Re: NFL Off Topic

Lol no it isn't because again one is legal and other isn't.

I'm guessing you've used a corked bat, have you ever played with a pair of these "illegal gloves"?

The legality is irrelevant in this discussion. He made a great point about one side gaining an advantage (batting) against another. That's what kills my comparison.

I've used the gloves and I'm amazed at how they just stop the ball in your hands. The technology is amazing. My first thought was how on earth are these things legal?

Re: NFL Off Topic

FWIW, it has been shown that a corked bat provides no benefits (outside of the placebo effect), so I don't know that it's a great analogy.

Some of y'all acting like these crazy catches weren't being made before the evolution of these gloves. Probably believe a pair of Lebron's give you a bigger advantage on the court than a pair of UA Shoes or Adidas.

Good one man you got me and you are super funny. My next post was going to be just what you said but in the basketball section.

Like the Chicago Bears 30 years ago, the Carolina Panthers have taken the NFL by storm. But one of the key members of the 1985 Bears believes that one of the key members of the 2015 Panthers is spending too much time trumpeting his exploits.

Specifically, the MVP of Super Bowl XX would have a specific response to the touchdown celebrations of the NFL’s likely current MVP.

“It’s disrespect,” defensive end Richard Dent told Jarrett Bell of USA Today.

So what would Dent have down about it?

“I’m going to knock your *** out of the game. That would’ve been my approach,” Dent said. “At some point in the game — not with a cheap shot — I’m going to try to get a shot that puts you out for the day. That’s the risk when you want to showboat all the time.”

Dent has some simple advice for Newton and those who would be inclined to excessively celebrate.

“Act like this is what you’re getting paid to do,” Dent said. “But these kids, that’s what you get in the Twitter, Facebook world. It’s ‘Look at me!'”

The irony, of course, is that Dent and the Bears pulled the ultimate ‘Look at me!’ move with The Super Bowl Shuffle. Recorded on December 3, 1985 — nearly two months before they played in the Super Bowl — the notoriously bad (but nevertheless Grammy-nominated) song included this verse, “sung” by the guy who’s now bashing Newton: “The sackman’s comin’, I’m your man Dent. If the quarterback’s slow, he’s gonna get bent. We stop the run, we stop the pass, I like to dump guys on their [***].”

We can only imagine what a then-55-year-old former Super Bowl MVP would have said about Dent and his teammates at the time.

The funny part is that Cam is as big as he was when he played (according to Pro Football Reference), so I doubt he would've done much damage unless he's going for Cam's knees.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I'll be completely honest Cam/Panthers were not on my radar this year until that lady wrote that "editorial". Since then I'm all in on the Panthers I hope they score 10 TDs in the super bowl and do a professionally coordinated team dance after everyone. The growth of Cam Newton is being skipped over by media just waiting for him to impload. Dab on em Cam, dab one em.

I agree, and as far as his endzone dance goes. I've seen far worse. It's a shame that superficial crap is taking away from what is more or less Cam Newton's breakout season in terms of being a leader and a top flight QB.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I want Cam to keep styling on 'em.

Cam shouldn't be the MVP, tho. Hell, he might not even be the best player on his own team.

Who is your MVP?

Why shouldn't Cam be MVP and what makes Carson Palmer more valuable than him while taking everything they have both done(whether it's in their control or not)into consideration?

I want to see him win it just to see the outrage that's going to follow up, which is going to be worse than it has ever been because of..."reasons", lol.

It is a shame, most definitely.

However, he has no one to blame for it but himself.

Watt, this year over Cam this year? Makes literally no sense, had you said Kuchely it would've at least been an interesting conversation.
