That would be amazing.  Also, I know Twitter etiquette.  I used to follow black athletes on Twitter, they say dumb shit all the time.

Not a suggestion or concern, moving to the Lounge FEG.
Sorry, I'm gonna be a bit of a nazi in S&C. We're getting a lot of threads, and I'm worried that side discussions will make us miss something.

You are worse than that Junker guy on the old site.

I think FES is really just a gathering of like-minded folks.  Aside from the few FEBs, it is a place to challenge convention, and talk to people who have similar interests.

When different grammatical and spelling nuances appear in EJ's annoying shitposting, it's pretty obvious he's doing it on purpose. I know he's not hurting anybody, but I don't see why he's allowed to post in the upper fora. The user behind the computer is almost certainly capable of forming sensible responses, but chooses to post crap instead. I think it is intentional annoyance, in other words "being a dick".

EJ, do you get off to people telling you that you're stupid? This is a serious question. And if the answer to that question is no, then I'm afraid you are indeed stupid. Either way, you should consider improving your life in some way.

C'mon spoon, not here, bro.  I think most of us are used to it by now.

The Patriots are literally the only good team ever in history to have a bad game. Solid argument.

I was with you until you said "good," implying that they aren't terrible.

My point is of the top NFC teams we lost to one. And I know it can't be changed but in a perfect world we likely would've beat the Panthers had they made the right call. On top of how they're playing thus far, statistically speaking right now is Tom Brady's time to shine (as demonstrated in that Broncos game)


"Tom Brady has 46 games under his belt in cold weather with a 40-6 record. He's 29-5 at home and 11-1 on the road. He has a 10-2 postseason record inside those 46 games. " cbssports

"Since 2001, the Patriots are an NFL-best 43-6 in December" Boston Globe

Yet, he couldn't throw a TD against the Bengals.

Those girls we met in Singapore back in '98 was the worst decision of your life, don't try to block it out.

We don't talk about that. As far as I'm concerned, '98 never happened.

Waht. They beat the Saints, if not for awful officiating should've beat the Panthers, beat the bucs, beat the Falcons.

lol bucs and falcons

Saints are in indoor team.  You beat them at home... Wow.  Did you see what Seattle did to the Saints at their house?  Shoulda, coulda, woulda, on the Panthers.  You also lost to the Jets, at home.  What a joke.

Which year did they have they "greatest" team ever assembled?

18-1

They, with the the help of the greatness that is Tom Brady are doing what no-one expected them to this year. They're not a star studded team but are doing fantastic.

They play in a shit division and a weak conference overall.  If the AFC didn't have to make the Superbowl, they wouldn't this year.  They had stars last year, but your best slot receiver was traded to Denver and one of your TEs just had commit murder.  They were exposed by the Bengals.  They will fail, as usual.

As for the Bruins, yes they dropped the ball (puck?) but will be back with a vengeance this post season. And i thought it was $100?

Oh hell, I forgot how much money it was.

Ugh you're boring, don't give up so easily.

Fine.  Boston sports are shit.  The Sox win this was a fluke.  No one cares what Tom Brady and the Pats do because although they have had winning records they haven't won a Superbowl in a decade, even though they had one of the "greatest" teams ever assembled, they lost to a shit NY Giants team.  Remember what happened last time the Bruins tried to win the title?  You ended up owing me $50, and still do.

But Junker, both are top teams in their respective leauges and have proven themselves in beating teams with good records. I'd be surprised it either team did not make it to the finals/super bowl.

Oh jeez, Sean, I know.  I am just giving you a hard time.

ESPN starts their gazillion dollar SEC contract next year and they have a lot of influence.  At this point, nothing would surprise me.

The BCS is heavily SEC biased.  I doubt they would repeat the mistake of leapfrogging an undefeated team with a one lose team.

I wouldn't put it past them.  Back in 2006, when OSU/Michigan played a thriller in the final week and were #1 and #2 respectively, there couldn't be a rematch because there was an unwritten rule that a team had to at least win its conference to play in the NCG.  But fast forward 5 years, Alabama doesn't even win its division, much less its conference, and still gets in.

I dunno, the Buckeyes don't have a whole lot going for them. Their QB is unproven, their wide receivers are average at best, and they really have no concept of a decent running game. Meanwhile, MSU more or less has all their bases covered (with the exception of several of their defensive backs).

Braxton has a good arm and can run.  His only problem is reading the secondary on occasion.  Carlos Hyde has almost 1300 yds in only 9 games (he was suspended the first 3) so I'd say their running game is just fine.  Receivers aren't great and defensive can be a worry depending on which version shows up.

I still think they handle MSU and end up in the NCG unless Auburn wins and the BCS decides it wants its SEC team in the game instead.

Their defense has been playing to the level of the competition.  I think they are going to handle MSU by 10+ points.  MSU defense hasn't dealt with a RB like Hyde, he is a monster.
