So then the premise of Mr. Drew Brees as a "monster' player in a "big" game should be concrete, no?


I wouldn't say that. Although I would say that the premise of Mr. flybynight being a bit of an internet tool is pretty solid.

Stylistically, the word as used here "although" should technically be used with a comma after "that". "Mr." is capitalized in the wrong place, of course. I could go into another error, but I see that the ability of yourself to ascend to a higher intelligence is completely futile.

So, you agree that you expect Drew Brees to be exceptional in the Super Bowl (arguably the biggest game of the sport of football), yet you cannot grant the man a positive opinion in his "big" game stature? Again, confusing banter.

I've witnessed your responses to others. I'm simply treating you in a manner that is behooving of your academic stature and lack of tact.

He beat the Colts when they were undefeated as a Charger in 2004. He crushed their dream.

Well yeah, it's against S.O.P. when wearing them outside the heart cath lab.

I believe we're going to see the Drew Brees from the New England game on Sunday. Again, he's due for a monster game.


You said earlier that he played "well" against the Patriots.

So did he play "well" against the Patriots, or did he have a "monster" game?

The lack of coherence is emerging once again.

Yeah. Like I said earlier, he was incredible against New England. And I can't help think that he's due for that type of game. I don't think we're going to have a ton of trouble with the Colts front four. And the Colt's secondary isn't good enough to hold up in coverage and blitz at the same time. My prediction is that Brees plays lights out and wins the game MVP.

Is that really arguable?

I said many times that he played great against New England and the Giants, both big games at the time.

I do feel like when using "academic" words against pathetic assholes, it becomes contagious.

By the way, I do agree with your points there.

However, these games are not considered "big" at this time, correct?

I don't post much, but it's hard not to notice ol' Clooney when he enters the room.

And strangely enough, I heard "Fly By Night" on the damn radio last night!

Are you just bored?

This is ridiculous. I've watched a lot of football. Sometimes statistics are for fools.

Brees will be just fine Sunday. If the Saints lose, he won't be the reason.

By all accounts he was great in the New England game. Although we all found out New England wasn't quite as good as initially thought.

I agree. I'm not the one pushing stats as evidence here.

Yes. Lawyers make a living out of presenting facts as arguments against facts, let alone an assumptive argument based off of opinion. Everything is technically arguable, don't you have a degree in some sort of higher education?

College football fanatics that follow only college football would argue that the biggest game in the sport of football would be the BCS National Championship game.

I think both of those teams proved to be overrated as the season went on. Do you disagree with that?
