2014 General NFL Thread

[J. Walter Weatherman]

This is a dumb sport and if it wasn't for my fantasy league where I might actually win some money I would probably not watch it at all. Getting closer every season.

Both of my fantasy teams are 1-7 and I've stopped editing them. My family and I have decided not to renew our Bears tickets next year. That one hurts a little bit. I'm not gonna lie. I'll get over it.

Not quite ready to cancel season tickets, but the two Sept. Games are all I'm going to go to this year.

This is a dumb sport, especially pro and college.

I lost interest in college football a few years ago when I picked up Grass Hockey.

I'm not much for college at all, but I still love this sport and I don't care.

Well, your alma mater doesn't really field a team that I know of.

I haven't watched a college game in it's entirety since 2012, probably. At first it was mostly just that I worked a lot of Saturdays with the job I had and then I usually had stuff to do, but after a while I noticed I really didn't miss it that much. As for the NFL I won't pretend the Bears sucking ass isn't the main cause of my general meh attitude toward the sport right now, but frankly even in years past when they blew I'd catch every other game I could, and right now I just don't even bother. By this time next year I'll have a baby and way less time to spend on stupid shit like arguing over Jay Cutler's every bowel movement and I'm not really looking at it as the end of my youth so much as a welcome graduation to doing more important and less irritating shit with my life.

Regardless, Pen sucks.  

You'd think so, but as evidenced by the fact that Slaky's heroically voluminous Twitter output has not been slowed by reproduction, that's not necessarily going to be the case.

Also, congrats, man.

Reproduction actually increases my output. Ah hell nothing can slow me down.

I'm like 90% sure Slaky was requesting an Inbox invite from me (on Facebook, albeit) while his new baby was crowning.

yeah but Slak's one of them social media celebrity types. It's expected. I'm eagerly awaiting his debut as one of those Vine stars.

As awesome as that is, I'm equally entertained by the ubiquitous presence of Facemorph Like-botting everything he sees.

Tell us something we didn't know

[Bort]

I'm gonna have to give Slaky a pass, because, for a man, there really isn't much to do during most of labor but sit around. And the first few months of fatherhood for me were spent being up at weird hours, not having anything better to do, and tweeting about bullshit. Hell, none of that Holiday Road crap would've happened if I actually was sleeping normal hours.

As for the NFL, I have always been such a borderline football viewer that a combination of a terrible Bears team and absolute human garbage getting away with practically everything they do in this sport has left me not giving a tin shit this year.

Yep. Literally sitting there waiting. And I'm not working until Wednesday so that leaves even more time to post and tweet throwaway crap.

I could have saved Chuck D the trouble and just said - yeah I definitely responded to you during labor. I deny nothing.

I find these viewpoints surprising.

I cut the umbilical cord. I was there. But this was my second kid so it was very chill. Not kidding - we were there for three hours total before the baby came out. Also my mom showed up towing my drunk father around while my wife's parents were watching on Skype. The doc said it was the weirdest birth he's ever been present for which made me feel good.

That, and being named for a Cubs first-round pick, will be your son's lasting legacies.

Seriously. Ali's water broke at like 2am, and my son wasn't born until 8:54pm. Most of the time in between was spent waiting for her to dilate/efface (they eventually gave up and she had a c-section). There were literally hours where we basically hung out in the delivery room.
