Mettenberger will be the first quarterback taken in the draft next year. And he'll have the best career of all 2014 quarterbacks.

That's why it's an unpopular sports opinion.

If a pro sports team is ever put in Vegas the league should mandate their mascot be an alien.

Berman isn't great but to accept everything else about ESPN, even Bayless over Berman is crazy talk.

UFC should take away elbows.

All they do is cut guys and ruin good fights when a guy can't see through blood in his eye.

This thread has turned to what amounts to someone sticking their finger in their nose , flicking a booger out and then seeing what sticks to the wall.


What would stick to the wall other than the booger?

I actually like the guy before, but hadn't seen him in a while then I saw him this past weekend and he was just awful. Dude wouldn't shut up about squares and rectangles.

Berman's act has been tired for 15 years. He's just awful.

I think kind of the opposite. You should be able to elbow from any position

What usually constitutes winning strategy is aesthetically unappealling. Therefore, winning teams are often boring and uninteresting. Flawed losers are more entertaining and more embody the concept of "sportsmen".

If you root for a winner, you probably suck. I far prefer the losers. Which is to say, Barkley is more interesting than Jordan, Kelly more than Montana, Bonds more than Jeter, and Ovie more than Crosby.

Athletes who win have dedicated their lives to winning and nothing else. Which makes them inherently uninteresting people. They are empty vessels.


I've had very similar thoughts myself. It's kind of a paradox for me.

On one hand, I'm curious what makes certain teams and athletes successful, and I like exploring that.

But on the other hand, there is a point where dedication, discipline, the sort of focus that usually precedes success, precludes one from experiencing other things in life.

Any decent NFL athlete can play RB in the league if he has a good O-Line.
