that's fair, just showing a history of the type of character this franchise has. Along with the winning, there's alot of bs. Karma

It's just interesting how the media "crucifies" Tim Tebow for his faith, even when he just wears a scripture on his eyeblack and doesn't even vocally share his beliefs, and everyone hates him for it...but Ray Lewis gets cameras in his face 24/7 to egg him on for his next over-the-top sermon.

Tebow is legitimately a good person and role model. Ray Lewis was involved in a murder and has impregnated multiple women...and somehow he's the darling of the media?

I bet if RGIII wasn't as successful on the field as he has been, he'd be taking a lot of criticism for his opens displays of faith too. People would give him the same treatment as Tebow just because his mere presence as a Christian athlete would "offend" them.

It was cheating to the highest degree. They play a finesse style.

Im tired of the Pats and their whole organization and attitude. They act like a bunch of whiny pussies which mirrors their style of play.

Say what you want of Ray Ray, he's not a little whiny pussy like the Pats and their players.

Exactly! Thank you. I agree with EVERYTHING in this post.

I can't really say I've seen the media (let's just assume everyone in the media is of the same opinion about everything) giving Tebow a hard time because of his religion. They bash him for his inability to be a full time starting QB

Alot of these athletes that are being referred to as "bad citizens" were also not born with a half a chance. I can only imagine how hard it must be for a kid to grow up in the type of household that alot of them did, having to fend off the path of gang relations and drug habits that so many of their friends take. Instead they use their talent and time to rise above the rest and make a very nice living for themselves and their families. I think as fans we take for granted the situations that many (not all) but many come from.

Yes they look like whiney bitches when they lose but the taping of the signals thing is just so tired and old.

They are a great team - love it or hate it. Imagine if the Skins were them - superbowls, spygate, and all. Something tells me none of us would be saying boo about it. It would just be a case where the rest of the league and their fans were sour grapes. Which is the case here. I read so much about how the Giants suck, their fans have big heads. Ray Lewis is a murderer (especially when he wins - lol), the Pats are cry babies and cheaters. Seems like all the champions are tainted. Lol. Next year I hope we win it all, and if Griff is 100 percent i think there is a fantastic chance of that happening. Thats all i really care about. Lets not be sourgrapes until than - it will only detract from the sweetness of our own success. Httr.

No doubt. What are the best five run franchises in pro football in your estimation?

Edit: Doesn't have to be in a particular order because who could say, but generally which five are best run today?

punch it in · 01-22-2013, 02:20 PM

^^^ whichever five win the most. Lol. Thats tough because some just dont have a fan base which allows them to compete.
Edit: Jacksonviille for example will never generate the revenue that say the Steelers do. It dont matter who is running what imo - they just arent on a level playing field.

Oh if that was the case people around here would be like..."the cheating didn't help us win one bit!" lol.

People dont hate the patriots because theyve won so much. They hate them because their head coach is an arrogant douche.

And Ray Lewis is a murderer, or at minimum, an accessory after the fact. Its always bothered me he just moved on from that situation and no one ever brings it up. If the fact that the white suit he was wearing that night went "missing" and could not be provided to authorities doesnt raise your suspsicions, then the fact that the paid settlements to the victim's families should. He was somehow involved in two murders. Why no one seems to care about it is beyond me.

Tough to say. Clearly the best organizations are usually the ones that win. Do they win because they're run so well or are they run so well because they win?

And I'm talking about organizations that people take pride in working for, not just collecting a paycheck. Also, organizations that treat people in my profession with respect.

I think people don't care because Ray Lewis comes across as a good guy. If he was a Suh type people would never stop talking about that ish.

I feel like people think it's a, "good guy, right place, wrong time", kind of situation.

Giantone · 01-22-2013, 04:51 PM

People need to seperate a players "personal life" from his play on the field.I don't like Ray Lewis for alot of what has already been talked about but his play on the field during his career has been spectacular.
Tom Brady ,maybe he is an ass,I don't know him but their isn't a soul out there that would'nt want to be him
Bill Belichick,like him don't like him,is one of the top coachs in NFL history,maybe even the best and has the rings to prove it.

punch it in · 01-22-2013, 06:34 PM

I wasnt there BHA. I dont know. Could have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Could have panicked when it went down and dished the suit because it had blood on it because he was trying to defuse the situation? I dont know? I know he waa found to be innocent and ill have to believe it was because someone knew the facts better than me or you or people who are rubbed the wrong way by his sermons or speeches or sack dances.
Some people think Shanny is an arrogant prick too btw. Im nobodys judge or jury and if you win championships you deserve credit. Im not interested on how much fun BB would be to hang out with because i dont even know him. Lol.

Did someone say a Dallas Cowboy was arrested today for DWI?

Why yes, yes I did.

Smooth move, Mr. Ratliff
