Poll of the Day > Sports Discussion Topic #169: This Topic Moved to Los Angeles

(+) Yeah! (+)

LOL at Diggs who says this was all in God's hands and God showed him the way, yet he won't leave the field because he's too busy posing for the cameras all over the field and soaking up the spotlight. VANITY IS A SIN!

Im certain about the 2 points rule because Ive seen it happen. What I dont know is what happens if the blocked kick touches a member of the offense and remains in the air and is caught by a defensive player.

Thats still two points if its returned, or is it more?

Two points. It doesn't matter who touches the ball first (if it is being returned, that is).

If the Patriots make the Super Bowl, then half of the AFC's Super Bowl appearances will have come from them, the Broncos and the Steelers. I brought that up because there will be a lot of talk about the Vikings possibly being the first team to host their own Super Bowl, but it's not like every team gets the chance to host.

I'd love to see a cold-weather Super Bowl, but I'm sure it will never happen. Even the one they did in New York that turned out to be pretty mild weather had the NFL obviously freaking out

Losing the game that way was just ridiculous. I'm glad I had no dog in that fight. I'd be super salty if I was a Saints fan.

I noticed the same shit lol. When he was standing on the sideline benchs mugging the fans like he's hot shit, he does a quick point up to the sky as if to acknowledge whatever diety as an ego check.

Most of the people in this topic are atheists (to my knowledge) and aren't good at football

Really makes u think

Lol I'm just saying, if you're gonna flaunt your hubris don't hide behind God. That shit is obnoxious. I have colleagues who do the same crap.

I'm good at football bitch

It's weak as hell but like 90% of pro athletes do it. Nothing will ever be as bad as Russell Wilson playing like ass in that playoff game against the Packers and miraculously winning anyway and saying God didn't want him to lose.

Agnostic and average, thank you very much.

You're Canada average for a non pro, that's America bad

I'll have you know that I had my best athletic moment in America. Tackle for a four yard loss.

Mind you, that was my only play... so you might be right.
---

My best athletic moment? A two run double. Oppo taco. Might have been a triple or more if I wasn't unbelievably slow as a large teen

My greatest moment was catching a line drive at second base. I put my hand up and snowconed it and was surprised to find it in my glove.

I think I've said it before but my top moment was turning an unassisted triple play in kickball since I never played any real sports. I played a lot of kickball and some softball and I'm a decent hitter but I'm a twig so I never had something cool like a legit home run

I almost played for Maryland but I got hurt.

If you count combined moments I had two homeruns in 3 games when I was 13

I paid $205 for a nosebleed seat with my friends who were also at the "Blair Walsh missed the kick game." The familiar feeling of the Vikings are going to lose again set in, which is fine. It's not the end of the world. I once again contemplated what the heck I'm doing with my life, and why the heck do I invest so much time, money, and energy into this sad team. Having fun watching sports is a perfectly good thing to do, but this is just too much man. I was sitting there in the 4th quarter and I made a resolution to deactivate my twitter and facebook accounts for a few weeks and sort of be a hermit and read a few books. The Vikings ended up winning in the most epic thing I've ever seen in my life, but I still think it's a good sentiment to deactivate and become a hermit for a while

Also i had several pretty great outfield assists and nobody would steal off of me when I was a catcher because I was the only kid who could throw runners out at 2nd base

Damn, you just saw like the craziest Vikings victory imaginable and you sound like the rest of us cynical bastards in the topic who secretly hate sports

So as we all predicted, we'll see Nick foles/case keenum vs Blake Bortles/ Tom Brady in the super bowl

Too bad Foles and Keenum are in the same conference so we can't get an all-Jeff Fisher QB Super Bowl, aka the #FishBowl

This has to be the weirdest AFC Championship foe that the Pats have faced. They scare me but at the same time they look so weak. I dunno what to think.

Imagine if it was the Broncos who Tom Brady is 1-3 against in the playoffs

Stupid Tebow had to win that game against Pittsburgh to ruin what could be a perfect record

He looked so happy at the end of the Steelers game...

And then he went to Foxboro and Brady punted on a 3rd down lol

Ah, thanks.

It's really quite absurd that two St. Louis Rams QBs are playing in the NFC Championship game. And you could even see Bradford in that game maybe.

You don't need to keep your racism secret in Trump's America

Really shows that Fisher was a shit coach

Damn the Giants got McCutchen. They really are going for one last even year before the bad times begin in earnest. Gotta say I kind of admire it but I hope they aren't good because I kind of want the Cardinals back in the playoffs this year.

Not really, they just have more to work with now.

Gurley and Goff were trash with Fisher too. Fisher obviously holds players back from reaching their potential. The Rams had weapons under Fisher, he just didn't know how to deploy them

Did they really? You just broke the news to me. That's cool. They still have other holes, especially in the pitching department, so I"m cautiously optimistic.

Will the vikings actually do it this time and win a super bowl for once? I usually make fun of the Bills, but I might add Minnesota to if they can't put a good fight in the next game. (are you really going to let a team that has a QB that is way too into skateboarding win?)
---

The Jays got Curtis Granderson, a fine player and he seems like a great, very personable guy. However I remember one time he said he thought the moon landing was fake.

I mean, they could have kept Joey Bats instead. Not like Granderson hit that well last year.
---

He hit much better than Bautista though plus they're different handed hitters. Bautista was really really bad.

Luckily they are paying him for his baseball skills and not for american historic space events. I wonder if also thinks that dinosaurs aren't real but mermaids exist.

I've always liked Granderson as a player. He kind of sucks now, but his contract isn't that much.

Shit is starting to get real in my Stardew game. I had some fruit that tastes like Coors Light and then my first vaguely romantic scene

The taste reminds you of sex. That's what it said for me.

Who did you get a scene for? The one thing I neglected in that game was the personal relationships. I barely had hearts for any villagers.

I'm pretty bad at the relationships too. I don't know what any of the girls like (well, at least of items I know how to obtain) except Maru, who I had the scene with. Not exactly my top choice but it kind of just worked out that way by default. I assume I can still build up other relationships but now that she likes me I don't want to be a heartbreaker. I hate being the bad guy in games with decisions. I didn't even have the balls to tell Haley she's a selfish bitch, which she is

The guys are hard to make friends with because if I do so I'm afraid the game will think I'm trying to date them

Outside of a couple of characters the scenes aren't overtly romantic until the end. One girl has a sort of romantic arc through the later heart events but even then it's just like a crush. Just be friends with people, it's not a big deal. Also 2 hearts isn't shit, Maru doesn't love you yet and she sucks

My mustache had ice in it this morning.

You have to eventually make an active decision to get romantic with any of the characters so you can be as nice to everyone as you want.

I have five or six hearts on Maru, where did you get the idea it was two?

I was mostly joking about the guys, although it's more fun making friends with the girls. All the guys seem like tools/jerks except for Elliott. The girls are much friendlier and less flawed

I was going to say the guys are all stereotypes (emo, jock) but then I remembered the girls kind of are too as far as their interests (one likes art, one likes reading). I guess there was only enough resources to make these characters one-dimensional for the most part.
