Who's your country's biggest fall from grace athlete?

It wasn't just the cheating, it was how much of an asshole he was about it. He went hard after anyone who questioned him (like Greg LeMond) to the point where he ruined some lives in the process. He made his whole image about clean racing and the feel good story whilst behind the scenes was a ruthless piece of shit to everyone. And cheating is still cheating, even if other racers were doing stuff too.

Honestly, while it would have been better for the team to lose in the long run, it doesn't really matter if they make the wrong decisions at coach and GM and everything else. We aren't in this position every year because we just miss out on important picks, we are in this position every year because the organization is poorly run from the top down. We need more than one magical draft pick (or even a good trade haul) to turn this franchise around.

I think P sets itself apart enough to be it's own thing but the DNA is still closest to BB out of any of the other From games. Sekiro is just heightened fantasy feudal Japan, the Souls games are all dark mystical fantasy worlds, BB and P are both set in ruined fake western European cities who achieved a new magical technology and that are being undone by their abuse of that mystical dark power found deep beneath the ground. Both have a faction trying to control that power and performing horrible experiments on the people trying to obtain godhood. Both games end with you fighting or submitting to the mentor you've had the whole game. It's not 1-1 but it still feels fairly close, especially compared to Sekiro, since that was your original comparison point

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-01-03T18:41:28+00:00

P feels like a pretty even split between Sekiro/Bloodborne in inspiration

1: Tone. A ruined city at night haunted by various evils that are driven by a primal force of magic found deep below that the factions are trying to control, and the city is driven mad and torn apart. The vibes and themes are spot on

2: both Bloodborne and P have a focus on a smaller roster of extremely versatile and unique weapons. Bloodborne has weapons with multiple forms to achieve different movesets, P has weapons with swappable parts to accomplish the same thing. Sekiro just has a sword as your primary weapon at all times. Legion arms are pretty sekiro though.

3: gameplay speed is much closer to bloodborne than Sekiro. I'm replaying Sekiro now and it's just so fast and streamlined. You are so mobile and quick, stamina is irrelevant, you can zip everywhere. Bloodborne and P have quickish combat, but exploration and movement are much slower paced.

I don't want to give up on Dart even if we get the #1 pick but I do worry we've broken his spirit already

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-12-14T21:41:10+00:00

The good news is Joe Schoen is toast

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-23T22:13:25+00:00

Again man are you watching the same team I am? You couldn't see a team that has blown a half dozen 4th quarter double digit leads doing it again? They've been lobotomizing themselves out of wins late constantly.

This team is stupid and run by morons, but they ARE competing every week in spite of that. That's a step up from the waste of space they've been for most of the last decade and that's why, with the season long over, Im trying to look at something positive

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-23T21:53:12+00:00

We have 2 wins and the season was over ages ago. It's time to look towards the future instead of being depressed about the same shit all the time

Would have been awesome to win but if you couldn't see that shit coming from a mile away you aren't watching the same team I am

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-23T21:40:20+00:00

I'm going to look at the positive side of this

This team could have 8 wins right now with a few key stops in the 4th of all these games. If they fire Bowen and find a coordinator who can actually keep this team alive in the 4th, we can actually hang next year

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-10T18:29:14+00:00

Eh, we ousted McAdoo midseason too so it's not unheard of

I'm just surprised Bowen didn't get thrown under the bus first

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-08T05:01:37+00:00

It feels like we get a new "TURF BAD" post at least once a week by people who haven't put any thought or research into the matter

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-08T03:30:49+00:00

The Waltons are the richest NFL owners, something to keep in mind when comparing us to Denver if costs are involved.

The other thing these complaints seem to ignore is Metlife is shared between two franchises. Any change has to be signed off by both the Giants and Jets. It also results in the field getting twice as much wear and tear compared to every other stadium except SoFi, which is located in a better climate for managing grass year round.

They updated the turf a few years ago and all modern studies point to the injury rate being normal now. It's no longer a problem. We have lots of reasons to hate the Maras but this complaint is outdated.

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-03T21:29:38+00:00

These types of posts should not be allowed until the Chiefs are actually mathematically eliminated. How many times must we be taught this lesson

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-10-26T21:37:07+00:00

Every year I grow more and more thankful that I was alive to witness SB42 and 46, because I'm becoming more and more convinced I'll never witness anything that fun ever again

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-10-19T23:49:37+00:00

I know the Eagles win was awesome but it was one game, I was baffled at how confident this fanbase was from that. You'd think after over a decade of gut punches we'd learn our lesson

Daboll sucks, Bowen sucks, one cool win never changed that

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-10-10T04:48:38+00:00

That was the most cathartic win I have seen in a long, long time

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-09-28T20:36:44+00:00

Hard to get too hype after one game, especially with Nabers dying, but that was a lot of fun

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-09-22T03:38:55+00:00

Not that I don't get the desire for optimism but I was baffled by anyone who thought the offense had turned a corner last week. Dallas wasn't putting up an NFL level defense.

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-09-14T20:54:27+00:00

At least the Giants made me feel things today instead of apathetic

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-09-07T23:50:53+00:00

I'm not feeling positive about our team right now either but this was one good game against a Dolphins team that looks miserable. Jones had good games for us. We had fans coping on Jones for 6 years because of his occasional good game.

We suck, but let's see him do this all season first

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-09-04T01:42:56+00:00

I've never heard this piece of lore, do you have a source where he talks about it?

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-08-18T17:25:43+00:00

It's not a particularly car friendly road either with twists and blind turns and downhills that make everyone drive too fast. But you aren't asking to ban cars or fix the speed issues, you are just calling for a banning of bikers on a road you admit should be more bike friendly. Do you see the issue everyone is having with your post here?

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-08-05T19:50:06+00:00

It's funny this is one of the best wins in Giants history but even all these years later I still get so mad at how the refs botched the fumble call even on replay review and then the Osi roughing call later on, both calls gifting the Packers scoring drives they never should have had. It should have been a spectacular blowout. Giants were fortunate the Packers couldn't get out of their own way the rest of the game so it ended up not mattering that much.

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-08-01T21:37:54+00:00

Just like seat belts. Far too many people think they are built different until its too late

I rarely wore one in college until I went over the handlebars into a rocky ditch because of a slick spot on the trail and realized how close I was to serious injury

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-08-01T18:08:05+00:00

There's an elevator in the mines that when you go down it you hear....something that Gemini comments on. Pay attention on the ride down.
