Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Excellent Read on Nnamdi


I wanted to post this and HIGHLY recommend that everyone check out this article.  I thought this thing deserved better than a fanshot.  Part of what makes this organization great is the players the FO allows into the locker room.  I don't think there is a single NFL fan that would question the man's skills, but this article tells me why our FO went out of their way to bring him in.  There are a lot of great players in this league, but this just proves what a great man we have signed.  This is a very very impressive dude.  Makes T.O. look like Satan . . . I kid, I kid.  Well, kinda.

He was always like this

Dude drove a Nissan Maximia (a 97 nonetheless ) until like the 4th year in the league. Very well spoken and a great guy. He’s a guy that can be your favorite player even though he’ll only spend 2-3 years here

and according to the article he apparently still drives it!

Im pretty sure they said he got another vehicle at some point. He’s worth 60 mill I woulld think he did!!!

Very inspiring story, reminds me of Warrick Dunn and it really makes you scoff at the “Me” athletes

fanshot.

Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...

Wild_Eagle!

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

I know that's what im saying

It’s an article about how basically NA is the Nigerian Mother Theresea but it’s not a good enough article for the fanposts. I would love to see a guideline of good fan posting composed by the fan shot police… i think there was one, i didn’t read it, and if there was another one made I still wouldn’t read it..either way fan shot police grind my gears

That was my thing

I am no noob here, which is easy to tell from my profile. I breeze through the fanshots every once in awhile, but we all know anything of real substance is going to be a fanpost. I’m not going to post any article as a fanpost, but a three page article about the off-field reputation and fascinating life of the biggest free agent in football this year? I am all for policing the fanposts from obvious rubbish . . . but come on, can’t you at least pretend to be reasonable w_e?

A Fanpost should be something substantial. It’s a blog post. If you’re just posting a link or asking a question or want people to be game threading a World Cup game or something, that should be a Fanshot.

Source

FanShots are quick posts, links, images or videos.

When Should You Post a FanShot?

    * Whenever you find a link, a quote, a video or a photo that you think your fellow [members] will enjoy.
    * When you don’t have any commentary to add other to the link, video, photo or quote.
    * When you can’t meet the 75-word minimum for a FanPost.

What makes a good FanPost?

    * Make It Substantial. When we say “substantial”, we don’t mean it has to be a dissertation or manifesto. But if you see the dreaded 75 word warning, it’s either time to put some more thought into your FanPost or start over. If your post contains something like this:

          words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words

      … then it’s probably better as a FanShot. On a related note, just because the “extended entry” option exists, don’t feel as if you have to use it – it’s easily deleted.

Yeah, this

The point is that people should be checking fanshots as often as they check fanposts, and putting links as fanposts allows people to continue to ignore the fanshots section and all the awesome stuff that ends up over there. Joe_D, you’ve said it yourself, you NEVER look at the fanshots. Maybe if you did you’d actually post stuff over there. Plus, if this was a Fanshot it probably would have been front-paged, and everyone would have seen it. The idea that nobody’s gonna see it if its a fanshot is the problem.

Not to mention it’s unfair to the people who actually use the system properly. Imagine if everyone just started posting FanShot material as FanPosts!

Never call a Phillies, Eagles, Flyers or Sixers fans, a band-wagoner. It is disrespectful. We have suffered agony through the years. Philadelphians should be jovial for their teams' success.

this is definitely a guy I would look up to in real life even if he didn’t play football.

Good to know REAL Ambassador's

of high moral character still exist, especially in this selfish get what you can, cut throat world. I applaud the player he is, but more so the man he is, and strives to be. A great African American role model, not only my people but people of all races and backgrounds.

Forget about whether this should be a fanpost or a fanshot for a second…Nnamdi is clearly one of the real good guys in the massively egocentric NFL! Proud to have him as an Eagle.
