And on le'veon bell, do you really blame the guy? He's looking to get paid in a position that has a short shelf life. It was extreme, but really? You franchise tag the guy and use him for the work horse that he is. More mileage on the body..he almost always has the most carries in the league. Good for him on taking a stand...more power to players controlling their destiny

I don't blame Bell for anything, same way I don't blame the Steelers for not betting on a guy who has been suspended TWICE and is also injury prone. The franchise tag is essentially about buying time till you can settle on a deal.

Of all skill positions you must know that the Running Back is the easiest to replace that is why James Conner came in and easily matched his numbers. That's why CJ Anderson came off the street to match Todd Gurley's production. Successful teams never overpay the Running Back

lolz@ Eli Manning.. and am hearing rumors of an obj trade rumors. New York franchises look poorly run...the Knicks(rotfl), new York jets( hopefully, Sam darnold turns out to be something) Yankees are ok Sha( not going for byrce Harper or Manny Machado looks somehow, u can never have too many outfielders and those are transcendent players, but...they compete every year). Am off topic here. Did you know Hines was very critical of ben and even mike Tomlin?

Hines didn't say what everyone else hasn't said which is Big Ben shouldn't have criticized Antonio Brown on live radio but I heard those comments he made. Those comments are not justifiable reason for his subsequent actions. Skipping meetings, skipping on the team and having your agent call Mike Tomlin on game day?

Biko let that TO 2.0 leave the Steelers and go with his baggage. Of all the actors in this film only he and Bell are the ones without Superbowls

Btw did you hear what LeBron said about his Lakers teammates? Yet LeBron stans are defending him. He questioned his fellow professionals dedication to the game of basketball. That is far worse than anything Big Ben did.

MORATAAAAAAA.

Oops wrong thread

One of the reasons, Dayo doesn't like Aguero. He destroyed his Boathand, to score this goal that Ibime watched live.

And they still finished second in the group.

Remember this?

Tundesam923:
. I think we have all established the fact that ab is sick in the head right? Right! What am saying is that big Ben contributes to the dysfunction in that locker room. Like a whole lot. The open criticism of drafting Mason Rudolph comes to mind and a lot of things that we have been hearing. The Messiah complex is at work in him.. that ain't no leader to me. And u(franchise) putting all your chips on a soon to be 37 year old qb is unwise...

But others have played with Big Ben without complaint. Hines Ward, Jerome Bettis, Santonio Holmes, Heath Miller. Why is it only Antonio Brown that is having issues? There was no dysfunction till guys like Bell and AB became stars in the team.

If someone was coming to a team to take your job I doubt you would be smiling about it. Even Brady was not smiling when Belichick was grooming Garoppolo to replace him. That was quickly resolved because Brady had direct line to Robert Kraft

American football might be a team sport but the Quarterback is the most important position. I daresay you would need a Messiah complex to succeed at what you do whether humble or overstated. Like I said earlier no team would side with a diva receiver over a QB that has brought 2 Superbowls. Even the Giants are still loyal to Eli Manning who has been useless for 4 seasons never mind a Big Ben who is still producing

I saw the tweets and I was amazed. Like I was underestimating the number of unintelligent people we have in this country. I won't be surprised if those fools don't stay in Lagos, or have never stepped into Lagos before. Now some idiots from SW have joined them in singing their own war song

Ahh forget it! a large number of these guys stay in Lagos and most are educated. It's outrage p0rrn.

We have some South West people too who are clout chasers, ambulance lawyers who try to overcompensate by appearing to side with the supposed victim. It's all eye service

Emaprince:
OAP tools?

Instead of focusing on the political nature of the disruptions we had quite a lot of Igbo people and outrage merchants turning it into Yorubas attacking Igbos narrative. It's pathetic

eph12:
While the north is having it peaceful, the south can't behave themselves smh

You need to see tools on Twitter turning it into an Igbo vs Yoruba thing. I always like the elections period cos na that time tribalism dey show.

Tundesam923:
. Hmmmmm. All true!!!. I think the criticism was about running routes. I know they run some defined plays, but you can't adjust plays/routes on the fly as regard to what the defense is showing you?

First and foremost what did Big Ben criticize? A play! Not his work ethic, not his professionalism when he was having issues with the team, and as far as I know it's the first time he ever said something publicly. There is nothing Big Ben has said that justifies this rubbish behavior from Antonio Brown. It's one thing to want to leave it's another thing to do everything in your power to try and drag down your trade value to a team that chose you over guys like Sanders and Mike Wallace and paid him twice!!

Yes teams having the Azmouns of this world.

No. Teams having the Agüero's and Messi's

I hope the Pelicans don't do stupid sh!t like playing the already compromised Anthony Davis when they face the Lakers again this week. Allow Julius Randle and Jahlil Okafor to keep eating their bigs like nkwobi

CuteRedd:
lonzo ke what won't I see on this thread!

