Stupid Comments from Both Men and Women

This weekend, I went to game 3 of the ALDS in Fenway. I was completely decked out in Angels gear. Obviously, this sparked some interesting conversation. Surprisingly, most of the Red Sox fans I encountered were very nice. After the Angels won, the most common comment I received was "just beat the Yankees." However, there were many ridiculous statement mades. Here they are:

Girl at Starbucks: "Angels! Yay! Go Angels! Who are they playing?"

The X Back Commentary: If you are unaware of the happenings during the playoffs, please do not pretend to be an Angels fan. This series was HUGE.



Guy at CCC: (context: we were discussing Drew Brees v. Philip Rivers.) He made many stupid comments during this debate. Here are the three worst:

(1) "Yeah, but Drew Brees built that system in San Diego."

(2) "Drew Brees had a better quarterback rating last year. He threw for like 500 yards a game."

(3) Unrelated to the Drew Brees debate: "Tom Brady calls his own plays."

The X Back Commentary:

(1) Quarterbacks don't build systems, coaches do. Coaches might build systems around quarterbacks, but that certainly didn't happen when Drew Brees was in San Diego. Aside from that fact, we've gone through a number of offensive coordinators and coaches since then. The system under Norv Turner is different than the one that existed when Cam Cameron was the offensive coordinator...and neither system was pass heavy.

(2) Total yardage and quarterback rating are entirely different. QB Rating for the 2008 Season: Rivers - 105.5; Brees - 96.2. Career qb rating: Rivers - 92.7; Brees 90. Thanks for playing, dude. You're just wrong.

(3) Again, just wrong.
