  1. It frees Rex up to focus on other things and possibly details, while Rob helps implement the complex defensive scheme. This is fine folks...

     

    Plus he has someone on staff willing to tell him he's doing something stupid, instead of a yes man telling him he's getting shafted by the refs/league/etc.

  2. football can be enjoyed at multiple levels. most fans don't understand what they're seeing, and could care less.. because it in no way impacts the enjoyment they get from watching a game.

    at it's simplest level, you can watch the ball.. those trusted to advance it, and those trusted to stop them. that in itself, is a compelling ballet of brutal individual battles. there's no need to for a strategic understanding of how and where these anonymous gladiators meet each other, play after play - all one needs is an appreciation of how fiercely contested those meeting are.

     

    some fans think they understand what they're seeing, but their opinions are less their own - than the product of popular opinions shared by others - who also think they understand what they're seeing. the author of this piece fall into this category of fan... but his personal revelation regarding his limited understanding of the game doesn't impress me, because he qualifies his lack of understanding by assuming the game cannot be understood by anyone other than those in the huddle or on the sideline. that's just being lazy. there are no secrets on the football field - especially after the whistle.

    I disagree, he is not saying the game cant be understood. He is saying that without knowing what play was called and whether it was correctly communicated, any assumption made about what went wrong is only that, an assumption. Might be correct, might not.
  3. The O's will be across the street from Hammer

    Nothing personal Hammer, but Steve-O has it right. You have the rockingest parking lot, but the lot across the street is awesome! You can still get a spot by 8:30, they have a good garage band (literally in the garage), and even make space for our crappy old RV. Plus the ladies love the indoor bathroom, even though it is on a bizarrely elevated toilet (my theory is that it improves the camera angles). Nothing better than Bills tailgating, as seen on Deadspin......
  4. What kind of question is that? Do you even watch the games, bro?

    Every single one, bro!

    I was wondering the same thing. Really, I'm wondering if he left out some punctuation? Is he asking why we watch as in the reason, or is he asking if we literally watch? That is, should there be a comma after why? Am reading too much into this?

    What's unclear about it? He asked if the OP even watched the game, I asked why he bothered, Why bother to watch the game if you're already so sure of the loss? Jesus people, have some kind of freaking hope.
