Luck was--is?--a great QB who could have been better than Manning had the cokehead owner not ruined his shoulder by making him play injured for two seasons.
Luck injury woes, while tragic, couldn't have happened to a shitter franchise. Remember, it was Jim Irsay and Bill Polian who made the NFL be even more strict on the Mel Blount rule, which gave more leeway to receivers and quarterbacks. Ironically, this was done after Patriots CB Ty Law wrecked Manning's shit, and making the refs more strict on pass interference helped improve Tom Brady's stats.
Before 2004: 62% accuracy and 6.6 yards per throw
After 2004: 64% accuracy and 7.7 yards per throw
Brady would also win three more Super Bowls, while Manning would win just one for the Colts, against Rex fucking Grossman.
That and the drafting I really don't get. Football (proper) here has leagues in tiers. You've got the Bundesliga, the second Bundesliga below that, the third league below that and after that it's regional leagues and so on. You don't get to have a say what league you're in. You're in the last two places of the Bundesliga? It's second Bundesliga for you next year.
Then there's also the rule that no company or person can ever own a team by majority share and that you've got to have a stable finance plan and be solvent to even stay in the two highest leagues in the first place.
And we don't have anything like drafting at all. You make contracts with whoever you want.
Baseball is just as baffling with your two big leagues that somehow get thrown together as MLB but then again not. Your whole playoffs and superbowl and point system as well is confusing. It's all so overly complicated for no apparent reason. Drafts I kinda get, I think, with your college system or something. But the other stuff is a mystery to me.
I took a friend who's a Tottenham fan from England to his first baseball game. On the way home I was talking about the abomination that is the Marlins and he started laughing out loud at the concept of luxury tax. He couldn't understand the idea of parity, saying that in soccer if the team sucks they get the boot.
American sports can't really handle relegation because there's a great amount of competition between the leagues and none of them are old enough for every team to become an inherited tradition. If a team sucks, a good amount of people stop supporting the team. Pirates suck? Screw them. We've got the Steelers. And if you relegate the Pirates and promote the Durham Bulls or something, then the fans are going to drop off even more and the team's going to be out so much money that it would probably fold. Meanwhile, Durham is a small market that isn't going to get the fans and the income to support a major-league salary, will fall behind, falter, and eventually fall right back out.
But I'm confused by the comment on points being confusing. Baseball, football, and basketball go off wins and losses, not points.
Shit, even the first video I did got a thousand views by the end of the month. Of course I actually told people about it, this guy is probably under the delusion that 'if you build it, they will come' works.

Youtube messed with how it promotes stuff so it's a lot harder to get views now if you're a random nobody (I mean a full on nobody, not an internet nobody) who's just starting out.
I'm still clobbering this guy though, and hasn't he been doing this for years? I think the big problem isn't that he believes "if you build it, they will come", I think the problem is that he either has no friends to get him the beginnings of a fanbase or his kahntent is just so awful that even his friends won't give him pity views.
Damn son. That's just sad. Certainly makes me feel better about my own little slice of youtube hell.
2 dislikes now :p
I mean, if you're doing it for the hell of it, because you enjoy it or whatever, it doesn't really matter if you have 0 views, there are a lot worse ways to waste your time, like watching TV or sperging on random forums, most of youtube channels go nowhere anyways, on the other hand, first thing what comes from this blobs mouth is how he is bitter about no one watching his videos, so he clearly has or had some delusions of self entitled fame he deserves or smthng.
