Football

[toribenj]

I think it's boring.
I don't get it at all.
I was talking to people today and they started talking about sports and I was like AHHHHHHHHHH WHY?! and then to make it worse they switched from baseball (which I kinda understand and oftentimes know what's going on with the sport) to football (which I know nothing about)
So it sucked.

Anyways, yeah.
Football.

[Kitty Man]

You disappoint me. lol

[toribenj]

HEY
I tried.

Plus, sports aren't my thing.
Except winter olympics type things are pretty cool, I snowboard so THAT I get. I just love snow so much actually, any event is awesome as long as it involves snow/ice. (So hockey is bomb, then with added fights? hell ya)

hahaha nicee
I'm not intense about it though.
I remember I was staying up in Tahoe on a snowboarding trip during the last winter olympics, and I watched parts of it in the cabin.
Good shit!!

[Tate]

My whole damn family loves the Cowboys. But ive been a Panther fan since day 1.

[Death]

I find football pretty stupid.

It's just a cheap knock off of Rugby, which is better IMO.

[Dustin Triplett]

The Rams own.

[Tate]

The Rams own.

They rammed the cowboys hard.....and deep =]

[toribenj]

Cheap knockoff that's harder to play both in both skill and physicality? Sure. I'll buy that.

[Tate]

yea what morte said

[William Hildebrand]

GIANTS yea

NFC East, the hardest division in all of NFL.

[Dustin Triplett]

I miss being a linebacker. :|

What irony! They have each other this Saturday morning on CBS! Go Titans for that game.

[Hyper Dude]

Err and that what Piss me off, i can't Choose

[EZE]

My friends and I created this game called "gay football' If you fumble the ball, you have to be the one that cleans up the backyard afterwards.

[William Hildebrand]

LOL'D!

[Dillon]

Isn't all football gay?

[Morte]

Isn't all football gay?

Don't you want to rethink that statement?

[EZE]

Then if you was gay we would call them straight football so it wouldn't take any offense of the name.

[Dillon]

All football is gay.

That is my final answer.

[Morte]

All football is gay.

That is my final answer.

Never played have you? It's okay. Non-athletic types always resort to stupid insults to demean what they themselves could not accomplish.

[Dillon]

No, I could play, I just don't like it. I think all of the rules are stupid and just slow down something that could actually be enjoyable.


Baseball is better.
Futbol is better.

[William Hildebrand]

Never played have you? It's okay. Non-athletic types always resort to stupid insults to demean what they themselves could not accomplish.

I agree 100%

[X-life]

Rugby and Australian rules Football are better, but football is definitely not gay. Full of overpaid idiots yes. Gay, not so much.

[Morte]

No, I could play, I just don't like it. I think all of the rules are stupid and just slow down something that could actually be enjoyable.


Baseball is better.
Futbol is better.

Okay, you've lost speaking privileges. Saying football is too slow then saying you like baseball is retarded.

Baseball is a four hour game that has an actual ball in play for only 20 minutes. 20 minutes of live action over the course of four hours. That's not slow at all.

And only tools call soccer "futbol."

[William Hildebrand]

Baseball is a four hour game that has an actual ball in play for only 20 minutes.

Huh? Baseball has a time limit? Sense when?

[Morte]

I didn't say it had a time limit. I said it lasts 4 hours.

[William Hildebrand]

I didn't say it had a time limit. I said it lasts 4 hours.

On average yes, but it all depends on the teams play itself.

[EZE]

I like volleyball.

[frank0127]

On average yes, but it all depends on the teams play itself.

yeah. the longest i've seen is about 5 hours for one game, but that was extra innings. normal 9-inning games last about 3-3.5 hours.

[Morte]

bump

[William Hildebrand]

Titans are fucking stupid. The "Statue of liberty" punter play they did of that touchdown, Fisher should of saved that play and used it in regular season instead of now of pre-season... But that's just me.

Anyways, MINER SEASON IS HERE! UTEP Miners @ Texas Longhorns on the 29th! Should be fun (even though we're gonna get murdered like last year LOL!).

[EZE]

Have I ever told you that my uncle trashed some Bengal player's viper at a gas station. It happen years ago. My uncle didn't even get charged for it.

[Morte]

They should have saved a play that will never be run in a real game, since it wouldn't work under any circumstances, save for the first special teams play in the first game of the season with half the field covered in rookies? I don't think you understand the way football works. Trick special teams plays almost never work, and they're only attempted when they're unnecessary. If you need a first down, you go for it on fourth. You don't run a play like that, ever. The only stupid thing about that was the fact that their rookie punter could have been injured. But even then, Craig Hentrich is a much better punter, this is the only chance he'll have to play this season.

