Heard that on the radio this morning. Sapp was going off on the hosts about how they shouldn't be reading things in the media. The radio hosts were reading his promotional material for his book and Sapp got offended.

I need to listen to this Fatcessa interview.
EA wanted to showcase future Hall of Famer Russell Wilson

So is Jay Cutler going to get sacked a million times or something again this year? I haven't been following the offseason and I'm not a Bears' fan, but I love Cutler since his body language is hilarious.

Holy shit the Fatcessa interview is hilarious since it is in person.
Yeah that was douchey. I'm not a fan. If you give bad news or offer an unpleasant viewpoint, just give it. Then go into the explanation. Otherwise boring episode
Did the NBA thread get locked again or something?

I told you guys. Philbin is the white Raheem Morris.
They want to give you a game with two playoff teams (last year's NFC conference matchup) and two shit teams (Skins/Hawks) so you can get a feel for the highs and lows.

Did Raheem Morris have to get told how to coach by his players too?
Seriously that was the best part of the episode, Philbin getting sat down by the veterans (although Matt Moore getting the "you're a nice guy" routine by the QB coach was pretty good too).

Me 2 please.
It's going to be a long year there. Carolina kinda just casually took them behind the building with the starters in. I loved the fake tension at the end of the game when the entire upper deck was empty

The Howard Stern interview is great too. He seems like a decent guy at times but he's absolutely insane.

Finally finished my recording of Hard Knocks:
- Philbin is Cam all over again. Skolnick said that a week or two ago, and he was right. Philbin is just too timid for the job of being head coach. That said, he has surrounded himself with some strong guys, so they can whip the players into shape, if he can't.
- I would prefer a more direct approach with the players. You made Ryan the starter, so no need to go off rambling about how you like Matt as a person and whatnot. Tell him Ryan's starting and you expect him to be ready to go when his number is called. Matt didn't want to hear the bullshit himself, so no need for it. Everytime he has a sitdown with a player, it sounds like a teacher talking to a preschooler. C'mon son.
- I hope his nitpicking of details doesn't get on the players' nerves, because it's getting on mine. That might just be editing though. The team, frankly, sucks. No one gives a shit how messy the locker room is when we're poised to go 2-15. That's not a typo. We're gonna lose the bye week too, we're so bad.
- Bless HBO for making our receivers look less than trash. I think they might have edited in all the catches they made for the entire week. Scoring on 2nd and 3rd units isn't anything to be proud of. The receivers are the weakest part of this team, and will be the ultimate cause for our downfall.
- I'm glad the players didn't take the Chad firing that well. I'm not surprised Reggie is taking a leadership role, considering he called out the whole team last season. He got criticism for it, but he was ultimately right. Instead of firing the best receiver on our extremely-thin receiving corp, the players should have been given a chance to reign him in. Philbin didn't go to them before, when he had his whole press conference beef in the first episode, so it's just like Reggie and Carlos said, Chad got cut before even getting a third strike. As washed-up as he may be, he was still better than anyone else our starting rookie QB will have to throw to. That's so depressing.
- It might be my imagination, but the right side of the line might be even worse than last season. Wow! I mean...wow! How the fuck is that even possible? Tannehill is starting in a hole already. If he can emerge as a good player given the shitty line and receivers who, couldn't separate from a status, then I'll be amazed. I'm getting ready to Suck for Barkley already.
Friday's game should be fun...in a depressing kind of way. I plan on getting positively hammered. PEACE.

Amazing, I wish you guys would just perma make his avatar him in blackface (it's a real picture, and it exists)
I think they could compete for the division but the 49ers are rightfully the favorites right now. They have better talent on the whole and more continuity than the Seahawks do. I think the 49ers window is closing a bit as they're a tad older. They have a good coach, albeit one without any history of winning championships of any sort.
Pete's personnel's moves have been a mixed bag, but I wouldn't say he's s poor talent evaluator. They hit on guys like Brandon Browner, Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, Mike Williams, Leon Washington, Kam Chancellor etc. And they've missed on guys like Whitehurst, Robert Gallery and LenDale White. Pete's been able to revive the careers of guys like Red Bryant, Marshawn Lynch, Chris Clemons and BMW. There are a lot of moves that I don't think can be fully evaluated yet like Carpenter, Irvin, and Moffitt.
Is Pete perfect? Absolutely not. But the Seahawks roster as it stands now is far better, has more upside and is generally more interesting than the one he inherited a few years ago. Not every coach gets to inherit one of the best rosters in the league that's been sadly mismanaged for a million years and ride an unsustainable turnover margin into the NFC Championship game.

harbs has already done more in the NFL than cheatin' pete has done. not hard to win in college when you're cheating and not getting punished for it. of course eventually pete got caught and that's why he weaseled his way out of college football
and i can see that you want to give the 49ers backhanded compliments and say "oh well yeah i mean i guess they should be the favs... even though... even though they have a turnover margin they can't sustain! i mean so there's that!" you actually believe the seachickens are going to win the division and i think that is adorable.
but they wont

Russell Wilson might be 5'7 but he's bigger than Alex Smith where it really matters.
49ers should just settle for 2nd place.
49ers should just settle for 2nd place.
1. There's no evidence that Pete ever cheated at USC. The NCAA did not sanction USC for on the field cheating or breaking any recruiting rules.
2. I didn't say I thought they would, I said I think they can. There is a difference.
Unlike you I am less prone to hyperbole and more realistic.

Why do you not know the history of the avatars of some of us despite posting since 2008?
I'm sorry I haven't caught up on GAF wiki?
This is when I embarrassingly admit that I like the music from .hack.
If you don't know every poster's avatar history and what Devo and Timedog ate for dinner last night you fail at GAF.
