Bleacher Report is a great website to write about your opinons or discuss your point of view on hot topics.
However, many times you may express your point of view but expect to be completly disagreed with, and most times insulted. Even if you write an article that makes a lot of good points filled with facts and good observations.
So, I have compiled seven topics that I feel you should never mention because it will get you riduculed like the little moron you are truly are.
*Disclaimer: Much of the slide show is meant to be sarcastic, so keep everything in context. The purpose of this article is to poke fun at some overzealous fans.
Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment.
Urban Meyer Is Not Perfect
Don't you dare say one bad word about Coach Meyer, everyone knows he can do no wrong.
He wins SEC Championships, National Championships, and brings in top recruiting classes all while displaying God-like behaviour.
Sarcasm aside, he challenged then five star recruit Patrick Johnson's ACT score after he picked LSU over Florida in 2008.
I wonder if Meyer would've challenged the score had he picked Florida instead? I think we all know the answer to that one.
And apparently he is really into gymnastics as well.
Reportadly, Meyer was having a tough time recruiting reciever Carl Moore so he did the next best thing, recruited his girlfriend Maranda Smith instead.
Smith had competed for the UCLA gymnastic team in 2006 before quiting due to injury.
Apparently, Meyer is die hard gymnast fan and I've heard stories that he's at every match, in the front row screaming like a wild maniac in support of the team.
This is what Miss Smith had to say:
"He kept asking how Carl was doing and wanted me to come [to Gainesville] and do gymnastics, It was weird. But I really didn't know anything about college football anyway, so it was like I was talking to any other person. Then I started watching TV and I'd see him and I'd say, 'I just talked to him on the phone an hour ago.'
There is a couple of things wrong here. First, as a football coach he can't recruit for another sport and in gymnastics you can only contact a recruit once a week. Smith said Meyer called her daily.
It worked out though, Moore is a Gator.
Urban Meyer is perfect...only in Gainsville.
USC Could Win The SEC (football)
The SEC is God's gift to college football.
They produce the best teams and the best athletes. Hell, even their worst teams are still better then any other conference's best team.
They will slaughter your favorite team in the National Championship game and then throw beer on your fans, but that's not rude. . . that's called passion.
That's what SEC fans on B/R sound like and I'm guilty to some extent myself being an Alabama fan.
However, as good as the SEC is and has been, USC is a dynasty that could compete and win the SEC.
They probably wouldn't win every year but no way would they get walked all over by LSU, Florida, Georgia, or Alabama.
Pete Caroll has brought in more top athletes than anyone else since he's taken over at USC. USC is the NFL factory that Miami and Florida State use to be.
USC has a 82-9 record since 2002, you don't get that kind of record without being a great team.
I'd be willing to bet that if there was a College Football playoff USC would have more than two National Championships.
LeBron James is better than Kobe Bryant
The title of this slide could easily be flipped around.
Lebron fans would defend him even if he did something as ridiculous as accept an 80,000 dollar Hummer in high school. Ohio High School Athletic Association says no player shall accept a gift over 100 dollars for athletic performance.
Let's not be too harsh, he only went over the limit by 79,900 dollars.
Kobe fans will insist he is perfect despite being accused of rape (I doubt he did it though) and cheating on his wife. Lets all be honest too, he use to be a ball hog.
Kobe fans will argue that he has three rings to LeBron's zero. Then LeBron fans will say, "yeah but he had Shaq."
My humble opinion is that they are both great players. Kobe has a more complete game, but LeBron may be the most naturally talented player I've ever seen.
McNabb And The Eagles Are Not Perfect
Donavan McNabb has absolutly nothing to do with the fact that the Eagles haven't won a Super Bowl. It's everyone elses fault.
Also, did you know that the addition of three rookies will propell the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory this year? ROOKIES!
Those are the feelings I get when I read comments by Eagles fans on this site. Part of me is appauld and flabbergasted but another part of me thinks, they just must be extremely passionate.
I recently read an article about NFL power rankings and the Eagles were ranked something like 10th. Oh, you should've heard the uproar. The Eagles being the 10th best team in the NFL is like saying Lebron is the 10th best player on his own team.
Most of them felt they should've been in the top five, even as high as number two. However, there is the NFC Champs sitting at 12th or so and nobody cares that they are ranked lower than the Eagles.
Hey, I think the Eagles are good too, but I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't even make the playoffs, only because of the division they play in.
Brett Favre Isn't God
Did you know that Brett Favre parted the Red Sea and then became the most prolific passer in NFL History? This guy can do no wrong.
I've been with B/R for a little less than a year and I've realized that if you want to get a lot of comments on an article you write, then write about Brett Favre.
Why so many comments?
Because everybody loves this guy, he has got to have the most loyal fan base of any athlete I've ever seen.
As soon as all the Favre to Minnesota talk started there was FOUR articles on the front page at the same time about him.
I recently read an article that listed 10 reasons why a football fan hates Brett Favre. The author probably got more insults hurled at him than A-Rod got for using steroids. I think he's in the witness protection program now.
If you're new to B/R remember the these three things...Don't plagiarize, don't use profanity, and don't you dare write anything bad about Brett Favre.
Tim Tebow Wont Do Well In The NFL
If he's a Fullback he will be the next Bronco Nagurski.
If he's a Tight End he will be the next Shannon Sharpe.
If he's a Quarterback he wil be the next Joe Montana.
Who cares if his throwing motion is long and odd? Who cares that his running style is physical? Ray Lewis is no match for him. Who cares if he has never taken a snap under center?
Don't you know that his heart and will to succeed is unmatched by any other athlete in the history of sports?
Look as an Alabama fan I hate the Gators but I find it hard not to like Tebow. He's a great college player, and seems like an oustanding person. However, Florida fans will swear that this guy can't fail. The possibilty of him not making it in the NFL is beyond comprehension.
I've learned not to argue with Gator fans anymore, only time will tell who's right.
But don't bet against a guy whose tears cure cancer...too bad he's never cried.
Peyton Manning Is Better Than Tom Brady
Peyton Manning is lucky to be mentioned in the same breath as Tom Brady. Even though Manning has a Super Bowl ring, he is still a choker in the playoffs. Also, did you know that he is only good because of his recievers?
This is probably the most talked about topic on B/R and it's never going to end.
They are both first ballot Hall of Fame players who deserve everything they get.
My opinion is that Manning is physically more talented, but because Brady has played big in big games he is regarded as better. Which I think is fair.
I would just love to hear what Brady fans would say if they end their careers with the same number of Super Bowl wins.
What is the duplicate article?
Why is this article offensive?
Where is this article plagiarized from?
Why is this article poorly edited?
