[DJ_Tet]

[parallax]

yeah, im pretty sure

[DJ_Tet]

my team lost a super bowl to the patriots by 3 pts in a game that they confirmed to be cheating in, so, boo fucking hoo

Just in case you didn't get that.

but that could be three separate teams, so you'll excuse me if I don't give a fuck about a pats fan being hurt about losing a super bowl and not being able to watch anymore.

boo fucking hoo

Twist the knife mang  :'(

edit:  tbh I'm just glad some people remember how badass that second half was...it's pretty much known as Janet Jackson's titty and that's unfortunate.  Amazing football game.

It's always hilarious how the run up games to the Superbowl are usually better then the Superbowl game itself these last few years.

[DJ_Tet]

I was just using your quote to respond to Awesom-O's line about how good the Pats-Panthers SB was.

But yeah we've been pretty lucky on SBs recently, a lot of them definitely turn out to be blow outs but the close games have been memorable.  Pats-Panthers, Pats-Eagles, Pats-Rams, Rams-Titans, Pats-Giants x2, and Steelers-Cards just off the top of my head were all great games, and fantastic SBs. 

Going back a ways the best SB I saw growing up was 9ers-Bengals, but in the late 80's early 90's most SBs were pretty unevenly matched.  Definitely better matchups in the divisional rounds.

[DJ_Tet]

Exactly.  Anyone complaining about the quality of SB games the past few years obviously hasn't seen very many.

They were WAY worse 15 years ago.  Recently we've seen some amazing games.

[Shadow Mod]

49ers-Chargers 

Yeah. AFC was shit that year. Honestly though the longer seasons fucks things imo, you're lucky to retain a good portion of your 1st stringers in playoffs let alone the SB.

[DJ_Tet]

Exactly why it's asinine to even consider an 18 game schedule.  Especially with the NFL trying to act concerned with player safety under all the new lawsuits from previous players.

[Timedog]

That complaint is only understandable for NBA. NBA regular season is too long and boring, and the best games are always during the playoffs.

Threads should never devolve into "you weren't here as long as us/you don't like this thing or know about it as much as us". I hate that shit so much.

[DJ_Tet]

NBA gaf is worthless.  That's how they roll. 

I can't stand 90% of the posters in NBA gaf and I was one of the 'accepted' ones.  It's true that it was an insular and bullshit part of the community.  Completely paranoid too.

Real NBA fans welcome new fans.  The issue is when fans jump from team to team, but new fans should always be given a chance.  Even if they are Heat fans coming over just for LeBron 

[BlueTsunami]

I told you the 49ers weren't going to win the super bowl

I never had this problem and I'd join in a few times a year. I'd mostly lurk.

It's about HOW you post in the thread that makes the difference. If you come in, like you've always been there, and comment about the game like a regular watcher or poster, like you've always been there (hint: lurk plz), no one is going to bat an eye. Don't say you've ALWAYS been a lifelong Laker fan. You will spat on, and rightfully so. No one is going to be hostile towards someone who comes in and makes good commentary or good posts. It's all in the content and message of the post.

The same is true for ANY community thread at gaf. If you came in and did a shotgun MODERN ANIME SUCKS in the anime thread, you'd be pissed on. And that's the ANIME THREAD.

i dont care waht anyone says koshiba is literally the most beautiful women i've ever seen (over the internet) and i would gladly sniff her tits



wat happened to red scarlet anyways i think she banned me  :'( she posted here for like 3 weeks when she got unmodded wonder if she was ever hot

[MyNameIsMethodis]

also fuck u stupid football haters football is the best sport in the world. man united are a bunch of cunts and it's that word there that gets some bitches uppity like dragona even though cunt means different things to different people

[Himu]

Football (soccer) sucks.

Hey, let's stand around for 80 minutes, passing the ball around while faking injuries.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

hey lets break down sports to their one sentence cores that are mostly wrong

basketball:
hey lets watch a bunch of black people run sprints up and down a gymnasium

football:
hey lets watch a bunch of fat people walk and stand around while you watch 3 hours of commercial to 2 hours of game

baseball:
hey lets watch a bunch of white people stand around and pretend like they're doing something athletic

[Himu]

American Football is pretty bad. That's why rugby is better. Even a BAD rugby game is fun as hell to watch.

Basketball is great because like rugby, there's always constant action.

Baseball is amazing because it's so strategic, and unlike football, isn't down to the coaches but the players. Seeing a good pitcher and hitter duel is among the best things in sports.

Soccer really is mostly boring to watch, but it's incredibly fun to play.

[Himu]

[MyNameIsMethodis]

soccer is not the most boring to watch only idiots honestly believe that. maybe if you watch MLS it sucks but the Premiere League is ahrdly "boring" and it's the most entertaining and the only sport I still watch

[Himu]

i'm going by what i watch at the world cup.

i'm still going to go to the Dynamo games and support my local team.

[Himu]

americans don't have the attention span for soccer

but we have the attention span for baseball? Or for football which is a three hour game of 10 second plays?

my problem with soccer isn't the game itself, which is fun, but the RULES. Any sport that lets players get away with 5 fake outs a game is fucked up. Any game that lets players pass the ball for seemingly five minutes for "spacing" is fucked up.

RUGBY.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

thats his point. they can't keep attention going for 45 uninterrupted minutes they AHVE to have adverts because they're brainless and stupid

[Himu]

Er. That's just advertisers being advertisers and isn't indicative of the American people itself. That's how America's business model works: corporate saturation.  Welcome to capitalism!

