offensive logic

Once again, a gem from a convo with Ryan

Ryan 10:35 pm: Ben H:  i mean, calling people fags isn’t offensive if you know they’re not fags

Ryan: 2 seconds ago
from the man himself

surprise!

This was sent to me via an AIM conversation from my good friend Michael Cera Ryan

Ben: Life is full of surprises. Like a kids cereal box.

Ryan: There’s only one surprise in a cereal box. So that comparison doesn’t make any sense.

Ben: Unless it’s your first time eating that cereal. Then there are two surprises. The actual surprise itself, plus the surprising taste of the cereal.

Brady deserves no praise

Ben H 9:35 pm
he is not “shredding” anyone al michaels
holy shit
HE WAS WIDE OPEN
STOP GIVING BRADY CREDIT ON THAT
str33tliight0224 9:35 pm
dude they say the QB is shredding when he’s hitting targets left and right’
thats whats happening
Ben H 9:35 pm
no
str33tliight0224 9:35 pm
yes it is
Ben H 9:35 pm
then colinsworth chimed in
with some brady loving remark
str33tliight0224 9:36 pm
yes, he’s getting the praise he deserves
Ben H 9:36 pm
no
he deserves about 10% of the praise he gest
gets
str33tliight0224 9:37 pm
haha
dude how can you say he doesnt deserve the praise he gets
Ben H 9:37 pm
first off…
because he gets SO MUCH PRAISE
too much
second
he is the result of “the system” which we won’t get into
third, he has had GREAT offensive lines
and he gets all the credit
when if he had less protection, he’d be a sitting duck
mostly, its the system thing
i would love nothing more than to see brady with some other team
Ben H 9:39 pm
he would be 1/10th of what he is in NE
str33tliight0224 9:39 pm
lol
i love it
I LOVE IT
YOUR TEARS ARE DELICIOUS
Ben H 9:40 pm
yeah, because i’m crying
str33tliight0224 9:40 pm
I love the system quarterback argument
Ben H 9:40 pm
its not an argument
its fact
str33tliight0224 9:40 pm
its an opinion
Ben H 9:40 pm
you’re blinded by your love
str33tliight0224 9:40 pm
tony romo sucks
Ben H 9:40 pm
if only you could see it from the outside
haha, nice comeback
str33tliight0224 9:40 pm
im just saying
its a fact
Ben H 9:40 pm
romo sucks?
yeah right
str33tliight0224 9:40 pm
if only you could see it from the outside
Ben H 9:40 pm
romo is better than brady, if both were given the same system
str33tliight0224 9:41 pm
HAHAHAHAHA
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS
Ben H 9:41 pm
romo:
better playmaker
better scrambler
better passer outside the pocket
better intangibles
better leader
str33tliight0224 9:41 pm
Brady: doesn’t need to scramble or leave the pocket because he can read a defense
Ben H 9:41 pm
better teammate
better personality
str33tliight0224 9:41 pm
oh my god
you are so jaded
this is insane
Ben H 9:41 pm
only thing brady does better is throw in the pocket
but if he wasn’t with this O-line, he’d never be in the pocket
so he’d just suck
seriously, when do you EVER see brady throw on the run?
he is always just sitting there in the pocket or stepping up
its so easy, and he gets alllllllll the credit
str33tliight0224 9:43 pm
because he is smart
and finds space
and completes passes
Ben H 9:43 pm
finds space???
hahahahaha
all there is is space
str33tliight0224 9:43 pm
thank you for the compliment
dude brady doesnt scramble because he doesnt need to
he sidesteps
he makes space and steps up
like a real QB should
Ben H 9:43 pm
i’m complimenting the o-line
which these so called nfl “experts” should try doing
instead of giving it all to brady
Ben H 9:45 pm
and
he is a bad teammate
case made
romo is more funloving
Ben H 9:45 pm
gunslinging
romo is human
seems like a human
brady is just a private egotisical ass whole fails to realize that his fame is the product of corruption, rather than thanking his lucky stars he gets this free ride
str33tliight0224 9:48 pm
so theres no talent involved?
Ben H 9:48 pm
talent, oh sure he has talent, every guy who made the nfl has talent
just, the gap between actual talent and recognized talent is larger with brady than any athlete in history
str33tliight0224 9:49 pm
you are so incorrect
you should call into late night talk radio
Ben H 9:49 pm
haha, of course you think i’m in correct
hahahahaha
imagine me in boston sports radio
as a call in tonight
str33tliight0224 9:49 pm
youd be a gimmick
Ben H 9:49 pm
that would be classic
i would love to have the power for them not to be able to click me off
i’d just keep going
Ben H 9:50 pm
and they’d have to listen, and people would have to listen if it was on their radio
they couldn’t shut me up
str33tliight0224 9:50 pm
that is slightly maniacal
Ben H 9:51 pm
let me put it this way
if people aren’t going to vote for people into the baseball HOF because they were connected to steroids, then if i got an NFL vote, i wouldn’t vote a single member of a patriot team in the belicheat era in
that means, no viniteiri, no brady, no moss
well, mayyyyybe moss
because he had all those culpepper years

