“What happens when you take a lion out of the safari and try to take him to your place of residence and make him a house pet? ... It ain’t going to happen,” Newton said. “That’s the type of person that I am. I’m that lion. The house that I’m in is somewhat of a tarnished house where losing is accepted. But I’m trying to change that, whether I’m going to have to turn that house into a safari or I’m just going to have to get out of that house.”

“I’m not saying I’m trying to leave this place,” Newton quickly continued. “I’m just trying to get everybody on my level.”

Rookie of the year? I've been thoroughly impressed with him :). Being a Titan's fan, I was also impressed with Jake Locker's 2 throws of the season :roll: . Can't complain though haha. Old Hasselbeck has really pulled through for us this year.

Why is that quote funny, Slov?

Now, had you coupled that quote with this video, and said it sounded like it was coming from Suh, then it might have been funny: NMA.tv: (Lion) Ndamukong Suh stomps player, ejected, suspended

Another point about Cam, relevant to fantasy football: He's made a point of saying that winning is far more important to him than stats or the records he's already breaking, and he would trade all the latter for the former. That's why I said FF is dumb on the first page.


Regarding rookie of the year, offensively, if you could combine two into one I'd vote for A.J. Dalton; but it'll prolly go to Cam. Defensively, it's gotta be Von Miller—he and that defense (including my man Elvis DOOMerville coming back on after these injuries he's had) are the only reason certain people can claim you-know-who "magic." Overall, I dunno.

You in or from Tennessee, ItzAcid?

I'm a UGA fan in college, so I'd definitely agree with the A.J Dalton comment :P. Yes, I'm from a small little city on the GA/TN border. Most people don't know the area i'm talking about, so I just tell them i'm from Chattanooga. Von Miller has absolutely dominated haha.He's been so impressive. Another rookie that has kind of suprised me is Nick Fairley. Yeah, Tebow baffles me (Assuming that's the magic you're talking about). His statistics are horrible, but I don't understand how he continues to win. I realize that the addition to the running game makes long, successful drives possible, but sheesh! It's not like they're succesful every drive, and there is a major drought of explosive plays in their offense, from what i've seen.

Have you ever run the Ocoee? Surely you have, it's right there. I knew/know a few people who used to run one of the whitewater rafting companies along there. Believe it or not, at this very moment I'm wearing Reef sandals I bought there nearly 20 years ago prior to going out. They're finally falling apart, with a few parts held together by Gorilla tape, heh.

As for the smug fundie, as I implied, it isn't really him working any magic—least of all divine. No way could they run the kind of offense they are and have a shot—and they've been winning by the skin of their teeth as it is—without that defense backing them up. Miller and Dumervil coming off the edges, D.J. Williams in the middle, and a veteran secondary with two lock Hall of Famers holding down the back-end. And that offensive line has been killing it, too, both in the run, which lineman love, but in the pass as well, allowing that non-QB to run around like he's in the sandlot. Like they used to say, "best fullback in the SEC." There are running backs and college-QB-turned-receivers who could do just as well or better in that system. Hines Ward, Antwaan Randle-El, Seneca Wallace (well, the previous two might be a little small), Dennis Dixon, Michael Bush, to name a few off the top of my head. Even LT has 7 pass touchdown for his career.

Did you see yesterday's game? He was like 3 for 18 at one point, then 8-24. Then in that second-to-last drive of regulation, the touchdown drive, every single one of his completions, including the touchdown, went to a receiver who didn't have a defender within 10 yards of him! Completely inexplicable. And they had their safeties 25 yards deep—what the hell? You know he's not a deep threat, that it's going to be all dink-and-dunk. And it was, nothing but shallow crosses and curls, back out of the backfield—and half of them were still inaccurate. The Bears made those completions for him. And, you know, Marion Barber. :/

No way they can maintain it long term.

Yes I love running/hanging out around the Ocoee. Those must be durable sandles, with the help of tape of course :P. Sometimes on the weekend i'll drive to this place that's secluded and has a waterfall just to calm down and reflect on things. It's a great area in my opinion :).

For football, I would say that Ladanian Tomlinson is a better Qb than Tebow any day of the week haha. I think it's becoming a mental thing for some of the defenses the Broncos play when it gets near the end of the game. "Oh no it's da magic!" Or maybe the coaches just suck at playing against his unorthodox style (non-NFL material). Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. Until he starts losing, I feel bad trash talking him too much. Agreed though. I doubt the wins will last much longer. The Bronco's defensive is just ridiculous haha. Other than their two old secondary players, they're relatively young too. Champ Bailey is still the man, and I truly hope he plays until he's 50 :P.

As for my team, I can't believe they almost had New Orleans beat. It was such a nice comeback and performance by Jack Locker after Hasselbeck was injured. He stepped up nicely, but the Saints had all the WRs covered perfectly on the last play of the game. All we needed was a 8ish yard pass!

They don't make 'em like they used to. Even then they weren't, but it's worse now.

I don't. But I guess that was made evident by referring to him as the "smug fundie." By the way, on that, have you noticed how much of a corporate whore he is, including for a company that uses child sweatshop labor to make its products? Some Christian. :roll:

Oh yeah, forgot to point out you jinxed Hasselbeck in your earlier post. 'Course, he's been fragile the last few years, so not a big surprise.

I didn't know about the corporate whoring :o . What's the name of the company? I'd like to read more in to it, and I did jinx Hasselbeck, didn't I? :P. Hopefully Locker can pull us through to a wild card, though it's unlikely now. Back on the topic of fantasy football, how are the playoffs going in the tron/fantasy league? Is the Welker/Brady combo still working INW?

Yahoo predicted me to win every game this season, I ended up losing 5. So them prediction stats are bullshit!
