ILNFL sandbox thread, because you shouldn't pass up a chance to LOL @ the NY Giants

well, see, what a (successful) quarterback has to do is RECOGNIZE those complex blitz schemes and adjust to them on the fly. so while the defensive player has all year to learn his team's plan the opponent has a week or so. if the qb can't make those adjustments you turn into drew bledsoe. who has a more powerful arm than either manning or brady and is just as accurate but he can't recognize and decide quickly enough.

xpost I'm pretty convinced one day Tom Brady is going to turn out to actually have been a serial killer.

16) Atlanta Falcons (5-6)

It's like choosing up sides in a stickball game. On one side there's Jim Mora Sr., the coach's father, who agrees that Michael Vick is a "coach breaker." Captain of the other team is Vick himself, who shot the crowd the double-bird after he was booed. A recent entry on the Vick team is owner Arthur Blank, who told CBS's Tony Siragusa, by way of deflecting criticism from his QB, "I've got three No. 1 wide receivers and none of them can catch the ball." Then there are the TV experts such as Irvin who feel that Vick should "just be allowed to play the game," you know, as they do in the schoolyard. And on the other side, a whole bunch of stern faced types who say, no, quarterbacking is a trade to be learned, like glassblowing or metal working. Stick around. It's getting good.

32) Detroit Lions (2-9)

Someone sits in a little public address booth, giggling to himself, and when the visiting Dolphins' defense is introduced, he gets ex-Lion QBs Joey Harrington's name thrown in, to achieve the full flavor of the boos, and just to make the thing more nasty, he arranges it so that Billy Joel's "Piano Man" comes over the loud speaker. Harrington plays the piano. Now the Lions are in total denial. No one claims responsibility, of course, although the finger of guilt is being leveled at a guy called Bryan Bender, their Director of Broadcast and Production. What a team! What an operation! I wish I could move this team down to 35th spot or so.

xpost horseshoe totally OTM.

well I mean... those guys (mcnabb & moon*) are a lot less \hiphop than Vick. I think the fact that he's always wearnig white tees, do-rags, the tats, hair in braids, the way he talks, this stuff is as big a factor as the blackness. I hope I'm not making it sound like I'm admonishing ppl who aren't fans of his cuz that's not what I'm trying to do, I mean there are times when I wish he played a little more like McNabb. if you think the guy's a bum then that's cool, I have no compunction when it comes to saying that about a shitload of dudes! i just think there's a lot of racialists who use the fact that it's easy and acceptable right now to dump on his game as an excuse to say a lot of suspect things.

*moon has a hot white supermodel wife though. that's pretty gangsta.

I'm also no fan of Lord Brett trying to always force the ball into double and triple coverage. Now that's the definition of stupid.

*besides Brandon The Barbarian

Maybe I'll comapare him to Kordell and start another shitstorm from rabid Burgh fans.

If I keep it up I'm well on the way to becoming the Geir Hongro of ilnfl.

As a Pittsburgh fan I'm obligated to hate the Ravens. It's been harder this year because I really do like McNair. After the way he was chucked out of Tennessee he deserves a shot at the Superbowl. Since the Steelers have thrown their chances away I'm rooting for the Saints as the sentimental favorites.

"btw did you see the p. manning rainman moment during the last game? he's at the line and starts audibling and then realizes he SCREWED UP.

i.e.

"CHECK! Red-36, Blue-14, Ohio-3....checkcheckcheckcheckchek... BLUE-36, RED-14, OMAHA-4..."

and he has his EYES CLOSED AND IS POINTING IN THE AIR LIKE HE'S READING ALONG IN A BOOK"

I'd like to move ILNFL, very much yes. I think the name should also be changed, in that case?

also yes I love how much venom he said GARBAGE TOUCHDOWN with. i was SOFA KING bummed when that td happened. collinsworth = world class dbag, but also a very good analyst. so. gumbel constantly saying "turned over on downs" when teams were PUNTING kinda drove me cuhrayzee tho. i thought as a production it was pretty awesome just for all the things it DIDN'T do, it was so not-shrill except for deion and he is hilar so that's fine with me.
