2014 General NFL Thread

I mean, there are people all over Twitter saying that Devin Hester shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.

Go fight them ALL.

Honestly I come from a family that up  until just this last generation was pretty damn poor and uneducated. There's things in that family history that aren't good, but the people who did them have changed and grown and done what they can to better themselves. I'd like to believe that's possible for all of these people. Brandon got help, and he's stayed out of trouble. Maybe he did deserve to be written off forever. Maybe there's something here that can't be forgiven. There's just people I'd like to believe that isn't true about, and maybe the fact that it's a football player I've come to like and respect a lot the last few years hits too close. Sorry I've gone and made an ass of myself.

Devin is a hall of famer but I'm pretty pissed at him for throwing the entire Bears organization and Jay under the bus for him failing to be an offensive weapon in Chicago when they spent 5 years trying to make that happen against the better judgment of everyone.

For the record since I'm sure I've made everyone super uncomfortable I've never been hit or abused or anything, but I do have cousins and others who have, and it sucks, but I also kind of find it hard to just write off family I care about forever when they seem to be trying not to do it again. The general narrative of these things and the "Why I Stayed" and the etc. is "you need to leave, you need to understand hey can't change" and I absolutely agree people being abused need to get the hell out, but I also can't easily accept that such people are completely beyond redemption even if they try because, shit, that's a really depressing thing to think, even though it usually is a losing battle.

so in Marshall's case it seems like a guy got help and isn't hitting people anymore. Regardless of what he says, that feels like a win we should be happy with.

Why don't you just step away from the computer for a bit a take a few deep breaths.

No one thinks you beat people.

Yet.

SKO, this is a judgement-free forum. Show us on the doll where Brandon hit you and show us the document he had you rewrite in your own handwriting

You of all people want to go to "show us on the doll" jokes, eh?

Sorry to ruin the internet again. We can all make fun of Lovie and McGowan together if it will foster healing.

Hey, I might finally be right.

Also, I'm done congratulating Brandon Marshall for not hitting women anymore. He has to own his past and it seams like he is. But from what I've heard from professionals about Borderline Personality Disorder, the chance for a relapse is always eminent. Right now, while he's rich and famous, in the public eye with millions of people paying attention to him, he might have found certain outlets for his energy that keep him in good mental shape. My worry is that when his career is in decline or over, will the anger and frustration build up and cause him to do something terrible.

Should I disown him as a fan for something he hasn't done yet? Of course not. But I've doled out my last HJ for how well he's cleaned himself up and not hit any women lately.

No, you're not right.

5 catches, 99 yards, 1 TD week one.

YEAH DEVIN THE RECEIVER HAS ARRIVED. 2  catches, 27 yards, 1 carry, 20 yards since then. So he's on pace for about 672 yards receiving, which wouldn't even be a career high. He's averaged fewer touches per game than he did in Chicago so far 3.1 from 2008-2012 vs. 2.6 as a Falcon. I'm going to say "let's see how this plays out". But really he's going to finish with 570 yards and 5 tds, tops.
