The NFL Thread

[Machado]

I also agree with Machado.

Waiting for a strong counter-argument from Truther...

"But Goodell! And also Goodell!"

Levi, all bullshit aside, the players were cheered for growing up are suddenly going to feel like Kramer and these stories are going to only get worse and worse.
You probably have seen McMahon. His life is going down as we speak. Other guys on his team and that was just the tip of the iceberg.

I have no idea what can be done and I certainly have no idea if there is even enough money to go around to care for these players that are in desperate need of medical attention.

[Gritt]

I think the two most obvious big names to keep an eye on in the few years are Aikman and Steve Young. Both of those guys got knocked senseless more times than I can remember.

Young retired after that vicious hit he took in AZ. Aikman, to be honest I can't remember if he walked off the field in his final game or not.
Yes, those 2 took many hits and suffered many concussions. To date they seem find. Both work on TV. High profile jobs.

[Gritt]

Their high profile TV gigs are why I think they're going to be the most interesting. If they start to decline it will be very public and yet another black eye for the NFL in this whole concussion mess.

Aikman's last game was against the Skins. He got crushed by LaVar Arrington and got his 10th or 11th concussion. I would guess that is a low number because those were just documented concussions.

[Crazy Levi]

I have no idea what can be done and I certainly have no idea if there is even enough money to go around to care for these players that are in desperate need of medical attention.

What can be done is exactly what is being done - introduce measures to protect players. Reduce hits. Change rules to protect players. Get them off the field if they've had a concussion and keep them off the field if they are recovering.

there's only so much you can do, but these things are a step in the right direction.

But you have morons like Fat Truther who keep moaning "Goodell!! They are ruining the game with pussy vagina tampon!!!" and I have no idea why.

Fat Truther - why do you insist that the game remain as it was in 1972, and that all players end up suicidal vegtables who are confined to a wheelchair? Why does THIS define the NFL for you? Players like Jim McMahon ROUTINELY went back into games after "shaking off" concussions. And yet you feel the game is now compromised because that's been changed? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Utah Ratt, feel free to address the same question.

Goodell!!

[UtahRatt]

Former NFL QB Erik Kramer survived a suicide attempt. Ex-Wife says it must be CTE that has had him depressed for 10 years and a "different man than the one I married."

Neversurrender and UtahRatt declare him a total pussy.

You honestly should shut the fuck because you don't know the first fucking thing about the game and CTE. No one has a grasp on CTE.
They could cut his skull and slice his brain today and all they could do is maybe show a build up of "tau" and that's where it ends. For starters they haven't compared findings from people who suffer from the EXACT SAME cognitive, emotional and physical symptoms in other walks of life. CTE is the fibromyalgia of the brain, after a century doctors still know little about, it's in an infant stage while couch jockey's like you toss around the label like it's definitive cancer. It's the global warming scare and you're a halfwit Al Gore.

You know how many people commit suicide these days? I guess most of our fallen Sludge members had CTE.
I take care of grandmother. 3 of her 5 kids have committed suicide. I had a friend who was married with a 20 year old son. Within 3 years, the husband committed suicide, then she did then the son did....That family vanished faster then RGIII....All with the same similar symptoms but if they played football some clueless dick fuck like you would scream CTE!
I can't count how many friends and family that's went down from suicide who suffered from symptoms you would get with brain trauma that never had brain injury.

Fact is. I suffer from this shit and currently pondering over the paperwork process of having my skull put into the slicer. Along with other sports. After high school and college drop out I main lined on playing tri-state and national leagues into my late 30's traveling around in league play to pick up and warm up games vs college teams too get beat on. I've been on the same field with someone who's won a Super Bowl, up against CFL flunkies and NFL practice squad drop offs to your average college and high school players. At the same time...
I've been diagnose with everything from multiple concussions, repetitive trauma to whatever tag they're going with next. Had every MRI, CT, blood test and scan over the last 8 years but I've never complained let alone said CTE because that's a clueless label fucks like you toss around.

So while you sit there, someone who's never taken a fucking hit let alone isn't even dealing with the same issues. Stick to your Pinball machines and cheese burgers before you drag me into something you've never touched. And fuck off with you played bullshit. PROVE IT! After 10 years on the boards I never mentioned a word till lately. Mostly because it's not a big deal, I wasn't anything special. But when a chump like you call's me out over something I not only played most of my life I actually suffer from daily while you talk out of your ass tossing around labels.....Go fuck yourself. They're not the pussies, you're the pussy.


