NFL 2018

Well I hope Elway goes all in then.

I live in CT. I don't like the Pats, Giants, or Jets.

I get it PhD and I agree 100%. Just because you live somewhere doesn't automatically make you a biased NFL ref. Being that there are so many transplanted Californians I wonder if the 4 refs in question have ties to other cities and have ever been fans of other NFL teams. You would think so, right?

I learned last week and this week that there are at least 5 people in my office who never lived in New England/Boston and love the Patriots.
I learned there are at least 25 people in my office who HATE the Patriots.
Good thing none of them are NFL refs officiating a Patriots playoff game.

Another Super Bowl in which I am no more than 48/52 and/or 52/48 in terms of which team I want to win.
Sucks.
Would much prefer to root for one team and against the other.

always root against the pats

[pdub]

Truth.
I live in New England and hate the Pats.

[ousdahl]

I kinda go back and forth.

I hated them the other night playing the Chiefs. but with Brady/Bell/Pats I've generally kinda been okay with their dynasty, especially cuz of their feuds with the league itself, which I think is the real bad guy that I love to hate.

(what if Lebron was like "Stern/Silver can suck my nuts!")

I'm not much invested in the NFL either way.

[pdub]

Belichick is an asshole ( and not one of those lovable assholes like Huggins ) who has cheated to win ( spare me the excuses about cold weather ).
Tom Brady doesn't eat hamburgers or strawberries and has cheated to win ( see above ).

[jhawks99]

Does he eat cheeseburgers?

[pdub]

He doesn't eat dairy.

[Deleted User 89]

(and he and the krafts are trumpaloes )

[pdub]

He could eat the hamburger if the meat was non GMO certified.
It would also need to be cooked in coconut oil.
And he couldn't have the bun, tomato ( if any ) or any condiments.
The lettuce and red onion ( if any ) would likely be OK.

Yea, one day a year he'll treat himself to maybe a michelob ultra and a bag of baked lays.
Good on him.

[Deleted User 183]

Seems one day a year he treats himself to an AFC Championship game too.
9 days in 9 separate years he's treated himself to play in the Super Bowl.
Good on him.
Whatever he does and doesn't consume - others might want to take note.
Wait, we are taking note.
Never mind.
Fuck 'im!

[pdub]

Certainly, he's the GOAT.
Doesn't mean you have to like him, his coach or the organization.

True Dat!

On another note, I do like this guy.

Bad news pdub - Brady loves you.

[Deleted User 89]

another reason to root against the pats

I mean, he's an idiot, but people need to get over themselves.
It's a combination of him learning tact and people not getting their panties in a wad.
Just my opinion - and i'm sure not a popular one with some here.

[Deleted User 183]

I don't get it. Why are people offended? He said his favorite number is 108.
I understand people not liking him. Dude is an assclown. Always has been and always will be.
I think of guys such as Ethan Westbrooks who beat "one of the mothers of one of his children" (and had numerous arrests before and after that) and then I realize there isn't an organization in the NFL that doesn't employ at least one complete jagoff to play football for them.

Not sure if anyone caught Goodell's presser today. I saw bits and pieces. No clue what the heck he was trying to say in terms of the NFC Championship debacle. Talk about terrible prep. Guy knew for more than a week he would have to talk about it and then made little to no sense today.
