2014 General NFL Thread

[SKO]

but hey, if Devin has reached the point in his career where he can be a pretty good #4 receiver at age 32, great job. Real proud. You proved us all wrong, pal.

[Eli]

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

Go fight them ALL.

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 but Apex.

Buttpuddle Vindication'd.

1074 yards, 10 TDs. NEVER FORGET

Hey, I might finally be right.

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.

You proved us all wrong, pal.

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.

My mother specializes in Borderline Personality Disorder. She's written books on it. It's not about relapse. It doesn't "go away."  But, it doesn't mean that he's going to start hitting women again either. It's treatable, like most other things.  It certainly heightens during times of greatest stress and trauma, but (and I think Marshall is acutely aware of this) it's always there, just a question of how well you can manage it and/or the quality of the treatment you're receiving.

Yeah. It's also a disorder that leaves people feeling victimized and paranoid, from what I understand. Which is the really concerning thing about that press conference. If Brandon's back to feeling like the world is against him I'm afraid he'll act to validate those fears.

[SKO]

I will say the best part of the Marshall presser was him saying, out loud, "I've learned never to say anything because if you try to battle in the court of public opinion you'll lose so all you can do is not say anything" while he was holding an hour long press conference. That's an expert-level lack of self-awareness.

I appreciate that info. I really do hope he keeps it together. But of course that goes for anybody, not just players on my favorite team. I'm not sick of Brandon or anything, but I'm avoiding that press conference like the plague.

That's best. Whether you like Brandon or not that thing was ill-advised and just plain awkward at best.

Is there a blog where Apex and your mom talk about these disorders?

She's not Asian so Apex wouldn't be into her.

Hey guys, Brandon Marshall spent $100,000 to send his mom to rehab.  Best $100,000 he ever spent.  Look, here's the canceled check right here, it's on Page 1 of your packet.  $100,000!  Can you believe that?  He spent $100,000 on his mom!  Hey, $100,000 is better than $200,000, right mom??

Also, Gloria Allred is an eloquent bitch who's never done anything for victims but Roger Goodell is a swell dude and everyone should leave him alone.  And you'd better never accuse Brandon of rape, Peggy!  Got my eye on you!

The only thing that I got out of that press conference is that it wasn't scripted.
