NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[Bobby Layne]

 "Kluwe’s locker room behavior stood out to some interviewees and included stories about Kluwe dropping his pants in front of 20-25 business people as they were being escorted through the locker room on a tour. Interviewees also recalled Kluwe making fun of the coaches’ speeches on the white board in the locker room and leaving it there even when the press came in. Kluwe also made fun of the Vikings’ then Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tom Kanavy, an alumnus of‒and former coach at‒Penn State University, concerning the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State situation. In his interview, Kanavy explained that Kluwe cut the seat out of his pants and then put them on to imitate a victim of the Penn State child-abuse scandal. According to Kanavy, Kluwe said that he was a “Penn State victim” and to “stay away” from him while his buttocks were exposed."

 So while this guy was championing gay rights and tolerance in the locker room he was making light of rape and child molestation.  And instead of apologizing for it he defends it by saying it was joke, everyone else was doing it, and he was mocking the culture of PSU and not the kids themselves.

Chris Kluwe seems like he would be the most annoying type of teammate you could have.

 

[100027]

Sounded like he had legitimate grounds for his lawsuit based on the team reaction.

But putting everyone and everything on blast in social media is not a good look for him at all .

How do yall feel about wearing jerseys of teams your aren't a fan of?

I've rooted for the Saints for about a decade but full on buying a jersey feels wrong but for 25 bucks I'm thinking about it.

I just can't rock teams in our division

I could never put on a Dips, Giants or Cowboys jersey other than that I have M&N jerseys of other teams

 

[dmxfury]

Don't wear jerseys anymore but go nuts and wear what you want. Not like the team cares if you do and you can 'support' some classic names/teams

 

[nooera]

I feel weird wearing another mans name on my back. Especially now that im 24 and all these kids in the L are younger than me :x Feels batman.

However, I Would still rock a Mj, Bird, Pierce, Brady, Moss, Ortiz etc etc

I barely wear my AP jersey, so while I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I probably wouldn't. I basically buy Mcfarlane figures of most of my favorite players as opposed to jerseys. My AP, I just got (held out because I hated their old jersey's), but it's probably my last. It'll end up framed someday.

 

[Hahahaha]

Says who? Does it matter today, what the Giants and Eli was apart of in 2007? You know how many new QB's have come in to the league since then?...Since '11 for that matter... What have you done for me lately Eli?

Well, homerific seems to think that he's still half better than the entire leagues Q's. Wrong. Eli threw the most interceptions in the NFL last year. Not only that, but he did so by throwing 5 more than the next person. He was also ranked 32nd in completion percentage of all quarterbacks eligible for the stat (only 37). Now...I don't know what your criteria is, nor do I really care, but no top 15 quarterback for me ranks last or below 30 in any of those categories. Quit fooling ya'll selves into thinking Eli is great. He's not.

Homerific? Hahaha, I don't even talk about the Giants in here. I've been called a Niners fan more times than anything else. I don't really care about QB rankings. There's 5 that are great and 2-3 that are good. The rest are average or bad. If you're ranking strictly off of last season, I'm fine with Eli dropping to the low teens or even the twenties. I'm assuming he ranked everyone by their career. I've seen you crush Eli on here plenty of times, you just don't like the guy. I'm cool with that too. We all have players we don't like.

I can't wear other teams. Just my teams. I am dying for a Pro Bowl Barry, Deion and Moss jersey though. I desperately need Mitchell and Ness to bring them back out

C. Rodgers Lions jersey

Yup. I'm always close to buying a new Hawks jersey before I realize I barely have a chance to wear what I have. Not going to wear a jersey to work or out to dinner.

 

[stillin729]

I pretty stick to my M&N Randall for game days but I bought a Nike Elite Shady last year during the Fanatics sale

 

[coltfanb]

Im cool on wearing other teams jerseys... Ill only wear colts jerseys, home or away nike elite luck on gameday

 

[Hahahaha]

HUGE fan of the red Texans jerseys


I think my jersey days are pretty much done. Retail being $300 is a joke. Even with a sale it's over $200 still

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

jerseys are too expensive! I have a Replica Charles Woodson its good enough for me

 

[do work son]

 

[Retto]

Red Texans jerseys are ill

Like said a few posts above, I'll rock other teams besides my own (not nearly as much of course), but I can/will never wear anything of a division rival.

Oh, && personalized jerseys FTW...need to get a blue alternate done soon.

 

[Retto]

Whewwww man that'd be dope

I love the current glittery silver helmet, but if we were to ever change up...that would be the perfect new look. Especially if they could incorporate the stripes from our current helmet into such a look.

 

[100027]

Are these packages the same that was offered with Madden? I used their online access I got with Madden and it was TERRIBLE. streams lagging, not loading, the site taking too long to log on etc
ISWYDT


jk
Wish they would wear these more often

What you mean? The madden deal was great. Yes the streams lagged a little from live but overall it was great, especially if you're a Seattle fan living in NYC for most of your life. I'm buying this direct tv thing for sure.

 

[Hahahaha]

I only had some minor problems during week 1 with the Madden deal. After that, it was smooth. I'm tight they're not bringing it back.

 

[IATT]

Battle Reds

Nike needs to change up those big ***** collars.. Would be sooo much better if it had a red collar.. Same goes for the UGA jerseys

 

[T0INE]

I wish the panthers would move to a matte black helmet.

With that silver flake facemask.

All black uni with hits of carolina blue.

 

[stillin729]

I think the new Jags uniforms are sick

 

[100027]

I like the new jags unis too.

In fact I dig everything Nike has done. People love to hate the new. Outside of the Seahawks I think the Vikings new ones are just about perfect

 

[blackboyfly]

Eli has been average his whole career.

He got hot for 1 season and 2 playoff runs.

Other then that, meh.

Those amazing comebacks he come to get famous for are his fault for slanging 2-3 interceptions in the first half.
