    @MatthausSammer Did i really just read a comment where you said arron rodgers behavior was somehow similar to antonio brown's behavior? very bluepilled. At the end of the day the guy who wrote the original comment was fully correct. You been living in canada to long if you don't think there is a double standard. And the guy who wrote the comment already knew I can't/ wouldn't respond due to said double sandard.

    I could have claimed him if I wanted him. Pass. Starting RBs even in a timeshare are worth more than a WR like him.

    Not saying the defense isn’t an issue, but Eli isn’t going to lead you in any shootouts when he’s facing a shitty defense too. I do agree with you from one of your videos that Eli has actually looked better this year than he did the last two seasons. Even then, this team needs a spark and we saw enough from Jones in the preseason to see if he can do it. Coaches and organization don’t wait till their season is completely lost before trying to save the season.

    I'm not seeing what can be saved. The eagles and cowboys are so much better. skins are better too , although idk whats going on with their defense. I have to watch last weeks game on gamepass tonight because i'm befuddled. And i think everyone wants daniel jones in so they can continue beating the dead horse that is the giants. If everyone thought he was the worse draft pick of all time why clamor for him? I'd start him but this d is scary bad. It would be like me saying the dolphins can save their season putting rosen in. kind of ridiculous.

    I don’t think it’ll move the needle either but I’m sure that organization thinks he will since they drafted him that high. Plenty of people jumped on the bandwagon after his preseason performance. I’m still not sold and he doesn’t really have WRs to throw to.

    It's an example of a white player "whining", so to speak. The person I responded to seemed to accept my point fine. Whether it's over a helmet or how to run the offence, white players get away with stuff too. You said if a white player said a racial slur they'd be thrown out and burned at the stake? Riley Cooper, an infinitely worse player than Antonio Brown, threatened black people and called them a racial slur and then got a 25 million dollar extension afterwards. So I'm not seeing evidence of a double standard on NFL players along racial lines.

    Riley cooper was burned at the stake what are you talking about ??? He was far more ostrazised than any black athlete ive ever seen. And he was talking about behavior. That wasn't his point. And the game never complained publically and held a stoic stance in public. Brown faced no scrutiny for his racial slur what are you on about ?? Lol
    I know you like the NBA and are Canadian but there is a clear difference in behavior.

    And he lives in a society where he can't push back on your point. Look at how carefully he worded the comment, it says it all. He felt scared writing it. White players are held to a different standard of behavior, dude was right. And once again Riley Cooper did not exhibit similiar behavior to Brown.

    It's laughable you compared the game to Brown. Delusional stuff

    Cooper had a couple ESPN stories written about him and got fined. That was the extent of his ostracization. It isn't like it prevented him from getting overpaid the way he did. The Game absolutely didn't maintain a stoic stance in public; everyone and their dog knew him and McCarthy weren't on the same page because of his constant passive-aggressive sniping at him in press conferences.

    I don't wanna defend Antonio Brown; there's something wrong with that dude and it's pretty clear his behaviour is unacceptable. But I do think Rodgers' behaviour is on par with someone like OBJ. They express it differently but both of these dudes are willing to undermine the team construct to achieve their goals and need to be managed in order to buy in. Rodgers is a prickly dude; a lot of his teammates don't have nice things to say about him.

    The fact you had to go back to cooper also proves my point. The climate really isnt the same as back then, things have changed a lot. And how old were you when that happened to cooper?? You pretty much are saying there is no difference in behavior or standards. Thats why i had to throw in the canada thing. You will probably stay in a predominately white/ asian area in canada and get your "interactions" through media and nba games lol. You either dont understand our social norms or just simply dont want to see them. You will work a job soon enough and see unless you get in stem. If i would have phrased it like are there differences between behavior of a collie and a pitbull im sure youd see it.

    Rodgers put up with McCarthy for 10. years. You actually mentioned the "cold" stereotype of white people when describing the game. My goodness.

    Now that we are on the topic , why did romario and edmundo hate each other so much?? You think manhandling a great Man u team with the whole world watching would form a friendship.

    And I didn't know the icadi x maxi lopez situation into this year. I always wondered why everyone hated icardi.

    Basically, they each wanted to be the alpha of the team. It's similar to what happened when they both played for Flamengo and the media said we had the best attackers in the world with both of them and Savio. Romario and Edmundo would rather hog the ball themselves rather than pass to the other for an easy score.

    Yeah, the Icardi stuff has gone as far as being a dividing force in the Argentine locker room. It's why Icardi was such a controversial call up over the years.

    Once again luck is on our side. The Eagles' receivers had awful hands, we had some ref calls, and the Agholor fumble was ridiculous. Still though, we did win, so that's cool.

    The Daniel Jones hype train is really crazy right now. The NY media and the national media are losing their minds.

    Back to being the laughing stock of the league. I guess the Dolphins got us, but we are officially up there. Thanks Jay and Bruce. Not worth even mentioning Dan.

    The season was over when Trent Williams decided not to play and Washington decided WRs don't matter.
