LOL, whatever. Brett Favre is a royal douche and I was hoping Wooten broke him in half.

 

You can laugh it off all you want, but what's it say about you that you feel that way? I mean, honestly...wishing that upon anyone is just...it makes you a bad person, and if that's what sports brings out of you, you need to not watch them.

This has always been my problem with Bears fans and their general arrogance that they get from who knows where. They're so easy to dislike because they have that "Cub" like mentality that they're the most awesomeist thing ever when in fact, they aren't. They want praise for everything their team does, but don't like to give praise to anyone else. When they win on a fluke play, it's part of the game, when they lose, it's not because the other team beat them, it's because they didn't show up, or some other such nonsense.

 

I don't apply this mentality to all Bears fans, either...but there are the many, as I like to put it, 'Da Bers" fans...and this is directed at you if you're amongst them.

Have you had a s***ty day or something? You've basically described every NFL fan across the country. They have made movies about NFL fans and they ridiculous amount of hope that abounds before every season starts. Have you ever actually lived anywhere else in the country? I can tell you first hand that eve Bengals and Browns fans think and act that way about their teams. Its the reason the NFL is the most popular sport in the country.

No, it doesnt. Wishing Brett Favre gets sacked so f***ing hard that he comes out of the game makes me and the other 90 percent of NFL fans who were thinking the same thing completely awesome.

There are equally stupid people in a lot of places. So it's ok for you to be stupid, too?

 

If this is the reality of 99% of NFL fans, then 99% of NFL fans are useless pieces of inhumane s*** when broken down to their true selves. If sports bring out the worst in people, then they've missed the ENTIRE point.

You are the one who thinks supporting a team blindly is a negative, I call it being a fan, and in reality its the most pure thing about being a sports fan.

 

Maybe you should concentrate on something a little tamer...knitting perhaps?

[SoxFan1]

Nite and Y2HH have ruined this thread for me. Thanks guys.

Not what I said WHATSOEVER.

 

I support the White Sox blindly, and that's not a negative, nor did I say it was. Supporting a team, blindly or otherwise, has NOTHING to do with wishing injury upon competing teams/players, nor taking pleasure out of the injury of others. To me, that's not being a sportsman, that's being a piece of trash.

 

And I stand by it.

WTF? DO you even know what posts you are quoting anymore? Have a good day guy, hope it gets better for you.

When Cutler wins a single playoff game in the NFL, he will start getting more respect from these types -- and not until. I love Cutler, he plays hard and takes risks, and he's fun to watch because of these things...but in the NFL, he's proven absolutely nothing yet, to pretend or to say otherwise is false.

I don't think the majority of people are pissed about Dilfer because he says what Cutler does wrong, it's just that unlike some of the other analysts, he completely ignores any type of positives surrounding the Bears. Which, honestly, I could care less about but I know what you are getting at

 

Sure he mentions his great tools and whatnot, but the hatred is very noticeable. Cutler is having a really good season for having a TERRIBLE offensive line that has been moved around like a game of chess and also in a new offense with a large group of #2 receivers (but with talent) at best right now. Sure he makes mistakes, everyone sees that and knows that but if you are an analyst, analyze. Don't bash all day, he has literally bashed the Bears (now the first team to clinch a playoff birth) more than any other team that I can remember. It's hilarious

 

If we were the Cleveland Browns/Buffalo Bills playing out of our minds like this, everyone would understand the hate. This team has a very talented QB with some talent around him and a very talented defense but overall is inconsistent BUT has gotten the job done and is in the playoffs. Recognize DILFER

How is a body outline of someone, AFTER they were injured = Wishing they get hurt.

 

You're way off base here...especially with me, since you have no idea of my feelings for the Bears or Favre.

[Y2HH]

WTF? DO you even know what posts you are quoting anymore? Have a good day guy, hope it gets better for you.

 

I'm having a fantastic day, thanks for asking.

 

And I know exactly what posts I'm quoting, you don't, you've made that abundantly clear.

 

I've tried to clear it up for you multiple times now, but you still don't get it. Being a rabid fan that loves your team and loves seeing them win has f***ing NOTHING to do with taking enjoyment out of the injury or the "hoping for injury" of others.

 

So I hope YOUR day gets better for you.

[NorthSideSox72]

Vikings owner now says he wants a new OUTDOOR stadium for the team.

I didn't mean to post it directly at you, you just happened to post the picture. I've seen numerous threads on bears.scout.com, chicagobears.com, etc...of people saying how they celebrated Favre's injury, and that him being injured was the play of the game, etc...and how they were hoping he'd get taken out, broken in half, or otherwise.

 

I didn't mean to single you out in my example of what I hate about some sports fans...seeing as I directly replied to your post, I see why you think that, so I apologize.

Then reply to those threads. No one is relishing in old man Favre going down over here.

 

Believe it or not, NFL defenses are designed to get to the QB and to take him down, and when he goes out, that's a win for the defense. There is nothing sad about it... that's f***ing football.

[Steve9347]

I will say, call it posturing, call it hokey, call it what you want, but Favre taking the field yesterday was pretty badass if you ask me. He may kind of be a turd with all of his drama, but the dude just loves playing football and I'm not going to hate on him for that. I especially enjoyed his pregame speech in the huddle.

 

I'd definitively say we've seen the last of Brett Favre vs. the Bears, but who really knows. I have a hard time seeing him come back after this season.

This I have no problem with.

 

It's a fine line I'm walking here among the rabid NFL fans, but let me explain my stance, because most of you seemed to have missed my point entirely. I have no issue with a person getting injured in football, that's the name of the game...what I do have a problem with, and I dealt with it yesterday, and today, is people actively hoping that not only do the Bears get to Favre, but they injure him in a possible life altering way...and because it's football, it's ok to hope for that.

 

Call me whatever you want, I just don't get that mentality, nor do I like it. Not in the NFL, and not in any other sports.

 

Another example, AJ ramming Barrett and scoring a run, this is part of the game, and it was a great play. But wishing AJ had physically hurt Barrett during that play, not the same...at least to me.

Well, yeah, but that wasn't happening over here and you started calling a knowledgeable poster "stupid" and "useless pieces of inhuman sh*t" for absolutely no reason. Take it up with the jokers on those boards you cited.

My posts weren't necessarily targeting anyone in specific, I was merely stating my opinion on what I've seen from many Bears fans, not only over the years, but yesterday, too. I replied to the person who thought I targeted them and apologized because it wasn't mean to be that, however...

 

Then I responded to one person here, in specific, after this, so yes, someone here did just that.

how is breaking him in half a life-altering injury? They could have stitched him back together.

That was also after the injury, again.

 

The guy's a drama queen doucher who wants nothing more than the spotlight on himself. Sure, he loves to play football, but people say it like it's a burden on the rest of the NFL players. They're unwillingly getting paid millions to play football. Give me a f***ing break.

 

Brett Favre is the unhuman piece of s*** for bringing all this attention on himself. I hope he plays another 10 years so I can watch him get pummeled every weekend and watch his once-great legacy get completely tarnished.

 

He's not a "warrior" for coming back and playing through an injury. He's an idiot. And a selfish one at that. That team is going NOWHERE and having him on the field DID NOT help the team.

Um, did you miss the first drive of the game?
