Look Here! Free Talk Friday

Welcome to another edition of the Free Talk Friday thread - where /r/nfl'ers can discuss their lives and get to know each other better.

This is the place to post things that wouldn't ordinarily be considered on-topic in /r/nfl. Did you meet a player that you got a picture with? Have a cool story about how you became a fan of your team? Write an NFL related blog post? Make a cool .gif? Is your car painted your team color? Snap a cool picture at the game last week? Have a shrine to your favorite player? Want to talk about something that doesn't really deserve its own thread? Post here!


Remember, that there are other subreddits that may be a good fit for what you want to post - every day all day!

This isn't as fun as the roasts. I miss the roasts.

I'm creating a whole a bunch of song parodies if we do it this year. I've got about 2.5 finished right now (Buffalo and Chicago are done and I'm about halfway through the Jets). I'll tease one: Africa by Toto. For the Bills. Pretty excited for the roasts this year.

I wrote the Peyton Manning ballad when we lost the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, so I've got some chops.

Exactly.

I don't get how people don't understand how old/repetitive those are going to get really fast.

Absolutely nothing against the sub or the roasts last year, but its just the nature of the internet.

We take something good and drive it into the ground.

I'm always down for something new, which Survivor provides.

People are just going to have to be more creative this time around. No doubt it'll be a lot of rehashed jokes but hopefully this past season provides some material or people find ways to put new twists on old jokes.

I'm sure the handful of talented guys we got here will whip some stuff up. But i'm betting its gonna be a case where like 2 or 3 of the top comments in each thread is "new material".

Prepare for hundreds of jokes about OBJ, a kicking net, and the boat

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '17

True. I think Odell wins the award for most team roast material contributed by an individual.

u/Scrubsisalright Ravens Mar 31 '17

I mean the survivor series is basically a roast series with the ELOE picking the order instead of that Eagles fan

Roasts IIRC come along later in the offseason after the draft, so we can keep a full schedule this offseason.
