OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, etc...Part VI

[John Mandalorian]

Oh he DEFINITELY stood on Brady's shoulders. Look at what he and his cronies accomplished without Brady. Nothing.

I will give him this--he somehow turned compensatory draft picks into a regular replenishment of talent around Brady. He let other teams spend gobs of money on Brady's supporting cast and just...went out and drafted/developed new ones. It worked like hell, so long as Brady was the guy at the center of it all.

I look forward to the New England Patriots being as irrelevant as they were when I was growing up. They had a member of that stellar 1983 QB draft class, a 1985 Super Bowl appearance, and they were STILL completely irrelevant. I hope they even go back to those silly white helmets and red jerseys with the Minuteman in a three-point stance as their logo.

The old uniforms are better than the current NFL Europe ones.

The making it work part involved getting Brady to play for substantially less than his market value. But there were times it didnt go towards anything.

The thing about Belichicks fraud (other than being overrated) is that "pretend to not care act" was just that. If you want to see how insecure he actually really was go read up on some of the stories about spygate. He was freaking out that his reputation would take a tumble.

but now he keeps coming back saying he should have his number retired, blah blah blah...naw man. You slammed that door. You don't get to just walk through it again like nothing happened.

its always just been about Melo and nobody else. At first id say its stupid that he expects everyone to reminisce about his legacy or something, but then i remember that he’s one of the most selfish basketball players I’ve ever watched - so then it makes sense. Dude still believes the world revolves around him.

That's over half the NBA if we are being honest. The only way you get paid top dollar, straight out of Gretzky school of not making 100% of the shots you don't take. And while I do miss the intensity and defense of the 90s and 00s game, I sure as hell don't miss iso-ball and backing guys down for 15 seconds and then putting up a contested 18 footer.

I feel like that was a direct result of everyone wanting to be like Mike. Thing is, of COURSE you wanted to get the ball to Jordan. I didn’t care at all for the brand of basketball that dominated in the Kobe/Shaq and Tim Duncan Spurs era (FTR I think Greg Popovich is a brilliant coach and good man though). It was such a letdown from the freewheeling 80s.

I never could really get all that excited about that Melo-era Nuggets team that had the good playoff run. Something about them just didn’t click for me. Maybe I just missed seeing Earl Boykins out there.

 

[MonsterMack]

How the hell is Merilatt still employed? I understand generating clickbait but the guy is clown personified

the combo of Kenyon Martin / Melo was rough. That’s always gonna be the “Thuggets” period for me. And they had zero way out of that Martin contract but we were so hard up to get anyone to come here (like you said earlier)

I never understood why they threw all that money at him AND three first round picks. Why not just sign him to the offer sheet and come what may?

And I loved KiKi as a player but he was an absolutely horrid GM. Went out of his way to not address that team’s shooting deficiencies so that they’d have to run a very specific offense, then hired far and away the worst coach in Nuggets history (Michael Cooper), which is saying something.

It really is funny how Browns are so much better with Flacco than [redacted] at QB.

Groper Cleveland?

DeShaun I KnowYou Want Some?

 

[sethro109]

That Browns defense is good enough to win them games. All they need is a game manager and they're set. They're built like a worse version of the Superbowl 50 broncos.

Edit: I didn't even notice there were games today. And that they're getting massacred.

Good one. MJD probably was probably thinking should I mention refs too.

 

[katfude]

Love Malone. Love the passion. Love that he gives it to the refs when they're being shitters.

 

[sethro109]

Watching Dallas getting thoroughly pummeled is very enjoyable.

 

[JWK]

You can't convince me Deion only cares about his sons when he hired Pat f***ing Shurmur as his OC

 

[willy702]

Watching Dallas getting thoroughly pummeled is very enjoyable.

Would have been more fun if Troy Aikman was calling the game. Other than that yeah, not too many tears shed when Americas Team loses yet again.

 

[dahrougem2]

How long has it been since Green Bay has trotted out a bad QB?

 

[MonsterMack]

Very happy for the Lions

 

[AnimalMother73]

Very happy for the Lions

We complain about the Avs…imagine not winning a playoff game for 32 years let alone winning a championship (or 3). Puts things in perspective.

 

[niwotsblessing]

f*** the cowboys. That was some satisfying football watching yesterday.

 

[Bonzai12]

I want BB to go to the cowboys so badly - watching him and Jerry go at it after every loss would be NFL telenovela.

I want him there just so we can see he isn't all the media has portrayed him to be over the years. He wouldn't get Dallas over the hump.

(Quoting a joke that went around on the internet this time last last season.)

After the loss Dak walking into the locker room and threw his helmet in frustration.

It was intercepted.

 

[Muffin]

Listening to everyone make fun of the Cowboys for not winning since 1995 really puts into perspective how absurd Leaf's 1967 really is.

They got out of the first round last year, that reset the clock
