NFL 2014 & Fantasy Football

[garethom]

All going to plan in the AFC so far.

Steelers beat Bengals meaning Colts play Bengals, and don't get dickslapped by the Steelers again
Ravens beat Steelers, meaning they play NE
Colts beat Bengals meaning they play Denver

I think the Colts can beat Denver, but I don't think we can beat NE, but that's ok, because I think the Ravens can, and I think the Colts can beat the Ravens.

[dickman69]

Yup i feel that

Only time ill root for ravens
(but if they lose its cool too lol)

[ehbes]

that game was refball at its finest. League's tryna hold back the best team because they know it isn't fair other wise.

On to Denver

[dickman69]

Youre demented

[ehbes]

it was absolute refball. Revis was getting bullshit calls on him all game long

[ehbes]

this is why Bill is the greatest coach of all time

[dickman69]

Just saw the dez bryant catch

The nfl is completely ruined bc of replay/rules committee over the last 10 yrs, there is no going back goodell killed football

[ehbes]

Patriots should be -10 by kick off of this AFC Championship. I am expecting an absolute bloodbath

[garethom]

I somehow forget it, but every time the Colts play the Pats, I'm reminded of how fucking awful, arrogant and so, so biased the Boston sports media is. Fuck the Pats.

[ehbes]

how are you in tune to boston sports media? Most of the local sports guys here were shitting their pants for the ravens game.

[garethom]

You know the site Newsnow? Just a news site aggregator for various topics, whenever Pats games roll around, the Colts newsnow site obviously has stuff from Boston media on there, some of the stuff compared to other markets is just absurd. You'd think the Pats win every game in a blowout the way a lot of these guys go on.

[ehbes]

If any of the stuff you come across is written by Dan Shaughnessy immediately discredit it. He's the fucking worst writer in Boston and is so out of touch its crazy

[ehbes]

yeah i just took a look at that Newsnow thing for the colt. ESPN Boston and The Boston Globe will be your best places to get the actual feeling in boston. The Herald is a right wing rag that thinks Bob Kraft shits ice cream and bleacher report.....well its bleacher report.

[garethom]

It's like, whenever we're playing anyone else, the analysts seem to actually have a feel for things as they are now, are a little more impartial, look at things from both ways. Pretty much everything I've read this week from Boston media has been "we beat them before, nothing has changed, we'll walk over them again". Might well do, just seems a little lazy and unprofessional.

[ehbes]

Yeah but at that same time, Since 2000 there hasn't been a City that has dominated sports like Boston has. 3 Super bowls (with i think 2 more SB appearances), 3 World Series, A Stanley Cup (and another appearance), and an NBA Finals (and another appearance)

Sprinkle in the fact that pretty much all our team always make the playoffs, Its not hard too see why Boston sports writers are so arrogant.

[garethom]

Don't read too much about the other sports, but there's plenty of other NFL teams on a similar level of talent (basically always make the playoffs, have been in multiple superbowls, multiple pro-bowlers, etc.) that don't have that sort of reporting. Dunno, just winds me up whenever I see it, very lazy.

[ehbes]

very lazy.

Boston in a nutshell

[soronery]

so

mcnary then

An NFL player has been charged with rape by prosecutors in Indianapolis.

Josh McNary, an Indianapolis Colts linebacker, faces charges of rape, criminal confinement with bodily injury. No comments from the 26-year-old have been reported.

[garethom]

Yeah, some oddness around this case too. Apparently, when the police arrived he presented a load of stuff to them, stuff that could be seen as evidence. Whether this was meant to prove his innocence or help out the police and try for a plea deal, I'm not sure. Odd though.

[DrGatineau]

3 Super bowls (with i think 2 more SB appearances)

Two that were lost to the Giants + however many were to against other teams.
