Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Enki_Amenra]

I'd probably announce it if I were being paid to be in a football video game that is going to be played by tens of millions of people. . . I'd announce it twice if I were a Tennessee player.

It was Nadia I just looked the answer up.

You sure about that? She went to the '84 Games; but, I don't think she competed.

She was awesome in 76..like a robot..a Sally.

Taken from the PF, for those of you that don't stray from the RF plantation.....

Trying to learn my grandkids that board games are better than video games.

So for Christmas I bought a few old board games, so I've played Operation for 2 months now.

Hands aren't as steady as they once were.

put 120V to it and that will steady the hands

Thanks for your reply

Why should professional athletes be allowed to participate in your opinion sir.?

You don't believe amateur athletes are good enough?

The Olympics are supposed to be about the best athletes in the world...in my opinion. I once felt like you, way back in the 80s...but a lot of really smart people making really good points changed my mind.

A true "amateur" athlete cannot devote enough of their life to be the absolutely best they can be...and the Olympics are about being the BEST in the world in your chosen sport.

These people eat, sleep and breathe their training 24/7/365 in order to be the best, how in the hell are they supposed to do that and work full time jobs to support themselves as adults?...also they have qualifying competitions they have to attend that are all over the place.

I prefer it to remain an 'amateur sport' just like I prefer College football to be a so-called amateur sport.

I prefer CFB to be amateur myself.

She observed you're correct..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

All you rich people and your luxurious vacations. Must be nice.

I am not in any way well off financially...and we travel a lot...but I understand why you couldn't.

I would gladly take you on a trip somewhere if I could...maybe when I retire we could go on a road trip out west somewhere.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You can't compete in world class athletics and be an amateur anymore. The nutrition and transportation alone makes it completely unrealistic. The moment you do it opens up biases for government (employee) teams.

That's what I'm saying.

@butchna hope you're watching Kyrie cook vs Phoenix..

Banana pudding parfait is a criminally underrated breakfast option.

Olympics should be best Amateur athletes from every country, the way it was meant to be .

Olympics should be the best athletes from every country...period.

 

[SugarCC]

Agree 1 game is too little.

How many games did Maui Ahuna sit last year, waiting on NCAA clearance? And, how many games was Tony V suspended, working with the NCAA? Yet, let a kid deliver a clear-as-day, Macho Man elbow to another kid, 1 game.

Or, maybe I'm just imagining things again...my tin foil hat may be on too tight. Every fanbase feels this way.

Milroe at 96 is a f'n joke

Top word looks like "so" in a better quality picture.

That picture has always given me the heebie-jeebies...those guys had cast iron balls...or they were insane..maybe a lil bit of both..lol.

 

[Orange.]

They’re drunk on their own lack of power.

Why is the President of UGA permitting all of this bs?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I am saying today with social media and NIL world at best amateurish is a paper game. In the period you are talking about we had athletes getting paid by corporate America (due to their athletics) but not working in a classical sense. A game no different than being a worker on the Bellarus team. You cannot dedicate your life to luging, pay for luging and truly be an amateur.

That all seems so obvious to me.

Supposedly IOC pays for travel but 100% training comes out of pocket of athletes.

Hands aren't as steady as they once were.

That used to be one of my favorite games..I would deliberately tap the no tap just to hear the sound and see his nose turn red.

Went to Greece most recently...you should go.

I have always wanted to go to Europe..and Turkey, Egypt and Israel...but that ain't going to happen for me now.

At this point in my life..I would be supremely happy just to make it to all the places in the States I've always wanted to see.
