2016 NFL Offseason

[Inky Noodles]

People are acting like he's said nothing like this before. He was drafted in the 5th round, not as high expectations.

I'm rooting for Seattle.

As am I.

For me, history provides the answers. Each team with the highest scoring offense to reach the superbowl, lost the superbowl.


Each team with the highest scoring defense that reached the superbowl, won it all.


Ladies and gentlemen, I pick my local hero, Russell Wilson, and his Seattle sea hawks, to win the SB.

I hope so. Provided the 12th man on the Broncos team isn't the referees like the last time the Seahawks were at the Super Bowl.
Fuckin' Stealers.

All the more reason why I don't like him. It wasn't an isolated incident after he had tons of emotions running through him. His arrogance and holier-than-thou attitude is a character trait.

you still would have lost without the blown calls

Which is why this Bears fan, who up to this point has supported the Seahawks' playoff run, will be a Bronco fan for the Super Bowl. People like Sherman epitomize one of the major problems in all levels of football: a lack of sportsmanship.

[The Treorai]

Well, I am glad the Seahawks won last night. Gives me no reason to be upset over who wins the Super Bowl (Specifically I don't have to see Cry Brady or Flat-Capernick win a ring).

However, my significant other is a die-hard Broncos fan, therefore I am rooting for Denver.

I don't know if it's necessarily a problem. I don't like people who lack sportsmanship, but I'm glad there are people like that in the league. I don't like Richard Sherman, but I'm glad he's in the NFL and I'm glad he expresses his shitty personality so often because it makes the game more entertaining. Having a villain to root against is important.

That's part of the reason why I miss T.O. It was completely classless, but that whole incident with the Dallas star and the brawl that ensued afterwards was awesome. Same with Randy Moss and his antics. As a Packer fan, I hated the guy, but I miss him too.

[Arkinesia]

So... I assume after Sherman's douchebaggery last night, most of us (other than Seahawk fans) are rooting for Peyton, right?

Also, I'd like to introduce Richard to the best CB of all-time, who actually knows a thing or two about class.

We'll see how good the LOB is against a top 5 QB of all time.

lolwut

Champ Bailey is not the best CB of all time. You could definitely make a case for Ronnie Lott or Deion Sanders sooner than Bailey. I put Bailey on the same rank as, say, Ronde Barber, definitely one of the best in the league for most of his career, but not the greatest of all time.

[Riflemoor]

Okay, hey, hey, hey, let's talk about sportsmanship. Sherman went to shake Crabtree's hand and then Crabtree facemasked him. The two had been on-and-off rivals ever since a charity event back in Arizona where they almost got into a fight. Now I will agree that it still doesn't justify Sherman's reaction and I would have infinitely greater respect for him had he taken the high road, but stop pretending that Crabtree is not at fault here.

After he patted Crabtree in the ass and talked shit to him following the final play?

"Good game, good game" is talking shit now? Source me for Sherman talking shit after swatting the interception and I might believe you.

Yeah he's not the actual greatest, I just chose him because he'll be playing against him two weeks from now (not directly against him, but you know). But he's definitely top 10 of all-time, and a bit above the Ronde Barber type players.

In reality, I'd say Deion is the best, but he's not exactly known for being humble and classy so I didn't want to use him.

I'm not glad people like him are/were in the NFL. There's plenty of entertainment without having people act in an unsportsmanlike manner. Even looking just at the Seahawks, Russell Willson and Marshawn Lynch and their lockdown defense are plenty of entertainment.

Unsportsmanlike conduct, to me, is not good entertainment; rather, it distracts from good entertainment. The top story today should be the excellent effort put forward by the Seahawks' defense, but instead we get to see Richard Sherman be an ass. I find nothing entertaining about watching someone throw a victory in the opposing team's face and talk about how great he is.

Again, I'm a Chicago Bears fan. None of this affects my team one way or another. They're watching the games at home.

I understand your point, and it makes perfect sense, but I just disagree. For me, I like the added storylines. A game of football alone doesn't necessarily do it for me. It's why I don't watch Division 3 college football, I don't know the stories behind the teams and players. The next time Seattle and San Francisco play, though, you better believe I'll be tuning in to see how it all plays out.

Obviously you can still have interesting storylines while still being respectful to each other(Bears/Packers, Brady/Manning), but having a villain always makes it more interesting for me.

[The Ben Boys]

Since I live a few minutes north of SF most everyone is a 49ers fan, so I always knew when the Niners scored by all the cheers around the block and when the Seahawks did by all the boos. Screams ensued at the end with the interception and all that.

Aaaand I'm going for Broncos.

[Chetssaland]

Also, Richard Sherman's stats aren't as good as what his talk suggests.

Receptions allowed: 10th
Yards allowed: 29th
Yards after catch allowed: 30th
TD allowed: 25th (tied)

His only elite statistic is interceptions (2nd), but other than that, nothing indicates that he's the best CB in the NFL. Playmaker? Sure. But he's not the best overall CB.

But we both agree that we hate the sons of bitches! Lol

[Blazedtown]

As a Minnesotan, you've just declared war. And of course this is personal. You insulted a team I yell and scream and throw beer cans at my TV over for sucking so bad. Nobody gets to talk shit about my team but me.

when you die, they'll be your pallbearers so they can let you down one last time

That's going in my will.

Well, that wasn't a fun ban..... anyway.....
