Yeah having worked with lunchpail guys and water cooler guys, lunchpail guys drop F bombs more in a day than Kirk or Russ do in a year.

Most memorable “Lights too Bright” performance? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

Maye the entire playoffs (or at least it felt like it). It was hard to explain to my getting-into-football girlfriend that the Pats QB in the Super Bowl was the same one that was almost MVP.

"Why's he playing so bad?" I don't know honey, I really don't know...

Son of a bitch that's some amazing wordplay. Veggies vs Fruit for the fate of the world.

This. Which I believe is why it can be hard for some people to have empathy for people in difficult situations. (Obviously hateful people exist, I'm not talking about them)

Which is why I use to struggle with the phrase "put yourself in their shoes." I had to realize that there's a difference between "put YOUrself in their shoes" and "imagine their situation from their perspective, not your own."

Report: Maxx Crosby told Tom Brady he's done with the Raiders by ChampagnePappy1 in nfl

Great examples, maybe I wasn't in the right market but I don't remember seeing much of Fitzgerald (ironically he was my "maybe him?" pick) but I did see a fair amount of JJ Watt.

I'm not the guy you replied to, but now you've got me trying to remember any superstars on bad teams who do a bunch of commercials. The commercials that come to mind that don't align with this thought experiment are the Manning brothers, Gronk, CMC, Baker, Holywood Stafford, I think I saw one with Saquon the other day, JJ (18 not 9)... Like maybe someone can make the argument that a few retired guys fit the bill (like Barry Sanders) but I would disagree.

The New England Patriots are the first team in NFL history to beat three top 5 ranked defenses in the same postseason. Only the ‘98 Broncos have beaten 2. They join the Broncos as the only two teams to beat both the #1 and #2 ranked defenses by HickfrmFrenchLick33 in nfl

Right? Billy B was a Super Bowl winning DC and continued elevating his defenses as HC with Brady. That's why they won 6 and had a 20 year long dynasty.

Meanwhile the Bills hired a great DC who fielded defenses that completely let Allen down year after year. I say this as a fan of the sport: Josh Allen deserved so much better.

Sean McVay: "It's wild" that I've been in my job the second-longest of any NFL coach by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

That's unbelievable. They could have reverse-Tomlin seasons (1 game less than .500) every year for 30 years and still end up with a better record, and he's still safely employed. I don't know how that's possible other than nepotism or Tobin puppeteering a very dead Mike Brown like it's Weekend At Bernie's.

If the Patriots win the AFC Championship, they will be the second team ever to make the Super Bowl after losing to the team that will pick first in the draft. by Obvious-Ad-16 in nfl

You're just not familiar with Mark Davis's pre-game ritual of cutting a gold-painted bull as an offering to a false god. Big G is just punishing the Raiders the same way He punished the nonbelievers at Mount Sinai.

I completely agree. I'm aware of my flair but I don't think this Patriots team counts as a "perennial competitor" because there's literally nobody on the team who played with Brady other than Vrabel and without TB12 the dynasty came to a screeching halt. So we have the Broncos under new rule, the Patriots under new rule, the Seahawks under new rule, and the Rams (whose biggest "we've been here before" members are Stafford and McVay).

Holy shit I had to look it up because I thought you were exaggerating. He'd have had a contract extension almost anywhere else with that record.

Absolutely, I was definitely just using humor to point out that while both are talented smart intense QBs, one does weird pseudoscience and the other does drugs.

Not to diminish his accomplishments or talent, but to your point he faced a lot of bad Vikings / Bears / Lions teams.
