:D

Who dat means Who's that...Who's that thinks they are going to beat those Saints? But it started way before that and I guess was popular in WW2 as well?

"The chant of "Who Dat?" originated in minstrel shows and vaudeville acts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was taken up by jazz and big band performers in the 1920s and 30s.

The first reference to "Who Dat?" can be found in the 19th Century in the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, first in his poem "When Malindy Sings" and later in his lyrics to the song "Who Dat Say Chicken in dis Crowd," a featured song in E.E. Rice's "Summer Nights," in a show called Clorindy: The Origin of the Cake Walk by Will Marion Cook.[2][3][4] A common tag line in the days of Negro minstrel shows was: "Who dat?" answered by "Who dat say who dat?" Many different blackfaced gags played off that opening. Vaudeville performer Mantan Moreland was known for the routine.[4] Another example is "Swing Wedding," a 1930s Harman-Ising cartoon musical, which caricatured Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Ethel Waters, and the Mills Brothers as frogs in a swamp performing minstrel show jokes and jazz tunes. The frogs repeatedly used the phrase "who dat?"

In the swing era, "who dat" chants back and forth between the band and the band leader or between the audience and the band were extemporaneous. That is, there was no one specific set of words except for the two magic ones.

I'm surprised that no one finds dat offensive considering that it comes from minstrel shows.

Patriots - I'm in Patriot territory and I fucking hated them to begin with. Nothing like wearing a Steeler jersey down at the local pub to piss the locals off.

I was already caught wiping my ass with a Tom Brady jersey in public.

The best I could wish for on the cheats is a bad staph infection.

How does anyone pick Oakland? Denver will be decent this year IMO, that's an easy pick.

Oakland swept the division last year -- they went 6 - 0.

Of course after doing that Al Davis fired the coach and got rid of the best player on both offense and defense. :D

Can't believe I missed a real good game and the kickoff last night :-\

Here's some Briggs news

Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs intends to wear gloves and cleats in the colors of the United States flag on Sept. 11 against the Atlanta Falcons, and he won't be fined for violating uniform policy.

"Reebok great job on these gloves and shoes..looks like I'm getting fined this week. Lol!" Briggs tweeted Thursday. "By far the best fine I will ever have to pay. Thanks"

But the NFL told team equipment managers on Friday morning that players may wear special shoes and gloves made by NFL licensees -- including Reebok -- for Week 1 games.

Well that will be cool.....yeah it was action packed game. Plenty of aerial offense. 2 run backs on kick-offs. But once the Packers went up by two touchdowns it was all catch up for the Saints. Interesting to note that the Saints averaged 27pts a game last year. That tells most teams they best up 28 pts.

Best way to go at GB with Rodgers. Is smash-mouth football. Run the ball and keep him on the bench. The less touches he has will start to bother his game.

Conley
09-09-2011, 08:14 PM
Yeah that's a good strategy.

I haven't seen the Saints in a long time but I don't think they do smash mouth well...I think Da Bears and Vikes too will be better at that. Detroit is better than they have been in years too. >:D

Yeah, I just found out that Manning Sr. is out for the year with a cervical yeast infection or something like that, so my Texans over the Colts prediction is looking better now.

And, I didn't know that the Jagoffs cut Girard - apparently they're considering bankruptcy or something like that (so much for Florida NFL) so my tits over the jagoffs prediction is looking better.

I wish I had this dumb luck with my FF teams.

This is as wide open as the NFL has been in a lot of years..I am stoked to see what happens. If the Chargers didn't have Norv Turner as HC I'd be hoping for the AFC championship game. Eh, maybe it's not Norv's fault. Everyone is soft in SD.

I'm going to miss the games tomorrow, I have to spend probably all day at work. We hit the amusement park down in Manchester today, good day. Wore my Steeler jersey and while I generally get great comments everywhere else I wear it, I wasn't sure what kind of reaction I'd have so near to Bahhston.

3 comments. One cordial nod from another Steeler jersey wearing dude, I was sitting on a park bench when my wife and 7yr old were on some spinning ride (I was a tad hungover, not hitting the spinning rides) and a guy came over to me and said "Steelers - best team in the NFL... after the Patriots". I retorted "fair enough". Third was a guy who wasn't donning any NFL stuff who said to me "It all starts tomorrow". I wasn't sure what side of the fence he stood on but I gave him a thumbs up.

