    Hey Thief, every summer every NFL team sets up a "smoke tent" where they go to beat the shit out of each other in private. It's part of the game.

  2. Bailey forgot the first rule of Smoke Tent.

    I don't think that's so clear. I won't say he is, but he is definitely in the conversation. Some people think Farve is the greatest, that's a joke.

    That's enough for a great HoF career for any quarterback, Brady is only 30.

  5. I think we are seeing 3 of the 5 best quarterbacks ever to play the game right now.

  6. who is the third?

    edit: lol, you probably mean Favre. I've always been of the opinion in sports that being good for a really long time doesn't make you great. See: Cal Ripken, Roger Clemens

    He's won superbowl's, his record is good, and he's thrown more TD's than anyone in history. By your logic Marino is also a shitty quarterback.

  9. I may be overestimating past Quarterbacks, but also have to remember that a lot of them had less time to put up the #s they did. I won't deny that Brady is worthy of an entrance to the HoF, or that he is a top QB. And if I have feel free to slap me. But he's also always had either a good defense to get him back the ball (See his first super bowl victory where there were 14 points on turnovers, and the final was what, 20 19 or something, so he lead two field goal drives and scored with the help of his defense). And the past few years he's had an incredible offensive line.

    While Stallworth and Welker aren't OMG THE BEST RECEIVERS EVER, they're still good, Welker is your perfect slot man, he runs the routes effectively and can also lay down a powerful hit, just the kind of person you want as your third receiver. He's a solid QB that when not under pressure doesn't make mistakes at all, he's got a great mind I guess is the way to put it, and I do and have said I think he's the best leader you can have out there, and probably one of the brightest QBs, but under pressure this year he kinda makes me go "Can people really think he's the best?" because I don't think he handles it well at all. But that could be attributed to the fact, he's not pressured often, so how can you be good at dealing with pressure if you never face it?

    I can't argue that Brady doesn't deserve to be in the HoF though. He does. And I may be overrating past QBs, because I've never actually had a chance to see them play.

  10. From Peter King on CNN.

    "Seems that the Packers have this 2007 tradition that started the first week of the season. Instead of a rookie getting the donuts at Stadium Bakery across the street from Lambeau Field, coach Mike McCarthy gets a few dozen the morning before each home game. And in the team meeting and the quarterbacks/wide receivers meeting that morning, the donuts are devoured.

    One of the donuts is a plain, small, crescent-shaped brown thing, with a couple of small ridges. Glazed. When McCarthy brought them in at the beginning of the season, Brett Favre took one look at them and christened them "turds.'' A couple of times Favre has had to remind McCarthy to "remember the turds.''
