I'm not a fan of most of the newer uniform changes that we've seen around the league, but one of the ones I do think came out cool is the Vikings matted paint job on the helmet.

That looks really cool.

Too bad the rest of the uniform is ugly as shit.

Outside of maybe an all white look, I am not a fan of any of solid X color uniforms. I really wish teams would stop with that.

Participation trophies have spilled over into professional sports.

It started with the ghey "tribute" videos in the NBA for any halfway notable player who had a quick cup of coffee with a franchise. Now it's reached the NFL in this form.

Shit, look at what we did for Zeke last season when he returned with the Patriots.

That shit was pathetic.

 

[Genghis Khan]

It's hilarious that we try to sell the NFL to London fans by constantly throwing one of our worst franchises (Jacksonville) at them.

You can always tell the level of importance of a player by the head coach's reaction to the player's injury.

A normal player gets hurt, the HC just ignores him and prepares for the next play.

A star player gets hurt, the HC walks out onto the field to personally check on the player.

Shit, look at what we did for Zeke last season when he returned with the Patriots.

That shit was pathetic.

At least Zeke had a handful of great seasons in Dallas and was a fan favorite. I get that one.

That could have been disastrous for the Jets. Hes lucky he didnt botch that catch.

After the kicking team touches it, it's basically a free go for the receiving team. Even if he fumbles it, I believe.

Amen. Those tribute videos have gotten so ridiculous.

They're laying some licks on Rodgers old ass.

Now he's down.

 

[Texas Ace]

Uh oh .. That doesn't look good.

 

[boozeman]

Oh noes now Rodgers is hurt.

"You don't bounce back as fast at 40 as you did at 25."

Kurt Warner with the hard-hitting analysis.

 

[boozeman]

Still, why would anyone be a Jets fan that's not old enough to remember Namath?

The glory days of the Sack Exchange? The brief Parcells era? Making the AFCC with Rex Ryan?

 

[1bigfan13]

Rich Eisen's fandom is really showing.

As an aside, sports media personalities on national shows who are Jets fans like Eisen, are the main reason they were so hyped heading into the season.

 

[boozeman]

It is fitting that Rodgers’ doglike devotion to a shit coach in Hackett ends up putting a stank footnote to his career. Fuck him.

 

[Texas Ace]

Rodgers is going to feel like shit tomorrow morning.

 

[boozeman]

Watching in the screened-in living area today.

Whoa. First game thread I've "started." drevilairquotes.gif

I need to know who to blame if things don't go well tonight.

Wait a minute. Did some busybody take your post from another thread and make it the first post in this thread? In that case, you get no credit.

 

[bbgun]

So Rodgers is writhing in pain one second and taking a snap a minute later? Fucking fraud.

 

[boozeman]

He started talking about it, so he owns it.