I was being tentative. While I generally have had great comments from wearing Steeler jerseys, I had one dude from Cleveland give me a hard time when down on the beach. I'm walking into a restaurant with my family and this douchebag starts dropping F-bombs on me. Fortunately, the crowd bood him out of the joint but I was in enemy territory today but all went well - and I was with my family.

Buddy of mine got tix to a Steelers/Patriots preseason game in Bahhston a few years ago, he wore a Bernard Pollard fan club t-shirt. That takes a lot of balls, my hat's still off to him.

Oh I get it, which is why I was so tentative.

If some dude was wearing a Browns jersey on my turf, not sure how I would react. Wearing Steeler jerseys at the Buffalo wing fest in NY is one thing - they generally like the Steelers up there. In New England, different story.

I might have told this story once before, but I used to buy season tix from a friend who owned them for the Steelers back in the 80's when we sucked. He didn't want to go to the games but didn't want to give up his license for them so I just bought the tickets. Me and my dad went to a game - last game of the season at home against the Browns. Meaningless game, both teams were eliminated from playoff contention weeks ago. It was fucking freezing, late December. I wore my deer hunting orange overalls with a brown Schlitz knit hat. We had a flask that we were hitting and at halftime I went to the pisser.

Going to the pisser at halftime is an event by itself, it's packed. There was this Browns fan in the middle of the herd waiting to hit the urinal trough. Had all his gear on. Things got ugly, he wound up getting stomped when then I realized I'm wearing an orange jumpsuit with a brown hat - which I promptly removed.

We left after that and headed down to the local bar to watch the second half on TV.

Kinda. If I got tix to see the Steelers up in dirty, dirty Cleveland, I would wear a jersey if I were going with (hardcore) friends, but I would NOT wear it if I were with my family.

I wouldn't take my family to a football game either way - it's not a family oriented event no matter where you are at, but wearing a Steeler jersey to even a Browns game would require a lot of intestinal fortitude. You better be ready for confrontation.

This weekend was the Buffalo wing fest and the first one we missed in probably 10 years. Every year I'd wear my Steeler jersey and every year my wife would be rolling her eyes over the attention I'd get.

I've had my picture taken and printed in the Sunday newspaper in Buffalo, I've gotten interviewed and had it printed, I've had my pic taken and printed on their official website several times.

Last year, me and my 7yr old (then 6) wore matching Steeler jerseys. Buffalo has a high population of orientals and if you know orientals, they love taking pictures. Constantly. Me and the kiddo went out to hit some of the wing vendors for wings and my wife was watching the folding chairs we brought and this group of orientals stopped us and asked us to take a picture. I said sure, want me to take a picture of you? They said no, we want our picture taken with you two - you're Steeler fans and we want to have our picture taken with you. Sure - so me and kiddo are in some oriental family photo album.

Yeah, you don't need that kind of trouble when you're with your wife and kids. That's a f'n shame that it's like that though. Taking your sons to a game just seems like a classic father and son thing. Was it always like that? FYI, I've never actually been to a live football game. Baseball and basketball only.

Captain Obvious

No Bills/Steelers rivalry. Neither team has a dog in that fight, no conference opposition and the Bills suck. Lotta Steeler fans in Buffalo though.

It's a great city, I really enjoyed spending time there. Much like Pittsburgh, but smaller - and Pittsburgh is pretty small as far as major cities goes. It has a special place in my heart. My parents lived in Buffalo for a while before I was born, my dad used to call it the asshole of the world.

Baseball is way different. You can easily get away with wearing opposing fans jerseys at those games except maybe for Boston/Yankees games and maybe LA games. Same for hockey, sort of. Hockey fans are an odd group but there are a lot of games in both baseball and hockey. Long seasons. NFL - way different. Short seasons and bitter rivalries, plus the NFL is THE sport of the globe.

Rival the NFL with say European soccer, minus the riots.

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6943943/all-continuity

Simmons picks:

PACKERS (-4.5) over Saints
I have New England, Green Bay, Pittsburgh and New Orleans as my four "continuity contender" locks. If you subscribe to the "it's all about the quarterback and the coach, everything goes through them" theory — and I'm a longtime subscriber — then find me four more stable coach/QB situations. You can't. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 1: New England, Green Bay, Pittsburgh and New Orleans will win 50 48 regular-season games combined.

