I've avoided Eli Manning ever since draft day when he & his dad pulled the shenanigans on his draft day to avoid San Diego. On the flip side, that made me a Philip Rivers fan. It was fun to see Rivers end up as the better QB. (I know Manning has two rings, but Rivers would have done at LEAST as well with those Giants teams)

Golden Tate- as a Packers fan I can't forgive the "shared reception" in Seattle that knocked the Pack out of the playoffs

So the Vikes YouTube page does a regular series called 96 Questions hosted by Brian Robison going around the locker room asking teammates a question fans came up with which will usually be them voting a teammate as "most likely" etc. I'm not even a Vikes fan (Bears fan, actually) and I watch every episode because it is great stuff, and Jet McKinnon got some hilarious responses almost every time he gets asked. His ridiculous voice + his answers = hilarious.

Here's an example:

:lol: I watched that entire series. Love the constant roasting of Diggs.

Ok, I had to check out the Mahomes interview

Holy bleep. He sounds like a chain smoking coach trying to sound tough, not a 22 year old

Also, biggest case of voice not matching the person, is Robbie Lawler from the UFC. One of the meanest fighters still around, starts laughing mid fight trading punches in the pocket and seems a little bit of a psychopath. His voice just sounds so wimpy. Office worker wearing khakis and a button up tucked in looking like his belly is a beach ball is his voice

Also, Anderson Silva's voice sounds like a joke. Like a Brazilian Michael Jackson

Absolutely. Rivers is, and has been, the better QB.

Rivers over Eli? Hasn't that been obvious for years?

There's the draft/rookie issues with Eli that immediately turned me off as well. But what has bothered me year-after-year with him is that "bitter beer face" and pouty Eli look that he's always flashing when things aren't going well (admittedly, that's been frequent with the Giants lately). He just comes across as whiny, pouty, bitter Eli. So I stay away because of his demeanor and body language.

Same goes for Cam Newton. His affection for the "cry towel" he loves to put over his head when he's having a bad day really rubs me the wrong way. However, now I just get a good laugh out of it and enjoy the fact that I know Cam is sad. Not a good sideline look for the leader of your franchise. So I avoid having him as the face of mine.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Same reason I hated Elway.

Eli also has a very punchable face.

Never owned Eli in any format, not a single time, because I want to punch that damn face.

Also, OBJ, the hair and his general demeanor

As a Pats fan, Eli is the obvious one. Funny thing is I always had such respect for Peyton. Even on the days that he gutted NE and won, I found myself just tipping my cap. Eli just seemed to luck his way into big moments (salty tears, I know).

Anyway, I never could stand Keyshawn Johnson or Terrell Owens. Owned Owens one time in '07 and it just felt dirty. Avoided them both every other year regardless of the price.

Just a headsup that you spelled acquiring wrong. ;)

One of the reasons I avoid owning Desean Jackson is because his nickname is D-Jax (which to me seems like a subpar copy of AJax).
