I liked the e-trade ones. But there were too many movie and car ads that were the same as always. And the bud ads were very lame. The peanut one was funny.

I sorta wondered why the Patriots didn't go for the FG at the first or second quarter, whichever it was.
Now, I REALLY wonder why they didn't.

I told my roommates that Belichick's call to go for it on 4th and 13 instead of kicking the FG would come back to haunt them. If they weren't so greedy and sure of themselves the score would have been tied at 17 and who knows what happens in OT.
It's interesting how little coverage that call is getting, though Mike and Mike did mention it on ESPN2 this morning.

Why waste your time to post that you dont give a shit about football? I swear, you non football fans and atheists are cut from the same fucking cloth, you go out of your way to announce what you are, and no one gives a shit.

At least you clearly have no issues with announcing that you're a complete douchebag.

@Tamer Brad
Wow, having a bad day e-thug? Only pussies make personal attacks online, my comment was much more generalized. And please educate me on how that makes me a douchebag? By the way, I think the insult "douchebag" is soooo 2007, think up something more original.

I love how Plax predicted the patriots would only score 17 points and brady was all gufawwed at the low point score. guess what Brady, Burress was being generous to the Pats.

What I am wondering is, why all the vitriol from you two over my comment?
Posted: Feb 4th 2008 11:40AM (Unverified) said
Did you just dedicate three comments to my reply? I'm touched, dude, really, but.. wow.
Also, did you just imply that I'm old because I remember 1997? Damn, now I feel back for calling some thirteen-year-old on the Internet a douchebag. :(

"Why all the vitriol?" What makes you a "douchebag" for "generalizing"? Here's my take on it, son: "generalizing" is what bigots do. Ever heard of "stereotyping", hm? If not, let me give you an example:
"I hate how all you hypocritical religious nuts try to force feed us your fucking fascist 'morals' which all of you ignore whenever it suits your needs."
And I find it ironic that you called Tamer Brad an e-thug when you were the first to fling the "vitriol".
So have a great week, shove a football up your ass, and go fuck your mother.
Go Raiders, bitch.

Oh, I get it now, lol. Your all Atheists, which oddly enough has become a religion in and of itself because of people that should have been abortions like yourself getting on a soapbox. Man you guys are a grumpy lot.
Fucking your own mother is cool, you should try it, and the Raiders are the worst franchise in pro football. Now go die and become worm food as your belief dictates.

Swing and a miss. I'm not an atheist. Better luck next time.
Let me ask you something. What was the point of your original post? Rich was obviously trolling with that Amazon.com soccer book post. Were you hoping that by flaming him other posters would hop on your flame wagon and then you'd get to pat yourself on the back and think you're cool or something?
What gets me is you throwing atheism into your intial post. Where did that come from? Really, what was the point of that? It seems to me YOU went out of YOUR way to announce what you are, and from what I can gather YOU'RE the grumpy one here. There are obviously some underlying issues in your life that you have to deal with. Though I suppose this could all be just another case of internet anonymity breeding stupidity.
The Raiders are horrible. Thank you for pointing that out. I had no idea.

The Atheism thing was merely an example, I believe people individually are great, but in groups become apes, be it religion, sports, or this site.
What I have issue with is people like this guy at work, when the subject of football comes up and he is even within earshot, he declares that we all have room temperature I.Q's for enjoying it. Conversation had nothing to do with him, yet he deems it necessary to jump in. I should have explained it better, instead its now a mountain made from a molehill. And yes, you can chalk this up to just another case of internet anonymity breeding stupidity. Shame on us all.
