They obviously also have Gamestop in common.

Nope! To be fair, I worked at a GameStop on the West Coast and EB Games on the East Coast.

Still, fucking Steelers fans - they're not as bad as Dallas fans, but they're getting there. They're pretty insufferable, as well. I want to brick in all their mouths!

It's not hard to see Steelers have a lot of annoying fans; don't need to work retail across the country to know that. Same with Patriots fans although I bet everyone can agree they're more annoying than Steelers fans

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #303 on:** January 19, 2009, 07:25:08 PM »

Patriots fans are not as widespread as Steelers fans, though. For the most part, they stay within the confines of New England. Sure, you'll find a few here and there - as you would with any NFL team. But Steelers fans have entire bars on the Left Coast dedicated to their home team.

I feel pretty confident saying there are more Steelers and Cowboys fans throughout the continental United States than any other professional team.

Colts at #2? I would never have guessed that

I'd rather the Niners take a pass rusher or a big time WR. The offense is going to be Frank Gore heavy next season and having a deep threat on play action would mean a lot.

I think they need another RB too. Gore barely survives a 300 carry season and Foster is ok, but they are thin at that position.

Fucking KC Queefs set to hire Mike Jesus Shanahan to coach the team. Just when I thought it couldn't get any more disgusting to watch them play.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #308 on:** January 24, 2009, 06:41:19 AM »

The draft is pretty shitty this year. No one up there really excites me.

People are projecting the Browns to take either Aaron Curry (Wake) or Rey Maualaga (USC). Both are okay .. but not top 5 picks.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #309 on:** January 24, 2009, 04:46:56 PM »

I'm hoping Maualaga falls to us at 20...but yea, seems doubtful

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #310 on:** April 24, 2009, 04:43:39 PM »

In b4 Lions fuck up the draft $:-\$

Stafford

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #311 on:** April 25, 2009, 01:13:13 AM »

Stafford confirmed, $41mil guaranteed $:-\$

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #312 on:** April 25, 2009, 01:15:12 AM »

That's more than Russel's.

hope he does better.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #313 on:** April 25, 2009, 02:05:26 AM »

I'm sure he'll be better than Russel (lol) at least early on. Russel could still turn out to be a good QB, but he's been a disaster so far.

Problem is that he has no OL to help him, and no defense. Taking a QB guarantees we'll have to take more offensive players now. Taking Curry at #1 and an offensive linemen at #20 (if Maualaga isn't on the board) would actually help the dam team.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #314 on:** April 25, 2009, 02:31:16 AM »

$41.7 mil guaranteed

The NFL has finally reached the absurdity of the NBA 15 years ago in the draft. Anyone remember Glenn Robinson getting $100 mil before he ever suited up? The Rookie Salary Cap is closing in on the NFL.

Stafford's gonna need $41 mil to live in Detroit, he needs to build his own municipality there. Or take a private jet to each practice from Chicago.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #315 on:** April 25, 2009, 03:55:15 AM »

Aren't they changing rookie contracts for the '10-11 season? Shit is horrible right now. He's going to get $41mil to sit on the bench for half the season

Kara · « **Reply #316 on:** April 25, 2009, 04:45:17 AM »

no changing rookie contracts until J-Bust comes off Oakland's books

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #317 on:** April 25, 2009, 05:42:49 PM »

Jets fans going nuts

good luck. underclassmen QBs have a high bust rate

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #318 on:** April 25, 2009, 07:20:00 PM »

what the FUCK Lions

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #319 on:** April 25, 2009, 10:05:02 PM »

I don't think anyone in this draft is truly a team changer. Maybe the two QBs will end up being successful, but both of them are going into situation where the fans won't give them much of a honeymoon. Especially Stafford and his contract in a city that has economically imploded. Dude needs to go buy himself an '87 Cavalier or some similar piece of shit for his transportation.

Kara · « **Reply #320 on:** April 25, 2009, 11:05:27 PM »

When I saw who the Raiders' picked I didn't realize they had passed on STDtree to pick him.

GAF thread should have 8 million

's at that I bet.

edit: HOLY FUCKING SHIT. They drafted a safety with their second rounder. Every god damn year, I swear.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #321 on:** April 25, 2009, 11:40:59 PM »

Browns had an awful draft thus far. They got a couple of Mangini boys that the new regime was going to weed out anyways, then wasted their 2nd round picks on Robiski (LOL), another mediocre WR and a DE from Hawaii (you know, the mecca of defensive linemen).

Oh .. then they picked a center with their first pick. When they had a bunch of defensive players on the board and one of the worst defenses in the league last year.

Not that it really matters, it's a pretty weak draft overall (especially at the skill positions). Sanchez is the only guy I think has the chance to be a superstar. Percy from Florida will have a good year or two, but will break down pretty quickly (like most pure speed guys do).

Brehvolution · « **Reply #322 on:** April 26, 2009, 12:50:42 AM »

49ers get crabtree.

Then trade out of the 2nd round

etiolate · « **Reply #323 on:** April 26, 2009, 05:37:26 PM »

crabtree

FIERCE

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #324 on:** April 27, 2009, 10:18:44 AM »

I really liked what Seattle did over the weekend, especially when they picked up Denver's 2010 first which may very well be in the top 10 - hello new franchise QB. Curry and Unger will more than likely be starters and they got a burner with Deon Butler. According to the draft charts they got some good value in the later rounds too but you just never know how that shit will develop.

Taking away the franchise tag away from Hill threw me for a loop initially but after thinking about it, I suppose it's for the best. You can't have that much freakin' guaranteed money invested in your linebackers when there's other needs to address like the secondary. Even if they're able to resign him it'll at least be less per year than the 8 million he would've been making if he signed the tender which allows the Hawks to go out and pick up some other free agents like Ken Lucas or maybe even Derrick Brooks for a one year stint. Tatupu, Curry, and D.D. Lewis is fine with me and if he goes the Seahawks get a 3rd round compensatory pick. It's all good.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #325 on:** April 27, 2009, 11:43:38 AM »

I'm pretty happy with the 49ers draft. That second and a fourth was traded for Carolina's first round pick next year. All it takes is a Delhomme injury an it's a top 10 pick.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #326 on:** April 27, 2009, 11:57:24 AM »

Falcons draft was merely ok, wish we would have taken a better LB but oh well. Patriots draft was just sick tho- other teams need to quit giving Belichick what he wants.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #327 on:** April 27, 2009, 03:50:13 PM »

So, evidently Heisman running QB Chase Daniel didn't even get drafted, lol

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #328 on:** April 27, 2009, 06:56:09 PM »

Seahawks just signed Ken Lucas and Justin Griffth...man that was fast. Guess Hill's days are over in Seattle.

yea, but on the plus side, we did get do what needed to be done, which was get players to build the defense up.

I think Coleman and Elam are average, if not good players. What's the deal with Shaun Rogers? Is he happy? Or what..
