING touchdown.
And WE would have been in the damn Super Bowl.
*rages*

When Floyd was on his sophomore year, he was phenomenal. Overwhelmingly physical against competition.

I'm sure he's Braylon 2.0.

Right, based off his first dozen and half games I expected a lot from him going forward, my judgement is probably clouded because of it. Kelly and his offense may have contributed a bit as well, just didn't look like the same player even though he had better production.

I think it was that game against (I think) Michigan that sticks in everyone's mind. He went prime TO for the last quarter.

For the record, I don't trust Blackmon either. AJ Green and Julio Jones outclass this group of receivers.
