Historical memory at the drop of a hat, narrative of increasing specialization, and explanation why at the professional level, it's very difficult for a specialist to be good at other specialized positions (such as punter and kicker.) Obviously a bright guy and endearing if you like rooting for the dark side. I take rivalries in sports to be equatable with the antagonisms of professional wrestling. The difference is the particular obnoxious qualities of certain fan bases adds a charge to the animous. Anyway, it's fun to revile the Sith Lord and Tom Terrific. ESPN sycophancy over the years has also contributed to why they are fun to hate, but as human beings, of course, they possess admirable qualities . . . alright, folks, go ahead and report😈 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with overconfidence off of the 51 - 3 drubbing of the Raiders and consequent partying to excess before the game, he's the main reason we haven't won a Super Bowl.

He never answers anything from the media that is relevant to his teams circumstances. A reporter gave him a chance to talk about something he enjoys that's isn't relevant to his team in the moment and he showed he's happy to talk, was even thankful for being asked such a question. I think he respected the question more than anything, which is why he elaborated so much. I found it interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