I dug Kramer, rooted for him. If you knew anyfuckingthing you'd know there's more that goes on when a player quits.

[UtahRatt]

Utah Ratt, feel free to address the same question.

Any time cunt. Let me know when synchronized swimming is too tough for you to watch. Fucking marshmallow. You probably watch Hard Knocks and feel like it's clips from Iraq.

Prove it? Prove to you I played HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL? Are you fucking serious?

I'll tell you what...if I PROVE to you that I played high school football...just like probably half the people here...will you stop fucking whining about how "pussified" the game is now?

I love a self-righteous word salad as much as the next guy, but just what is your fucking point? YOU are the one who can't stand what the "game is turning into man" now that players aren't allowed to go back in the game if they have brain leaking out of their ear holes. You are one who thinks todays players are pussies, not me. So you go fuck yourself. You sent in a post card to try out for the XFL?

Well holy fucking shit...we got ourselves a regular Dick Butkus here. And I'll even take your word for it that you once actually played football without demanding proof.

FUck off, I'm not the one who makes a big deal about my old playing days war stories, you are. Guys like kramer, Seau, Andre Waters...it's a fucking epidemic. And I sympathize with them.

You do too? Great...that's news to me. All I hear out of you and fat truther is how pussy vagina tampon the game is, I had no idea you acknowledge there's actually a problem. Nice to hear.

[Crazy Levi]

Uh...so the NFL is too soft. Got it. Thanks for proving my point you sanctimonious cocksucker.

The only point is on your melon fucking head.
Apart from being a panic happy full of shit bunny rabbit you're stuck on a misconstrued point I was attacking two years ago.
You couldn't understand my stance let alone anything about the topic of CTE and it's effects so, sheep, go back to drinking from a straw and shutting the fuck up.

Player Hugger is a new term for people like you. You're the PETA of the NFL who scream from trees and probably likes the feel and taste of salted nuts in your mouth. And no, you're soft, in the fucking head.

[Crazy Levi]

Ratt, I refuse to acknowledge any more of your buffoonery on this subject until you PROVE to me that you played high school football, semi-pro ball, or community college (isn't that a complete list of the war stories you are constantly reveling in around here?)

I'll need a) old newspaper clippings, b) testimony from former coaches, and c) a DNA-tested jockstrap from your youth. To make things sure, I want to see your return-to-sender application for a tryout from the XFL - the last pure, honest, manly attempt at American football!

PROVE IT!

[bigbuttskinner]

Not 100% official yet but tons of reports say Jordy Nelson has a torn ACL. I hate this. He's a really good player. Tough one.

[demolition23]

Not just a good player - also the first receiver drafted to my main fantasy team, all of 24 hrs before this injury.

[Machado]

Huge blow to the Packers offense. Not sure if this injury should ignite the argument regarding whether or not the exhibition season is unnecessary in the NFL. He could have just as easily been injured during a team practice.

Constant war stories? You dragged me into this you fucking punk. After a decade of being asked "Well what did you ever do!" I finally crack open the door and a twat like you brings up "constantly"? Either put a sock in it or stop asking.

You said you played so I'll be expecting your BULL SHIT. Other then you proved you don't no a fucking thing about CTE and.....You played but it's too violent to watch? Fucking Please.
If you did you'd know half those hits you feel great with pads. The ones that hurt are the slow mo plays that show Neck Stingers and Ankle breakers.

You'd also know.....When you leave the game you're completely lost and it's not just from banging helmets. You wont understand that either.

Leagues and teams across the country change, fold, merge, join and grow every year. This is the first link I pulled up with one of the leagues I played.
http://www.gnfafootball.org/rockymtnleague.htm

Just a grain of salt in league play. Thousands of these teams play in their own leagues, played each other, played in other leagues, other Multi-State and National Leagues. Some jump into Indoor or Flag leagues in the off seasons or by-weeks. Owners and directors connect with teams all over the country and play meet me half way games, it's a spaghetti bowl of leagues across the country that I could spend 5 pages trying to explain and still not get through your head. Keeping track of this ever changing world is impossible. These teams are also used for warm ups vs college teams to beat down on. Pretty simple. Google yourfucking self from there on.




