Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

[firerat]

I just don't understand the need to investigate something someone already admitted to doing.

That handicap parking space thing Cape posted before was spot on.

 

[stratslinger]

Here's the thing that really gets me... NOW - the National Organization for Women - just yesterday started calling for Goodell's head. Now, these folks, as a profession, are theoretically out there on the front lines against domestic violence against women. And it took THEM seeing the video to say "wait a minute Goodell, 2 weeks was way too lenient, why did you wait this long to really act against Rice, you don't deserve your job!"

Pants on heads, people. Pants on heads.

Maybe whoever's in charge of NOW should consider resigning too...

 

[Homercidal]

I kind of feel bad for those two. As I understand it, his playing career is pretty much over and he's only walking away with 25 million...

This is a great learning experience for the wives of highly paid athletes. How many women are going to keep their mouth shut to keep the paycheck coming in. An unfortunate but realistic side effect.
Maybe the Ravens would like to donate a portion of Ray's salary to go toward domestic violence education.

I love that commercial.... Where the employee says something at a table where a meeting is going on (I think its a UPS commercial maybe )....

total silence.

The boss then says the exact same words but uses his hand for emphasis.

Everyone goes nuts agreeing...

That commercial just happened. Except you're not the boss. But... Maybe... some middle tier guy from Accounting... who's real dream is to hit it big on The Voice if you could only get up the courage to sing in public and get your mom to finish the snazzy sequined one-piece jumpsuit you have asked her over and over again to finish. "MOM!! Jumpsuit!!!! Make it happen!!! Wanna get on The Voice and you're fcukin with my shti!!!"


That's what it was like.

Nah. That's bullsh!t. He said it WAY more eloquently than you did.

 

[paulthenurse]

And don't go busting on the sequined jump suit thang. Pretty sure Giselle will parade Tommy Terrific out in one of those some day. Let's par there are no goats this time.

 

[bluemoose]

Huh, sure didn't feel like that. Felt like a well thought out post without the Cape hyperbole.
Felt like a strong statement with strong intent.
Felt like the kind of post fans from all teams could admire.
Felt like the post of the year in this thread.
Feels like you wish you were me. It's OK Cape, I get that all the time.

Where do you get your information from? The toilet store?

You were right that NOW is calling for his resignation, but not just for the Rice incident but all domestic violence cases that have happened in the NFL without punishment. Yes, this incident is the one that made them vocal about domestic violence in the NFL, but could they really ask for his resignation when such an issue wasnt taking the media by storm? Since Goodell has been the commissioner, there have been a countless number of players who have been charged with domestic violence. Wanna guess what a majority of there punishments from the NFL were? Not a damn thing. First Take this morning had the numbers and it was shocking. Certainly not something that any of us would have thought or typically hear about from the NFL. Around 50 or so cases where the NFL did not pass down any punishment to players who were charged with domestic violence against a woman. This is an issue that has been going on, even before Goodell, but one that has not been handled correctly at all. Nothing has been done to try and stop domestic violence, until they banned Rice. NOW isnt in the wrong here trying to figure out why so many domestic violence cases have just been looked over by the NFL.

The price they pay to sit poolside why their maid does the cooking and cleaning.

I'd take a blow every now and then for that...

I had the same conversation with the SWMBO. She was all judgmental and I called bullshti. "Ok so... If I could wave a magic wand and guarantee we would get $25 million dollars if I could punch you in the face once, would you do it?"

She hesitated and I instantly went "ohhh fccccccck you. You would do that in a SECOND so spare me the act".

Anyone who says they wouldn't is full of sht.

But that's my point exactly. I understand their argument, and they're doing their damdest to make it clear that this isn't just about Rice - but the fact that they did it immediately after the Ray Rice video came to light, and not immediately after the Ray Rice slap on the wrist for what obviously came before certainly makes it look like they're responding in exactly the same manner as every other ******** that Cape and Bluemoose are biching about.

Are they right that the NFL, and maybe Goodell specifically, have a problem? Yeah. Should they have probably, considering it's their whole reason for being and all that, spoken up a little sooner, rather than looking like just another reactionary idjit with a pitchfork? Signs indicate yes...

 

[Cape Brewing]

Thank you Strat... Exactly.

Where Tf have these people been? All of a sudden there is a media storm over something that, in relative terms, is freakin minor... then everyone comes out of the wood work??

Wayyyyyy too convenient and contrived

They do it now because its the perfect time to plead their case. This video has everyone talking about how terrible domestic violence is because now everyone CAN SEE for themselves what they normally cant imagine someone (especially a sports celebrity) doing. I agree with you and Cape that the media frenzy over this is getting unreal. For NOW though, you have to strike when the iron is hot and, in this case, when the people are emotional.

For instance, when have most of us ever heard about NOW before this incident? When was the president of NOW ever interviewed on Sports Center or any other major TV show before? Even though the frenzy is ridiculous, for NOW its working to show America that this happens in every aspect of our society, more than most would like to believe.
