Football can't start enough

[dumpstralmannow]

Baseball is boring beyond belief. No hockey for a while. Thank God the NFL is almost here.

 

[NYR31]

Baseball is boring, yes, but the NFL is terrible as well. Just a bunch of clowns flexing their biceps and acting like morons after every play.

 

[theProdigy223]

I'll be looking forward to your "Eli blows until the last drive of the game" posts

 

[Ranger71]

I didn't watch any baseball for like 15 years but now that the O's are back in contention I got the MLB package.lol

 

[Messiah717]

It's boring because the Yankees and the Mets aren't very good. New York is a huge baseball town and to think or say otherwise is foolish. As or football I always look forward to it because I'm a huge fan and unlike other sports I can watch games even when the Giants aren't involved.

 

[gonnabluffanyway]

I'm a Jets fan and a Mets fan, that should explain why I cant wait for October 3. My girl is an Oriole fan and a Penguins fan. It gets weird.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

The NFL is not terrible. It is by far the best regular season sport. Every game is huge and you can analyze it all week. There is a reason the NFL is a money making machine. The product is amazing. Yes, the players are morons with behavior. I ignore that and watch the games.

 

[Messiah717]

It's a great product that has to for sure clean up the behavior and culture as compared to the other sports. That being said the ratings for NFL games are just through the roof. Stations don't even bother putting programming of any substance up against it. On Sunday and Monday nights people just tune into the games just to have it playing on the televisions even if they're not sitting and watching.

Couldn't agree more !

[theProdigy223]

By the way, I dont necessarily buy the argument that baseball is boring. Baseball is a great game and has been enjoyed and celebrated for generations. The lack of interest in baseball today is more a reflection on today's society. Everybody wants instant action, instant gratification, instant news, etc. The Twitter generation can't be bothered with a baseball game. Yes it's a slower sport but that doesn't make it boring. Just that nobody wants to wait anymore.

And this is coming from a Mets fan who hasn't seen his team play a meaningful game since 07.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

These kids are absolute losers with twitter. They announce the most meaningless events of their day. Just ate breakfast. Just took a dump. Just saw a weird person in the store. Will somebody talk to me.

Pathetic.

 

[theProdigy223]

Completely agree...If you aren't an important figure or a news beat reporter and you actually post things on Twitter you need to get a life

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Interesting view since as adults we spew our opinions on what some would cosider a waste of time...on a message board.

On a sports message board you offer opinions about sports. Usually a specific topic. These losers on twitters just report meaningless, stupid details of their everyday life that nobody freaking cares about. Like, I'm bored, I'm hungry, I hate you, I just had a great workout.

Just another example of the pathetic youth in this country and have incompetent they are.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Every generation can and have said the same things about the younger generation. Hell I remember my grandfather bitching about kids talking on the dam overrated useless thing called the telephone..." Back in my day we didn't sit in the house on that corded machine. ..went outside on our bikes and talked in person"

This generation has gone way beyond that to the point where they are an embarrassment. I can't tell you how many times I see people who go to the gym or for a walk and can't do it without talking on the stupid phone. Pathetic. I saw two losers in a restaurant who both started texting on the phone. They were so pathetic they couldn't even talk to each other.

The girls are the worse and IMO it's leading to young obesity. The amount of fat, young girls in H.S. is starting to get out of control. They sit inside all day eating cookies and ice cream, texting instead of getting their fat asses outside for some exercise.

HAHAHA!!

 

[NYR31]

Twitter is an absolute embarrassment to society and all these people who use it to tell us how they just woke up from a nap are a disgrace. Facebook is not much better.

 

[theProdigy223]

Social media is one of the worst things to happen to society. I think the instagram and picture things are worse. NOBODY is in the moment anymore, if something cool is happening or somebody is doing something interesting its "I need to take a picture and upload it to show everyone else how good of a time I'm having. I hope I get some Likes!"