NESPN, an introduction

(You may notice that there will be many posts having to do with the national media. This is because Ice believes that every major network loves New England sports. Except for the Celtics, who are “hated” by the media in favor of the Lakers and Cavs. That said, ‘NESPN’ = ESPN, who, in Ice’s eyes, love the Red Sox and Patriots and hate the Yankees and Cowgirlsboys.)

Ben H 9:14 pm
see this is what i knew would happen
indy’s defense is so banged up
str33tliight0224 9:25 pm
dude
EVERYONE has been saying that
Ben H 9:25 pm
and the worst part is
even though their defense is banged way up
tomorrow, all you’ll hear is “LOOK AT THE PATS OMFGOMGOMF BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE”
on 1st and 10
str33tliight0224 9:25 pm
yep
Ben H 9:25 pm
and radio
and SC
str33tliight0224 9:25 pm
yessir
Ben H 9:26 pm
all NESPN stuff
but still

(pause)

str33tliight0224 9:27 pm
but still…?
Ben H 9:27 pm
i mean, its NESPN so obviously they’re going to toot the pats horn
“but still”
meaning, regardless its going to happen

Stupid biased national coverage

Ben H 9:16 pm
obviously everyone didn’t think indy was too banged up
why does every national broadcast have to do this?
Ben H 9:18 pm
i mean its alllllllllllll belicheat, brady
as if we haven’t heard before
[to chris colinsworth]: wrong, belicheat has no “brainpower”
why does colinsworth always talk like he has water stuck in his throat

Sounds like it

(Discussing which poker table I was playing at, guest starring mi amigo Chris)
str33tliight0224: 1891
Ben H: 1891
Ben H: sounds like a year
Chris: it was a year idiot

Pats/Colts? Overhyped.

Before the Patriots/Colts game on 11/5/09…

Ben H 7:23 pm
this pats/colts game tonight really doesn’t matter
its overhyped
because the steelers are winning the AFC
regardless
str33tliight0224 7:24 pm
no, theyre not
they lost to cincy AGAIN
Ben H 7:24 pm
i don’t care
that just means that ONE team is a very tough matchup for them
that happens sometimes
throw out a week one loss to the bears (fluke)
and the two bengals losses
and they’re 6-0
str33tliight0224 7:25 pm
okay
Ben H 7:25 pm
and they play in a very tough division
with baltimore and cincy
str33tliight0224 7:25 pm
throw out the pats loss to the jets (fluke) and the one loss to the broncos
6-0
same exact argument
Ben H 7:25 pm
HAHA
you’re throwing out horrible losses
jets and broncos?
str33tliight0224 7:25 pm
SO ARE YOU
dude
come on now
Ben H 7:26 pm
THAT’S A HORRIBLE LOSS
?
str33tliight0224 7:26 pm
you said so
Ben H 7:26 pm
what?
Ben H 7:26 pm
when did i say taht
find where i said losing to the bengals was a horrible loss
str33tliight0224 7:26 pm
Ben H 7:24 pm
i don’t care
that just means that ONE team is a very tough matchup for them
Ben H 7:26 pm
YES
str33tliight0224 7:26 pm
the broncos are just a touch matchup for the pats
Ben H 7:26 pm
how the eff did i say its a horrible loss?
no
str33tliight0224 7:26 pm
same argument
Ben H 7:26 pm
broncos aren’t even CLOSE to as good as the bengals
they just lost to the redskins?
are you kidding
plus they lost last week
str33tliight0224 7:27 pm
orton was out for the second half
Ben H 7:27 pm
orton sucks
i don’t care how well he’s doing
do you really think orton has a chance against a GOOD defense
str33tliight0224 7:27 pm
dude i cannot talk about this with you anymore

Starting it off right

This is a quintessential Ben Ice sports conversation

During the Pats/Colts game on 11/15/09

Ben H 8:45 pm
belicheat’s challenge success=35%
that’s not good because he’s not a good coach, you can’t cheat on challenge reviews
str33tliight0224 8:48 pm
that doesnt make any sense
str33tliight0224 8:49 pm
you are one giant facepalm
Ben H 8:49 pm
oh yes
that is a good fact i thought you should know
Ben H 8:49 pm
to back me up
str33tliight0224 8:49 pm
no it isnt
it just means he has shitty luck on challenges
Ben H 8:50 pm
no
he’s like 19/53 or something
53 is enough to throw out luck
he just sucks
