Around SBN: Notre Dame's Turnaround: How Have The Irish Done It?

I hate the Jets.


I may have mentioned this.

In any case, given that hatred, I must say this pleases me to no end.  It's utterly tasteless, just so you can't say I didn't warn you.

The views expressed in these FanPosts are not necessarily those of the writers or SBNation.

It's just...weird.

And yes, I too hate the Jets. I want them to tread the line between “overrated team that finishes season on five game losing streak and gets swept by the Patriots” and “struggling team is lucky to win five games, and is swept by the Patriots”.

Can Abbrederis shoot the long three and effectively distribute the ball to his big men?

That is correct.

It was 49-50-1 in favor of the Jests before last year’s 2nd game, hosted by the Pats.

Speaking of trolls

So, yeah, comments locked
Comments locked. Five people banned. Again, if you don’t like the article, if you don’t like the site, don’t read us. Move on to something else. Acting like a bunch of mindless douchebags will get you a quick ticket to bansville.

Kindly take a moment to read the community guidelines. Also, this is just a general rule of thumb, it’s never advisable to insult or piss off the site admins. This is not a democracy. People do not vote around here as to who is or isn’t banned. It’s at the discretion of the site admins. So, in general, be nice to them or you are gone. Pretty simple, isn’t it. Even for Texans fans, I’d imagine.

The Colts posters

were not too bad. The Stampede Blue admins are/were mindless douchebags. Especially that clueless ShakenBake. (think that was his name, I barely remember, somebody of the same name was trolling PFT about spygate a while back) He banned me from there because I wouldn’t acknowledge that the investigation by Tennessee into Manning’s horrid behavior toward the female trainer should be considered an unbiased investigation. He said I could come back in a few days if I asked. I never asked and never will. For what? To be at the mercy of some mindless douchebags on a power trip in their small pond?

Few people wield authority with wisdom. Certainly none of those mindless douchebags do.

Apparently disagreeing with BigBlueShoe automatically means you’re a “mindless douchebag”. Boy, that isn’t a delusion of grandeur at all…

I hate the Jets, too!

But I LOVE to hate the Colts. The Jets are loud and stupid, but they just don’t have a good enough recent track record to really get me excited about hating them. Even if they blow up the world this year and win it all, EVERYONE knows this is a one-shot deal. This roster was built to win a ring this year, and that’s it.

My hatred (and love thereof) of the Colts is different. The Colts present a long-term, viable, fully hate-able enemy. You know the Pats are almost certainly going to play them every year, and the games are almost always very exciting and very meaningful, in terms of playoff tiebreakers, etc. Add to that the Manning-Brady media feud, throughout which Brady was, until very recently, universally disrespected as a “system QB,” and it really just gets under my skin. I don’t feel the need to make rational, logical, seemingly objective arguments against the Jets – I just say “The Jets suck,” and that’s all I need to say to vent my hatred. But with the Colts, I feel like I have to put actual thought and effort into my rants….which is why I love to hate them. Hating the Colts is SO much more interesting than hating the Jets. At the end of the day, the Jets are detestable for the same reasons that everything else in this world is detestable – they are obnoxious, stupid, self-absorbed, short-sighted, self-aggrandizing, moronic, etc etc etc . But the Colts are none of those things – they are far more like the Patriot than we as fans are really comfortable with admitting, yet we couldn’t be farther apart in our respective allegiances. So yeah, the Jets suck. But the Colts suck better.

Get your minds out of the gutter.

I don't think you could ask for a more challenging rival than the one we're currently confronting.

Stateless, almost devoid of political ideology, diffuse, technologically proficient, unbound by responsibility to a society with nothing to lose. Tall order.

Notably less interesting than the ruskis, tho. I’ll give you that.

Difficult to fight.

Because fighting is exactly what they want. Every terrorist killed becomes a martyr and recruiting ploy for 10 more impoverished, hopeless, angry young man or woman. At least the Soviets didn’t actively benefit off our political and proxy-military conflicts…that made things a lot easier.

Important to note, however, that they lack the capacity to destroy the entire world with the push of a button. I say that Cold Was was more challenging because the stakes were literally all of earthly existence, as we know it. Though acts of terrorism are horrific and, appropriately, terrifying, they will never reach the destructive potential of the Cold War conflicts. The only way terrorism has that sort of widespread effect is if it goads the powerful into destroying themselves; and even then, it will likely be a slow, almost unseen decay.

by nbradley07 on Sep 14, 2010 9:51 AM EDT up reply actions  

It’s only because we’ve become so effeminate that we even worry about ‘terrorist acts’. If you look at the vast majority of history, losing hundreds if not thousands of people a year to military foes was pretty standard even if there was no major war on. Just look at the British during the 18th and 19th centuries for example.

by quadruple option on Sep 15, 2010 2:15 AM EDT up reply actions  

Effeminate?

I prefer to think of it as having higher standards for what constitutes acceptable human living conditions. Also, the evolution and adoption of democratic values throughout western societies has tethered to the ability of governments to wage war to the willing approval of the people. Naturally, people not liking to be killed very much, they don’t often approve of government policies that result in wars with high death tolls. Governments have found a way around this, to an extent, by exploiting brief by powerful public anger (See Afghanistan), exaggerating the dangers of not confronting an enemy (See Vietnam) or outright lying about an enemy’s capabilities (See Iraq). Overall, peoples in democratic society just aren’t going to put up with being sent to the chopping block on a near-daily basis without some very, very solid justifications.

Anyway, if rampant savagery resulting in mass death is the hallmark of masculine society, I’m going to prefer the effeminate society. I like my cozy, non-life-threatening amenities.

Good luck with your guys

I’m sure once the new guys (you’ve got what, 3 rookie starters?) get adjusted, you’ll start rolling pretty well.

Loved seeing Ronnie Brown jump over the pile again (against another team of course)

He’s a great player, you must be thrilled to have him back

Keep the faith!

And thus.

1. Jets players sexually harassing a reporter from TV Azteca (wow, that was surprising given the maturity of their management)
2. Schottenheimer and Ryan likely to face sanctions for illegal off-season workouts.

No. Class.
I hated the Giants after 07 but right now they’re probably #2 on my favourite team list simply because of my hate for the Jets.A ctually, right now the Ravens are my favourite team.
