[Max Payne]

Pats vs Giants is making history, it went from being on one channel that almost no one has to being on NBC, and CBS, first time this has happened since Superbowl 1.

This might be the highest rated game in NFL history outside any SB game.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

^ ur garbage.

[Max Payne]

And the Pats are playing on 3 channels at the same time, only time in NFL history.

I speak the truth.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

I also speak the truth, ur garbage.

[skybrick]

Its going to kill their ratings though, the only reason why this is going to break records for most watched game is because... hell... they are making us watch it. Besides Pats and Giants fan there is no reason why anyone south or west needs to watch this game. I think I'll find myself watching some ACC basketball on FSN if its on.

[Max Payne]

I also speak the truth, ur garbage.

oh i get it, working on the post count.

[skybrick]

oh i get it, working on the post count.

what the fuck are you talking about.

who the hell is making you watch it?

did you plan on watching dateline or 48 hours?

the patriot hating is almost unbearable at this point.

if anything, you and the rest of the nfl fans should be happy, i live in maine, and i wasn't even going to be able to see this game because the NFL doesn't count Maine (New England) part of the New England Patriots home market.

That also meant, that even though the Giants play in NJ, and have training camp in Albany, no one outside of NYC was going to see the game either. All because the NFL wants more money, that isn't fair and this is a win for the fans.

Anyone who watches this game, is doing it because they want to, plenty of other options on tv.

what the fuck are you talking about.


That was intended for the dude being a complete douche, you just happen to post yours before mine got in there.

[skybrick]

I bet you love it too.

No Patriot fans should be happy

I agree on the part of being better options.
That was intended for the dude being a complete douche, you just happen to post yours before mine got in there.
Yeah I figured that when I realized that our post time was the same.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

no it wasn't for post count actually... It just happens to be me callin' u garbage cuz I find it funny. post count hahaha. ur foolish.

[Max Payne]

16-0 baby, relish it with me.

no mustard this time tho

[IKickAssForTheLord]

see there u go... thats what I rather hear.

[Knight]

I'm not watching the Pats game. Not because I hate the Patriots, but because it's a friggin' meaningless game to anyone who's not a Pats fan.

The Patriots vs. The New York Giants backups.

Wow! How exciting. I mean who needs a game of competitive football where actual stakes are on the line when you can watch Tom Brady pad his stats against a team who's looking to get some rest for the playoffs.

:zzz:

There certainly is better options on TV. Having the TV off altogether is a better option come to think of it.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Redskins getting in the playoffs would be something special for those fans with the season they've had thus far and I think it would be 2nd time in 3 years that 3 teams from the East made it or maybe the 3rd time in 4 years.

Far as the Pats game goes. Coughlin has been playing the media all week about whether or not hes going to go all out in that game. I dont think he should simply because that team is banged up and they have nothing to gain. You want to use it as a bye week almost. Get your starters in, play a series or two and get them out in order to rest them for the wildcard weekend IMO.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

yea... like the last 2 years or was it 3? one and done.

[H78]

I was listening to WEEI coming in this morning (ugh) because Lew and Mike aren't on this week on 1510, and I have to say...this "America hates the Patriots" shit is getting pretty old.

I don't care what excuses people use: Videogate! Belichick's attitude! They run up the score! Brady is shooting for records!...No matter what the excuse is, the real reason why fans of other teams hate the Patriots is simple.

They win. A lot. They win trophies and they win big games while teams in most other cities are hoping they'll just make the playoffs.

Basically, fans of other teams hate the Patriots for the same reason I hated the Cowboys and Yankees growing up - they always win.

What annoys me though is it's fine if you hate them for that reason. I mean, no one but home fans wants to see a team win over and over and over again. But don't bring up some other hapless arguments and weak points as to why you hate the Patriots.

The truth is the truth...the Patriots cheated with the videogate thing. They run up the score. Brady wants to break Manning's record and Belichick can be, at times, a douche bag. You know what, though? If the Pats were 6-9 right now no one would give a shit about any of that.

I hate the Yankees because they beat up on my Red Sox for years. I hate the Cowboys because they always won in the 90's and they beat up on the Niners. I don't, however, try to create any other reasons as to why I hate them other than the fact that I'm envious of those teams' respective championships.

Now if only other people would take their heads out of their asses and admit they're just sick of seeing the same team winning all the time, all would be good. Enough with all the lame excuses about things that have been done by dozens of other teams for years (running up the score, recording signs, going for records and having a media-unfriendly coach).

They're 15-0, going for 16-0. I can see why that sucks if you're, say, a Cowboys, Rams, Packers, Seahawks, Colts, Dolphins, Panthers, or WHATEVER fan. Just don't try to act like you hate them for anything else other than their success. Again, if the Pats were 6-9 right now, no one here or anywhere else would be bitching about this team they way they are right now. Success creates envy.

[Joker]

I could care less if they win or lose as long as they dont score more than 3 points.

[Joker]

Can the Giants pull it off?If they can score here after the half I think they can.

[Scaremonger]

Is Eli unstoppable?

