"WELCOME TO...THE XOT!"

Another of our patented innovations will be mandatory web cams during games so we can see posters live reactions when their teams lose (warning: Footage will be turned over to police if domestic violence occurs....not singling out any fan base in particular.....)

I'm out
 
Yeah I don't want to see whatever FMT puts on a video chat. His meltdowns this year as the 49ers flop will be disturbing

NORAD should come up with some Peyton tracker as he flies across the country, so everyone know where he is. Does he live in Miami? It's kind of weird how little is known about him relative to Brady. Something for him to think about when he chooses his team. He got left alone as far as his personal privacy went when with the Colts. He wouldn't get that in Miami
 
I'm writing a visual basic gui to triangulate you and Madtowns_ computer's ip addresses. Results will be sent to Opiate.
Visual Basic.. That's too bad.

I must have missed some sort of iPad talk but the make-our-own-NFL-forum-idea is an interesting idea at least. I don't think it'll be necessary unless someone starts mass-banning people here. And it'd be way too hard.
 
i was out tonight and met a dude who says he was on the 49ers 1988 superbowl team. says he was a backup guard and had the superbowl ring! i can't remember his name though and i looked up the 1988 roster but none of the names ring a bell. he says he also played for the lions in his career.

anyways, thought that was cool!

Ricky Siglar played ball with my brother and has a SB XXIV ring. It's crazy big.

Did you offer him a handy?
 
Last year was the first time I've ever missed an entire NFL season. Can't believe how much I missed out on. A part of me still can't believe Cam is a starter... let alone the #1 overall pick.

I've only been able to dig up for 4 or 5 games, but its safe to assume that all of our picks should go straight to defense right? Maybe we can sign Peyton and put him at safety...
NBA GAF is great once you get into it. They're pretty hard on new guys, but as long as you don't pull a jdez and lose your everlasting mind when people tease you, you'll be fine.
You were the chosen one! .... :(

Did he slip his finger through the glory hole to show you the ring or did you just take him at his word?
 
I've been trying to get a grasp of what happened to stir up all this "thread change" talk. Does it boil down to some kid wandering into a sports thread and not feeling welcome, crying to a mod about it and now we are all in trouble?

that's a very insular attitude you're displaying there.

probably
 
The thing I don't get about the "insular" comment is that the whole point of being a sports fan is hitching your wagon to team that you really have no legitimate connection with, and then acting like your team's rivals are your rivals. Lifelongs are supposed to come into the thread throwing haymakers at their rivals, and they're supposed to get shouted down by those same people. That's the game.

What's the alternative? Are we supposed to be impartial and objective robot observers of NFL broadcasts?

Port begging has been banned forever and all you assholes are crying about Manning needing to come to your platform and now we're all boned.
 
ESPN said:
After at least 12 teams contacted Peyton Manning when he became a free agent, the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback has narrowed down his options.

The Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals, the first two teams Manning visited with, are considered the two likeliest landing spots at this point, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The Seattle Seahawks continue to try to arrange a meeting with Manning, according to sources, but so far it has been unable to do.

Manning still could wind up meeting with the Miami Dolphins, but indications are that the Miami isn't as high on this list at this time as Denver and Arizona. There always is the possibility another team suddenly jumps into the fray, but it is looking increasingly likely that there are only a few viable possibilities at this time.

One source who spoke with Manning prior to his visit with the Cardinals said "his gut is that Manning is leaning toward Denver."

Tebow to the Jags would be fantastic.

I had to write some vb code not too long ago. It's not that bad, the main problem that I had was adding semi-colons to the end of statements out of habit.

The vb joke is based off of this:

Are the deer worth fearing anymore or are they the one team that will miss the NBA playoffs?

They beat the Knicks a couple nights ago. That's all I'm gonna say about that.


(Mil is currently a couple games back of the 8th seed, currently occupied by the knicks)
 
Speaking of basketball...

- Good loss yesterday Badgers, touché.
- You too Wolverines. That was a very impressive beating that you took.
- Greg, you're my enemy again today.
- Ohio State needs to... go... die.
 
There is nothing more meaningless and stupid than a conference tournament. If I had my way, the Badgers would just forfeit and rest for the week.
 
Yes it would.
especially for the rest of the AFC South

You jinxed it. Tebow will now control that division year after year. He will now throw for more yards and TDs than Schaub (with a sub 50 completion %), and out rush Foster. You are screwed.
 
I cannot stand Peyton Manning. He makes Tom Brady look tolerable by comparison. He may be the most arrogant athlete I have ever witnessed.

Edit: also, I have been posting here off and on for years. I'm hardly new blood.
 
If Slo can make his wife wear a purple Favre jersey when he climbs on top of her, surely you can learn to love Manning.

Unless you're not really a Broncos fan.

i agree that he's sort of a dick, but he is also literally the best, so yeah.

Its ok, not Wisconsin's fault. Not alot you can do with a team full of white players, though!

Now its time to snag a #1 seed

I think it's funny if a mediocre team wins one on a top conference it'll automatically shoot them up 3-4 seed spots even if they were mediocre for a season and found a way to win their conference tournament

Let's have a sit down

I disagree wholeheartedly. My perceptions maybe off, but he seems pretty down to earth. Hell I mean the guy WANTED to finish his career in Indy, displaying his loyalty to the team and fans. He should have been Indy's Elway in that they should have devoted everything to letting him finish on top. They just got really lucky in that they landed a huge prospect, and decided to move on. I might be biased because I want them to land a legendary QB, but even if we don't I don't think he is arrogant by any means.

Manning/Fitzgerald 2012!

Plus I love Elway his forced happiness when Tebow pulls another win out of his ass.

No to the first part.

I thought he looked happy at the time, I guess not though...

I hope everyone realizes that if we move to Community, the record for consecutive Packers GAF posts is going to be broken... fast.

Seriously though, it'd be a shame if they kill the best part of NeoGAF by neutering it. The times they are a changin. I don't want to be part of a world in where FMT can't express his desire to have an aging celebrity defecate on his face.