Steelers (+1.5) over RAVENS
Every year, either six or seven playoff teams return to make the playoffs again … which means five or six drop out. Of the Eagles, Falcons, Jets and Ravens, isn't Baltimore the most likely free-faller? Tough schedule, weak corners, semishaky QB, soft pass rush, two aging defensive stars, a sketchy offensive line … what am I missing? Do you realize that, right after the lockout ended, the Vikings waived Bryant McKinnie because he showed up weighing nearly 400 pounds. They didn't have a replacement and didn't care; they just wanted him out. Now he's guarding Joe Flacco's blind side ahead of the guy from The Blind Side? OK. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 2: Baltimore misses the 2011 playoffs.

BEARS (+3) over Falcons
Every season from 2003 through 2010 had at least one no. 1 or no. 2 seed that missed the following season's playoffs (and dropped at least four wins). Last year, I dubbed this team "the grenade" because I had been watching too much Jersey Shore. This year? I'm still watching too much Jersey Shore. (And I'm not happy about it — I wish we could just fast-forward 15 years to the day when everyone's out of my life except for Sammi Sweetheart, who will be almost definitely be feuding with Brett Favre on Celebrity Rehab.) Anyway, we've had 13 NFL grenades in the past eight years (an astonishing 40.25 percent),6 not to mention the ones The Situation brings home every night and pretends to almost hook up with before concentrating on more important things, like assaulting a cement wall with his forehead. This year's grenade? Put it this way: So many Vegas sharps banged Chicago's initial over/under total (8½ wins) that it was downgraded to 8 (and yes, people are still banging it). It's the most obvious grenade pick in the history of grenade picks; I don't even need to list the reasons because you can rattle them off yourself. If the Bears win eight games or more, I'm giving you a full refund for this column.

So why am I picking them for Week 1? Because I don't love the Falcons, either — even if they fit the "continuity contender" parameters, they drew too much hype for a textbook schedule/luck/momentum overachiever. I see them struggling for a few weeks, then turning it on late and fighting Tampa for a wild-card spot. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 3: The Bears upset Atlanta in Week 1 and STILL realize full-fledged "grenade" status.

BUCS (-1.5) over Lions
That's right, I said Tampa! Why do so few people still believe in JAAAAAAAASH FREEMAN!?!?!?!?? Even if the Bucs had some schedule/luck/momentum help last season, don't they get credit for overcoming a rash of crippling injuries (they lost five starters in two weeks at one point, including stud cornerback Aqib Talib and center Jeff Faine) and gritting their way to 10-6? What about a full year from LeGarrette Blount? Why is everyone so eager to say how much better Sam Bradford will be in Year 2, but they never say this about Freeman (also entering his second full year as a starter)? Have you seen their schedule for god's sake?7 And haven't we learned that it's much better to be the "Nobody Believes In Us!" team (Tampa) than the "Everyone Believes In Us!" team (not just Atlanta but Detroit, as well)? Relatively Bold Prediction No. 4: Tampa makes the playoffs, Atlanta and Detroit do not.

Bills (+6) over CHIEFS
Every season since 2003, at least three playoff teams dropped out the following year and lost at least four more games. Hmmmm … Bears, Chiefs, Colts … done! That took me 0.23 seconds. I didn't like the Chiefs even before Tony Moeaki went down for the year. I see the Bills either winning this game or coming damn close … and sadly, it becoming one of the highlights of their season. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 5: By April 2012, Todd Haley will be the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets.

Titans (+2.5) over JAGUARS
TEXANS (-9) over Colts
I'll try to condense the annual "A sleeper can't be a sleeper if it's wide-awake" rant into one sentence: If you're picking a sleeper that isn't (a) a team you think will jump at least five wins from 2010 to 2011, and (b) isn't one of the 11 teams with little to no buzz in 2011 (in order: the Titans, Bills, Dolphins, Bengals, Broncos, Browns, Jaguars, Raiders, Redskins, Vikings and Panthers), then you didn't pick a sleeper. Sorry.

Anyway, I love the AFC South because it's the total package of weirdness: The Jags already checked out for the season with the McCown/Garrard white flag; the Texans went 2-8 in their last 10 games, never fired Gary Kubiak and somehow became The Next Great AFC South Team (how does this happen?); the Colts might stink for the first time in a decade; and the Titans have all the sleeper makings (low expectations, talent on both sides of the ball, underachieved last year because of a truly messed-up QB/coach situation, two dynamite offensive players in Kenny Britt and Chris Johnson), and yet, they have a new coach (Mike Munchak) and a new quarterback (Hasselbeck), which means they're failing my "continuity" rules. Then again, wouldn't stability count as pseudocontinuity here? How was that Vince Young/Jeff Fisher quagmire even remotely stable? And isn't the state of Tennessee overdue for some good sports news? Relatively Bold Prediction No. 6: Tennessee vaults Indy, wins 10 games and takes the AFC South.

