Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Thank you, from a Falcons fan

Hey guys, Turner_The_Burner from the Falcoholic here. I'm just writing this to say to you, the Big Blue View readership, a sincere thank you for stopping by our blog this week. The Falcons have faced many opponents whilst I've been a member of the Falcoholic, and not once has there been such good discussion and contribution en masse from the 'visiting' team and their fans. Massive respect for the BBV readership, especially seeing as it's a playoff week, at the way you guys came over, answered our questions, added to the discussion and just got on great with most people on the blog. We had two great threads going on each board, with the 'Ask the _____' threads, and there was just a lot of respect on both sides I feel.

Writing to say thank you, it has made my week as a Falcoholic that much better, and I now have a newfound respect for your team, blog and readership. It's safe to say that if the Giants progress after this week I'll be firmly rooting for them now, thanks to you guys. Here's wishing an injury free game and, just because we can't be neutral 100% of the time, Go Falcons!

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Well said

I’d like to echo his sentiments. There’s been a lot of great discussion this week, and you all were very kind as I invaded the discussions on your blog.

All we ask around here is

discuss and debate with some civility. You were spot on with that.

I think people paid attention to my Football Gods fanpost...

Thanks for adding to the discussion. Its because of SB Nation and contributions by you guys that I feel fairly informed about our opponent this week.

And thank you in return.

for answering my questions in a fair and respectable manner. it is rare to read comments that are posted by the opposition that acknowledges the weaknesses and strengths in both teams. I truly learn a lot from the dialogue that you guys have had with my fellow BBVers. Good luck on sunday. GO GIANTS!!!!!!

I think I have a rooting interest in the NFC South now.

I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

I've rooted for the Falcons in that division for a while

part of it is I just don’t like the Saints but I like thier coach and QB, I like the way they run thier program, running game, D, solid QB play. They’ll be competative for a while. Lets hope tomorrow they don’t enjoy any success

Thanks Burner.

I was planning on thanking you guys after the game, win or lose, for the great week of football talk. So I’ll just do it now.

You guys are great representatives of your site and your team. #1 in my heart….I…..sob, sniff…. love you man :-)_

Thanks, Burner...

It’s been fun having many of your members coming over here, too. Much respect between BBV and The Falcoholic…for sure.

nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!

Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.

nice write up. thanks n echoed.

I must say the fact most u guys avoided the topic of " Eli is better then Ryan" ( or vis versa )was some what comical.. I’m sure some hairy arguments in the past prompted that.

Again great job by the Falcon fans.

I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.

Giant LB'zz SUCK!! Mark Herzlich, Jacquian Williams,...Maybe .. Sadly this has been modified.

When it came up I thought there was a fair balance amongst each group though

I think Eli is far better at this stage, but understandably there were some pro Ryan people as well, but again – didn’t decend into chaos and bickering which I fully expected, especially when compared to some discussions in the past with other sites.

I haven't personally seen anything wrong with BGN

but I can understand you guys not getting along. Personally my biggest beefs are usually with Saints or Packers fans, then just week to week controversy sometimes brings a few visitors. Joined the Rams site last year after they accused us of running up a score (which, if you’ve seen any of my posts ever, you’ll know I despise) because we went for a 2 point conversion to make it a 15 point game with 2 minutes to go. It’s the division rivals mainly that descend into chaos.

by Turner_The_Burner on Jan 7, 2012 11:51 AM EST up reply actions  

I was upset we faced you guys in the first round

Cuz I wanted to see Ryan and Tony G get their playoff win.

And well if they do, at least it’s to a good team I respect.

Thx

Its nice when folks don’t get classless and douchy when you each think your team is better/good. One question, how did it go with the crew at BGN when you guys played Filthadelphia earlier this season?

It’s already a wrap… might as well not show up tomorrow.

Usually don't get too much discussion with Philly in my experience

A lot of Saints, and a few week to week depending. From what I saw there was little discussion at all, but I’m assuming if there was some it wasn’t nice. We don’t get on too well what with the Mike Vick and the Dunta Robinson thing, but I actually don’t recall much discussion at all with BGN. There’s a bit in the aftermath, usually after Dunta KO’s one of their receivers and gets fined some insane amount for playing defense, but not too much pregame chat.

by Turner_The_Burner on Jan 7, 2012 11:48 AM EST up reply actions  

Screw the Falcons and Matt Ryan is overrated...

LOL, just kidding. You guys run a great blog over there, keep up the good work. IF you happen to advance then good luck to your squad. But as the original poster said, can’t be neutral all the time so Go Giants.

by sexyscottish on Jan 7, 2012 12:30 PM EST reply actions  

Turner, thank you guys as well.

I enjoyed The Falcoholic this week (amazing name, btw), and it is pretty cool that we all, as fans, get to forget about our lives for a little bit each week and come together and have civil discussions about football and the teams we love.

Hope to you see you lose tomorrow, and hope both teams stay healthy, most importantly! :)

well like that unfunny Frank Caliendo said

they never said the dream was about teh superbowl

nygmen123: Again, without Vick or Maclin, or Cromartie. Injuries don't seem to bother them. They just bring in guys to make plays
nygmen123: Stopped the Pats on the first series. Planted Brady twice. Guess what gang? This team isn't quitting. Or making excuses.
Simms-McC: Yeah -- I wish the Giants were more like the Eagles
nygmen123: In intensity and fight? Right now, so do I.
EAGLES LOSE, 38-20.

i am sure our divisional opponents don’t think the same way.
