Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Official Community Thread [12/16/2011] Elmo watches you sleep

Fooch's Note: We've been running Community Threads since back when the NFL lockout was ruling the day. This is the 20th community post and I thought it was time to get it a little more recognition on the front page.

Welcome to our twentieth installment of the Ninersnation Community Thread. Here we can go into off-topics such as why is bacon so good? Who plays chess? What is snow? So now our front page football topics will be about football (strange concept, I know). First rule is, grammatical errors ignore! Second rule is that site decorum is still on. No talk into religion, politics, or dirty dirty. No personal attacks, racism, or sexist remarks. Images are allowed, just be tasteful and pretend James Harrison is sitting next to you.

This is going to be like the draft threads so we can come back to a discussion so that means REC THIS! That is a good rule of thumb in any situation. So lets have some fun here. The new topic of conversation: Something I did back in the day was a drinking game called Category. Someone would say something like, "Beer brands" and everyone would name a brand until someone couldn't think of another and they would take a drink. Most categories would be related to our age like condom brands, MTV shows, and car manufacturers. Everyone dreaded my turn. My go to for an instant victory was "Muppets". Name different Muppets. Kermit the Frog, GO!

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors.

Crazy Harry

I once played on a soccer team called the Muppets. Each one of us had the name of a Muppet on the back of his jersey. Crazy Harry was me, #11.
I would try to remember which player was which Muppet, but that would ruin your game.

French fries are really Belgian, sausages and bagels have the same amount of protein, two countries' names mean "turkey", and Santa Claus was invented by the Coca-Cola company. Is life weird or what?

Question 4 ya

Do you think James Harrison is considered the meanest player in the league?

Anybody can use words like cheap shot and head shot. To me tha is a void argument for the above question. Harrison was DPOY in 08, he made these kind of tackles back then and was applauded for it. The league office has changed, Harrison hasn’t.

Can you think of anybody considered meaner? Maybe Suh? Ray Lewis?

He was applauded for cheap shots and spearing players with his helmet?

Doubtful… that’s been frowned upon even since the 60’s… but yes, the rules have changed to help make the game a bit more safe. Whether it will work or not is another story.

Either way, a dirty player is a dirty player not matter how you chop it up.

Why isn't the DEFAULT for cooking bacon: CRISPY

Why do so many restaurants give you less than CRISPY bacon?

Who the HELL wants to eat bacon that’s anything less than crispy?

Does it really take THAT MUCH TIME to cook it long enough to get it CRISP?

I mean, bacon should be hard… As if it were BAKED IN A KILN! It should CRUNCH w/every bite. It should NOT be chewy or greasy. BLACKEN THAT SH…!!!

Anyone disagree…?

Flaccid bacon...

…is indeed a crime against nature. I was recently asked at my local IHOP if I wanted my bacon crispy or regular. In my best Winston Churchill voice I replied, “Madame, you should ask if I want my bacon regular or flaccid.”

Totally true story, at least the part about her asking if I wanted it crispy or regular.

Seriously...

What pisses you off more than having your PBAE (Pre-Bacon-Eating-Euphoria) completely DESTROYED by the delivery of undercooked, chewy bacon?

How about...

…when you’re eating a BLT and instead of biting cleanly through the bacon, you pull the whole chewy strip out of the sandwich?

Fuming rage.

Every time Jamie Dukes says something enlightening and informative about football Jerry Rice and I mount up on our flying grizzly bears and claim pirate treasure from the moon. That's how often it happens.

Question

This is thread a fan-post thread. Why is it felt that it has need to be on the front page?
Maybe I have a unique perspective, but the front page should (in my mind) be for the most part for breaking news and notations of interesting posts in other places of the site. I care about and respect those who choose to contribute to the community thread but it is just that, a community thread. Just trying to understand what is expected of this site. By doing this it both makes both less powerful. Just trying to understand perspective.

Friday night

It was Friday not and not much was going on. It was a quiet end of the day and I like posting random stuff on occasion. Had there been breaking news I would have made adjustments accordingly. But Friday night is usually a time for just kicking back and relaxing. This community thread is a way for the community to interact beyond just on a football level. Some folks might not know it exists so I wanted to move one to the front page so people see it. This is the first community thread that has gone on the front page.

I thought you explained it just fine in the bolded part

And I, for one, am glad you did this because I had no idea these threads existed.

Yes he does actually.

My understanding is that he lives in the Country Club that’s 3 or 4 minutes away. He’s a pretty regular customer at this Jamba Juice.
