Mike Sando and Warren Moon discuss why NFL players are better athletes than NBA players, why NBA players couldn't hack it in the NFL

Apples to Oranges. I don't get the point of these arguments. The parameters of success in each sport are completely different. In football, you're divided up by granular positions with completely different skill sets and sometimes mind sets (thinking of a linebacker compared to a receiver compared to an offensive lineman compared to an end). In basketball and soccer, it's a much more fluid game. There are some basic skills that are shared to a much greater degree than in football.

A guy like Eli Manning couldn't play any other position in football. A guy like Glen Johnson has played up top as a winger when necessary even though he's a fullback. Jeff Teague and Al Horford are completely different players, but, when it comes down to it, they dribble, catch, shoot, pass, post-up and rebound.

 

[Milchjon]

So Gronk needs back surgery now? loll

Haha, a great player is injured, never heard anything this funny before...

You're a meanie, Jason Bay!

 

[Futurevoid]

Also rejected a rather nice contract offer when he was healthy:

Ralph Vacchiano ‏@RVacchianoNYDN
Steve Smith once reportedly rejected a five-year, $35M offer with $15M guaranteed from #NYG. Hurt his knee months later. Was never the same.

Garafolo makes a good point on that:

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo 1m

Folks aren't reading today. Let's try CAPS: NYG offer to Steve Smith in 2010 was during uncapped year and therefore NOT FULLY GUARANTEED.

 

[ActStriker]

So Gronk needs back surgery now? loll

This isn't really new news, though.

 

[jakncoke]

This isn't really new news, though.

Its not the same disc that was shaved down in 2009 also if it isnt new news b4 today then i simply bypassed it over all his party pics and arm issues

Examining QB pressure from PFF. Gives a variety of statistics when a QB is pressured from all of the positions on the line. In this news starved offseason, worth a look:

On the question of left tackle:

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that three of the last five Super Bowl winning quarterbacks sit atop this list as the growing perception that an elite left tackle is unnecessary continues to gain momentum. Rodgers, Brees, and Manning not only led their teams to championships, but they’re clearly the best in the league when pressure comes from the “blind side” since 2008. Brees’ reputation for a quick release holds true according to these numbers as left tackle pressure led to a sack only 7.3 percent of the time, well below the league average.

EDIT: Someone posted this on BBI:

DAT route.

 

[eznark]

Too busy tweeting

There is a really good community of intelligent Brewers fans on twitter so yeah, this year I've barely even been in the MLB thread.

As for this thread, I just don't like some of you.

I like everyone but snes and Pats fans.

And people "rich" enough to drive an old Acura

 

[yankeehater]

Nobody likes him, not even other Pats fans. That is no reason to stay away.

Who dat

 

[yankeehater]

Who dat

I will give you a clue:

 

[eznark]

Lol I love lunchbox

Didn't you say those high school kids you were glad to see die we're driving an Acura?

 

[ChanHuk]

Your clue sucks

EDIT: OH THOSE KIDS, I didn't say I was glad, just no fucks given. They're from Irvine California, their PD picks up bums from that city and drops them off in downtown Santa Ana. Fuck Irvine.

Darwin got to them pretty good.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I will give you a clue:

Kave?

 

[yankeehater]

Everyone loves kave, I thought he was talking about lunchbox since he drive a shitty Japanese car.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I didn't know Dutch had American parts to him.

My dad's born and raised in Boston. I have the best of both worlds.

Also, Eznark, I hope you don't hate me! I will think about you when I'm at the Trampled by Turtles concert on Friday!

Edit: Hey Chan, was that the largest image you could find? Maybe you could try and find a bigger one.

 

[jakncoke]

I hope im on this list

 

[ChanHuk]

Your dad is from Boston Dutch? I dislike you even more, no Taco Bell for you.

And I don't hate anyone from Ohio, I just feel sorry for them because you know, they live in Ohio. LOL JAK YOU LIVE IN OHIO!!!

