It's all over Fatman calls it quits

[SR]

Thank goodness

[DenBronx]

I only followed him during the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. Haven't cared much for him since.

[DenBronx]

So he quits because the NFL has become too political? What a dope feign.

[Northman]

Thank goodness

Lol, agreed.

[MileHighCrew]

Kevin Smith quit?
7071

[Dreadnought]

They were pretty good a few years back, but have declined markedly in quality. I rarely read the site at all last season. They should have stuck to nuts and bolts football, but got addicted to posturing some time back.

[Dzone]

He came across a little self righteous there. He wants to blame the NFL for making him a shitty husband and father. lol

[nevcraw]

I have enjoyed their opinions and content... sure beat bleacher report or Mile High.

[TXBRONC]

I think Top has been posting over there I wonder what he'll do now?

I agree with Douglas Lee that there is a lot of hypocrisy in the NFL, and that the owners are at the forefront (and, he is right that fans seem to side with management too much). However, the problem is the society as a whole. We chase money too much, and make it our god. Turning your back on the NFL isn't going to change it. A lot more has to change.

[tomjonesrocks]

I liked them overall. Was on my netvibes dashboard and I'd click time to time.

Please elaborate on what you believe to be the hypocrisy of the NFL. Also, how would you change it? What answers do you have if you believe that theory?

No, he said that he's become more political, and principled. He doesn't feel that the NFL fits within his moral framework any longer. He changed, moreso than the NFL.

Top? Wow, I wondered what happened to him. I thought maybe he stopped watching football once Orton quit

Sorry I meant he didnt like the politics of football and how they take advantage or abuse players. So yeah he got into the politics himself but when he started digging he didn't like what he saw.

As a fan, yeah I love football. I want it to be safe for players but at the same time I don't want to hear them crying. They make wayyyy too much money for me to care. I just want to know what time the game is starting. I don't want to hear any politics, even from Bob Costas about gun control or whatever.


The players have a union. They should be more than happy for that.

Top posted in the Music thread yesterday. Two posts.

Nope, haven't entered a post over there in months, or anywhere, for that matter.
But I do lurk a little, as you can see here, although I don't spend a lot of time
doing even that. As Canmore implied, however, you can occasionally catch me
in the music thread.

It's always good to "see" you guys & gals, though. :)

[Northman]

Good to see you Top.

Why not rejoin the fun.

[Simple Jaded]

Top is mah dawg.

[Jsteve01]

I don't think I ever visited that site unless someone here linked it for discussion. Maybe Keith Olberman's recent rant made him rearrange his priorities.

[Dzone]

Welcome back Topscribe!

[SR]

Top? Is that really you?

[Dzone]

Olberman sucks, but he makes a good point there

[Buff]

Never really found any value in IAOFM. Knew of its existence but it always felt like a fan trying to take themselves too seriously to me. This only reinforces that belief.

I didn't subscribe to his blog, but only read a couple of his entries when links were posted here. I sort of liked his perspective at times. I enjoyed his break down of the zone scheme with the spread option a few years ago

[Northman]

Saw this in the comment section, does anyone know if this is THE Lonestar? Aka Jrwiz.


Is there any chance we can get Lonestar to run the site?

[nevcraw]

lol

Lol, I would say especially from Bob Costas. :-)

Agreed

Jrwiz running a website that's a scary thought.

I lost a ton of respect for that guy when he did that. Sports has no place for their little platforms. Wait until after the game if you feel that way Bob!

Yeah, 90% of everyone would get put on IGGY alert.

The height of arrogance for him to think the country gives a rats ass about his political opinions

[dogfish]

i thought it was you?

[Simple Jaded]

Jrwiz with Authoritah?

Sounds like Alistor V2.0.

[DenBronx]

Guys change their names so much on here it's hard to keep track of who is who. Then they come back as an alias and stir shit up again.

[iLands]

None of you guys are mourning Doc Bear? He was the reason to read that site and was a font of insight. The others aren't worth reading, but Doc is excellent.

[Northman]

Did Doc die? I was under the impression just the site was going down.

[topscribe]

Did Doc die? I was under the impression just the site was going down.
No, Doc wrote a farewell post of his own. I'll have to say it was a bit classier than Doug's.

[EastCoastBronco]

I enjoyed the site.
I always got a kick out of the immediate post game analysis articles.

Uh, from me to you, shut the **** up!!

Now, on to new business. A new site has formed with a lot of those same people: http://in-thinair.com/