BROWNS (-6.5) over Bengals
Had there been a full offseason, I would have wondered about Cincy's sleeper potential because of its sneaky-good defense, A.J. Green and the salient question, "Can Andy Dalton REALLY be that much worse than Carson Palmer these past two seasons?" But getting Dalton and Green ready in seven weeks? Please. Meanwhile, remember this about sleepers: Since 2003, we've had at least one playoff team every year that jumped 5-plus wins in the standings.8 I keep staring at the Browns as a pure schedule pick: they go Cincy, at Indy (no Manning), Miami, Tennessee, BYE, at Oakland, Seattle, at San Fran, at Houston, St. Louis, Jacksonville and at Cincy in their first 11 games — can you bake a bigger creampuff than that??? — followed by a brutal next four (Baltimore, at Pittsburgh, at Arizona and Baltimore), then a Possibly Resting Everybody Steelers in Week 17.

Even if it's weird to think of Colt McCoy and Peyton Hillis playing a wild-card game, fast-forward to next summer: Who will be next year's horseshoe team (as in "They're going to regress, the only reason they made last year's playoffs was because of their schedule and some lucky breaks")? Feels like the Browns, right? Can't you see Bill Barnwell writing 1,200 angry words next July about how much the 2012 Browns are going to suck? (You know, assuming Barnwell doesn't die in Vegas within the next 10 months?) Relatively Bold Prediction No. 7: The Browns will be one of our two 2011 sleepers and sneak out a wild card ahead of Baltimore.

RAMS (+4.5) over Eagles
You don't know how badly I wanted to bump the Eagles from the playoffs as the NFC's "Too Many People Believed In Us" team (as well as the "Why Did Everyone Think Mike Vick Could Play 16 Games When He's Done It Only Once?" Team. Too much talent though. And they have enough Reid/Vick continuity at this point to survive any stumbles coming out of the gate. You know, like blowing this game in St. Louis. As for the Rams, sign me up for the "Josh McDaniels has unleashed Sam Bradford!" express in a typically lousy NFC West; I even spent seven bucks on Danny Amendola in my West Coast auction this week. That wasn't a misprint. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 8: The Rams win this game and go on to win the NFC West.

REDSKINS (+3) over Giants
I had written off the Giants even before they lost half their defense in the preseason. As for the Redskins, they're a semi-intriguing sleeper pick until you start thinking about things like, "Wait, I've seen Rex Grossman play" and "Wait, I've seen Tim Hightower play." Relatively Bold Prediction No. 9: The Redskins will win more games than the New York Football Giants.

Wild-card Round: Eagles over Cowboys, Bucs over Rams
Second Round: Bucs over Saints, Packers over Eagles
Title Game: Packers over Bucs

Panthers (+7) over CARDINALS
I see Kevin Kolb being a 2011 continuity cautionary tale: In the span of seven weeks, he went from "I don't know where I'm playing this season" to being the savior in Arizona, a team that desperately needed a competent quarterback after last year's Anderson/Skelton/Hall horror show. New offense, new receivers, new coaches, new playbook, longing "please, just put the ball within three feet of me and I'll f-ing catch it, all right?" stares from Larry Fitzgerald … and are we even sure Kevin Kolb is good? I'm leaning toward no. (Remember how scared he looked in Week 1 against the Packers last season?) Throw in a couple of unexpected Cam Newton highlights and I feel comfortable typing the following: Relatively Bold Prediction No. 10: The Panthers will either beat the Cards in Week 1 or come damned close.

Seahawks (+5.5) over NINERS9
Year 7 of Alex Smith! Year 7! He's the According to Jim of NFL quarterbacks; you see him and say, "Wait, how is this still on?" Part of me wonders if Jim Harbaugh is throwing away this entire season just to get Andrew Luck; I mean, if you were doing that, wouldn't you say things like, "We're going with Alex Smith!"

Meanwhile, the Seahawks evacuated their bandwagon by signing Tarvaris Jackson; it was like they set off a blaring fire alarm and told everyone to run for their lives. Quick story: I participated in an NFL Team Wins pool this year in which 10 guys selected three NFL teams (most total wins for those three teams wins the pool).10 Only two teams went undrafted … the Panthers and Seahawks. And in Grantland's Bad QB Fantasy League, the Seahawks were the second team taken. I guess what I'm trying to say is this: It probably wasn't a good idea to turn the keys over to Tarvaris Jackson. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 11: The Niners pull out every stop to win the Luck Sweepstakes (and succeed).

