Who is the better athlete and who is more important - WR or DB?

Intangibles can make up for more physical limitations in athleticism at WR. Frankly, I would say that’s why white CB’s are very rare while white WR’s are more common and even elite at times.

You may not have as many freaks of nature at CB - like a Megatron - but you also have fewer Hunter Renfrow types on that side of the ball who pretty much run on nothing but intangibles.

As I said in my previous post, there’s less magic on defense and harder for 1-3 players to carry the whole group. Weak links get exposed more easily. It’s more often necessary to be able to physically defeat opponents on a game to game, player to player basis on that side of the ball to be successful.

Are posters on here really trying to sell this idea that this black chick is attractive?

That’s what makes it crazier. I don’t think the black chick’s ugly, but Helen is supposed to have “the face that launched a thousand ships.”

So we’re not only changing the race of Helen but making her rather bland in appearance. She isn’t even a beautiful black woman. And having a 5’1” biological woman playing one of the greatest warriors in fiction is even worse.

This is some of the dumbest shite. I just don’t get it at all.

Marino fans are like a cult. It’s always someone else’s fault. Even when Marino threw three picks in a loss at FSU that blew the 1980 Pitt team’s national title chances with four NFL Hall of Famers and at least two Pro Bowlers, you can blame everyone else.

the Super Bowl shite everyone is caught up in ,

Well, the point of the game is to win. Most who say “Marino would have done this, that, and the other if only he had had _____’s team” don’t know that he was one of four future NFL Hall of Famers (Jimbo Covert, Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson being the others) on the 1980 Pitt team. They also had Mark May and Hugh Green. That team didn’t win the natty - nor did the 1981 and 1982 teams that lost as the #1 team in the country.

The AFC was arse during Marino’s career, and he only lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion twice in the playoffs. He was 1-2 in the AFCCG - all at home. The two teams that beat him (1985 Pats and 1992 Bills) went on the suffer two of the worst defeats in Super Bowl history. They weren’t unstoppable juggernauts.

Marino was a great QB. I’m not saying he wasn’t. But he played 17 years, not just 1984. And if he were the superhuman GOAT some think he is, winning a natty with two Hogs and an ‘85 Bear in the OL and at least making it to more than one Super Bowl isn’t a real high standard. But Marino’s teams - in both college and the NFL - just had a tendency to frick up when it mattered most, and he deserves his share of the blame too. It wasn’t always just everyone else’s fault.

At least Burrow stuck the landing once in 2019.

impossible accomplishment.

If the guy just loves going to baseball games that much - and apparently he does - then good for him. Do what you love and frick everyone else. But as an “accomplishment,” I think it’s just ridiculous overkill with a lack of variety in experience and not much meaning in persistence.

Not too many people would want to see 10,000 baseball games even if they had unlimited time, money, and could teleport to and from the stadium.

I think The Last Jedi is the worst job of filmmaking in the history of film. All people wanted to see from it was peak Luke Skywalker kicking arse and sharing Force wisdom. Nothing else really mattered. Just get that part right. But they got it about as wrong as they could. Couldn’t have hardly got it worse if they tried - and shite, maybe they did.

And if that weren’t enough, killing off Snoke gave the last film nowhere to go. It never had a chance. And they end up bringing back Sidious, who should have been dead at least twice over in ROTJ. The ability to survive that just makes things like lightsaber duels seem silly. Sidious surviving also undermines the purpose of Anakin as the Chosen One.

I could have taken Mark Hamill, a long stick spray painted green, and my iPhone camera and made a film that would have been better received by fans.

I’ve always thought being a successful general is a lot like being a successful football coach. Coaching matters and some are better than others. but they’re not as important as the players on the field. A terrible coach can beat a great coach if his players are significantly better. A lot more mediocre coaches have won Super Bowls and national titles than mediocre rosters.

Anyway, I’m not an expert on Alexander, but I know he came to power at just 20 years old and inherited a favorable situation from his father. He may have been a military savant for all I know, but he might have been born on third base too.

Personally, my favorite conqueror is Napoleon.

If Nowhere Academy out in the sticks with 200 kids K-12 and pretty much nothing but parents and students in the stands can field football, basketball, and baseball teams, I think major universities could manage without all the fanfare we have today.

How many fans show up to P.E. basketball games fully funded by a school? Or backyard games for that matter? Do people not enjoy sports without anyone watching? Of course they do.

I think State U. could justify outfitting Lewis and Gilbert for extracurricular purposes whether fans show up to watch or not. And if they won a game, I bet they would be excited about it regardless of who is sitting in the fricking stands. There’s plenty of glory and sense of accomplishment to be found in the arena.
