millions?????

He has to win this year with his stud QB & RB, he may never get this good of a team again.

Packers you just can't help running your mouth.

Every fu**ing thread, no matter the topic, you talk shi*. 

Keep it up and you'll be leaving this site and I will be the one to make you leave. All it takes is a few capped games in a cap-off and you're gone forever.

Had to get that shut-out...just had too!

The "good guy" Franklin who comes in after the Paterno scandal sullied his rep a bit here...



Classic overreaction - Franklin explained why he did it...and it makes total sense.

But even if he did it to be an a-hole, he will NEVER beat Jim Harbaugh....who when asked why he went for a 2 point conversion against USC at the Coliseum when Stanford was up by a ton, said...
"Because I couldn't go for 3".  My hero.

Is that a threat or a promise?

Yes so god-awful between 2006-2014 with copied and pasted stats from Hugh Jorgan who you of course kneel to in subservience. How pathetic.

Lol. If you wanted me gone than I would be.

Well I guess the solution is simple then. Agree to a cap-off for and the loser leaves Covers forever.

No strings attached. 

Just agree and we'll set the ground rules.

The offer is right here on the table.

If Georgia State was not going to treat the end of the game as garbage time and let the clock run out, why should Penn State give up? Yeah its college football, but still one way to look at it is at the end of the season, 56-0 still looks good on paper for Penn State regardless of it being Georgia State when the college playoff selection comes around.

Scalabrine, once again proving he's the dumbest guy in the room.

So let the record show I offered packers "Leave Covers Forever" cap off and he (not the least bit surprisingly) declined. 

Which proves one of two things:

1) He knows I'll beat him and he'll have to leave for good(and this is against an alleged "terrible" capper that he isn't afraid of);

2) Even the people that hate me want me here.

Why? Because I know what I'm doing and will continue to do it. 

But we'll let the yellow bellies lie in the bed they made otherwise.

Scalabrine is a lot of things, but one thing he is demonstrably not is being a man of his word. This is just more Lucy pulling the football away as Charlie Brown tries to kick a field goal. Scalabrine has a history of making these false claims. Never make this kind of bet with someone who has proven he is not a man of his word.

Oh great. Ok, we'll arrange it in the Penalty Box. And if it's just Tennis bets, uh, you'll have to come up with something better.

And Ken after I get rid of Packers, I'll have it out with you too and get you the fu** off the site. 

Then when you're never on here again and you're staring at a blank computer screen we'll see who is a man of his word.

What does "we'll set the ground rules" mean to you?

To me, that means that both of you have to agree, does it not?

So true Hawk.

The thread is in the Penalty Box. 

If you want to make all Tennis bets, you can do that.

My my, you really are an internet tough guy. You'll get rid of Packers and then "have it out" with me too ! Oh, woe is me ! Do you orgasm as you type these tough guy things ? Or, are you just frustrated because you can't climb over the status of "flip a coin" capper ? Do you even realize being a 50% "winner", which you're not, means you are a complete loser when you add in the juice ? It is too bad the bookies don't pay long-winded losers by the number of words they type. You'd be rich, but you'd still be a loser.

I see nothing wrong in either instance...a coach trying to prevent a shutout, or in the situation you are referring to, a coach trying to preserve a shutout... Its a football game, with no safe-zones, which doesn't bode well for snowflake mentalities.