[Max Payne]

cant believe the pats are letting these guys beat them, my money says there still dumb enough to think running inside will work.

[skybrick]

Game is still in reach but as long as the Giants keep answering back they should be able to win.

Too bad steelba isn't here to see this. Where is that guy anyway hasn't posted in over a week.

[Max Payne]

lets see if the pats defense shows up....

[LgOr]

Choke. Congrats Pats

[Max Payne]

nothing short of fucking awesome..

[Joker]

Patriots are such a tease.

[Max Payne]

i guess my favorite part of the game is the fact that it was a game, really entertaining.

[Knight]

Again, if the Pats were 6-9 right now, no one here or anywhere else would be bitching about this team they way they are right now. Success creates envy.

Why do you let it bother you so much? The Patriots are 16-0, ok, great. No need to write a thesis stating the obvious about how people hate winning sports teams.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Really entertaining game last night.

G men showed up to play. Eli had probably the best game of his career IMO. Only made one mistake which was costly and turned into 7 points. Nevertheless, a great game.

Should give the Giants some momentum heading into the playoffs.

[Revenant]

16-0* ** ***

*Caught cheating
**Most of their fans are bandwagoning douches
*** Penalties always seem to swing in their favor, no matter how bullshit it seems..

[Max Payne]

wow, fucking wow.

don't see too many bear fans around this year, you your self jumped off there bandwagon weeks ago, and it would appear as if you pawned of your ticket to todays game.

real champ, good timesand bad times, and since 1985, majority of it had been bad times.

***caught cheating week one with no outcome on the game, killed all but 4 of the remaining 15 teams.

the arrogant and uneducated need tostop with the envious behavior, and respect it for what it is.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Gotta say what Rev is doing is basically a VT move or worse a typical ESPN troll.

Not sure why hes doin it. Its not like for the last 3 years, everyone from the woodwork has gone out of their way to talk repetitive shit about the Bears outside of their QB situation.

[Revenant]

I don't have to like your team...and from the looks of this board, most of us don't like em either..

I couldn't go one game today without hearing them talk about tom brady for at least 5 minutes..

[Revenant]

wow, fucking wow.

don't see too many bear fans around this year, you your self jumped off there bandwagon weeks ago, and it would appear as if you pawned of your ticket to todays game.


Hard to go to a game when you aren't even in the state they are playing in now isn't it?

Yea the Pats are good, they didn't win games without being that..obviously, but I'm not gonna be the next one to get in line to slob on the Pat's knob,

and frankly max, anything you say about people being uneducated, is damn near laughable, if I remember last year you started a thread purely to celebrate your fantasy football championship....

[Max Payne]

I don't have to like your team...and from the looks of this board, most of us don't like em either..

I couldn't go one game today without hearing them talk about tom brady for at least 5 minutes..

I wonder if you pulled this same crap in 04 when Manning was doing the same thing Brady did this year?

Brady is being talked about because he earnt that, as a football fan you should just respect it and let it be, if it annoys you beyond belief, I know there has to be something else to watch...

Its true, success brings envy, and dislike.

Everyone loved Brady and the Pats leading up to 2001 SB, my times have changed.

Farve completed history this year on several QB milestone records, on top of a 13-3 record, Favre starting this week, or next week, will he keep his active streak alive? But no one is giving him or the Packs a shit time, but it's ok.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

@ Rev

Is that the fans fault?

Fact I'd rather they talk about the Colts or anyone else other than the Pats. The myth that the media loves the Pats is fools gold. They hate the Patriots as much as you or anyone else but they have to cover them.

[Revenant]

I wonder if you pulled this same crap in 04 when Manning was doing the same thing Brady did this year?
.

Actually I also found it irritating, if I'm watching say, the Rams vs the chargers, I don't need to hear about a player from another team non stop, it's overbearing and frankly annoying.

let me clarify the fan statement, most of the pats fans I know or I have run into, they have been annoying, that's why I said most, and I noticed a lot more pats "fans" around even the midwest once they started winning. And frankly I think Max Payne exemplifies that annoying, irritating fan I'm talking about..I don't have a problem with you or what you've said about the pats, you've let this season go by without being smug as hell, so hats off to you on that.

I've never liked the Pats, never will, I didn't root for them then, I'm not gonna change that.

uneducated in regards to atleast understand what the hell is it your talking about, you wouldn't see me walk into a room full of scientist and try and tell them how physics is unethical, because it doesn't make sense, and id be talking out my ass.

Ass for not being able to get to a game, your right. But being a regional team and not constrickted to one state says something about the fan base, not to mention atleast i like my team for being my team, would of been too easy to be a niners, cowboy, giants, redskins or who ever you want to pick fan back when the pats were no different then the phins are now.

i dont need to prove a thing to you, you would give anything to have a undefeated season on top of a spy gate scandal, because deep down, you know it was bogus and that everyone does something that would be considered cheating.




totally agree with red, your doing nothing short of acting like VT the past few months, and for no reason because you hate the pats, and whar for? what did they ever do to the bears? must of been that 46-10 ass whipping SB emploding your head.

