  1. There might be a bit of bias. But this is for obvious reasons. The great majority of people in this country, and logically, football fans are Christian. Also, Christianity is based a lot on being a good person, e.g. Sermon on the mount, Golden rule, etc. Therefore, if one claims to be of firm Christian faith, we generally view these people as being good guys, since we are also Christian (we project). Lets complicate this a bit. Does race play a role? Some of the worst or "bad guy" characters in the NFL (Owens, Ray Lewis, Cam Newton, Marshawn Lynch) also claim strong Christian faith, but are never perceived as "good guys". Personally, I think it is a combination of faith, race, and general congenial demeanor. There is a romanticized collective vision of the "good guy" that has never been historically associated with anything bad or evil. It's an archetype. White, Christian, Protestant, honest, loyal, hard-working, family oriented, articulate, neighborly, duty, etc. Peterman and McDermott both epitomize this archetype. It reminds me of an old Onion article: Pro Athlete Lauded For Being Decent Human Being See the connection to race in this satirical article?
  2. True. And he is an elitist Harvard atheist!
  3. Incredible title to this thread! Obvious hyperbolic satire!
  4. Star-crossed lovers are always doomed from the start. It means that they are destined for a tragic end to the relationship.
  5. Thank you! When the s*** hit the fan in Grenada, I saw it all.
  6. Dang. I wanted to see Peterman once more.
  7. Completely agree. Seeing the awfulness of Peterman is like when Stern watched the Magic Hour.
  8. I still think there is a chance for Allen to be very good. But I have my doubts about Peterman as a Reich type QB.
  9. No. Being at the game you could hear 100 fans yelling "throw it" because Benjamin was wide open seconds earlier. He threw it too late.
  10. Jimmy Kimmel and Sean Penn need to shut their mouths!
  11. I was in Tempe. Total ripoff. Had to fly back to Miami with a plane full of Ohio State snow birds. Miserable.
  12. Ryan was a better hire than McDermott, from a marketing stand point and possibly a football stand point. We were in every game with Rexy, can't say the same now
  13. Good day for Watkins, Woods, and Goodwin. Hogan tomorrow.
  14. Thanks Alex Jones. Happy you're a Bills fan, despite the globalists.
  15. Nonsense. Vegas gets tourists from all over the US and the globe by the millions. NFL is another attraction. My family are locals and we bought season tickets, which are almost sold out. It's a win win. If they're good you go the game. If not you sell the tickets. It works in Vegas. The team even stopped locals from selling their hockey tickets on Stubhub. Its Vegas. So, the local fan base is kind of irrelevant.
