That’s one of the more ridiculous posts I’ve read on PFT … which is saying a lot. I have no idea what you’re ranting about regarding putting athletes on pedestals. I’m talking to fools who don’t care that the Hall of Fame game has been canceled and who don’t appreciate all facets of the NFL season, including the preseason. I made absolutely no reference to players–certainly not one that could be construed as putting them on pedestals. You must be out of your mind.

Apparently you haven’t read many of my posts, but I’m not the hero-worshipping type. And if I were going to put people on pedestals, they’d be ordinary people struggling to deal with the hardships of life, not celebrities or superstar athletes. That doesn’t impress me.

Apparently I struck a chord with my comment about fantasy types so you’re just flailing back with anything that skips into your lil pea brain. I don’t care why you watch football. If your only interest is collecting stats for your side game, fine. But don’t come onto a post where people are frustrated about losing actual facets of the game, like camp, preseason, and free agency to act like blithering idiots. If the children weren’t posting “Duhhh, nobody cares about the preseason, nobody watches the Hall of Fame game,” I wouldn’t comment on their stupidity. Obviously some of us do watch that game. It means revenue to a town and football for those of us who love the game of football without the side bets.

Anything about putting players on pedestals is just some bizarre figment of your very strange imagination. How disappointing for someone with such a literary user name.

No, I enjoy being a woman and have no desire to take the field. But I’m probably just as qualified as most of the boys blah-blahing on this site. I’m certainly just as entitled to comment.

For cripes sakes could you put these athletes on any higher of pedestal? Just feed into their entitlement and ego’s why don’t you. They are not lawmakers, not world figures, not gods, not people of any importance outside of the city they play for, they are ATHLETES.

And you make a huge deal of ADULTS vs. fantasy league types. It doesnt matter why you like football or love football or pretend it’s the sole reason for your existance. The game of football is for everyone to enjoy no matter what the reason. So calm down with your holier-than-thou rhetoric because if you want to get into football qualifications i’m sure you’re lacking in every major statistical category.

The Hall of Fame game is a big deal to the people of Canton, Ohio. It’s the only game they get each year and generates a lot of revenue for the town. For those of us who’ve been watching football more than five minutes and don’t still smell of diaper ointment, it signals the start of the season. If you’re too ignorant to understand the value of preseason or to enjoy the traditions of the NFL, fine. Wallow in your ignorance. But don’t admit to it.

It’s just preseason right?

———————————-

It’s a canceled game. Do you see a signed agreement? I’m still hearing the same “almost” we’ve been hearing for weeks. I don’t believe in promises … a canceled game is real.

NOT TRUE !!…Players do not want to re-certify the union before next Thursday and, still have other issues about the agreement.Not Over Yet !!!!

Oh well, guess it’ll be better for the players.
