Seriously, read it. It’s very interesting.

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😈

He is the best defensive mind of all time and the best special teams mind of all time. 

 

 

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. But yes, a gifted SOB.

After videotaping practices, stealing playbooks, videotaping super bowl walkthroughs, using late substitutions/formations that are banned the next season, misrepresenting injury reports, having “doctors” that aren’t medical doctors supplying “supplements” to the team, and having support staff that refers to himself as “the Deflator, 

we’re all super evil for expecting the worst from a superlative character who should probably replace Lombardi’s name from the trophy.

Keep that up, and this thread will get moved to 'P, P, & P'.

Yeah, but the Nazis clearly had the best uniforms.

Oh yeah, that mitigates everything. 🙄

Naturally, one cannot condone illicit activities or grave evil, but sartorial splendour is underrated.

(Didn't want to answer seriously and thought the fella might implicitly recognize his ire was not apt for humorous badinage.)

An uncomfortable but true thing.

If one is being serious (against my intentions here, actually,) the fascist aesthetic as a whole, its heavy-handed "monumental" giganticism, the sort of thing evident in Speer's architecture for instance is grandiose, oppressive, obvious, as well as jejune. The idolization of heroic, youthful masculinity, when scrutinized, indicates a truly immature state, a lack of developed capacity to recognize beauty in the ephemeral, the imperfect, that which endures time and its complexities. All that said, they nailed the uniforms.
