Responding to your Comments.

Damnit Ryan! Your witty blog made me wanna do one too. First off, before I respond to your comments I have to say something: No matter how much my blogs make your opinions seem stupid, or make you feel inferior about your intellect, or insecure about your body, or make you want to cut yourself, or give you a boner, PLEASE be polite when leaving a comment. Thank you. :D

First, a big ass comment that SOMEONE posted about NFL Week 15:
"I know plenty of people who don't think the Eagles are the best team".
Ok, this was bad elaboration on my part. The Eagles are not the best team in football. In my personal opinion, there really can't be one definitive best team. What I should have said was that the Eagles are one of the best teams and have consistency each week when they play. Same with the Chargers. It's that consistency that makes them dangerous competitors in the postseason. If you don't think that, then you're an idiot. :D
"the Colts may have not lost, but do they really need to learn much?"
Once again, bad elaboration. What I should have said was that the Colts have to stay sharp into the postseason. It's harder to do that when you've already secured a first round bye, homefield advantage, and your division. Plus as you said in another comment, the postseason is leaps and bounds from the regular season. You can't always count on Manning's plays, especially against more stalwart defenses.
"I disagree with you on the Favre thing. With a situation like taking out somebody because the coach doesn't want them hurt, the person that should know this the most is the quarterback. In many cases the coach's word is solid. But in a situation with Brett Favre, who knows what he is doing on the field, the coach's word is not always solid. At the skill level and knowledge and experience that Favre has, he is almost as much a field coach as the coach himself. If he feels he can handle it, the coach should take that into account. I don't think Favre had any wrong actions. It just was a shitty situation all around. And they were gonna lose anyway."
I'm afraid you need to reevaluate your reasoning here. Though I agree Farve knows what he's doing (it's Farve for Christ's sake), it's not about what he wants. It's about what's best for the team. Julius Pepper was running circles around the offensive line. If he had hit Farve the wrong way and Farve got injured, that would have been it for the Vikings Super Bowl hopes. Plus any player in the history of sports knows that the coach's word is law. You don't have to like his decision, but you have to respect it. Having the unofficial title of "field coach" doesn't mean shit. Not to mention that the Vikes were not going to lose anyway. Their little spat occured in the third quarter when the Vikings lead 7-6. Childress wanted Farve out to keep him safe and put in Tavaris Jackson, who is more agile and could escape the Panthers pass rush.
A quick note on the new Batman game:
"I don't expect this one to come out until Holiday '11."
Agree with the 2011 release, but do you think holiday or post-summer like the first one? I can really see why holiday because it is now a successful franchise, but there is the more pressing possiblity of MW3 coming out around that time too. Just thinking...
And finally, a note about the Things Fall Apart blog:
"Week 12-13 is when I start seriously considering teams for the Super Bowl."
Well, it's week 16 almost. Who is it, buddy? I wanna know. :D
So as always, this is just my response to you guys and I hope you comment and vote in the shiny new poll. Thanks for reading and of course, commenting!

  1. First off, you are such a copycat.

    Second, stop stealing my tradition.

    Just kidding. About one of those. Which one?

    I feel I should make a note about what I try to do with these things. I'm kinda getting the feeling you are trying to debate with me here a bit. Although this is great, I don't plan on doing this. I like to reply to statements not clarified well. I also hold out until I have enough comments. Just thought you should know.

    Vikings vs. Colts, but I ain't gonna pick a winner just yet.
