More NFL stupidity

[Papelbon's Poutine]

You're arguing just to argue. You are implying there is no difference between someone having the name "Grugier-Hill" or "Ochocinco", and someone jumping on a fad and adding "Sr./Jr./III" to their nameplate.

I'm saying a) their legal name might actually be "Odell Beckham Jr" or "Robert Griffin III' (and I believe both actually are) and b) what the fuck do you care? Is this really impacting your viewing enjoyment? Do you lose sleep over this? Who gives a shit? Let them put 'McCrapStain' on there if they want. Does it bother you when they're socks aren't pulled up to the proper height? Jesus fuck, getting pissy over the suffix on their jersey is exactly the point of this thread. The NFL or fans worrying about dumb shit like celebrations or uniform violations.

The NFL changed the rules to allow "generational titles" on uniforms 5 years ago, that's to RGIII

Ok, that one would be ruined by a suffix.

These photos are not stupidity, they are brilliance.

If you doubt just how serious this topic is to me you clearly haven't read the thread closely enough.

(Is this what it feels like to be CoRP?)

You don't ever go full CoRP.

People grumpy about "Sr" and "Jr" on the nameplates of jerseys should have their children taken away.

How about MD? Or DDS, if Bill Lenkaitas I mean Jim Lonborg made a comeback?

Well clearly that's different, in a medical emergency you'd want to know who you could count on. This is why I'm also for making all doctors on long-haul flights wear comically-oversized sombreros - it just makes everyone breathe easier.

 

[jcd0805]

wow the PMT guys asked that ridiculous question as a joke and yet apparently some actually have a problem w/Jr., Sr., III et al? hahahahahahah wow I wish I could show them this thread lolololol

Martellus has a response to the NFL's video on Celebration

"I'm going to be taking a 15 minute dump whenever we're supposed to watch this "educational" video. I can feel my stomach bubbling now"

Are we seriously going to debate this stupid Sr./Jr. thing without any further comment on this? This was an *epic* rant. Marty is a goddamned hero.

While I have the floor, I think that if a player's hair is long enough to interfere with the opponents' ability to read the number on the back of their jersey they should be required to wear it up. Otherwise they have an unfair advantage.

or that the hair be treated as part of the jersey, in terms of potential penalties.

I'm all for stupid pet peeves. This is one takes the cake though. Good job guys.

Some red-zone/short-yardage RB should change his name to Daylight Savings, so that when the team was down on the 1 yard line, the fans and announcers could say "Get ready to spring forward, it's Daylight Savings Time!"

 

[drbretto]

I dunno about a pet peeve, but Muhammad Sanu putting Sr on the back of his jersey so no one confuses him with a toddler... actually never mind. That makes sense.

 

[Super Nomario]

I'm for the suffixes on the jerseys, if only for the possibility of Mississippi State draft prospect Justin Senior naming his son "Justin Senior Junior" and putting "Senior Sr." on the back of his jersey.

Maybe a son of Ochocinco will play, as 'Ochocinco Dos'

And, 250+ years from now, one of Tom Brady's descendants can wear TB 12

If a player wants to put Esq. after his last name, another player on the team should be required to put Theodore before his.