Magic really traded DeAngelo Russell for Lonzo. That thing is still blowing my mind

Tundesam923:
. Of course! I get all this...Antonio brown takes the word "childish" to a whole new level. But strictly football, when last would you say big Ben was elite...is he even an elite qb? I know the passing yards are fancy. The guy did throw 5 thousand plus yards, but is he top 5?(mahomes, Tom Brady, Andrew luck, Drew Brees,,Matt Ryan) Have just been wondering about that. And the leadership skills leaves a lot of questions. Kevin Colbert coming out to say a bunch of grown ass men are "kids" under him is just wack

While I understand people react differently to criticism Ben's criticism of Brown at the time was purely football related and about the said game. It was really nothing personal and mere looking at Brown's numbers it's hard to disagree

Whether Brown likes it or not Big Ben played a major role in helping him become the best receiver in the league. He has thrown 74 TD passes to him and Brown is yet to score a TD from any QB not named Big Ben

Ben's leadership skills are dodgy but I don't know how feasible and realistic it is to expect a franchise to go against a QB that has given you two SB's and 15 years of service. Is Big Ben elite? Bar Brady, Rodgers, Brees maybe Ryan you can't tell me there are any other QBs that have been better over the past 5 seasons. And only Brady has more regular season wins

If you ask me Antonio Brown is jealous of the emergence of JuJu Smith Schuster and it's sad because contrary to what he might think they actually complement each other and if you ask me, they are not direct competitors because their style of play is quite different.

In his less narcissistic moments he should ask himself why the emergence of JuJu Smith led to his career high in TD receptions. Truth be told I always suspected Antonio Brown is more of an individual than a team guy but someone needs to tell him American football is the quintessential team sport.

There's a reason Tom Brady won nothing with Randy Moss and Wes Welker but won multiple Superbowls with Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola

Shei you're alright?


Oya hit me...

Muehehehehehehe

These Lakers are a weird bunch. The games you earmarked they would lose they win, the one you earmarked they would win they lose. I dare say the Pelicans would have been in the playoffs race had they traded Davis

First Clean sheet in the league in 2019 thanks to a certain player's return in defense. If I say Bo, you say A another man say Teng omo na you sabi

This Schalke I'm seeing might end up in relegation playoffs. Shocking team

Tundesam923:
And on this Antonio brown issue, big Ben has no blame? At all? Going on the radio and critizing AB on the radio. I think ab has a point on big Ben having an "ownership mentality"

Abeg forget Antonio Brown. The guy is a narcissist! I won't absolve Ben but the criticism is still strictly football based.

This guy has attacked journalists, thrown tantrums during games. Skipped team meetings early in the season (Week 3), quit on his team and showed up in week 17 in a mink coat. Jealous JuJu Smith Schuster won team MVP

The Steelers will never win a Superbowl if they don't release this cancer. He is purely about his stats and is not a team player. His recent social media antics prove that

'Mr Big Chest'

"A complete bozo" like Tony Kornheiser would say

Kanter looking like a fantastic pickup for the Blazers

NinjaMetahuman:
really annoying.
not surprised though. Most vocal critics of buhari have been yorubas But I expect majority of yoruba voters to have get sense by now.

Igbos actually

Lol Ibime see your boys ooh. This one na some Narcos P.

If Dortmund are not ready to win the league we might as well collect it back. The first half was borderline unwatchable though. This Kovac guy I don't know mehn

Coman injured again

See polling booth and how everybody comport. Lol please money is importantest

Greatihex:
lol no. Love has nothing to do with money. Like i said, money is very important, but life does not start and end in money. It is not the most important thing in life. Maybe it is for you, but it is not for me.

Lool you can be Mr World oh you can be Mr Africa you can be Mr Nigeria ooh without money nothing can be done

Ibime:
People don't like being made to look stupid, hence all those liberals who went gung-ho in support of him would rather not mention.it,.cos it's a reminder of how gullible they are.

It's this culture of outrage p0rrn that's to blame. Though I wish their PD were this decisive in dealing with actual crimes by their officers

Ibime:
The Koko is who will give him work going forward. Those gay Nollywood producers will never give him work again. The black community meanwhile already threw him under the bus.

I don't know if he is a.bad actor though. Everybody on that show look like bad actors due.to the poor scripts. Had to stop watching after season 1 cos the storylines just got more.ridiculous.each week. Even my man Terrence Howard looks like a fool on there.

You make a good point.

Ibime:
Trust me he's ruined. Nothing they hate more than one of their own making them look bad

A lot of people are still trying to rationalize his actions, the condemnations from liberals have been mostly muted and in fact attention is already being diverted to another dude who is apparently stockpiling ammo to kill journalists and other targets.

What's annoying to me is the fact that he's a blehh to terrible actor that was making awoof $1m per season on a series I'm surprised is still on. Dude's luck was at the edge of a cliff and he chose to push it

Khanben:
Defenders today actually have to guard people without touching them, imagine Kwahi, PG13, butler and co with the ability to touch up their opponents.
As for fundamentals, IMO they are taught and learned unlike natural talent. Players have better chance of getting access to the right coaches these days than say 20-40 years ago, so i stand by the fact that players in all sports might not be more talented than those of time past, but in terms of their fundamentals they are definitely better.
As for ball handlers you said modeled but forgot to add improved upon. The likes of kyrie, steph. Jamal Crawford have all improved on the works of previous masters

In the regular season yes, not in the post season where refs swallow their whistles. There is very little that tops sound fundamentals and no PG13, Kawhi were not as good as Payton or Moncrief

There are people that assimilate these fundamentals better than the others. Have you ever asked yourself why the most naturally gifted aren't always the best at their positions. More emphasis was made back then on fundamentals unlike now where the focus is on athleticism. That explains why a guy like Nikola Jokic was drafted in the second round

What are you even talking about? This is like saying developers today aided by IDEs are better than developers of yore that had to type and memorize codes and syntaxes. Hell to the no!

You will soon tell us that Major Lazer are more fundamentally sound than Quincy Jones, Primo or Teddy Riley because they work with more modern equipment.

Their handles are simply fancier and are more aesthetically appealing and if we're ranking all-time passers and players who turned it over the least in the league they won't make the list so who their handles epp?