[Himu]

shit sport.

[Himu]

And this puts things in soccer's favor...how? How are ads even relevant if we're talking about the sports themselves? Seems like a pretty bad straw man.

In any case, you're preaching to the choir as my favorite sports to watch are basketball, tennis, rugby, and baseball. Two of which aren't even standard American sports and are EXTREMELY LONG. I like sports that are all about strategic placement (baseball, basketball, tennis, rugby) and agility/endurance (rugby, tennis, basketball) that have constant action. Baseball is an exception because of the pitcher/hitter duel, but makes up for it when you realize hitters are not just hitting in random spots, but centralized zones to get to that plate.

Slower sports such as golf, american football, and soccer don't do much for me. In fact, it's only recently I even learned how to watch football. Football is boring if you're eyeing the ball, but if you eye the center, where the linemen are aka where the ACTION IS, the game because a lot more interesting and fun to watch.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

How is soccer a slower sport? The only people who would say that are people who don't watch it and have no idea how it works.

It's probably the fastest sport considering it's 2 halfs of 45+ minutes of uninterrputed action. Theres no "walking around" no "standing still". These are things dumb ignorant americans say.

[Himu]

Rugby is the fastest sport. 80 minutes and the game is based around keeping the ball constantly moving. As is tennis.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

There's also teh fact that literally every game matters in the leagues that aren't Shitty MLS. This is because they have two thigns:

A: A table system
B: promotion and relegation


You can't have teams like the Browns or the Orioles do nothing and just suck ass and make money in football. The bad teams get relegated to the lower leagues and better teams take their place. Similiary becuase it's a table every game matters because you're making points and instead of a useless playoff system where no games matter during the regular season except in teh last month, you're rewarded for playing well all year round and winning games.


American sports reward weekend warriors. Football doesn't and thats why americans can't watch it.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Rugby is the fastest sport. 80 minutes and the game is based around keeping the ball constantly moving.

So is football? Rugby has more stoppages in play than football.

[Himu]

That's cool. I'm open to soccer. Find me good soccer matches. I watched the World Cup and liked some games, but for every game I liked, they'd fuck it up and do a shitty game the next time. It's not always fun to watch like say, tennis or rugby.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Also unlike american sports, managers are actually really important and matter in football. You could have a team of ronaldo messi silva and other amazing people yet they won't win anything without a strong manager who knows how to change formations.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

if you want to get into soccer/football just pirate Match of the Day every saturday night / sunday morning. It's a once a week show that shows the highlights from all of the premiere league games. I'm not too educated in La Liga (where Barcelona and Real Madrid play) but i love PL

[Himu]

You say Americans have short attention spans, but any time a commercial break comes on during a sporting event people cry and complain, because we don't want to see that shit, we want the game. Have you ever watched sports with an American? Seems like a straw man to me, since we were talking about the actual sports, and you come in here with American attention spans, when Americans fucking hate commercial breaks.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i think americans HAVE to see a number go up otherwise they think it's shit. A football game to me can end 0-0 yet still be a amazing game. But to americans thats seen as "BORING ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ". fucking yanks.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

what do you mean no one scored how can my feeble mind comprehend that sports are more than just something you read about for 5 seconds on the internet

[Himu]

Yeah.  Americans hate commercial breaks so much, the biggest, most popular sporting event of the year has basically turned into a pageant of commercials.

I've watched a lot of different things with people of many different nationalities.  Americans don't handle downtime well in anything.  Y'all are a bunch of little hummingbirds.

Are these actual sports fans or "sports fans".

While you're using the super bowl as an example, most diehard football fans can't stand the commercial breaks and commercialization of the event. It's like I said on the past page. America business model is all about corporate saturation. This is mostly an advertiser issue, and less of a "American people have short attention spans so they NEED commercial breaks or they will LITERALLY DIE" issue. When we deal with clients at my office, they all want equal representation. They want a 30 second to full minute ad. Always. Because the next guy is going to come in with something else.

Even my mom watches the super bowl. Why? The commercials and half time. She does not give a shit about the actual sport. You can't lump all of these people in as sports fans, to do so would go against this very argument.

[Himu]

Baseball games are very often scoreless for many innings at a time.

which is why their ratings are shit and most people don't watch until the later innings

[MyNameIsMethodis]

the only reason why MLS isn't succesfull is because they can't advertise the shit out of it. Theyre already doing desperate things like putting huge ass ads on the score ticker becuase they can't have commercials or literally sponsoring substitutions by subway (not even joking). compare that to any of the other world leagues where they actually have some respect for the fukkin sport

[Himu]

My agency is currently doing work for the Houston Dynamo and advertising for the new soccer stadium. They're certainly trying.

ps: Rugby. USA vs Italy. Houston, Texas. June. Book it.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

atleast people go to dynamo matches...i think

the fucking shit we've had to see done to hockey just to try to lure in the yanks is tragic

Do you remember the glowing puck when Fox had the NHL broadcast rights?  lol indeed.

Pretty sure that was football(soccer) not rugby as we're talking about. Also it was England not Britain =P

please explain to me how rugby is faster than soccer and, just so we have full disclosure, i played Rugby (union) to a pretty high level at under 18.

Eh. It's my experience whenever I watch.

When I watch soccer it's usually passing, passing, passing. Rugby tends to have more action, and the players confront one another constantly. It's very in your face. Soccer for the most part is very spread out.

Though there were great tries at the World Cup!
