Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

OTA - Off-Topic Activities #15

Welcome one and all to the OTA - Off-Topic Activities or Open To Anything or Oughtta Talk Alot or Open Thread All!. The best place to not discuss football at Pats Pulpit.


This is a thread for anyone who would like to enjoy some pleasant conversation that may or may not be football related. This is a place where some of us can get to know each other a little bit better, and on a slightly different level than other places on the site. A thread that may contain at times humorous dialogue, quotes, pictures, or anything else that might entertain. Remember to have a good time! But also please remember to keep it somewhat clean. We'd prefer innuendo over gory details.

Rules

All the rules are based on this: Have fun, but don't keep other people from having fun.

a) Don't troll each other, or attack other members. You learned this in kindergarten.

b) If a picture is NSFW (Not Safe For Work), do not post it as a picture. Instead post it as a link.

c) Be kind to newbies, and help them fit in. Remember to share your crayons.

d) If someone asks you nicely to steer clear of a topic, find something else to talk about.

e) Any and all other SBN and PatsPulpit rules apply. In other words, this ain't Vegas.

Rec this thread, so it stays atop the most rec'd fanposts. Unrec it when another thread is made.

One thing that's missing in the Super Bowl analysis: Points

The Patriots Offense scored 31.7% more points than the Giants Offense.
The Patriots Defense allowed 14.4% fewer points than the Giants Defense.

Average point differential for the Giants is -.4 points. Average point differential for the Patriots is 11 points.

Momentum, yada yada yada, peaking, yada yada yada. Whatever.

Looking back, Beane probably should have taken that GM offer from the Red Sox

just like the book and movie admit he should have played football for Stanford instead of going pro in baseball out of HS.

not if he made a huge amount of cash with his signing bonus

im not really sure if he would be able to be an effective GM of the Red Sox since the team’s spending policies differ from his philosophy of building a roster. i thought it was better that they hired someone inside the organization who has experience in the organization’s FO. they’re going to get 1 of the top 2 FA SP’s left anyway

I've looked up some mock drafts and a lot of them say this

and
32. Clemson DE Andre Branch as a pass rushing OLB
I’d bet someone $10 neither goes to New England

by freeland1787 on Jan 27, 2012 11:47 PM EST reply actions  

Depends where they're due to go

Belichick has drafted LSU DTs before fairly early in the second (Marquise Hill). And Andre Branch seems at first sight to have what Belichick wants in a 3-4 OLB (assuming Belichick sticks with the 3-4), so it really depends where he is on the board. Belichick won’t overpay, so it’s really dependent on whether another team will overpay.

Asked about the hospitality provided by the City of Indianapolis, Belichick had the line of the day.
"I never had too much hospitality here until I went for it on fourth-and-2, and since then, I’ve been greeted in a lot more friendly manner than I have in the past," Belichick quipped, causing stunned reporters to laugh out loud, their form of applause at a truly witty line and evidence that Belichick is entirely capable of self-depricating humor, even on the sport’s biggest stage.

talk a lot of trash

Homerism has infected our fan base badly and I think it might have reached the bloodstream. A large portion of our fan base (especially the noobs) refuse to look at anything that suggest a team can beat us and just blindly scream “We’re gonna win, just look at our offense, you can’t stop Drew Brees.” It is blind homerism at it’s finest. I’ve grown tired of a lot of the trash talking and wish some would just put down the drinks and open a book for once…..

It wasnt always like this….possibly the one thing I miss about our pre-Super Bowl win days….that these fans were still fans of other teams.

I wish we could actually put this philosophy to good use but we just love overlooking bad teams and generally just like to take one or two games off per year.

I checked the score on my phone (which wasn’t a smart phone because, hell this was 2008). This is how the game ended – his team was down by 1, and he got fouled. He missed the first free throw. He then deliberately banked the second shot off the rim, caught his own rebound and hit the shot at the buzzer to win.

So, in the end, I chose the right game to watch.

But…this year…yeah, sorry kiddo.

Awwww... you are a wonderful auntie!

Tell me that you are not missing his game for the Super Bowl (although I think it would probably take an act of God or Comcast to unglue me from the TV come Sunday)…

I actually got stuck “watching” the AFC Championship game that year by motorola Razr- I had the internet package for it which was freeze happy as all hell (I think I took the phone apart 4 times during that game, and it would have been more if I had been able to sneak away from work as often as I wanted to). I also had my best friend (and fellow Pats fan) texting me the score every time it changed and at the ends of quarters and the 2 minute warnings.