This is the only pic I have on my PC, if you want a pissing contest I'll play your game, dig through boxes, take pic's and waste my time. But your next.





Don't mind the duck, it was to prove I didn't toss it in the pond. The Helmet between the duck and my Union Pacific RR Books is more to the point.
This was my last helmet, see how sparkling new it looks. I bought a new set going into the season on a new team....
Before preseason in a pick up game vs "Boise" I cracked two ribs but finished the game as 2nd string. Came back three weeks later vs " Montana" and got KOed during the opening Kick Return "3rd Line 5,3,2". Full speed face mask to face mask. I don't remember much after that.
Over the next 3-4 years I played pick up games when I'd get a call.

So there's a pic of my helmet next to my RR books, this will turn into a never ending game of stupid but..........You're next PIG.

I mean HOG.

I have a plan.....I don't own a pool table and apart from Dallas losing to the Chargers and the Niners there's not much to report. 0-2 BITCHES!

I was dragged into this shit out of the blue, was asked repeatedly to respond and have the disclaimer of saying "this is going to be stupid." But I figure I don't have much longer so I might as well give it a shot.

Now it's Levi's turn, the chance to see him in compression pants will be worth it's weight in girls at a poison concert.

[Crazy Levi]

Ratt...I wasn't really serious about that but hey thanks for posting all that fabulous shit. I didn't think you didn't actually play football, I just think it's ridiculous as shit that you demanded proof that I did - I thought the tone of my post made that clear but I guess not. You started the whole "I don't believe you played high school football!!!!" thing, remember? I think you really do have CTE as you can't seem to remember shit or even keep proper tabs on the twists and turns of a goddamn Sludge thread.

Still, it's fucking funny that after ALL that bullshit sailing over your head, your "evidence" that I'm supposed to one-up is a picture of a football helmet and a goddamn stuffed bird wearing a Lyle Alzado-at-the-end doo-rag, along with a link for some semi-pro league you played in? You are demanding a photo of me in "compression pants" in return? Jesus fucking Christ.

OK. Here's incontrivertable evidence that I once played for the Washington Redskins:





In case you STILL don't believe me, still, here's evidence that the Washington Redskins exist:

Are we all square now?

[UtahRatt]

Next time I visit my folks, I'll take a picture of a fucking picture of a picture of me in "compression pants" and they are all yours. Jesus fucking Christ. That's gotta be at least as good as a picture of a football helmet and a goddamn stuffed bird wearing a Lyle Alzado-at-the-end doo-rag, right?

I knew you'd pull the parents house line, Greg Focker. I picture that shrine is still above your plastic mattress just like ya left it. Asking for the DNA from my nuts cup crossed the line but for a picture of your Fat Albert Haynesworth ham's in spandex would be worth it so get M&D on the line pronto.
Don't fuck with the Duck, the chick that bedazzled him is better then the 83 Skins.

[UtahRatt]

Is that Jeff George's bucket?

[UtahRatt]

I see you edited your post, no I don't have any connections in the NFL but I do have a friend that was picked up by Winnipeg, maybe I can get you a line to Michael Sam?

There is still so much time before the reg season begins. 2 more exhibition games to be played. LAME!

Difficult to get excited about the NFL when the 1st team offense plays about 3 snaps and nothing more.

[Crazy Levi]

Holy fuck Football is almost here again.


Fuck ya.

I feel ya bro!

It's the only sport I really like. I enjoy it immensely, even though my team is a perennial embarrassment.

I can only imagine how much I'd love it if they were always good!

Levi
Your excitement should be sky high. Didn't you hear the news, "you have the best quarterback in the NFL". Which virtually guarantees your team is going to walk away with all the accolades and the big trophy at the end of the season

[eddie lee roth]

Have you forgotten what Tony Ohno promised for the upcoming season?

[Gritt]

Had my fantasy draft tonight. Going to be a juggernaut or a bust. Won't be an in between.

I will ignore the other response to my post because he or she just doesn't get it. I was excited for football back in March.

Both of our teams are average at best Levi, but, holy fuck we at least get to watch our teams beat the shit outta each other twice, or possibly 3 times this season and talk shit on here to each other. lol..

That works man...
