tbf punter (which is what he was) is slightly more macho than kicker
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:58 (ten years ago) link
sounds to me like he's an NFL analogue to Mick Foley

doh punter lol and actually it might be less
― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:59 (ten years ago) link
I find him really obnoxious and unhelpful, overall. Also he is delusional about how good a punter he was.

punter is the ultimate nfl nobody

i keep waiting for advanced analytics types to start rallying around punters as incredibly important and worthy of left-tackle type money but i havent seen it yet.

on a per play basis you could make a case but too few plays overall

i've often wondered how self-styled alpha males get past the apparent paradox that whining about feminism is sorta *deeply un-masculine*
for "gamers" it almost seems as if they see themselves under assault on both sides of that continuum--in a way that strikes me as (and this is obvious) adolescent "mom and dad can't tell me what to do" stuff in the extreme. growing up is hard, etc.

4chan video games board banned all gg chat a while back but people keep bringing it up and getting legitimate (word used v lightly) threads locked down so now there appear to be a/multiple bot/bots (or just really bored humans) that spam threads with pro/anti gg stuff which often results in locks and the meta shitposting has started to spiral and every couple threads you'll see a desperate comment like "i just want to talk about video games pls all of you just go away" and it is all very lol

weirded out by how oblivious these guys are to the fact that no sane human or institution that isn't already part of their thing is going take it seriously at at this point, they're just locked into this weird loop of repeating the same set of talking points to people who are never going to believe them
every time a new piece pops up from a media outlet basically saying "we are completely done with this shit, bye" you get the inevitable upvoted comments from recently created accounts being all "goodness, it seems there's really been a misunderstanding - let me reassure you that that is not what gamergate is about :)" and it's like five year olds trying to fool grown adults and thinking it might work
I guess ad guys for companies being twitchily risk-averse and pulling ads in response to e-mail spam would muddy the water a bit and make them feel like they have real power/moral force but surely sooner or later someone's gonna get the memo to the advertisiers that caving into hate campaigns from risible manbabies is a worse look for them
