  • So that this thread does not get off track.   How about this:    The 5 worst things about NFL football:

    1. Tanking.....we have discussed this.

    2. Commercials, commercials, commercials.    likely #1...and yes...they are needed to pay for the game. That don't mean we have to like them.

    3. The fact that sometimes the refs have no clues what the rules are.....be it from "what is a catch"...to  "What is Pass Interference to  "What is an improper hit" to  QB protection rules etc.

    4. Jerry Jones....and his greed and his need for attention.  Yes...he went into the HOF....simply for the reason that his sole concentration for the league has been on money.

    5. The mere Existence of the Pittsburgh Steelers!!

    6) Ratbirds. Thanks Art and Tagliabue you @#$$%^&. Move those schmucks to the AFC East already.

    7) Broncos

    😎 Goodell and his love affair with Kraft, Jerry Jones, and Stan Kroenke

    9) Moving the Raiders to Las Vegas, and the other stupid relocations under Goodell's watch/tenure

    Speaking of Olympics coverage by nbc.... I wonder what the world thought about America when Jonny Weir..d was on air during the skating events. 

    They thought what everybody knows:  in the world of male figure skating, most to the contestants are gay...be they American or otherwise.  If that is just now news to you or to the world, then someone has had their heads up their asses ever since finger Button repeated twice as Olympic champ in like 1948 and 1952.  It is no suprise to anyone.

    Beyond that:  Johnny Weir was an entertaining commentator.   He was funny and insightful, and witty, and pretty...and gay. 

    Compare to Bode Miller who about put me to sleep whenever he talked.  What Bode was saying was fine....but he just droned.

    I really don't care about gay or not gay. I also don't think an announcers sexual preference should be advertised.

    I do not think that Goodell had all that much say in the moves of teams.   That was all dictated to him by Jones and Kroenke..and he had no power to resist it.

    So? You want them "in the closet".  Again, you must be stuck in 50s.   I mean....it is advertised by the way the talk, dress, etc.  You want them to change?   I think you either need to get over it or deal with it.  Or are you a Mike Pence Devotee who believes in "gay conversion therapy"?

    I thought Terry, Tara and Johnny did a very good job, good personalities. 

    And Bode, exciting crazy dangerous on skis......the cure for insomnia behind the microphone. 😆

    I have worked with and have known many gay men. And each one says the same thing. There is no such thing as trans Gender. It's a mental illness. And the international Olympics committee nor the US Olympics committee recognize " transgender" because there is no such thing. Just the facts Gip.

    I remember the east Germans trying to pass off guys posing as girls in the Olympics.  You just can't change your sex...period.  You can have cosmetic surgery to change appearance, but that's it. If you really don't like your junk....see a shrink.

    WTF are you talking about "Transgender".   You DO know that their is a huge difference between homosexuality and transgenderism?  We were not talking about Transgenderism.  (I bet you go around saying that you have friends that are black). 

    But, since you went there no, those are NOT the facts.  That is just your ignorant troglodyte attitudes and prejudices.  

    And while the Olympic rules may not allow a transgender to perform  (i.e.  allow a former male to compete in female sports...though I am not sure that is true)....that does NOT mean that either that it is a mental illness nor that it is a reality.    Of course no one is claiming that "Poof....where you used to have testicles you now have ovaries"  occurs.  Transgenderism is not purely a matter of biology....it is a matter of social identity.

    The more you spew...the more you show your ignorance.  Yes.....seeing a counselor IS likely necessary.  As I said, it is a matter of personal and social identity...not biology. 

    And FYI....homophobia is also a mental condition for which psychiatric counseling is suggested.  So...consider yourself in the same boat amongst those needing a shrink.

    Actually, it's the guys who constantly overcompensate by trying to convince people how much of a man they are that usually are secretly gay.

    You know, guys who talk about grilling while having their guns strapped to them and who quote Janis Joplin, specifically.

    When did the Patriots move to the AFC North? Most of the Steelers success was in the 70s....I would suggest that half of the patrons on here were not alive in the 70s.  You may even be among that younger group

    And if we are going with our lifetimes  (Mine anyway)   The Packers trump them:  7 titles    and that is even better than the Pats and 49ers and Steelers.