Luckily, I won't have to choose, but there's no way in hell I'm missing the Super Bowl.

This year, I have watched every game EXCEPT 3:

Bills (first meeting)
Steelers (saw the last 2 minutes)
Giants (saw the last 5 minutes)

Yeah… I think you should be REALLY close to your TV this time!

Living in South Jersey, I don’t get all of the Patriots games. This year, I did pretty well until they played the Eagles- after that, the Patriots were not the local game for the rest of the season. That being said, I did not see any of either Bills game (I worked during the first one, and the second one CBS was blacked out during the game). I watched the Steelers game in its entirety (varying amounts of attentiveness, but it was on the whole time, and watched the Giants game until just after the 4th quarter Gronk TD. I am not a good luck charm, but I am attached to seeing the last 4 quarters of football I will get this year.

The truth is though, you get nervous for the smallest of things. I remember getting stopped for speeding, the cop was an asshole yelling at me, and all I could think was “stay calm, don’t respond, you’re not a citizen”.

reminds me of the recruiters advice just before I went up to MEPS

basically, “Some of the people there are there to disqualify you, but they don’t know anything that isn’t in the file we sent up with you.”

They are in big trouble if they get caught telling you to lie, but they really know how to imply that you should.

Down the line I have to talk to someone from the FBI for my security clearance and they might have actually checked up on me, but I’m fine there.

Prop bets are bets that are placed on side items of games.

Could be number of catches by a certain receiver, result of the coin flip, number of penalties called, etc. Usually just a way to get more action.

My signature lines are usually lines from sports… the current signature came from last baseball season- the Phillies played a 19 inning game one night that ended with their back up second baseman (Wilson Valdez) as the winning pitcher.

Patriots fan view from media day

This part made me laugh:

My favorite Brady moment came while he was being questioned by Brett Keisel of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brady interrupted, before saying, “Hey, didn’t you strip sack me about nine weeks ago?” Then, after answering Keisel’s question, Brady pointed and ordered, “Now you stay out of my backfield!”

I started out college as an education major. Had a really bad practicum (very poor public school in Philly, with too many kids, a teacher who really could not handle them and acted totally burnt out), and changed majors to American Studies and planned law school right after college. Looking back, I wish I would have finished my teaching degree (parents paid for undergrad), then got a teaching job right out of school and saved the money to cash flow law school (if I still wanted to do it). Instead I have an undergrad degree that does not have a really good career chain attached to it, and 100k in law school debt.

Good luck with the detox- I can totally understand needing to clear out the toxins- I have largely given up drinking, and my skin is better for it.

Getting back serious with Weight Watchers was something I was planning to do after Christmas (and I did not count points over Christmas, as I had been weighing in, but off the wagon for a while), but as much as I thought I would indulge, I ate what I wanted, while just sort of being mindful, and lost over two pounds, which was a great springboard to getting me serious in time for the new year!

Well losing 11 pounds is really good.

That’s 10% of the weight you say you need to lose. So very impressive. If you keep doing 10% increments…. :)

I actually stopped drinking for about 3 weeks during the holidays, but I know myself to say I’ll be able to give it up completely. I’ve been fortunate enough to have reasonably nice skin, but I can’t escape the clutches of time forever.

I can’t imagine losing weight over the holidays. That is some serious discipline. So awesome! I basically ate…ALL THE COOKIES.

I know the feeling… I avoid functions at my law school because I am kind of embarrassed about what I do- that I have not made it.

The worst for me, though was a CLE that I had to go to a couple of years ago. I was unemployed at the time, and had applied for (and received) a tuition waiver from the attorney hosting it. It was a small class, 20 or so, and at one time he had us go around and introduce ourselves and where we worked, and what kind of law each of us did.

The teacher apologized afterward, but it still stung (although I tried to take the attitude of “It is what it is”

Fights are rarely fair down here….don’t know about other places. How me and my friends usually set someone up is one guy creeps around the back of him while another guy positions himself in front of him. Usually the guy in front of him might casually talk to him. The guy in back either hits him in the back of the head with his fist or a bottle. When he falls forward from the blow…..the guy in front of him hits him hits him as hard as he can. Both blows usually generate enough force to knock the intended target out.

That is definitely not how things work around here.

