I doubt they get the CFB, although that would be nice, and may help in getting a future SB here.

On a somewhat off topic note, with each NFL team getting nearly 227 million dollars in just revenue sharing this year they can just stop asking for huge amount of tax payer money for big time stadium upgrades. Craziness

should we dedicate a thread to Liver Pooty's twitter?

His trolling of Bonnell shows no mercy.

him constantly repeating it is odd. why the hell would you share that on twitter more than once? I wouldn't do the one time to begin with...

Edit: wait a second... what the hell? why did he reply with that to that exchange about journeymen!?

I'm sad his father died, but damn. He's said it 259 times. Said he was crying while breaking the news last night, and brought it up again tonight. He treats people like garbage on twitter. He has this I'm better than you attitude. Ridiculous.

I only troll Bonnell because hes a smart ass who acts superior to any average fan that ask him a question and belittles them.

Rick seems to have misunderstood Joseph's point about the length of the Jackson story. I actually think Rick has a point but he's coming off as petty.

Also, how the **** am I the one that's blocked?

yeah it really was a truly bizarre response from Ricky, a bit like "Don't use facts to argue with me, don't you know my dad died???"

You're right to mock him Pooty, he is a knob, your tweets also give me joy

It was something about Luol Deng's free agency last year. I can't remember what they said, but someone had a legitimate rebuttal to one of his points and questioned him on it. I said "that doesn't fit the narrative he's going for."

Bonnell called me a drunk once because I called out his ridiculous biases towards certain players on the team. This was a couple years back, pretty sure it was after he made several tweets in a row praising Mullens. I've never even drank. Good times.

He's back on the my dad died ordeal again tonight. The man was 94 years old. Old people die. That's what happens

94 is a pretty good innings, I would be satisfied with that.
