NFC North Pissing Match

[Moonboots]

I'll take some action on that if you are interested.

Allow me to do a bit of research to make sure Polamalu will be back, and I will actually get back to you on this.

[Moonboots]

1.  (and it's not me)

Now... I can understand being of the opinion that it might not happen, but I really don't understand why people are so adamant that this isn't a likely scenario.  The Packers have some things to iron out during the bye, but I'd be remiss if I thought the Lions or Browns would give them any trouble.

And I'll go on record saying that the Ravens are a better team than the Vikings.  And as long as Polamalu is in the lineup, the Steelers are too.  Their D has been treading water without him back there.  Once Labeau has his #1 weapon back, things will get back to normal in Pittsburgh.


Unless Jay Bee can somehow convince me that Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu are as clueless in the defensive backfield as Derrick Martin is, or that the Vikings defensive backfield isn't something of a sieve, I don't feel confident in picking the Vikings over EITHER of those teams given their stout run defenses (#1, and #9). But don't let facts get in the way of a rabid Vikings fan base.



EDIT: And just to prove I'm not really a fan of making things up (listening, Jay Bee?) the Vikings are currently ranked 17th in Defensive Passer Rating (http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/2_999_Def._Passer_Rating.html), despite having faced Brady Quinn (ouch...), Stafford in his second career start, Shaun Hill (juggernaut) and Aaron "Erin" Rodgers.  A few bounces have tipped the scale in their favor during this successful first quarter, and good for them.  Things are probably electric in Winter Park right now.  But part of the Vikes' success is via smoke and mirrors right now.

That being said, 2002mualum, I'd be in for $20 on that bet, provided that Polamalu plays.  I'll take no more action on it though, since I'm down on working hours due to a battle with swine flu right now.

  Swine flu for you was inevitable.  Your only chance was with pigs, glad you 'got some'.  I like your little 'provided the long haired jag plays'.  Ridiculous.  Minnesota runs thangs - you know this. 
  "oh hi guys I can't put my money where my mouth is because I'm not working 5 hours, just 0, because I have swine flu.  Those 5 hours X $15 have just gotten me to the brink.  I may have to call Kat (that's what everyone calls my mom) and ask for a bigger allowance.  K thx!"

  Minnesota's schedule gets ROUGH for a minute.. then things calm down.  If we're at 6-3 or so, I'm not stressed in the slighest.  I feel a 11-5 or 10-6 wins this division (although I certainly hope the CONSENSUS does better).  Maybe Erin can improve this year (i.e. 7-9)

Hmmm... 9:49 on a Saturday night?  I'm in because I have swine flu.  What's your excuse, Jag?  Oh wait, 30 years old, single, in your parents' basement, watching porn and playing five knuckle shuffle with your cat.


Better click over from the MUScoop tab.  I'm sure your video is done loading.

Go Rams.

  Hahah, people in their mid-30s need excuses for typing something on a Saturday night?  'being in' is an assumption, but your comments indicate you believe it's "cool" for people to be away from MUscoop.com on a SATURDAY, SATURDAY, SATURDAY night.  You're an effin doofus, that's why you're in.  At your age, I was doing things you can't imagine in your wildest dreams - ask your moms, she knows some of it. 

  Alas, my excuse is because I'm a grown man about to go to bed.  Tomorrow I will go out for brunch, work for a bit, check MUscoop (probably will be scolded for being on here on a Sunday afternoon by a geekwad), then head down to the Dome to see my Twins play some more postseason baseball.

  Good luck with that flu, pansy.

With all due respect to Bentsen, I know grown men, and you sir are no grown man.  You are, however, one of the most entertaining little trolls I've ever come across on a forum.  It's almost unprecedented.

First, you cheer for the Twins and the Vikings, two teams I've been raised to despise. 
Second, you harbor unnaturally outlandish opinions about both of them and wouldn't recognize evidence and justification if it kicked you square in the nutsack.
Third, you come on here not to generate quality football discussion as an adult should (and most do, including your Vikings fan comrades in 2002mualum and mu_hiltopper who are ashamed daily by your presence as a member of their fan base) but to lob lame, sophomoric insults at two kids almost fifteen years your junior. 
Fourth, you FASHION yourself smart, credible, and witty but display the IQ of boulder with frightening regularity.
Fifth, my God, everything on that Minnesota hip-hop site is funny as hell.
And lastly, you just keep coming back for more.  I guess you get an A for effort.  There's certainly no quit in you. 

