joking soccer is so 1998

This write up is awful and I don't even understand half the parallels. I like how they call P-Riv a douche, crybaby and whiner, in essence, while comparing him to Cristiano Ronaldo.

If anything England should parallel with the San Jose Sharks. Really? England is the Jets?

yeah, the writer hates the vikings, packers, and rivers

jay cutler exposed?

[Edited on June 1, 2010 at 3:13 PM. Reason : is he worse at QB or blogging?]

As long as he realizes Rivers is one of the top 3 players in the NFL I don't care if he hates him.

if you are a state fan, then you are obviously going to be biased towards Rivers- face it, while he was the best QB I've ever seen here, he does throw temper tantrums, does complain on the field, to his players, and to his coach... I'm not saying he isn't a good player, and that there aren't plenty of other players that do the same thing. But you can't say he doesn't do it simply because he is NCSU Alum

If rivers was a LB, a DB, or a DE then people would love him for talking trash, and would probably criticize him for not cursing when he does it.

I think Portugal could compare to UNC too, from this picture at least..

6/1/2010 3:34:19 PM

why you gotta be all gay about a bro giving another bro a lower abdominal massage?

6/1/2010 3:36:58 PM

^^^alot of people actually do praise his "fiery attitude" and "will to win"


but that is all in how you perceive his actions... you can see him as a highly competetive player, doing what it takes to win, and not afraid to say what needs to be said- or you could see him as a whiny QB who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut


I honestly could go on to defend both arguments, but I don't really care that much

hey, i agree with GGMon on something

there's a first

6/1/2010 3:43:37 PM

^ besides the grammatical errors I think that's pretty accurate

Rugby is far superior to soccer, IMO.
