Re: ESPN Is Dumb
I have zero use for ESPN, without Chris Berman.
All I ever see there is social justice crap. |

Re: ESPN Is Dumb
Chad Johnson had knee injuries, Andre Johnson was about 31 before he slowed down, not 28. Calvin had some kind of injury that wouldn't go away, and apparently was sick of the Lions, so he just walked away. Jerry Rice and Tim Brown were productive into their late thirties, and even early 40's for Jerry. Steve Smith played forever, and as much as I didn't care for his attitude, he stayed quite productive. Randy Moss was dominant (whenever he wanted to be) for about 11 years. If receivers stay healthy, they don't get "old" at 28. RB's do. Now, everyone slows down around 30, but when you're talking about the elite receivers, they don't usually fall off a cliff at that age. Julio isn't showing any signs of slowing down, so to say he's going to suddenly get old this year is rather nonsensical, in my opinion.

He won't be WR1 next year I know that much.

Yes, one day that will happen to him, but he has been extremely productive and not shown any signs of obvious physical breakdown. So, with that in mind, I don't expect to see anything different from him this year. A couple of years from now, maybe.
In other words, there won't be nearly enough of a difference (barring injury) for his age to be a worthy discussion in how the Falcons season will play out. Is he going to go from 1400 yards last year (in 14 games) to 900 yards this year? I just don't think it's relevant to talk about his age until his play diminishes. |

Re: ESPN Is Dumb
I'm sick of ESPN and their political agendas. Who the **** wants to watch some gawdy black girl with nine inch nails try to act knowledgeable about football? Not me. The anal cysts(analysts) on ESPN don't have any type of spark of life.
Who the **** wants to watch a panel of two women (one is always black) and two boring men who may not have ever played football ether but act like they know everything? I eventually get to watch about three informative minutes after fast forwarding through all the fluff material waiting on real football talk. I don't want to hear about Kaepernick........I hate that I even know how to spell his name. Aaarrrrggghhhh............. |