Tell that to Tony Kornheiser, Mike Wilbon and Chris 'Boomer' Berman and they will laugh their ass off at you. From what I said is exactly what they said and they know football as well as do I, played it and cheered for it. The point still stands, Special Teams plays do work. I can name countless times were they have been successful as a 4th down play, no trick. The one used in the Titans game was just for fun by Jeff Fisher (they tried that play numerous times in practice source: Rachel Nichols report, of course its going to work against a useless team like the Bills).

[Morte]

Kornheiser and Berman are both fucktards, and if you simply regurgitate what they say, you're an even bigger fucktard. But of course they thought it was good, it was a fucking preseason game. If he had tried it in a real game, they would have talked for two weeks about how stupid it was, especially if they had not gotten the first.

Don't fucking talk to me about football, cheerleader. You don't know anything about football.

I probably know more about football, NFL history, players, stats, statistics and probably been to more NCAAF and NFL games than you have. Also went to Super Bowl 38 in Houston, great game and amazing experience & fun I might add. BUT HEY! Whatever you say man... Saying greats like Chris Berman a fucktard is a laughing stock of every football analyst AND pro football players there is today, laughing at you. He has the greatest respect from every football player today and you call him a fucktard. Amazing. And also, if you even watched the interview with Coach Tony Dungy about the Titans play, he also said they should of saved it for a regular season game. But like I said before, whatever you say man. Live in your mind thinking you know everything of football and which I know 100% you do. You are a true fan to UAB and I believe you played in the sport. Good for you, so did I, its a sport I also love. I find it amazing that you insult and proclaim that I don't know anything about football in just simple 2 posts I made... AMAZING! I want your power even though it sucks. But hey, in your mind you think that, I can respect that, no disrespect (and never did or am) from me there. Your word doesn't affect me at all. Period. Thank you for this wonderful (and another) argument between us. I know for sure you are going to reply to this post and probably insult me back, by all means go ahead if you feel in your consciousness mind to let it go of the guilt pleasure. Anyways, thank you.

EPIC. PWNAGE.

[Morte]

Okay, I'm sorry, but I have to bring this up.

UTEP v. UAB in El Paso.

Photo of the game:

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h234/nsalyers66/joewebb.png

Why this picture? Well, it's because Joe Webb did this all game.

172 yards and 1 Touchdown Rushing.
127 yards and 2 Touchdowns Passing.
14 yards and 1 Touchdown Receiving.

That's right, our quarterback threw, rushed, and caught a touchdown, all in the same game.

[Morte]

Oh, and he's fourteen rushing yards away from breaking 1000 yards on the season and less than 100 from his personal best. Which is also a conference rushing record for quarterbacks that he set last year, becoming the first CUSA QB to pass for 2000 and rush for 1000 yards in the same season.

[Dillon]

It doesn't look like anyone was there.

[Morte]

Announced crowd of 21k. There was a decent little actual crowd. Pretty poor fanbase though, they were actually booing their own team.

[Morte]

http://media.al.com/offthevine/photo/joe-webb-1107jpg-0352eca108df1ba8_large.jpg

Same story, different week. 440+ total yards and six touchdowns by Joe.

[Morte]

http://media.al.com/offthevine/photo/joeshoesjpg-a83764d538523fa9_large.jpg

Joe didn't even need his cleats. 460+ yards, three touchdowns, and the greatest trophy in college football comes home to Birmingham.

[Jacob]

whats funny is hes not gonna do shit in the NFL because he wont get a chance because he went to UAB not a real school

[Morte]

I believe the man who wore this jersey to the pro bowl last year would disagree.

http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs024.snc3/11161_534351673583_78204610_31428674_331532_n.jpg

Also, the fact that I'm on first name basis with scouts from New England, Miami, Baltimore, Kansas City, and Dallas would also lead one to believe that there may just be a team or two who would take the leading rushing quarterback in the country.

[William Hildebrand]

whats funny is hes not gonna do shit in the NFL because he wont get a chance because he went to UAB not a real school

You're an idiot.

[Jacob]

You're an idiot.

Will you know nothing of football i was just saying some times they don't give small time QB s a fair chance or even sometimes players don't do as well in the NFL as they did in college or they other way around. I hope that that guy does get a chance

[William Hildebrand]

Wow, again you're a dumbass. 1.) Where does knowledge of football (and fyi, I probably know more than you) come into play here? 2.) You didn't say shit about "giving QBs a chance or etc". You said in YOUR POST that "he wont get a chance because he went to UAB not a real school". That is full of shit sir, do you know what the NFL draft is and how the scouting stuff works? I guess now. Did you even LOOK at the stats that Morte has posted on that player? He is GOOD and he definite on making the NFL. Even he is an back up QB or what not, he will make a team based on the records he surpassed and what he has brought to UAB. Excellent example is Pat White from West Virginia or even Matt Ryan from Boston College.