[Revenant]

Well, why am I annoying? Is it because I gloat? Is it because Im arragont? I think it's in the eye of the beholder, Im egged on by alot of the coments around here that I just don't have the strength to ignore, you watch, Steelba or Knight will come in here, probably read one of my post to you out of contect, say I bring homerism to another leval, and then I respond to that, and there you have the circle that is the constant Pats bashing.

Do not deny it, I called the pats great season, I called the Bears being average, and I clearly called the Pats being better then the Bears, to you, not here on the board but through fantasy contact, and you said "well see, Bears are fully capiable of being great, and the Pats are loaded too no doubt"

Something like that, and it made you angry or something because you keep with this Pat hating.

I don't like the Pats, doesn't mean I don't think they are good.. I don't like the packers but I can respect the year they've had, I'm a chicago blackhawks fan and I hate The Detroit Red Wings, but I can still respect the team, rivalry aside.

Yup Bears dissapointed, not a doubt in anyone's mind in the city of chicago, but I'm not gonna cry about it and throw down my bears colors and try to jump on the Pats bandwagon(It's already full anyway). Bears won the last two games and we'll take it into the offseason and try to rebuild, just the way it is. I love my team, but I criticized them all season, last season, and after they got trounced in the SB, hell if you've ever said a critical thing about your precious pats, hell you whined all of last year when Brady didn't make the meaningless pro bowl and Tony Romo did..

segwayed from patriot bashing, to personal insults.

real nice

thought I'd mix it up, now if you got some free time, I've got some more insults, some regarding you being a homer, some questioning your sexuality, and I was going to follow that up with some good YO MAMA insult jokes...

[Max Payne]

I wonder if Lance Briggs will take 7 mil a year to play for the Pats?

[Revenant]

I wonder if Lance Briggs will take 7 mil a year to play for the Pats?

maybe he would..

oh wait you wanted me to be insulted and angry because you said that right?

hold on let me put on my angry face...

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Redskins are heading to the playoffs. Congrats to them even though their arent any Skin fans on the board to my knowledge.

That Todd Collins guy looks pretty good for a backup journeyman. I wouldnt start Jason Campbell in the playoffs even though I bet Gibbs will make that mistake. Sure hes your starter but you gotta go with the hot hand IMO.

[Knight]

and there you have the circle that is the constant Pats bashing.

Wouldn't be bad to get Campbell some playoff experience either...Skins are a team on the way up it seems, but they aren't a NFC conference champion team yet so building up a guy who will be most likely leading you in future playoff endeavors isn't bad either..

[Max Payne]

maybe he would..

oh wait you wanted me to be insulted and angry because you said that right?

hold on let me put on my angry face...

why would you be insulted for a player to leave?

maybe you should be insulted that players like Briggs and Colvin don't want to play for the Bears.

[Max Payne]

:mecry:


if you got that far into one of my rants, why would you go out of your way to prove me right?

16-0, I and many others have nothing to cry about.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

I wonder if Gibbs sticks around on his own will next season or does he bolt back to Nascar.

He seems to have gotten ahold of the game since being back but like Parcells last season. The season wears on coaches, especially older ones.

[Knight]

Collin hasn't played in a decade and he looks 5x better than Campbell ever has.

Campbell needs to sit his ass on the bench and learn something. If you're going into the playoffs you stick with the guy that's hot. The post-season isn't the time to 'learn about what you have'...that's what preseason's for.

[Revenant]

why would you be insulted for a player to leave?

maybe you should be insulted that players like Briggs and Colvin don't want to play for the Bears.

players come and go on every team, if briggs stays, great, if he goes, well then time to move on.. it's the nature of every sport..

16-0, I and many others have nothing to cry about.

Yet you've been crying and bitching at others on the forum all season.

I don't think collins is gonna stand well against the best of the NFC frankly, Skins aren't a contender, So I'd say send out Campbell, but yea, it's true, Collins does give them the best chance to win.

[Max Payne]

Yet you've been crying and bitching at others on the forum all season.

Yeah I heard he was talented in many areas of the male anatomy :D

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Speaking of Parcells. This will be his 3rd time around in the AFC East, this time as a VP of operations or whatever the title is. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what he does to rehaul that Miami team.

Only place to go is up. I'd keep Ricky Williams if for only an insurance policy due to the injuries at that spot and hope he doesnt dope out. Then again, I dont think Parcells will keep a guy like that around.

[dead breed]

Damn Newfie...:D

Damn Revenant ...:D

[cmurdur]

dirty bird power!

yah againist Seattle.
This is why you gotta miss steelba, he would have provided us with an excellent rant. Hopefully he wasn't the one who died from that lap dance from getting boozed up.

The pluses are the apartments size, it's a 5 minute walk or 2 minute drive away from a mall, a liquor store, a brand new movie theatre (went and saw AvPR there last weekend), and a huge grocery store. Then negative is it's right behind a police station, well it's 4 blocks down a 1 way street from it anyways :cussing:

But VErizon got my DSL working again :cheerlead
