What is the saddest NFL picture?
>>78093683
Who is this loser?
This one always stuck with me.
>>78093683
There's a much better photo of Tittle with his head hung down on the bench from that same game. I'll try and find it.
>>78093809
Here we go. It's this one.
>>78093772
Y. A. Tittle, quarterback of the Niners and Giants. He played for some twenty years and his goal was always a championship. That game he got absolutely broken (broken sternum, ribs, concussion) by a tackle and lost his chance to ever win a championship.
>>78093856
This made me rage desu and I'm neither a Cowshits fan or a huge cuckegg fan
>>78095151
No one cares.
>>78093856
damn how can u do tony like that... baka
Poor Boomer never gets a break
>>78095151
My father has the picture of Tittle with his head hung hanging up in his house. When I talked with him about it he says it holds a lot of meaning for him because it feels like it encapsulates what "The end" is like for all players, even great ones.
Almost no player gets a storybook ending to their career (Jerome Bettis and John Elway perhaps being the one exceptions). They just fade away like old soldiers and they give it 100% their whole careers until they're either broken or there's nothing left that they can give.
As a lot of the players I grew up watching start to retire, I start to understand. The lasting image I have of Tony Romo is seeing him doubled over in pain against the Seahawks and the press conference where he concedes his starting job to Dak Prescott. Peyton Manning got the glory in his final game but was a shell of himself and got benched in his final season. Steve Smith came back for another season because he didn't want his last memory to be a torn Achilles, but he still didn't win anything. It's like watching a pet grow old until it can't go on.
>>78095246
Nice blog, fat fuck. Go lose some weight.
>>78095235
Boomer's pretty funny about it.
I think he phrased it once like "I go to speaking engagements and Joe Montana goes to speaking engagements. I get paid $2,500 and he gets paid $25,000"
>Hughes collapsed near Bears linebacker Dick Butkus, who saw him begin to convulse violently on the field. Butkus motioned to the sideline frantically to get Hughes assistance.
>Both teams' doctors and trainers, along with a physician who happened to be attending the game, ran to Hughes to try and save him. An ambulance was called for and arrived to take Hughes to Henry Ford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:34 pm that afternoon. He was 28 years old.
>>78093856
I don't even like the cowboys, but what the actual fuck?
>>78095253
nice standard of living, favela monkey. go beg for some food
>>78095265
I heard a rumor once that Lawrence Taylor was mic'd up for the Joe Theismann hit and when he heard his leg break Taylor started screaming hysterically "OH SHIT!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD, I KILLED HIM!"
Is that true?
>>78093856
Romo accomplished nothing.. why the confusion desu
The NFL Films bit of footage where Dan Marino looks back at the 49ers celebrating after losing Super Bowl XIX is pretty striking
>>78095296
I don't need to eat margarine on a spoon like you do every five minutes, obese fuck. Go lose some weight so maybe you can have sex atleast once in your life. Also, don't reply to me, I don't regard fatties as people.
>>78095246
No one is mentioning Marino. Tragic
>>78095301
Yea. Supposedly he was crying because he thought he had snapped his neck at first
>>78095246
>As a lot of the players I grew up watching start to retire, I start to understand.
I know this feel. Shit even seeing the shell of Peterson this year on the Saints is going to feel strange. Football players other than QB's flame out so quickly, it's sad.
I never asked for these feels
>>78095387
Peterson on the Saints is gonna be like OJ on 49ers, Jim Brown on the Raiders
Cam Newton after Super Bowl 50 is a really interesting one. I know most people see "Haha, what a crybaby", but I personally see a man stripped of his hubris and in a complete state of shock that this happened to him.
Cris Carter being so distraught that he had to be carried off the field after the 1998 NFC Championship loss is another one. You experience that feeling that you're never going to win anything and all the energy in your body just leaves you. Your mind goes into the same state it does when someone dies.
>>78095445
Jerry Rice on the Seahawks,Isaac Bruce on the 49ers, Torry Holt on the Jags, etc
>>78095474
It's really a crime that Vikings team didn't at least make the Super Bowl that year against Denver. Atlanta is good for nothing..
>>78095497
They would have blown it somehow. They're the Vikings.
I think the most sadness comes when you project yourself into the position of the veteran (Especially the ones from small markets) who go to the Super Bowl and lose. The young guys rationalize and say to themselves "It's okay, I'll get plenty of other chances" and the veterans go "No I won't, no I won't". When I think about John Babineaux and Matt Bryant after this year's Super Bowl, I just feel shitty.
>>78095532
And then on the flipside some useless shithead like Osweiler has a ring and got an absurd contract on top of it. There's no justice in handegg. This is why the "muh rings" argument just doesn't work in this sport for the most part.
Not football, but touching on some of the things in this thread. You see a lot of soul crushing In the NHL. One player that really stands out in my mind is Henrik Lundqvist. As much as I don't like the guy and as much as I hate to admit it, he's a great goalie and has been for years. I've watched this guy work so hard for his team and get so close to winning a cup but never actually getting one. Watching him break down on the ice after losing in the playoffs really gets to me. I feel bad for the guy. He's probably going to be one of the greats that never wins a cup.