 

[Fantomex]

Just made this. It's my new favorite gif. I'm hoping to use it for E3 when Microsoft talks about the technology upgrade the Cloud will give us. And also when LJ or Future start talking about Cover 2s, Hot Routes or Blitz Schemes I don't understand.

Yeah, you're Pats level of scum with this one. The driver caused 4 other kids to die. I'm sure it's their fault that police have been accused of doing bad things.

 

[jakncoke]

He is drunk he doesnt know what he is typing

Not a single fuck given, I hate kids already, especially teenagers. The kid didn't have his license either I think? Who's fault? The kid's parents for letting their kid drive. Those 4 other kids have to die because of bad parenting.

Hey Chan, you getting that Pokemon game for the 3ds when it comes out? I'll get the opposite of what you get, so we can collect all the pokemans!

 

[ChanHuk]

Hey Chan, you getting that Pokemon game for the 3ds when it comes out? I'll get the opposite of what you get, so we can collect all the pokemans!

You need to get a 3DS first degenerate.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Damn Chan, didn't realize that was the accident you were talking about yesterday. It was front page news on Yahoo this morning.

Also, many fucks given. Dumb people do dumb things, but all kids, even smart ones, make mistakes.

 

[Milchjon]

Hey Chan, you getting that Pokemon game for the 3ds when it comes out? I'll get the opposite of what you get, so we can collect all the pokemans!

But Chan hates kids.

Also, has the buttfumble lost its unifying powers? It was the first thing posted on this page, yet it still got hostile in here.

 

[Fantomex]

You need to get a 3DS first degenerate.

I'll probably get one by the time Pokemans XY comes out.

It got hostile because Old Man Winter aka Bionic said Skyfall sucked. Went downhill from there. Oh and Gronk.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Lol, Steelers got shit on in the Super Bowl by the worst defense in the history of the world. At least you didn't then get shit on by Tim Tebow.

A team on the decline after multiple championships got beat by that year's NFC fluke team.

 

[ChanHuk]

Damn Chan, didn't realize that was the accident you were talking about yesterday. It was front page news on Yahoo this morning.

Eh it was a simple case of those guys trying finger bang the girls by impressing them with poooooooower. Everybody makes mistakes, this got a lot of publicity because of where the crash took place and that they're residents of Irvine.

But Chan hates kids.

Tis true

I'll probably get one by the time Pokemans XY comes out.

It got hostile because Old Man Winter aka Bionic said Skyfall sucked. Went downhill from there. Oh and Gronk.

I have never played a Pokemon game.

Your missing out bro, they're redundant but very addicting.

 

[Milchjon]

Also because 5 fucking teens died.

Jeez, you either need a nicer shtick or a nicer job.

 

[bionic77]

Never played Pokemon and have no desire to.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

It was known for a while Gronk would need back surgery.Probably shouldnt miss any extra time though.

 

[ChanHuk]

Your missing out bro, they're redundant but very addicting.

I will never play a Pokemon game

Also because 5 fucking teens died.

Jeez, you either need a nicer shtick or a nicer job.

How about a German hug?

 

[Tom Penny]

It was known for a while Gronk would need back surgery.Probably shouldnt miss any extra time though.

I'm confident he's getting AIDS soon at this rate.

 

[Milchjon]

I'm confident he's getting AIDS soon at this rate.

That's the point when bionic will finally accept him as the GOAT.

 

[Fantomex]

Never played Pokemon and have no desire to.

Of course you don't.

 

[bionic77]

I'm confident he's getting AIDS soon at this rate.

Soon? lol son that STD ship sailed a long time ago.

 

[ChanHuk]

DJ Hayden released from the hospital.

[Draxal]

Thing I remember about Steve Smith was that he had the reputation as the busiest facebook poster ever; then the great betrayal took place and he barely logged into facebook afterwards.

 

[BlackGhost]

I'll probably get one by the time Pokemans XY comes out.

It got hostile because Old Man Winter aka Bionic said Skyfall sucked. Went downhill from there. Oh and Gronk.

I'll probably get a 3ds by then too if not sooner, haven't played a pokemon game forever.
