Maithanet Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Haloti...Na....Na....Nganna work here anymore. Quote Haloti Ngata, one of the most dominant defensive linemen of his era, scaled new heights to announce his retirement. In an Instagram post, Ngata stood on top of Mount Kilimanjaro -- the world's tallest free-standing mountain -- with a banner that read, "I'm retiring from the NFL on top."

Since they wouldn't go to Cleveland again? And the Raiders would be thirsty enough to agree to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbigski Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Dude, A. Calling 38 and 58 year olds 'girls' is demeaning in a way orthogonal to whatever one may think about sex work. B. Maybe it's just because I'm turning 46 next week but for as much as I despise the million or so Patriots bandwagon fans in Connecticut that never heard of John Hannah or Mosi Tatupu (Still love that Simpsons Halloween ep from '93 or so btw) I don't think you can slag a widower in his 70s for finding something to like about middle aged women.

A. So calling them girls is some how offensive? When the fuck did that become demeaning? They have been called sex slaves, hoes, hookers etc. and you choose "girls" to rile up against? B. When did I say anything "slagging" him for finding middle aged women? He clearly just took whoever was available since it wasn't set up in advance and he was in and out in like 15 minutes. I posted it because the assumption has been that they were much younger and potentiallly females (since girls, women, chicks are all offensive) who were locked in there. Turns out they are older, have drivers and massage therapist licenses. And BTW, many people find being called Dude insulting and demeaning.... since you like to call people out for putting labels on people. I don't mind it, but I feel I must stick up for the ones how do~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course he’ll fight with all his power to suppress the tape. If it gets out he’s finished. Also, F you for going 15/16 and I’m glad it was my alma mater that denied you a perfect first day!

Rockroi Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Rob Gronkowski Announces Retirement This has to be an unsurprising shock. Obviously, Gronk's retirement was a foregone conclusion even as it seemed to drag on since the Superbowl. But Even still, there was always the chance that Brady would coax another season out of the probably the most incredible TE who ever lived (there are legit arguments to be made on who the greatest TE was- its either Gonzalez due to longevity of Gronk due to Time on the Field- that's another discussion). But Football is a merciless sport and its already taken its toll on Gronk; he has been hurt numerous times over the course of his career. And his injuries have been a constant sore spot between him and the team; his family has been all but hostile towards Belichick. When he was on the field, there was nothing like Gronk. He was bigger than most of the LBs who tried to cover him and was as fast and as quick as many of the DBs who tried in vain to stop him. He was faster than anyone his size had any right to be; could block like a fiend and was as strong as the most DEs. He had better hands than any TE who ever lived and could juke like a WRs. He also touted the party line when it came to his own injuries, something that towards the end seemed to chaff. I saw him play many many times and he was an absolute force of nature; he was so important and so vital to what was going on on the field, that he could (and did) simply take a game open. Or required to much attention that everyone else was open. He was so ludicrously hard to defend, that he began to get "Shaq Treatment" wherein the refs would see how dominant he was and just assume he was cheating; neglecting to see how over-matched his hapless defenders were at all times. The last catch he made in the NFL won a Superbowl. Not too shabby. But if there was one play that will epitomize Gronk's uetter wrecking ball style it will be this one: Gronk catching, wrecking, outrunning and just dominating an over-matched D. Later in that same game, Gronk just threw Sergio Brown into next week. I am stopping short of saying I am sad he's gone. As stated, football is brutal and if Gronk can make half the money while experiencing 1/10th the injuries, there is no way to fault him for that. Whether its wrestling or movies or being paid to party, I hope he gets everything he deserves and none of the downside. He gave me and my friends a near decade of great joy. See you in Canton, Gronk.
