NFL 2018: From the Draft to the Super Bowl

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

Rivers is absolutely a good QB. Fuck I hated him during the Cutler rivalry. Cunt of the highest order, but he's mellowed out now, has almost as many kids as his jersey number and apparently a real humble dude outside of football. I won't be mad if Loss Angeles pulls a miracle out of their ass and they get him a ring before he retires.

Would have been interesting if McNabb started his career 15 years later. Athletic guy, didn't make mistakes, seemed to get it, won playoff games. First QB with 30 TDs and less than 10 Ints. Never considered the best, but hovered around the top five for his entire prime.

Maybe we see it now with Andy's new guy.

Philly fans hate everyone who is not a scrappy little guy. Dykstra, Dawkins, Utley...

Most common McNabb complaints:
- didn't take off and run enough
- was too cautious (held ball too long, not enough jump ball throws)
- threw ball too hard

In other words, they were really reaching. Fans could never get their minds wrapped around strategy and playcalling. Like, McNabb was incredible on QB sneaks, in part because of his athleticism, but also because they did not do it every 3rd or 4th and inches.

Denver fans have a great fanbase. I can't imagine having to be a Philly fan with the reputation that they have as a whole. Yuck.

It is kind of refreshing.

When I was a young kid, my uncles and grandparents used to take me to wrestling shows. Baltimore was Jim Crockett and NWA Territory and Philly was WWF territory. The difference was amazing, especially when you were used to seeing WWF on TV where the crowds reacted as planned.

The Baltimore crowd would give the Road Warrior pop and want to kill Jim Cornette. The Philly crowd would be booing Hulk Hogan, cheering the Honky Tonk Man, etc. I even remember a group of like 6 dudes calling themselves the "Outlaw Ron Bass Fan Club" after he cut up Brutus Beefcakes face with a boot spur on TV.

*Hogan hulks up and wags finger at One Man Gang*

Philly fan with 10 and 12 year olds all around him: "Punch him in the fucking dick!!!"

Also recall going to a sporting event when a couple dudes brought a trash bag full of chicken wings, and just threw each bone casually on the floor after eating them like it was no big deal.

Never thought about the wrestling crowd.

I don't really belong at sporting events, to be honest. When you're required to get loud, I'm just not the type. I won't be yelling or cheering loudly. If I'm at a comedy show, I'll laugh quietly or find something funny and not laugh out loud at all.

For a time, they LOVED T.O. in a way that I'm not sure any other fanbase would have embraced him.

"#Bills Josh Allen just asked Kelvin Benjamin if he wanted to work on routes pregame during warm ups.

Kelvin’s answer: No"

I lol'd hard at this. Poor Josh is trying though.
