Again with the Chargers hype? They're failure in powder blue.

Norv Turner is their coach. C'mon.

This guy is clearly very, very high

The Cowboys are farking 3rd? That's horseshiat. As long as Romo the Giant Douchebag is their starting QB and fat fark Wade Phillips is their coach, they'll never get deeper into the playoffs than the second round.

As a Skins fan, I might be a little biased, but seriously, 3rd? GTFO.

I would say 26th is a little low for my Skins too, they're good for at least 24th.

Anyone who gets angry about this must also chase rabbits, eat shiat and bark at the moon.

HEY! We're one guy who can kick against the Jets in a rainstorm away!

But yeah, that list is stupid. The Broncos, and maybe even the Raiders & Chiefs will be stronger this year so the AFC West may be a bit tougher.

Yeah, I'm angry. The Bears are too high.

Bears at 27. Sounds about right.

Heckuva job, Jerry.

Treygreen13: You're the first person I've ever heard call Romo a douchebag.

Do you leave Texas much?

I agree here. Romo's actually a pretty classy guy from everything I've seen. Which is to say nothing of his football abilities, however.

kronicfeld: The Bengals? Haha. Right.

Yeah, if you're gonna perform fellatio on the Bengals and their fans, why not put them at number one? It's not much more ridiculous.

Ooo, I've got a story. So a friend of mine is in this bar in Grayton Beach, FL 2 years ago and she sees Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson show up. So the whole night Jessica is sitting at the bar by herself and he's shiatfaced and badgering the DJ to let him DJ and getting pissy when then DJ won't let him. "Don't you know how I am" and all that.

/but that's all I got
//leaving tony ALONE!

The only thing that pisses me off is that this list exists in the first place.

Treygreen13: You're the first person I've ever heard call Romo a douchebag. What have you seen from him to make you think he's a douchebag?

He wears a star on his helmet, that's all it takes for me. He's also overrated and a choke artist.

You should leave Texas once in a while, there's a whole world out there.

The Bills are too high.

There's got to be at least a few college or CFL teams that you could rank above them.

The Cowboys also look a little high and while I'm probably the opposite of a Cowboy fan (despite being friends with Dwayne "The Sphinx" Thomas), Romo doesn't seem like a bad fellow. Of course I don't think Phillip Rivers is that bad of a fellow and he sends people into conniptions for some reason.

It seems like everyone calls him a douchebag or "Homo".

if he spent his golf time on actual QB learnin', maybe he could win a playoff game with those overhyped egomaniacs in dallas

kronicfeld: Treygreen13: You're the first person I've ever heard call Romo a douchebag. What have you seen from him to make you think he's a douchebag?

Backwards hat. It's science. See, e.g.:

I'm currently wearing a backwards hat, so I'm getting a kick in the ego from these remarks.

Broncos #24, wtf? TEBOW!

You will never see any player in the entire country hold a clipboard as hard as Tim will hold a clipboard this season!


oh, and Al Davis is still not dead...

arggh!

Nabb1: kronicfeld: Treygreen13: You're the first person I've ever heard call Romo a douchebag. What have you seen from him to make you think he's a douchebag?

Backwards hat. It's science. See, e.g.:

I knew I wasn't the only one who subscribed to that theory. The only notable exception to the rule is Ken Griffey, Jr., but beyond that, it's a fairly reliable metric.

There was a post in deadspin a few weeks ago about The Kid and his backwards hat. Something about how it makes us feel old, and damn if it doesn't look silly past a certain age.



I think this guy ruined it for everyone.

Treygreen13: Yes. Do you go to Texas much?

I used to go pretty frequently, admittedly not since Romo has been QB. I asked b/c there are a lot of people who think he's a douche and the only people I've ever heard defend his honor are Texans. Maybe it's just because I'm in Philly where everyone thinks he's a douche, but I've heard that opinion of him more than any other.

Doesn't everyone in Philly think everyone is a douche?

Damn...is putting the Chargers #1 in preseason rankings some sort of prerequisite now? They've got a pretty weak division so naturally they'll have 11-12 wins, 4 of them basically automatic wins. But c'mon...sheesh...

/glad to see my Pack ranked high
//would almost rather they be an under-dog though...

Packers are too high. Counting on a rookie addition to upgrade your offensive line (for pre-season polling) is dumb.

//Packers fan.

Bengals? Number 6?

Which brings me to my next point....don't smoke crack.

mjbok: Counting on a rookie addition to upgrade your offensive line (for pre-season polling) is dumb.

I read the rankings wrong, but still counting on an unproven rookie at any position is dumb.

The Packers' stellar playoff defense will be the foundation for yet another Super Bowl.

Oh wait.

They're doing what the Giants did. If you make it to the playoffs ever farking year you'll eventually win the super bowl.

I agree here. Romo's actually a pretty classy guy from everything I've seen. Which is to say nothing of his football abilities, however.

Because obviously the QB currently ranked third All-Time, in terms of NFL QB rating is somehow lacking in football ability?

I do not know why so many fans try to relate TEAM success, in terms of playoff wins etc., to the individual play of the QB.

With that said, Tony's team has won 70% farking percent of the games in which he has been the starting QB, so whether you go by his career QB rating of 95.6, or the winning percentage of his team with him at the helm, Tony Romo is one hell of a good Quarterback.

I can certainly make a lot better case for the Boys deserving to be ranked 3rd than I could for the chargers deserving to be ranked 1st. I really don't get that one at all.

FWIW, even as a Dallas Cowboys homer, I would probably rank them more like 5th in the "power rankings" right now.

Doc Daneeka: The Bills are too high.

There's got to be at least a few college or CFL teams that you could rank above them.

With the Bills moving to Toronto soon, I guess you can classify them as a Psuedo-CFL team

No team has ever made a Super Bowl in its home stadium

No, Ken Griffey Jr is a douchebag too. Just because Seattle thinks the sun shines out his ass doesn't make it true. It's an interesting phenomenon - the dude forced a trade to exactly one team because he couldn't stand the farking place. Then he comes back when they're the only team that will have him, shows up late and fat to spring training, hits .180 when he's not sleeping in the clubhouse DURING games (it's not douchebag arrogance, it's an idiosyncrasy), leaves town to quit without acknowledging his teammates or the fans, and uses his retirement statement to complain about his lack of playing time. Douche. Bag.

JohnBigBootay: Douche. Bag.

He is all of what you said and more. I could tell you some good ones from when he was in Cincy that aren't public knowledge.