Congratulations, your past time is being the b*tch of a college-aged student on an internet message board.

Keep spitting that "wicked shizz" you do.  About my mom or whatever.  Hope you get this before you're all tucked in.

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood, but I'll put $20 on it, regardless of Troy P. plays.

Also, just so you know, that Ravens team that you are so confident in, won 2 of their 3 games against the Browns and Kansas City.

I know you think MN is a weak 4-0, but by that same rationale, the Ravens are a weak 3-1.

Good luck. I take paypal.

  Ahh yes, and here we have the essence.  You're a young twerp upset that your hero loves his teams.  Don't worry, buddy, I will scold your mother appropriately for your upbringing.  
  You speak of, "two kids almost fifteen years your junior" as though it's my fault that you're on this thread.  If you have an age issue, #1 display your age on your profile, which you currently do not, or #2 shut the eff up.  You well know there are people that post on this site (and run this site) that are considerably older than you... do you think your posts should be tagged as 'idiotic young kid retard speak'?  (it's not a bad suggestion).
  "They just don't make 'em like they used to" makes more sense to me these days.  You dislike my teams, because they absolutely own yours... I understand being salty... (but not quite in the same way you and your 'buds' do)... but understand you should do 100 Hail Mary's and 5,000 Our Father's, daily, due to the simple fact you're able to communicate with me.  
  "hey dudes... yeah man, I'm totally 'in' tonight yo.  swine flu! yeah, crazy, first saturday night i've been in since prom yo!  rock on guyz!  "

Sure, most of the people on this site are older than I am.  And almost all of them behave like it.  One continually does his best impression of Billy Madison, though.

#1 I'll display what I want, when I want to display it.  #2 I'll talk when I want, about what I want to talk about, and you'll enjoy it, old man.

I've been pretty fortunate in my life... eleven playoff appearances, seven division championships, four NFC championship games, two Super Bowl appearances, one Super Bowl victory in 20 years.  But if you feel justified in saying that your team "absolutely owns" that, I'd love to see some evidence to prove this theory.  Maybe you'd recognize it if it kicked you square in the nutsack.  Or maybe not.

And here you are running your mouth about my mother again.  That's sweet.


Damn, here I was thinking that you had conjured up those insults about my mom, and allowances and all that all by yourself, just for me.  I'm almost offended.  Or maybe you just recycle the same sh*t everywhere you go.

But the more I think about it, the more sense it makes that you are my hero, I mean...


Gosh, your rap style is groovy.  And you definitely DO slurp something tutti frutti.  


If God has any mercy, Chantz... if God has any mercy...

By the way, fair point about the Ravens' schedule.  Still, I feel like the Vikings are probably marginally better on offense, but the Ravens are a far more complete defense.  The interesting thing to me in both the Ravens and Steelers games will be to see if either of those teams will finally put consistent pressure on Favre and how he will respond.

Eh, no that is not the essence. That is actually the least important part of the entire post.  The essence is that you aren't clever, no one believes that you had friends in college or now and your use of retards, idiots, and your mom jokes doesn't impress us.

Co-sign, Rawdog. 

Should be some good games today.  I'm a little miffed that we get DET-PIT for the early game on CBS.  Cincy-Baltimore should be good.  Atlanta-San Fran should be good as well. And New England-Dever in possible inclement weather should be a fun one to watch.  Given that I'm not allowed to leave this house, I guess I'll have to sit inside all day watching football in HD and surround sound while following my fantasy teams.  Tough life to live, having the flu.

If MU Scoop "Jay Bee" is really an act....than this is a good act that's getting a little old.

If "Jay Bee" is an accurate reflection of the real life J. Bauer....seek help.  I don't think you realize how moronic you sound.