Vikings (+8.5) over CHARGERS
I circled the Vikes for about two weeks as a 2011 sleeper because they upgraded from Brad Childress and Brett Favre to "two competent bodies," and also, because I'm not buying the Lions or Bears. But McNabb looked mildly washed up last season; I just can't pull the trigger. "9 and 7 with a monster Adrian Peterson season" sounds right for them. More important, since 2003 the league has featured one "creeper" — my term for a team that jumped at least four wins from the previous season and grabbed a no. 1 or no. 2 seed.11 San Diego finished in 9-7 in 2010 during one of those "Jeez, what else could go wrong?" seasons; that means they can climb to 13-3 and realize full-fledged "creeper" status.

Of course, that would require the Chargers to stop screwing up September … but given their continuity advantage and the new kickoff rules (which reduces the impact of atrocious special teams), that seems realistic. Scary offense, scary team. I see them falling behind early in this game, making every Chargers fan scream, "No, not again!!!!!" then rallying for a comeback win, shedding their September curse, getting to 13-3 … and summarily choking in the playoffs like always. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 12: Everyone who bet Phil Rivers at 12-to-1 as MVP cashes in.12

COWBOYS (+4) over Jets
You don't know how badly I wanted to pick the Jets to miss the playoffs. Considering they made two straight AFC Championship Game appearances and lost some key guys from last season, it wasn't totally far-fetched … but still, it's just too hard to imagine them NOT winning 10 games. So if you're looking for a little boldness, let's go here: Everything that could have went wrong with last year's Cowboys season did; even the first JerryWorld Super Bowl turned into a full-fledged disaster. They finished 6-10. You're telling me they can't jump four or five wins with a healthy Romo, a healthy Dez Bryant and an awake head coach? Relatively Bold Prediction No. 13: Everyone who bet Dallas to win the NFC East at +300 cashes in.

Patriots (-7) over DOLPHINS
Remove my homersexuality from the equation … it's fair to call the 2011 Patriots the ultimate "continuity" team, right? Thanks for agreeing with me. I appreciate that. As for the Dolphins, let's forget about Chad Henne's shortcomings for a second (and they're significant); am I the only one who remembers Miami's owner chasing Jim Harbaugh last winter, not pulling it off, then awkwardly going into, "Look, that wasn't a reflection of how I felt about Tony Sparano at all, I was just sniffing around" mode? If I'm a Dolphins player, that little saga told me that my coach is on thinner than thin ice. As we saw with Wade Phillips, Brad Childress and even Jeff Fisher last season, once the players smell blood in the water, it's over. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 14: Tony Sparano is the first 2011 coach to be fired. And also: Relatively Bold Prediction No. 15: The Patriots win 12 games and somehow don't get a first-round bye.

BRONCOS (-3) over Raiders
Do you think the other 31 teams look back fondly on having Josh McDaniels in two NFL drafts the same way we look back fondly at those two or three years when one of our buddies' idiotic friends made a one-year fantasy league cameo and did things like drafting a kicker in the fourth round? It should take a solid year for Denver to undo the damage. As for the Raiders, they're the ultimate 2011 continuity story: For the umpteenth straight season, they're a complete and total mess. Some things never change. Relatively Bold Prediction No. 16: Neither of these teams make the Super Bowl … instead, we have a Packers-Steelers rematch that Pittsburgh wins in a shootout, 37-34. Yes, even Super Bowl XLVI will have continuity.

My buddy who rents a room from me is a big Jets fan so he'll probably head off to the bars tonight. They should be packed but it will be all dudes. A giant sausage party. No eye candy. What's the point? And the girls who are there are almost always with their boyfriends.

Thanks to our government there isn't the competition there should be. Here in San Diego there are two cable companies and depending on where you live you can only chose one. Time Warner has all of the North and Cox all of the south. It's bull. Our government is all free market,until it isn't. ::)

I can go with either Verizon or Comcast in central NJ. A few years ago it was only Comcast. There is some competition was it's still very limited and doesn't result in the breaks for customers you might expect. For example, you'd think by now that you would just pay for the channels you want or at least have the option of smaller packages but these companies will cooperate to make sure that doesn't happen. Now if some smaller companies arrived on the scene and made a bid for Verizon's and Comcast's customers I think the latter would benefit enormously.

