Along the lines of Goatse, tubgirl, and Ubersite, Pro Football Talk.com is one of the worst websites I've had the misfortune of stumbling across. They offer very little actual info on anything that can't be found on the front pages of ESPN.com or Yahoo Sports, yet for some reason people tend to take their asinine ramblings seriously. The fact that they're starting to be known as an inside source of NFL news is the most ridiculous thing this side of Steve Gutenberg being a popular actor in the '80s, and they're no more a source of inside information than Dionne Warwick is a psychic.
Simply put, Pro Football Talk is a fraud. A sham. Second cousin to the rabbit who wouldn't accept that Trix were for kids. They're the same site that had "inside info that Mike Sherman was to be the next coach of the Arizona Cardinals and Pete Carroll had signed with the San Diego Chargers. Now they're saying Eric Steinbach and Adalius Thomas "have deals in hand" with other teams.
Right.
PFT's entire philosophy is based on the idea that if you throw enough crap against the wall something will eventually stick. Then they can point to it and say, "See? We right all along" like a proud parent showing a golfing buddy his kid's report card. Please. Look around everyone, festering piles of cow dung are rising up on all sides of you and are a threat to the cleanliness of your shoes.
As if that's not enough, they are arrogant as Justin Timberlake, only with less of a reason. At least he nailed "hot" Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansen and Jessica Biehl, has had two hit records, and made a song called "Dick in a Box." Bully for him. But what has Pro Football Talk ever accomplished to justify their attitude? Nada, that's what! But don't tell them that ... oh no, they're the most important news source on the entire Internet. Just ask them, they will not hesitate to confirm this statement.
Here's a funny story, and by "funny," of course I mean nauseating. Last week PFT reported that TJ Houshmandzadeh had signed a new agent and was looking to leave Cincy. TJ denied the report and said he changed agents because his previous one is suspended. PFT came right back with this little blurb:
Quote:
In direct response to our report that he wants to get out of Cincinnati, Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh denies that his decision to fire agent David Dunn and hire Kennard McGuire was driven by a desire to change teams.
"No one talked to me about it. I don't know where it came from," Houshmandzadeh said. "They just want to say because I fired David Dunn there must be a reason. But I felt like I needed someone who is out there and working for me because you don't know what is going to happen in two years."
Our response to T.J.'s response? Baloney. It's not as if Dunn was just fired last week; he agreed to an 18-month suspension before the start of the 2006 season. This isn't about Dunn.
So we stand by our report. And we thank Housh for not calling us a bunch of punk-ass white boys.
Wow. Now that's what I expect from a legit news source. I kept waiting for them to use the phrase "fraid not," and refer to Houshmandzadeh as a "Liar, liar, pants-on-fire," but sadly they never did. I wouldn't have expected anything less from these "hard-hitting journalists."

I might be in the minority, but I like both football and soccer. I'm more passionate about football, but soccer is fun to watch and play. I plan on going to see the Galaxy play the C'Bus Crew this season so I can watch a real soccer player teach the American wannabes who populate the league how to play the game the right way.
Speaking of which, what's the over/under on midfield goals by Beckham this season? 3? 4? 10?

I love these sissys that get all up in arms about soccer. It sucks. Nothing happens. Just accept that it is a second class citizen to Real Football. And like I said Hurt has problems interacting with others. Seek assistance Scone boy.

The only source that would be used in this is Pro Football talk itself.

The only "WAC Footall" that isn't a load of hogwash is played by Boise State, Fresno State, and Hawaii.
Colt Brennan is the truth.

Nah. Parts of it were formatted incorrectly, and as a whole it needed a little bit of polish. All in all, I'm retarded.
