Probably my favorite tar heel.

No one entertained me quite like him in person. Not gio bernard, trubisky, ebron, no one. Man that kid was crazy. I know he's a small athlete but I can't believe dallas got rid of him. I guess he's with the steelers now.

Man, not to use donny's favorite word but the amount of fake news in this country is nuts.

Have y'all seen all the reports about Nike's stock plummeting due to signing a deal with kap? Oh man.. I just now re-googled it. Now everyone is putting out new articles saying in dropped "slightly". Typical. One was just posted 5 minutes ago. So when I saw these stories from msnbc, cnbc, washington post, and a few others I decided to google Nike's stock. They had dropped a little more than 2%. Then I check addidas. Dropped more than nike. Then I check puma, they dropped about the same as nike barely less. It turns out EVERY single athletic shoe company all dropped simultaneously.

Kaperdick... Anything to stay relevant.

If you can't throw for touchdowns, GTFO, it's the fucking NFL, shit's competitive. Who cares about his political views or his social views or whatever. He (and any other player) can do that shit in his spare time.

Most of all, who gives a fuck what ANY football player thinks about jack shit!?! The idea that football players and pro athletes are "role models" is a fuckin' myth that was NEVER true. Babe Ruth was a shithead. Ty Cobb hated the blacks. Roger Maris was a nazi (probably not, but who gives a shit about facts anymore) Walter Payton was a great dude, yeah. Several others are, sure. But there's sites on the internet, something like "NFLblotter" or whatever that list all of the players each year who get into any kind of trouble with the law. The list gets longer every year. These people are no one in particular to look up to. They should be viewed as... entertainers, basically. They can do superhuman shit on a football field and are talented at sports, but they aren't the best and brightest among us, FAR from it.

Stand, take a knee, pull out your dick in protest, I don't give a fuck. Just PLAY THE FUCKING GAME WELL. THAT... is what matters to people most of all. And if it doesn't, then it fucking SHOULD.

It is amazing that kapernick can sue the NFL because he was not picked up by a team and paid millions of dollars.
Maybe the teams felt that he was no better than the people they already have.
Maybe he was slightly better, but the teams did not want to deal with the issues that he may bring.

You can't demand that you get hired or you will sue if you don't. Just because he previously played in the NFL does not guarantee him a spot.

IMO this is no different from someone a accounting degree and experience with another company going for a interview with a new company and saying hire me now or I will take you to court.

The company decides who they want to hire and so do the teams of the NFL.

UNC is favored -16.5 against ECU @ east Carolina. Take ecu to cover the spread.

Make the bet above. Bet everything.

Not trying to shit talk your team, but... nah. I've seen you too many times spitting and stomping on your hat because the Heels didn't play up to your expectations, lol.

I don't even bet on sports anymore. Hopefully all my talk about sportsbooks in the past didn't get YOU into it. I managed to win more than I ever lost before I called it quits, but a couple of times I did some REALLY STUPID shit. One time I bet a downright insane and irresponsible amount on a Ronda Rousey fight. At the time, we all thought she was invincible because she made Jessica Eye tap out in less than 30 seconds, and then she TKO'd Bethe Correia with a flurry of sloppy slobberknockers. Had I lost that bet, I would've lost my house, my bike, my trucks, EVERYTHING.

Just beware. That shit can get away from you quick.

Was flipping through the guide on the satellite and saw that Georgia State was playing NC State, so I gave it a quick look just out of curiosity. HOLY MOLY. The Georgia State players are damn near every single one of them HALF the size of whoever they are covering. It looks like NC State vs a high school team.

I think you may have misunderstood me. I'm actually shit talking on my team, lol. I said to take ECU to cover the spread. They had a freak loss to an fcs school in week 1 which created this spread. NC has all these players suspended and it's home at ECU. The bet stuck out tremendously to me to take ECU to not lose by more than 16.5 points. If anything they're gonna win, although I hope not haha.

And I agree, I turned 250 dollars into 28,000 then blew it away because I lost a 15 and 10k bet, back to back. Lol.

ECU destroyed UNC with 38.5 left in excess to cover the spread. Easiest bet ever... because they had a fluke loss to an fcs opponent in week 1 they were the "underdogs" at home. Every once in awhile a bet really sticks out to me else I wouldn't have been so adamant in my post. Literally a once in a year thing.

ECU could have scored 1 field goal, and THAT'S IT, and covered the spread. Instead they scored 41 points.

I actually didn't even watch it, lol. Man I hope the GA Tech game I'm going to will be entertaining at least.

I LOVE it when Georgia can kick the shit out of South Carolina IN Columbia. South Carolina when they play Georgia at home, the crowds always go fuckin apeshit trying to intimidate the Georgia players and fans. After halftime, they weren't saying a fucking peep anymore.

Yeah, I read the 2nd part wrong, thought you were saying to bet on UNC. Either way though, I wouldn't have felt comfortable putting money anywhere on that game. That's why I can't do it anymore, I'm rarely "sure" of anything like I used to be. The Rhonda Rousey thing kinda mindfucked me. At the time I was convinced that Rousey was unbeatable. And as soon as she fought Holly Holm... and then Amanda Nunes... it became glaringly obvious that ANY ONE of her previous opponents could've EASILY KO'd her had they been competent at boxing. And knowing now that losing that bet was entirely possible kinda makes me feel like I survived a game of russian roulette. "That gun you had... the one you thought was empty... was totally loaded, yeah."

Yeah it's just one of those few "SURE THING" bets that come around every now and then. My problem is that I do so good with betting that I get arrogant and lose everything, lmao. If I only bet on the sure things, i'd be great. But that's gambling.

I'm in NE long island right now, yankees everywhere. I have to leave work and go home... probably 3am tomorrow morning. It can always change and it's unpredictable, but the eye of this storm is going directly over my house. Ugh. I gotta go get shit in order. Counting traffic and car accidents it took me 15 hours last time.

Poor Rodgers and poor green bay. I've never been a fan but also never had distaste for the team. It was a cool opportunity to have my favorite tar heel qb go against the debatable most talented quarter back. Then Rodgers tears his acl..

It is not looking good for UF this year.
The last time Kentucky beat FLA, I was not married yet. Now my kids have kids

I am giving Mullen a pass for a couple of years, he has to get the players he wants in his system and that will take some time.
