Garbage.

I'm sorry, but you have to have some fun in life. Why be a boring grump your whole life?

we are a young team, who's only getting used to winning. The peyton comparison is laughable, totally different circumstances

Did you actually read the article? Pure satire.

Lost me when he said Ali won with class... There has never been a bigger trash talker in the history of sport.

Open palm. Apply to face.

satire

Apparently the satire was lost on me.

That was an amazing piece of writing. Word of advice, you have to at least read to halfway before giving up on it lol

edit* Nevermind people already ruined it. It definitely took me longer than it should have for me to figure it out. Once I got to mention of Ali I knew it was satire.

I appreciate people posting things that are important to them...

BUT

I skimmed it, and stoped when it said Jordan and Ali were gracious and won with class.

Excuse me?

Interestingly enough, there is a Jordan and Ali clip.

Lol...some of you don't understand satire at all. That was funny as hell

The article was a joke...

Jesus do people even read anymore? The article was pure satire, and if you do actually read, not skim, the piece you'll appreciate it. Thanks for that link EC, it was pretty good.

Pretty ham handed as far as satire goes, would have been a better article if it had just made the case in a more straight forward academic manner. (IMO just as a general rule satire should be left to quick witted comedians who have perfected timing and subtlety.) The overly self-important opening salvo was a speed bump at the start, too.

My issues with the caliber of the writing aside, he's 100% right. Can't disagree with any of the meaning behind what he said. Everything Sherman did at the end of the game is just a part of what makes him great, and it's time people accept it.

I will admit, it took me a little while to detect the satire, mainly because fieldgulls past history has been conflicted and agenda driven to say the least. I've seen articles that were stone cold serious that said things more ridiculous than this and this was over the top satire, so there was a bit of a "boy who cried wolf" hesitation here as I read on and tried to gauge the intention.

Ok, so I screwed up. I have been reading stuff like that all day and didn't even realize what it was. My bad.

I just figured some grumpy person who can't have fun in life.

Guess I should have actually read it....LOL

Ah, this is hilarious. How many people stopped reading because they were fuming? The end is where it really made me laugh out loud. Kaepernick is the real hero? Hahahahaha! The Seahawks are an insult to "fans like me who casually watch them once or twice a year"? Priceless stuff!

As soon as he talked about Cassius Clay, I knew it was satire.

Thanks for the link!

Yep. I heavily suspected satire before that, but as soon as I read the Cassius Clay bit I laughed hard, any doubt that it wasn't satire blown to bits.
