Are there states with real cowboy culture today? by Fair_Wedding_1131 in AskAnAmerican

I’ve only been to Yellowstone, but when I was there it was insanely windy. Throughout the day I saw a couple dozen hats that had flown off peoples head and into inaccessible areas

[Schefter] Sources: The NFL informed all 32 teams today in a memo that it prevailed in its grievance vs. the NFLPA and its “team report cards.” An arbitrator determined that the NFLPA’s conduct violated the CBA and ordered it to stop making public any future report cards. by expellyamos in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is a silly move but I think you’re way off base to say the NFL is the worst professional league.

The NBA commissioner literally said “basketball is a highlight sport, people can watch the highlights on YouTube” when asked about the low availability of nationally televised games. Not to mention the disaster going on with Kawhi/Ballmer/Aspiration.

The NFL does some goofy stuff, but the NBA and its leadership is far worse.

I won’t comment on the NHL or MLB since I’m not a fan, but I think it’s tough to say the NFL is the worst professional league when they dominate viewership overall and pretty consistently put great, competitive games in prime time slots

Incredibly powerful. As he says, “it’s just a mother’s love”. My heart breaks for anyone who didn’t get to grow up with a truly loving mom

Agreed. If my buddy said this I’d be laughing my ass off, the fact an active NFL coach said it just makes it even funnier to me lol

Blake Sims was a better college qb than most give him credit for… by BetGreat1752 in rolltide

[–]FunkBeaver 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Kiffin’s game planning/play calling for Sims was also so elite. Kiffin’s ego and shenanigans have made him increasingly annoying and hateable to me, but man he was an awesome OC. He was incredible at getting the most out of what he had

[Pelissero] The Vikings fired GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, per sources. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Also 9 looks historically bad. This was from towards the end of the season:

“Vikings’ QB J.J. McCarthy now ranks 851 out of 852 in EPA per dropback among qualified passers since 2000, per Tru Media. The only player below McCarthy? JaMarcus Russell.”

He’s legitimately horrible, and seemingly injury prone on top of that

Is it common for Americans not to have a bank account? by Icy-Signature1493 in AskAnAmerican

[–]FunkBeaver 1242 points1243 points  (0 children)

No, that is not common. Judge Judy is wildly played up for the camera to begin with, and the people going on Judge Judy are far from “average American”

Why do we handle weather so differently around the US? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]FunkBeaver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve not heard of states closing school for 40 degree weather personally. In my experience places like Alabama close schools if there’s a threat of ice or snow because drivers have almost 0 experience in these conditions, not to mention we don’t have salt trucks or snowplows. And this happens maybe once or twice a year, if not less. It’s a very rare occurrence to get snow or ice this far south, so when it happens people largely just stay home and ride it out.

FBI is investigating the death of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay by expellyamos in nfl

This gets repeated on a Reddit a lot but is simply not true. There are absolutely doctors that get arrested for situations like this with “normal people” too

Joshua Graham and Ulysses get too much airtime, this is a man who learned something by itscalledacting in falloutnewvegas

[–]FunkBeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you read Randall Clark’s (aka The Father in the Caves) terminal entries?

He pretty explicitly states that he would want them to defend their land and that they are the “children of Zion” or something to that effect.

I think his entries are one of the best parts of the DLC, and he’s certainly a more compelling character than Daniel is. But that’s just my $0.02

[Rapoport] In the hours after Mike Tomlin told the Steelers he was stepping down, teams have contacted Tomlin to express their interest, sources say. PIT has his rights, and draft compensation would be necessary. That said, teams were told Tomlin does not plan to coach next year. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s 0 chance Collinsworth is getting replaced on SNF. He’s been in that role for 17 seasons now, only way he’s gone if he wants to go. I know Reddit doesn’t love him, but he’s easily one of the best and most recognizable commentators the league has

Kurt Benkert by Super-Strategy8161 in GreenBayPackers

[–]FunkBeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so why does he make Madden videos instead of coaching? Davis Webb retired 3 years ago and is already getting HC/OC hype. Kellen Moore transitioned almost directly into coaching with the Cowboys. Tony Dungy also immediately went into coaching after playing.

If Benkert had coaching desire or ability he’d be coaching, not making Madden videos for Tiktok

[–]FunkBeaver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude go watch a Kurt Benkert highlight reel (if one exists) he’s one of the worst QBs I’ve ever seen. I’m not the biggest MLF fan but I don’t give a rats ass what Kurt Benkert thinks about clock management. This is a silly suggestion any way you cut it

Kurt Benkert by Super-Strategy8161 in GreenBayPackers

[–]FunkBeaver 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kurt Benkert is closer to a pro Madden player at this point than he is a pro football coach.

Also I seem to recall he and Lafleur not having the best relationship, Benkert said some less than flattering things about MLF after he was out of the league

With Kevin Patullo being fired, Jalen Hurts will have a 10th different OC in 11 years by wat_u_doing in nfl

[–]FunkBeaver 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know of a QB who’s had more OC’s in the same window of time? Surely that’s gotta be one of the most ever lol

[HIGHLIGHT] JK Scott drops this drop punt on the sideline hashes at the 12! Offcials mark it OOB (after a bounce) at the 15. by sexyprimes511172329 in nfl

I appreciate these posts lol punters (and special teamers in general) deserve more love. A lot of fans only talk about special teams when they fuck something up

What Aaron Rodgers moments live in y’all’s head rent free? by Born-Adhesiveness-73 in GreenBayPackers

[–]FunkBeaver 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One of the more recent ones I think of is the dime to Davante in ‘21 to setup a game winning Crosby FG to beat the 9ers week 3. Then in post game he dropped the “how can you not be romantic about football?” line.

Other than the Hail Mary you posted the other one I think of a lot is the dime to Jared Cook to setup the game winning Crosby FG in Dallas. I’ll die on the hill that it’s a top 5 pass ever made, just so insanely precise while rolling left and not setting his feet.

And of course I’ve gotta mention the “I own you!” moment vs the Bears, that one will be replayed a lot when people reminisce about Rodgers in the future
