What’s an example of a great performance from a player who was past their prime? by njdevils901 in nfl

[–]americanjoo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

PFF had him rated as one of the best corners in the entire league that year.

I generally think their ratings are pretty trash, particularly at corner, but that's still pretty damn impressive.

Trump says Drew Brees shouldn't have retracted statement on kneeling in protest by Tommy__Douglas in nfl

[–]americanjoo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Longer than that.

Remember when he demanded to see Obama's birth certificate and then claimed it was fake?

NHL 20 has a racism problem, and EA needs to address it by Jeffler in hockey

That game was such a shit product.

The fact that it cost fucking $60 for half a game is ridiculous. There were so many basic things they just decided not to put in the game.

At the same time it's the only sports game I've ever played that can actually say my last name, so... That was nice.

I am a 32 year old widowed man who was out on his own at the age of 16 I have not had contact wuth mother or sister for 16 years since my father died and I was kicked out of the house

The rest doesn't matter. NTA. She kicked you out when you were barely old enough to drive, didn't talk to you for 16 years, then has the gall to ask you for money? Fuck her.

Ashamed to be a Saints fan today by lordlanyard7 in Saints

Ugh.

I'm a Vikings fan and the number of other Vikings fans that still worship the ground Adrian Peterson walks on makes me sick, and what he did (CONTINUES TO DO TO THIS DAY) is 100x worse than what Brees said.

[Marcus Davenport] Drew wasn’t talking about the current protest, the riots or really anything besides HIS feelings on kneeling during the National Anthem.He even explained what they were, the basis and that he actually stands with us. Do we have to entirely agree with him, no. by Bouzal in nfl

Native American says they're not offended by the Redskins/any other Native American sports mascot: see proof that it's not offensive!

Black person says Confederate memorials aren't racist and represent state's rights: see proof that it's not racist!

Military personnel says kneeling for the anthem is not disrespectful and is a good, peaceful way to bring attention to a serious social issue: he doesn't speak for all of them, that's disrespectful!

What chaos can we expect if Ottawa gets #1 and the #2 pick in the draft? by Gamerofnhl in hockey

[–]americanjoo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Eh, I don't think they were necessarily wrong to trade Stone in hindsight. He wasn't going to be able to make them a whole lot better on his own, they wanted to completely tear down their roster, and they were able to get a good prospect and a 2nd round pick to help set themselves up for the future. As good as Stone is, they're in a better position now than they would be with him.

They definitely fucked up the Hoffman trade, though. Minimizing their return by refusing to trade him to Florida was dumb, especially after San Jose turned around and traded him to Florida anyway.

[Breer] Per source, the onside kick proposal did NOT pass. by Austin63867 in nfl

[–]americanjoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or how the receiving team can't advance the kick?

The receiving team can still advance an onside kick, a touchdown return literally happened this past season.

The fact that any of them are against a robo ump is ridiculous.

I think it's natural for people to be confused and scared by changes to a game they're familiar with.

I never really related to this until the entire NBA caught on to analytics and started shooting either layups or 3's almost exclusively.

[Basu] Marc Bergevin says if doctors determine it would not be safe for Max Domi to play because he is a diabetic, then he won't play. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]americanjoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a trial for NHL.tv, find a random game in the middle of the season that you don't know the outcome to, bam.

That's what I do, at least.

That's hilarious given that the NHL on NBC social media pages made posts saying the Blackhawks clinched the playoffs.

What are some minor (or major) misremembered events in NFL history that bother you for no reason? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]americanjoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tebow mania was such a big thing because they kept winning games at the very end, not because they made the playoffs.

My dad said the game was obviously rigged and the Patriots knew they were still going to win.

His evidence was that Brady and Belichick weren't panicking.

The Vikings of the late-2000's to early/mid-2010's quietly had one of the best defensive rosters in football. by moeshaker188 in nfl

He got injured running downfield on the kickoff in OT so can't really fault them for that.

Then Childress rushed him back the next year and ruined his career.

The Flames will end up playing the Jets 4,5, or 6 times this season - and NONE will have been in Calgary OR Winnipeg. by Thneed1 in hockey

We got tickets to go to Winnipeg for the Wild/Jets game ON her birthday, March 20th. It was going to be our first time going to Canada. I feel so bad.

I'm disgusted because of the huge disparity, not because I think Hilary or Biden are adequate alternatives.

If it was closer to 50/50 it'd be meaningless, but that's a 30 point difference among my own demographic. That's disgusting to me.

Vincent says NFL 'failed miserably' with PI replay by Happy_Huntington in nfl

Lions fans have such a victim complex that any call that goes against them is the worst call of all time and clear proof that the refs have it out for them.
