2006 Point & Laugh at the taterskins thread

[Feva]

Sharing nutbags and razors?  Soap in the showers?  The pic of the pillow-biter in the hot pants?

Man, oh man... talk about ammo! 



There's a couple taterskin fans I know that are about to HATE... ME! 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If they don't hate you already, you're doing something wrong.

[Feva]

I'm a pretty lovable motherfarger though... it's pretty tough for folks to flat out hate me.

[PhillyPhreak54]

They have to tell them to not share ball holsters and razors? And make sure they use soap?

If it's the MRSA form of staph, thats some nasty ass shtein. Some of the inmates have that shtein. It eats holes in your skin. Yummy.

taterskins | Team taking precautions to fight MRSA
Thu, 3 Aug 2006 19:49:51 -0700

Howard Bryant, of the Washington Post, reports the Washington taterskins took multiple precautions to fight the microbe, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is a bacteria that was once relegated to hospitals and prisons, but starting to proliferate in locker rooms at all levels of sports. The team has had five cases of MRSA over the past two years, according to team physician Tony Casolaro. The team's director of sports medicine, Bubba Tyer, added, "We're concerned about it. We don't want to lose any player. We don't want anything to affect their career and we want to do all we can do. It's a terrible infection that can cripple your team."

Isn't that about when they gave Art all this access to the team?

If anyone is interested, NFL Total Access is airing the Skins/Ravens scrimmage at 8:00 EST. This will either allow us to point & laugh  or drop to our living room floors in total awe of the greatest coaching staff ever assembled in NFL history.

A thread on Joe Gibbs sounding drunk when talking to the fans

It was HOT out there, I'm pretty sure the sun was starting to get to our great man and he was probably tired.

I turned off the broadcast before his comments but it could be his diabetes. My dad had adult on-set diabetes and when his blood-sugar would get low he sometimes would have slurring issues. My guess is that he probable just needed some food.

I'm pretty sure it had to do with the intercom system. When you speak into a microphone then hear yourself in a delay over the loud speakers throughout the stadium it makes you forget what you're saying or forget some syllabels

I think that maybe he is not good at talking "on the spot". He only seemed to "slur" when he was not sure what to say. Everything else was fine!

This seems kinda disrespectful and slightly blasphemous.

more like trying to talk over the PA system to 47000

with everything going on, an impromptu address to the crowd over a PA system, and being on the field for 4 hours in the heat...

cut him some slack

WP: Big pronouncements in August can haunt you in December

Clinton Portis on goals: "Winning the NFC East. Win the NFC championship game. Winning the Super Bowl. Rushing yards don't matter to me as long as I get a ring."

Chris Cooley on why he could care less about how many passes he catches: "We win the Super Bowl, it doesn't matter to me."

In Ashburn yesterday, David Patten said that for the first time since he was with the New England Patriots he feels his team is going to the Super Bowl.

And who can forget Mark Brunell's proclamation on Day One of training camp? "Anything short of going all the way would be a disappointment."

The Washington Wishful Thinkers are wrapping up their first week of training camp, and either the heat has been getting to them or they like doing Pro Football Weekly's job.

Look, I'm not saying don't talk Super Bowl behind closed doors -- especially if a team believes it has the goods to get to Miami in February. And, okay, not one of Coach Joe Gibbs's players has come out and actually predicted a championship. "If I had said, 'Hopefully, we'll win six games,' they would ship me out of here," Brunell said yesterday. "Thirty-one other starting quarterbacks should be saying the same thing."

But most players gunning for a championship don't publicly talk about it. At all. Especially in training camp. And if they do, their name is Peyton Manning, who's been to a conference championship game fairly recently. Manning saying, "This is our year" is justified and tolerable; he and the Colts have been at the doorstep for a while. Gibbs's club, which was 5-6 at one point last season? Not so much.

Talking about winning the Super Bowl is dangerous business, especially in August, when no injuries or issues stand in the way of a championship run. It's dangerous because the congregation begins holding the team accountable as if it's already a contender -- and no football demigod wants to enter a season thought of as a contender, especially St. Joe.

Gibbs's three greatest fears in ascending order: the wrath of the Almighty, 6-10 all over again and John Madden saying Joe Gibbs has the makings of a championship team.

It's why Gibbs recently had a little chat with his minions about running their mouths and giving the enemy grist. Gibbs knows if the masses believe and he doesn't deliver, he's right back to the late 1980s again, when he raised the Lombardi trophy one season and ended up 7-9 the next.

And the ES'ers get all huffy about it

I sent him this email in response....


Big Pronouncements in August Can Haunt You in December....Is our panties in a wedge today?


Living he in Carolina, the Panthers coverage is unbearable for a taterskins fan like me. Each and every interview from a player has the reference "its Super Bowl or Bust" in it. Theres wishful thinking in Carolina these days is that wrong also? How about Indy or even Dallas because of TO?

This is what makes the NFL great, almost every team and there fans get a fresh start, a new season. With it comes positive thoughts and ultimate goals, and parity says it could happen to any team.

If you want to sit behind your computer on a wonderful Saturady afternoon when football scrimmages and practices are taking center stage. Thats fine but lets keep the doom and gloom to yourself, because unlike you we enjoy football season with high expectations.

I saw that thread yesterday & was going to post it here, since I was willing to bet that it got deleted before it got past 3 posts.




NOBODY expects the Extremeskins Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, blinding homerism, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to Joe Gibbs, and nice red uniforms -
