Say what?

Great signing, we need some coverage LBs.

Great signing, we need something to ridicule besides Brady's long hair phase.

FIFY

At less than $700K per year, the Pats got a hell of a deal.

Is that what Tebow is paying the Pats to be listed on their roster? You're right, that IS a good deal.

I have been watching football for 2 weeks now and I have not seen Tebow. Oh, wait.... There he is, in the UNemployment line!!!

Edited, actually it could be called the employment line because you are looking for employment.

Unemployment?

What is it about Tebow that makes your mangina hurt?

Unemployment?

Stupid phone.

What is it about Tebow that makes your mangina hurt?

Because Tebow is a gay homosexual that went to UF. Oh, and he sucks.

Redundant.

So really, and Vertigo is correct, you hate hate him b/c he went to UF.

I hate UF as much as anyone, but don't think he is that bad of a dude. Not an NFL quarterback, maybe a fullback or something. But appears to be a pretty good person.

There's a lot of good people in this world. They don't all get an NFL career handed to them.

I don't believe it was handed to him any more than any other player. He was a Heisman Trophy winner and a pretty decent college QB. He beat my Vols every year. He tried to be an NFL QB and it didn't work out for him. Not much different than Vince Young who is no longer in the league either.

And Ryan Leaf

It is also for this reason that I can't respect college football at all. Sure, it's nice to scout future talent for the draft, and it's an entertaining drunk fest sideshow to see hicks from flyover states cheer for their State U playing some ridiculous triple option offense, but let's not go and mistake it for real football.

Whatever dude

He won a couple college championships a while ago and turned out to be a shitty NFL player. So, yeah, put him in the same boat as Eric Crouch, Ron Dayne, and Troy Smith. I just think it's funny because Tebow fans wanted so badly to prove the haters wrong, and it never panned out, so they play up the "but he's a good, wholesome person" angle. Meanwhile, Ray Lewis literally murdered a dude, and has 2 rings with a sure fire HOF induction around the corner.

Hey now! "Up the middle, up the middle, pass, punt" is the unbeatable strategy that made AFA football the NCAA powerhouse it is today! Don't be a hater!

So "real football" is composed of 50 yard field goals and endzone dances? I'm guessing you went to some fruity liberal arts college in New Hampshire or something. That would explain your douchy, elitist attitude towards the heart of this country, and how you appear know nothing about college football, since there are only 4 teams that currently run the triple option the FBS).

Hey now! "Up the middle, up the middle, pass, punt" is the unbeatable strategy that made AFA football the NCAA powerhouse it is today! Don't be a hater!

They have changed it in recent years. It's now "Option left, option right, draw, punt." Throw in a fumble every few series for good measure and you're golden

I thought it was "option left, option right, up the middle, punt!" But Brecky might be on to something...

Yes, real football is those things. And they actually play defense in the NFL. And quarterbacks aren't dumb jocks that get by on physical prowess and a lack of parity (aka Young and Tebow), they have to actually be smart and intuitive, too. Look, there's no comparison between the two and you know it. And of course barely anybody runs the triple option, everybody knows that, and I was clearly being facetious.

If you want to cheer for your little region of your little state because there's not a pro team within 1000 miles, more power to you. If I'm coming off as elitist, then that's because the NFL is literally, by definition, elite, and college isn't. That makes me neither bitter, nor angry, though. Just telling it how it is.

Am I the only one who sincerely hopes I'll one day be blessed enough to have the opportunity to punch you in the face?

Yeah...that's what it is.

So this is where you begin the mature, spirited debate?

I grew up outside Washington DC and feigned interest in the Skins growing up. Even though most "fans no dick all about football in general and "their" team in specific, it's the popular thing to do. When I went to college I identified with the team, went to classes with the players, got obliterated tailgating, and watched them win a National Championship. Some of the best memories of my entire life revolve around my 4 & 1/2 years there drinking booze, chasing tail, and watching football. I have no such experiences with any professional team.

And by the way, I think you'd really like DC - it's full of self-righteous assholes like you who think being born in proximity to New York or LA increases your worth as a human being.
