As opposed to the constantly-repeated opinion on this board that all Democrats are SJWs who need safe spaces? Both are generalizations, genius. That's my point.

I would say that statement is painted with more on the order of a 2" trim brush than a broad brush. Just saying.

Serious question, why didn't any of you liberals call Trump a racist before he ran as a republican? And don't say because of immigration, because bill Clinton and Obama both spoke against illegals. Was it because he actually said he'd do something about it? Has he actually said anything about black people being beneath whites? I mean seriously, show me something other than "he's racist". I'm not a fan of him anyway, but I wanna know why you say he's racist?

I'm a fan and I'd still like to know. He doesn't speak of any race being more or less than any other. The fact that the left reads that into everything he says is telling.

I tried making it easy for you to understand. Obviously that didn’t work.

Maybe this will help. A Saturday night Mountain West 48-42 game is way better that a 13-9 Jets/Bengals game.

You’re not understanding anything. You haven’t made a point and yet you think you can talk about points made. That’s good stuff.

The fact of the matter is there will be more 4-TD blowouts in a typical college football weekend then there will be all season in an NFL.

You’re terrible with hypotheticals.

Well yeah, there are many more college games.

There will be many more one possession games in college than in the NFL. Oooooooohhhhhhhhh


Also, not every 10-7 game is the same. Each game is different. You’re conveniently disregarding crap nfl teams and game. There’s more than their share of those.

That's not the reason. There are 32 NFL teams, so it would only take them 4 weeks to play more games than a college football weekend.

Anybody who watches college football as much as you claim to would just concede the point. The playing field is completely uneven.

Damn right you did. And certainly not compared to college.

Say the Browns best the Patriots or Eagles. Meh. Say the worst team in college beats Alabama. Now that’s something.

The last is an extreme example. But yes, college has real upsets, the NFL doesn’t.

When the Giants beat the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl it wasn’t crazy or that unexpected.

But App State beating Michigan happens once a decade, at most. Alabama against an unranked team is like a 95% chance of Bama winning. The Pats can lose to anyone; in that way, the NFL is a lot less predictable.

Alabama had six victories by at least a margin of 4 TD's last year.

That's how many 4-TD blowouts there were in the first 8 weeks of the NFL season last year.

LOL

One college football weekend can have more exciting games than an entire nfl season. It works both way if you want to play that game.

Not the entire field. But that’s why you can actually have real upsets, unlike the NFL.

Nothing is more predictable and boring than the NBA, which you watch more than ever. That doesn’t bode well for your opinion on what is entertaining.

So? What’s your obsession with 4td’s that you randomly pulled out of your butt?

That Browns 31-7 loss to the Bengals last year sure had me on the edge of my seat. You were thoroughly impressed with the level of play.

That's not true and doesn't work both ways. The NFL has a smaller average margin of victory and more close games as a percentage. Watch RedZone between 3 and 4 on a Sunday and you'll see like 6-7 of them happening at once, out of 10 games being played at that time.

High school football has even more lopsided scores and an even lower quality of play. That must be the most exciting one!

So? Browns/Bengals is not exciting at all. Jets/Ravens is not exciting. There are very, very boring NFL games all throughout every single Sunday. There are very few weekends in college where there aren’t great games to watch.

Real upsets that no one watches until the last 5 minutes, because everyone expects Auburn-Jacksonville State to be a 56-7 blowout and watches the Ole Miss-Arkansas game on ESPN instead. It's fun when it happens though.

College football is a few amazing heavyweight clashes in the middle of a sea of unwatchable games.

There are a lot of blowouts.

There are also significantly more great and exciting games than the NFL.

Again, there are upsets in college. Not in the NFL.

I like HS football, it's fun to watch in person. I'm more mocking the idea that the kicker maybe missing a 20-yarder is what makes it better.

Next you’ll talk about pop warner since you have no point. Lol.

Do you prefer they move the extra point back to where it was since knowing what will happen next is far more entertaining?

I'd rather watch a close game than a hyped game. I'd much rather watch a close Jets-Ravens game than a hyped Florida-FSU game that ends up being 27-2. And in terms of the closeness of each game, the NFL has college beat.

I prefer unpredictability arising from competence (GW drive with 1 minute left) to unpredictability arising from incompetence (missed 20-yard FG to lose the game). College has a lot more of the latter.

The game shouldn't be decided by a place kick to begin with. I guess they should take the foot out of football, and call it something else.

College does have a lot more scheme diversity, which is fun. Student sections, school traditions, different types of players succeeding, all of that is awesome.