It happens, but rarely, and when it does shit tends to escalate beyond fists. There’s an unsaid understanding between guys that if you keep it mostly fair and you kick my ass then I won’t be coming back with a gun later. Generally, if several guys are jumping one dude it is not uncommon for complete strangers to jump in to even up the odds or at least break it up.
Honestly, what you just described is revolting to me even if the dude has it coming. If you can’t kick some dude’s ass one-on-one then you have no business starting shit with him. People who sucker punch a dude then have their friends jump him are going to have some serious payback coming to them where I come from and it usually won’t have the courtesy of fist fighting accompanying it.
Sorry, but maybe this is the difference between the size of cities we come from. This place isn’t big enough where you can pull something like that and expect never to run into that dude again. People know who you are and know how to find you.

It's just how it is here....I'm not saying I agree with it.

I’ve been jumped several times. Even if a fight starts out one on one, I guarantee that one of the guys friends gets involved and tries to fuck you over. I wouldn’t say it is “revolting”….the main purpose of getting a cheap shot on the guy is due to the fact that you are gonna be fighting multiple guys anyways. It’s just to make sure you take out the person you intended to. Multiple parties are gonna get involved regardless, it’s just a matter of “do they get involved after you lay their friend out or before” I choose after…

Two things:

To that, I have a couple comments.

The site asks subway riders to secretly take pictures of fellow attractive passengers and post them for comment.
The current pictures are all men.

What did I miss? It’s about taking pics of passengers, and only men were pictured… I doubt men would take picture of fellow attractive men, so that leaves us with women taking pictures of men…

So, if Boston will picture women, then why are there no women pictured?

Because when the article was posted, it hadn't launched in Boston yet.

And the sentence “the current pictures are all men” is referring to the fact that the current site (w/pix from NYC and London) only had pix of dudes.

But there aren’t any girls pics on Boston’s site at the moment, right?

It’s just pics of dudes. Just regular dudes. I don’t see what’s so offensive about it, it’s not like it’s pics of their asses or their packages. If the people don’t mind then what’s the issue? People take pictures of other people all the time. Now in AP’s case where some dude was trying to take pics of his friends bewbs, then yeah, that’s unacceptable.

Seriously, though, I can see how it would be annoying. I don’t like having my picture taken by people I know, much less some annoying stranger.

Okay so one of my ex's best friends used to try to take pix of my boobs all the time.

And I don’t have an incredibly impressive rack or anything, I’d just be sitting there eating a sandwich or something, and he’d stick his camera in my chest and try to take a photo. I thought it was annoying and pretty damn offensive, but am I just uptight?

Make the volume of the TV loud enough to shut down any potential conversations

This why I prefer to watch football at my house instead of going to a party. There are just too many casual fans especially if you are talking about a Super Bowl party. I like to watch the damn game and listen to what is being talked about…..not what so and so did last week and how you hate your job. I cannot stand to watch everyone bullshit with each other and then all of the sudden scream “Go, Go, Go!!!” or “Yes!!!” when a big play happens like they actually care what is going on. All of that bullshit enthusiasm is just for show to impress us real fans, so they can make themselves feel like they are apart of the atmosphere and being included even though they could really care less…..

I had the stomach flu during the Super Bowl 2 years ago. I was working at the restaurant that day (and was scheduled to work through the game for the first time ever, as my boss was making everybody who usually worked Sunday night work). I felt OK when I went in (around 2ish), but started to feel nauseous as it got closer to game time. I wound up puking about a half hour before kick off, and my boss kept me on because he did not believe that the problem was that I was sick- he thought I was playing it up to be able to go home in time to watch the game. He finally let me clean up and go home mid-way through the first quarter, and I got home in time to spend the rest of the game sick and miserable, and then was up most of the night with it.

But the irony is so much more fun when using it for a certain New York coach… kind of like calling Gronk or Wilfork “Tiny”

One of my old Army buddies has been talking shit

Every single game. He’s a huge RM81 fan that is still pissed the Pats traded him. And he’s basically a brother to me. So I’m looking forward to our win. MHK

I never trash talk...

But during the World Cup one of my mexican friends was really trash talking right before the Mex/Argentina game.. after Argentina kicked their asses and eliminated them, he wrote just saying “don’t say anything, I’m really pissed off”. I just laughed at him!

I think trash talking originates from a lack of confidence in your team.

It’s just another form of trolling.

Never thought of it that way

But I can see that… I just get really nervous before/during games, and if we lose, I don’t want to have it shoved in my face, so I don’t do it to others either :)

I made the mistake of dating a jets fan.

I never gloated during or after the 45-3 game. And I was rewarded with a J E T S jets jets jets text and a trash talking phone call at the end of the playoff loss last year. That pretty much sums up that relationship. I also didn’t mock the loss to the Steelers. Respect isn’t a one way street.