Not to turn this into a discussion about cable I watch around 20-25 channels out of what? 1000?

Conley
09-11-2011, 08:51 PM
yeah a la carte cable would be the bomb, no doubt. i don't think we'll ever see that but it'd be great. really if it weren't for sports i'd just use the internet and netflix. all the shows i watch come out on dvd eventually and i can download or watch other shows online.

Nah, I can't do that. They wouldn't come over anyway.

I'm a regular on a Steeler forum and I get that request all the time - ask them over, especially during those two interconference games. Occasionally one or two might stop over but that's it.

Trolling is an art, I generally am well liked on those forums (one of them at least, the other one I'm an asshole on). I can really be cocky and witty and that's the role I play on one of them. I'm like the honorary forum troll there. I try to stop in once or twice during the year and post some smarmy remark but I generally get a good reaction. The other one, I just bust their balls.

Tough loss to a contender but it's one game.

It's not like the Steelers have a habit of losing like the stains.

Looking at our schedule, I note that we don't play a serious contender until week 8 when we play the cheats.

Enjoy your moment of schadenfreude while you can, it won't last long.

I can't believe they would ever get over that SB. I've never seen a team anally raped by the refs like that in such a high profile game.

I've never liked dolphins or the Dolphins so I will have to root against them. ;D

Mister D is making a prediction: a black man will score next. I called it!


:D

There is a guy in this game named Chung, unfortunately he plays defense.

But he's black too.

:'(


>:( I couldn't even find the freaking game at first. Wasn't Monday Night Football on channel 7? I found it on 70 but only by using the search feature on the menu.

Channel 7?

You sound like my dad, he does that to me all the time. I'm like "dad, we have different cable companies, my channels are different than yours".

Anyway, it's on ESPN. They paid a shitload of money for the MNF rights over the network stations.

Yep it sure was. That was Frank Gifford, Al Michaels and The Dorf were calling the MNF games. Also that Pete Rose sure could hit! ;)

Well, I found it and that's what's important.

I keep seeing these Buffalo Grill commercials. They advertise their wings but I have a feeling their wings are crap. Kind of like Hooters. Anyone been to one of these joints?

Buffalo grill? Never heard of it. Buffalo Wild Wings - I've been to a bunch of those. A little pricey but you get the whole sports bar atmosphere thing.

Hooters wings are ok, their sauce is kinda weird though. Fluorescent orange, but nobody goes there for the wings.

That's the one. I messed up the name. How are the Wild wings?

The last time I had Hooters wings (just outside Colonial Williamsburg VA) I thought they had the taste and texture of KFC wings. IOW, they sucked.

BWW are pretty decent, it's hard to fuck up wings IMO.

I used to go to Hooters with a buddy of mine, he was a total horn dog. Basically they hire silicone implanted strippers - they're all fucking hot.

Being a happily married dude, I don't go much for that kind of stuff and the wings really aren't that good. They're ok but for the price you're basically paying for the T&A.

I am the only one who hates silicone? It depends on the work done but generally ugh...wall eye nips? flounder titties? no thanks! Plus the long term health consequences...give me a fit chick and whatever size any day >:D

Yeah, I'm with ya Con.

Silicone bazookas are a turn-off for me, same with tramp stamps.

Conley
09-12-2011, 08:11 PM
Yeah any tat is a tat too many as far as I am concerned, but the tramp stamps are a deal breaker. Maybe when I was younger but I'd still have to be pretty drunk.

F'in Pats...

Also when you get to be our age, you appreciate even the IBTC...least I do because the womens my age who had great racks now gravity has taken its toll. But truthfully like I said I love em all as long as they're natural :D Hips too. Good for birthing. >:D

Tattoos on a woman's arm are a big turn off for me. It's too masculine.

Yeah, I guess an ankle is ok. It is really the size more than anything...if they're gonna have em they have to be tiny. Otherwise no thanks.

Wtf 517 yrds Brady threw for.....No pressure from that Defense. We will see what brady can do when he has line that can put some Pressure on his azz. I can't stand the N.E. Panzies. Glad I fell asleep.

Looks Like Oakland is going to win their Home Opener. No way would I have thought they could beat Denver. So I ended up 10-6 for this first week.

Janakoski 63 yrd field goal to win the game. Heard at the end of the Game Denver fans were calling for Tebow. Thats sucks in my opinion. First off Tebow has proven that he cannot read Defenses in the Pro's Yet.

500+ yards, that is ridiculous! >:( I know D agrees with me. O0