[Morte]

The scouts I've talked with are looking at him as a WR/Wildcat QB. Pretty much what I expected. His sophomore season they moved him to receiver and he led the team in stats. He'd never played the position before.

[Morte]

I laughed when I saw this. I had forgotten this play. He had one pulled off by two defenders and then ran out of the other one.

I'm pretty sure Cleveland and Washington are going to be looking for new QB's.

Just saying.

[Morte]

True. He got invited this morning to the Senior Bowl as a Wide Receiver. His agent said that people know what he can do as a Quarterback, and they want to see what he can do as a Receiver.

[elg0rd0]

Wow, well I hope the best for him.

[Morte]

Personally, I'd love to see him go to Atlanta as a receiver just so he and Roddy can be lined up opposite each other.

[Morte]

Front page of the Senior Bowl website features Joe Webb. The two stories "ahead" of this one are one for Tebow and one announcing the coaching staffs.

For Great Justice (http://www.seniorbowl.com/article.asp?articleID=207)

[Morte]

Mention for Joe on Sports Illustrated (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/football/nfl/01/25/seniorbowl.monday/) today.

"Notes: One of the more interesting prospects on the field is former Alabama-Birmingham quarterback Joe Webb, who's exclusively lining up at receiver during the Senior Bowl. After some early bumps in practice, Webb got his feet underneath him and looked like the transition to his new position would be a smooth one. Webb's day culminated when he beat Florida State's Patrick Robinson on a deep route and made a difficult, over-the-shoulder reception."

Here's an accompanying pic.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h234/nsalyers66/-3db4a6316d54b993.jpg

Joe's stats upon arrival are:

6'3"
223 lbs
33 3/4" arm
10 3/4" hand

Which is the longest wingspan, largest hands, and biggest frame of all the receivers.

[William Hildebrand]

Pro Football Hall of Fame just recently signed I believe a 4 year contract deal with the Texas vs the Nation all star Football game. Them sponsoring the football game over basically the Senior Bowl was a shock. Even though it's still growing and it's the 4th year here in El Paso, every year it has gotten bigger in every way. Also the game literally closes out the college football season, happy that the Sun Bowl got this such big event for the past 4 years and the admin of the Texas vs the Nation game wants to keep it in El Paso for a long time like the Sun Bowl. Good deal. Over the years the numbers have grown for players drafted into the Pros. This game has grown strong, now it just needs to be on a better network than CBS College Sports channel.

Catch the 2010 Hall of Fame Texas vs the Nation All Star Game on Feb, 6 2010 at 12 PM MT/2 PM ET on CBS College Sports.

[Morte]

TvtN still has a ways to go before it can get the name recognition that the Senior Bowl has. People currently view the Senior Bowl as the first choice and the TvtN game as the backup. You're more than right in saying they need a better network, but at least I get to watch that one, unlike the Senior Bowl. I have to go to a damn sports bar to watch that one.

[Morte]

Also just got word that Roddy is back in the Pro Bowl.

[William Hildebrand]

Only problem with TvtN is the network. Last year was terrible on coverage. The announcers were terrible and the placing of the mics on the field were just in the wrong positions because there was this one mic that faced toward (I dunno why) the high school cheerleaders and majority of the time all you heard was there cheers. It was quite annoying.

It will improve but they're sure kickass football games.


Curious. what channel is the Senior Bowl on?

[Morte]

CBS is just bad in general.

Senior Bowl is on fucking NFL network. I either have to go to a bar or to the office to see it. Fucking monopoly.

[William Hildebrand]

Senior Bowl on NFL Network. That's bullshit. FUCK TIME WARNER FOR NOT CARRYING NFL NETWORK!

Well, time to internetz the game and hook my laptop to tv.

[Morte]

You know of somewhere to watch it? Only place I can think of is channelsurfing.net

[William Hildebrand]

Avoid Justintv.com at all times for anything sports (unless you're watching futbol). Too many people and lag and also the NFL & NCAA always catch the streams on there and shut them off easily.

I PM'd you the site that a few of us use to get very good quality feeds for anything sports. (It's what I use to watch my Miami Dolphins play sense I always get the damn Texans & Cowboys games ugh).

[Morte]

Thank you sir. That should do nicely. Much obliged.

[EZE]

Just played a round of my made up game of Gay Football. 7:3

[Morte]

Do tell

[EZE]

You pass a football while sitting down and if you fail to catch the ball you get a gay (scrore). It's a lazy man's man game of football.

[William Hildebrand]

DAMN the NFL for fooling me on this game. It's fantastic! Best Pro Bowl I have seen in a long time and the most funniest thing is that these players are not even playing 'hard' at all.

[Morte]

Ya'll know I gotta go on about mah boi. Joe, while training with CES in Atlanta, hurdles a stack of dummies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9PsUH1fmJk) that's slightly taller than his shoulders in height.
