I think this dude was one of the guys hiding in butts, I don't think he's a toilet man.... but I could be wrong.

The toilet jokes are dumb. Be more clever. Serious my niece could make your jokes

You come off as a moron. Do you not realize that even even those who agree with you think you are?

What do you think I am, one of these NFL slaves. I tell jokes that I want, when I want and where I want. If Jerry has issues with that, tell him he can come see me in the toilet with his slave owning ass.

He can tell you that you are less successful then everyone working for him. And he can tell you that many more will make a bigger impact on this earth.

Is that like a slave owner's prep talk? I would think something like, "if you do what I say, all of your wildest dreams will come true" would work better, honestly.

This raises things I have never considered before. Does Jerry know me? How does he measure success? How has he measured my performance to his slaves performance? What is an impact on the Earth mean? How is it measured?

Now as far as his success, as I surmise you are implying he is successful. Which I am not disputing at this time, however, if he is so successful why exactly does he need tax breaks, taxpayer welfare, and special benefits that other businesses don't get? It would seems like, if his plantation, if you will, was successful he wouldn't need other slaves outside his plantation to supply him tax dollars.

Is his measure of a Man (excuse me Person), measured by the amount of bloodsucking he can do from poor taxpayers? If so, than I think we can agree that I am not on his scale, nor do I wish to be.

Redirect Notice

Such a Trump thing to do:

A) Making a petition about this in the first place
B) “Supporters who stand” instead of “supporters who think the players should be made to stand” to draw more signatures
C) “Show your patriotism”
D) The best part, which is that it doesn’t show how many people have signed, so he can say whatever number he wants.

“Huge victory” lol

He'll draw it out as long as possible to continue to score political points - I would just introduce legislation to withdraw the anti-trust exemption, but I'm not running for office.

I watched about 10 minutes of the game last night, just enough to see Marshawn Lynch go ape**** and grab a ref. I see I’m not missing much.

I didn't go searching. Marshawn Lynch came up ITT and I remembered this story. Do you think I'm trying to say all players do this? That wasn't what I was doing but thank you for outing yourself as someone whose blood boils when an NFL player conquers the world.

When did that happen, and who?

Also, most of the stats are 5 years out of the league... chances are he will be broke at some point. It's like you are placing a bet on a game and since your team is up in the 1st quarter, you collect. I'm not sure, if someone has researched it... but if they are at around 80% after 5 years, you're probably looking at 95%+ after 10 years.

Are you kidding? That was a great game. Thought it was over like 4 times. Raiders ran a play with 0 seconds left to win.

Do you watch NFL games because you are a fan of the team or the game. I watch very little NFL because I don't care much (personally invested in like UT)for any of the teams and the game isn't as interesting anymore.

I'm like you. I have no team in pro football. I have always liked the Red Sox and Dodgers, and I used to play, so I watch some baseball.

I love football so much. That's it. The scheming is the main attraction.

Fair enough. The NFL lost me beginning with free agency, then when they started handcuffing the defense and making the QB almost untouchable I was gone. It's just not the game I grew up loving.

My brother always said "why don't they just put a dress on the quarterback?" He grew tired of the changes.

I don't like the new baseball rule that doesn't let the catcher block the plate before he catches the ball. I enjoyed the home plate collisions. Of course, I enjoyed watching cars get airborne at Daytona and Talladega.

Free agency? Seriously?

The game has evolved so much organically on its own (and I think that's a good thing) that those rule changes are blips on the radar. Those rules didn't change the league, the league changes led to those rules.

Yeah, they let them hit the QB hard when he dropped back 10x a game and the linebackers hit like Buicks.

Now the QB's drop back 40x a game and the LB's hit like mack trucks.

They had to change the rules.

Blood boils? You have reading comprehension issues.
