The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquiring...
Re: The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquring...
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)
Not all that counts can be counted. Not all that can be counted counts.

His ridiculous voice + his answers = hilarious.
Here's an example:

Re: The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquring...
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

Re: The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquring...
Absolutely. Rivers is, and has been, the better QB.Balzac wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 8:14 amSerious?Pac_Eddy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 5:46 am I've avoided Eli Manning ever since draft day when he & his dad pulled the shenanigans on his draft day to avoid San Diego.

Re: The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquring...
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.Pac_Eddy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 5:46 am I've avoided Eli Manning ever since draft day when he & his dad pulled the shenanigans on his draft day to avoid San Diego.

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.

Re: The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquring...
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

Re: The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquring...
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.

Re: The Ridiculous Reason I Avoid Acquring...
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).