People are more concerned with letting the world know they are doing something cool rather than actually enjoying what it is they are doing. Case in point: people taking pictures of their god damn dinner and posting it on the internet.

surprised Al doesn't know the difference between having a hockey conversation and people posting a "selfie" on FB/Twitter followed by "i just got up from a nap"

 

[Messiah717]

Facebook became another hideous example of how self important people can be.

Just as surprised that 31 takes generalizations so easily

the dimished mind of a soon to be 40 year old

 

[Puckmeat]

So, I'll see your NFL, and raise you a raspberry!!! Thppt!! But seriously, there is a monumental difference between this here that we do, and twitter, which, from what I understand is something about hashbrowns - I just got my tooth pulled and it sucks. I don't get it all. No one needs to know I'm down to 31, but I do like hashbrowns...

I do tend to agree with whomever it was that said baseball isn't really boring, its our instant gratification society that we live in, however, I will say they they could jazz it up a little. Blernsball anyone?

 

[dumpstralmannow]

I work with young people every year and what I think Al doesn't understand is all these young twitter losers are either never going to get a job or will end up doing something they hate because they don't have the work ethic to find something they like. Most of the kids today take idiotic majors that are easy. Facebook and twitter are just ways for the youth of this country to avoid working towards being successful and posting useless crap about their everyday lives which nobody freakin cares about. The majority of people on this board probably have gone through several career changes, never gave up and have found something that has made them successful. When you have traveled enough roads, accomplished enough, you can chat on boards like this as a break. When you haven't accomplished jack shit like most of these kids, you should be working towards building a career path, not wasting time posting the last time you took a dump and what it looked like. If you go to the library in the summer, you see tons of Chinese and Japanese kids doing work. I guarantee they will get a job when they are older and twitter and facebook won't be a part of their daily activities.

The simple reality is the new generation of this country are soft, free loaders who have no drive. Either they don't go into fields that are challenging or they sit around having kids, waiting for welfare checks and the government to support them. It's pretty pathetic actually. If you want to know how many morons are in America. Just look at the fact that Obama who is completely useless was re-elected. That spoke volumes about the millions of morons in America. I could care less about Republicans or Democrats. You had to be dumber than dog shit to elect Obama again. It was the youth of this country that pushed him over the top. I bet you those dumbasses are still unemployed.

 

[Puckmeat]

Right now I'm snapping my fingers, pointing upwards at your post, and yelling "BOOM" in total agreement.

 

[Messiah717]

You also have a large group of parents that spoil their children and hand everything to them. Oh you graduated high school so here's a BMW. Unless you're a complete imbecile you should be able to graduate high school. These same kids end up being useless in life unless their parents own a company and hand them a job. Otherwise they're still sitting at home in their late twenties sponging off their parents.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

Very true. Grew up in a neighborhood like that and that hasn't changed.

 

[gonnabluffanyway]

My girlfriend does EVERYTHING for her 21 year old son. He's graduated from college and heading for his Masters. He's lazy, has no credit, and she buys him everything without having much money of her own. He's unappreciative, and is a sad product of her enabling him to be that way. BUT........she thinks she is just being a good mom, and since he is not my son, it's hard for me to just say "WHAT THE F&@K ARE YOU DOING?" It's sad, I want her to spend her money on me haha.

- If baseball made some changes, I would love it - 3 balls is a walk, 2 strikes is an out, that'll keep it movin'

- Also, I just woke up from a nap.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

I highly suggest you tell him he's a loser who will end up in a dumpster when his mom wakes up.

 

[Puckmeat]

Ugh. Sounds like my brothers. Totally worthless, lived athome till their mid 20's, got everything handed to them, and then when it came time for them to move out (finally), one fell flat on his face, wound up in a freaking psych ward stayed there until he begged my dad to come get him. I would have left him there.

I walked out of my house when I was 18, and up until a few weeks ago I had never asked for anything. I got hurt really badly and asked my mom for rent money. It took me 12 years to ask for help, it took him less than 12 days. I think my dad still pays his rent. I'd feel so bad for doing something like that.