I have no love for Peterson (UT grad, UT fan growing up) but it's very weird, he is one of the players I have the most memories of. My first live football game was Red River shootout (don't remember if it was '04 or '05) but the guy behind us yelled "TEXAS TRAITOR" as loud as he could every time he got the ball.

Saddest ones yet
The 49ers image swap
Larry Fitzgerald's reaction to the Santonio Holmes catch was quite devastating
>>78093856
The only knock on Romo was he didn't accomplish much
The one of many knocks on the cowboys was they never built a complete team around Romo just a complete oline
>>78097735
Obvious classic.
>>78101207
that was a good thread
Felt so sorry for Brady, I turned of the TV and didn't watch the rest of the game.
How did it turn out?
>>78101469
We´ll do better this year, you´ll see.
Probably a picture of that guy being out at first but the ump calling him safe and that mexican dude being lost to history forever by being robbed of a perfect game
>>78101533

>>78101860
Well, you can't do worse
>>78093856
I don't like Romo but Cowboys fans are ungrateful little bitches. He has handled all the Dak situation with class and humility.

This kills me. Arizona sports in general is depressing. Dbacks are the only championship we've had. Up until that season the Cardinals had only one winning season in 20 years. We were laughed at during the whole playoffs and we were 30 seconds away from the Owl. Larry feels it.

>>78116597
Thanks. Tittle's last game was actually his first, so it's always meant a lot to him. My grandparents took him to Yankee Stadium for his seventh birthday and the Giants got clobbered by the Browns.
The closest thing I have is an 8x10 of Phil McConkey celebrating his touchdown in Super Bowl XXI. I chose it because McConkey was just an ordinary person who had a dream of scoring a touchdown in the Super Bowl, and it came true.

In 2007, LSU won a national championship under Les Miles, one of the more likable people to ever coach in college football. They were the best team in the world and everyone knew it. Also in 2007, Alabama hired coach Nick Saban, a soulless autistic manlet, and had a mediocre season. In a few years though, LSU and Alabama became the two best teams in college football and their game would almost decide the national champion. In 2011, LSU beat Alabama and perhaps had the greatest team in college football history, but because some retarded shit happened, Alabama wound up number two and they had a rematch in the National Championship game. Alabama won. They won the following national championship as well. In this game, 2013, it was clear that LSU had fallen. They were down 38-17 with three minutes left. Mettenberger went out there and was sacked four times in a fucking row. He was left crawling off the field. Alabama has won another national championship since then and has only lost like four games total. Les Miles has been fired. College football was pretty much ruined by a single autistic manlet, and this .gif sums it up completely.
>>78098106
You're right it's joy
>>78117262
Shut your mouth. You're not even from the east bay and you obviously don't give a shit about Oakland's heritage either. You're probably one of those prissy "oh I don't like old stadiums because the seats are too hard on my mushy ass and there's not enough VIP boxes" assholes. There's nothing wrong with the Coliseum. Enjoy driving out to Vegas and having to pay 10 times as much to attend a game just because "much new stadium," but you probably won't because if you're the kind of 'fan' who gets so butthurt over their current home (which is a perfect home for the Raiders anyways: a mad maxian brutalist stadium) you probably wouldn't care enough to drag your ass out into the desert to watch them play. You whiny assholes make me sick.

The raiders were a San Francisco team but that is part of Oakland's heritage too being a second option to every team it has ever held then and now
The raiders made Oakland not the other way you know that so don't bring up Oakland this and that when it was never about Oakland you just host the team millions are a fan of in a terrible stadium with a corrupt politician and even worse mindless population getting pushed around by the A's

This post makes me think of Kurt Warner. There's a player who should've won an Owl in my lifetime, and had opportunities to do so at both ends of his career, and couldn't. Felt terrible for him, even though my team (Packers) got booted by his teams during those playoff runs.
