You know your team is bad when you’re worse than miami in the AFC east.

Are you talking about the Jets, Patriots or Bills?
If Its the Bills you are pointing at, they are 3-3, just like every other team in the AFC East. 
I understand not liking the opponents of your favorite team, but you take your hate to a whole other level. You trash talk Buffalo every chance you get, even if it has nothing to do with the Jets. Does your girlfriend have a crush on a Bills fan? Did your mom divorce your dad and marry someone from Buffalo? Did the 90&#039;s bother you because the Bills always smacked around your Jets? What is it? Help out PFT Planet and let us know who or what pissed on your corn flakes???]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me give you a few names and then try to tell me your &#039;cells&#039; hold water - Bonds, McGuire and Clemens...


&quot;2ruefan says: Oct 17, 2012 5:05 PM

Roids don’t make anyone a better athlete. IMHO that’s a big misconception.

They only allow you to retain more water in the cells as you work the muscle, hence more mass even when they are worked. (Which is why they are used so much in Body building)

But the idea that somehow Roids turn you into a superstar is just not factual.

Take Tony Mandarich as exhibit A. He was HUGE, and STRONG and considered a can’t miss superstar. Even ON Roids in the NFL initially he was a bust.

They don’t make you faster, or more coordinated, or give you better technique or provide you with better hand-eye coordination. All they do is allow your muscles to maintain more mass, and consequently more strength.
