Minimum posts before one can FPP... please!: T.O.'s not the bad guy the eagles are :why does everyone hate T.O. so much the eagles are the babys here. If t.O. would just get a new agent everything would be fine. But the eagles are a bunch of girls. Donavan needs to stop trying to get everyones sympathy and play football. Everytime something happens he cries for the race card. He needs to suck it up and play the game. Cause whether he realizes it or not he revolves around the game and not the other way around. Pease out sports fans!

The thread just got worse. There's a good 3 or 4 of them that should be shown the door.

It's St. Patrick's Day. Our Beloved Moderators are probably (understandably) away. Time for St. Patrick to drive the shitdicks out of that thread.

You are probably right yerfatma. So let's all step away from the puter and grab a beer. CHEERS!

The "legit" responses to the thread are funnier than the thread itself. I for one am glad the thread is still up. Time for me to leave work soon everyone enjoy their cornbeef, cabbage and green beer. Bottoms up!

Is it wrong that my ethnicity is 100% Irish and yet I bought a case of German beer and a case of Jamaican beer today? And I only wore green by mistake? I have to stay inside on 3/17 to keep that murder rap away.

Is it true that no self-respecting Irishman will drink a Black & Tan?

yerfatma, I could tell you were Irish, because I recognized the accent when I said your name... Happy "I Drove The Snakes Out Of Ireland Beeeyatch!!!" Day.

I am yet to see a good thread posted by someone who hasn't even made a comment. And for those of us who will be drinking sparkling wine today, Happy St.Patrick's Day...

Speaking only for myself as a "self respecting Irishman" I can tell you that as long as the Black and Tan is free, it's damn well good enough to drink. A Happy St. Patty's day to all! May all yer posts be met with cyber nods of agreement!

And for my 2 cents worth, yerfatma, see my last post

I can tell you that as long as the Black and Tan is free Agreed. My drinking philosophy was crystalized in words by the immortal Rod Farva: "Fuck it, whatever's free."

I'm sorry about that thread staying online for so long. I was at the beach. Today was a bad day for newbies on the front page. Buck Martinez -- is he Mexican?. Sheesh.

Rcade I think you should have a FPP tutorial that has to be passed before someone can join the site. Those FPP's make me sick.

I friggin' missed another racist post? This is bullshit and I blame this on yerfatma and his Irish sounding name! Everybody starts talking about beer, so I say "Hey I'll pull my next door out of the ditch, she'll give me some of her German beer and I can get fucked up!" and then I say
"Bitte ein Bit?" and she says "sure, dude" and I say "danke" and she says "what did you call me?" But at least I got some German beer, so Happy St. Patrick's Day!

No need to apologize rcade. I understand that you have a life outside of spofi. Thanks for giving me a place to converse about sports. Where I just moved to, all they care about is college basketball. I can deal with bad FPP's as long as I can talk hockey and participate in fantasy sports. Hey wingnut, sorry about earlier. See my rant here.

sk8r, I'm sorry about my jackass comments, too. And about he-who-shall-not-be-named, I think he came back from his injury so quickly to rub it in everybody's face, not for the love of the game.

Yeah, rcade, no need to apologize. It's not like we're going to . . . sue you or anything.

Paging JJ! Is JJ in the house? 08:24 - March 18 - Belfast I am in no position to speak for self-respecting Irishmen. I passed the whole day without a) wearing green, b) drinking ANYTHING or c) realising it was St Patrick's day. This is telling as I also spent a large chunk of yesterday travelling back to Belfast - and even when I got here, I still didn't realise. In fact, the only thing time it crossed my mind was yesterday afternoon when I failed to back the winner in the Gold Cup (I picked the winner, and tipped him to a friend, but didn't trust myself, so I didn't back anyone, then the bugger romped home at 15-2 and my mate won 180 quid). I remember distinctly thinking "The Gold Cup is usually around St Patrick's day... what's the date? Who cares?" I still find it ironic to honour an abstemious saint (who arrived in Ireland and discovered there was no word for 'sobriety' in the native tongue) by going out and getting shitfaced. And he totally got way too much publicity on the whole banishing-the-snakes-from-Ireland thing. There have never been any snakes in Ireland! Why, only this morning I have banished the hummingbird from Ireland, but have they made me a saint? Have they bollocks.

rcade, don't apologize. What you need to realize is there is real iliftw8z and king alfred and there is virtual iliftw8z and king alfred... Real iliftw8z and king alfred are not responsible for the dipshittery and mayhem that virtual iliftw8z and king alfred cause.
