I didnt suggest that at all, but i'm discussing how they'd be respected by their fanbase

You tell me how this man would be treated in dallas.

Cruz
3626 yards, 23 tds vs

Dez since 2011
3543 yards, 34 tds (way more redzone targets)

Tell me how cruz would be treated in dallas
Dez puts up better numbers not even being the number one target on his team. Holla at me when Cruz is lining up with two corners jamming him off the line like he's a special team gunner. (without looking I can tell you cruz's numbers is in more games too cause I know Dez got hurt). Dez is gawd in the city. Cruz wouldn't even be allowed where the real fans are, low income neighborhoods. Dez comes thru in old school slabs tho :mjpls:

Philly. Fucc a Eagle. I mean dat.
Oh the Eagles forsure. You wanna talk about a wack ass franchise? Them nikkas are the wackest of the wack. Every year, no matter the previous season, they're touted as a favorite to come out the NFC and every year, low and behold they never do. fukk them nikkas and anybody that love em. :pacspit: They almost let nut ass Kyle Orton take em down the field and rip their throats out last year :mjlol:

A lot of Falcon Fans under the Mike Smith and Matt Ryan Era. Go to the Falcons official message board and you would swear you are talking to fans of a team who have won 20 ships.
Them nut ass nikkas too.

Honestly it's the coattail riders in the SEC especially the past 10 years. Ole Piss fans and Vandy fans dikkriding Nick Saban talking about SEC SEC SEC SEC when they fukking teams were going 3-9. shyt like that made me stop posting on the rivals type forums.
even tho I know the "u" contingent will flip it, you could say Miami. Built their rep up during the 80s, flatlined in the 90s (even with that one title in 91), had a 2-3 yr span where they mattered in the early part of the century and have flatlined since...ran roughshod over a flabby ass Big East where BC was their biggest rival :pachaha: and yelled from the high heavens how they would dominate the ACC, yet, been in the conference for a decade and don't have ONE conference title game appearance to speak of....but they love bringing up that 5>3>3 shyt yet when I play that game of since 1990 3>2, it gets completely ignored....all in all, I'm voting SEC just based off the fact the one time Muschamp beat us at Doak, instead of doing the Gator chomp, these fukks were in the stands yelling SEC-SEC!!! even @malbaker86 got heated about it....have some gotdamn pride in your school...YOU'RE FLORIDA!! you shouldn't have to stoop so low

Winning 5 titles in the span of 20 years in modern College Football isn't a great run? Having a player be selected in the 1st round of the NFL draft for 14 years isn't great? Or how about having 6 players drafted in a single first round? 2001 team had 42 players eventually drafted and 17 first round picks. Oh, and a Hurricane has made the NFL pro bowl for 29 years in a row.

The Noles are fighting with the Gators for second place. Don't throw dirt on the GOATs.

This is kind of hard if you're basing your opinion off of recent or historical sucess. There are plenty of proud team and fans that have caught the beats recently

Recent(8-10years)
Notre Dame - They've been good once or twice since I've started watching CFB. Fans act like they're still old ND. CFB has changed.
Michigan - Outside of one year they've been garbage since 2008. RichRod drove the program into the ground. Hoke isn't innovative enough to change it.
Miami - Again, just haven't been as good recently mostly because of the escalation of money in CFB and schools recruiting SFla harder than ever.
USC - A few decent seasons but the NCAA gave them the beats. Havent seen many USC fans since.
Oregon - Why they are tabbed as NC contenders every year is puzzling


Gizzle brought up Minnesota in his SEC rant but that's pretty misleading as 6 of their 7 NCs were before World War II. Not only that but I'd bet they're record in under .500 since 1970.

Yeah, the fans of other SEC teams talk junk but Arkansas is historically pretty good as is Ole Miss surprisingly. Hell, Ole Miss is 23-12 in bowl games. Hard to believe but true.

Eagles atleast have recent playoff success spanning the past ten years. Lost the Super Bowl but atleast been there and numerous NFC championships and been running the division for the most part since Reid era began and that was 99.

Cowboys should be on the list. Every year they talk big shyt and live off the mid 90s. They have literally done nothing. There are more sentences in this paragraph than cowboy playoff wins in the past 18 years.

Yet the Cowboys have won a playoff game more recently than the Eagles. How that sound

Frank Thomas has a damn world series ring and 2 MVPs (1 unanimous :wow:)

edit that post and take the Chi Sox out of it while you're at it. Id rather have 1 title to show for the past 20 years than a bunch of choke jobs like the Tigers

:myman: dap + rep

People also forget that he came in second to Giambi in the MVP voting(in 97) when Gianni was on roids. So he should of have another. How the fukk are you gonna come at Frank like he never won anything:dwillhuh::ufdup::ufdup:
