Something To Look Forward To!

[Patler]

For those of you a lot younger than I am, in about 40 years or so you will be able to debate with “youngsters” about whether Henry Hotshot, who has just broken all of Peyton Manning’s career passing records, is really a better QB than Manning, or even better than Favre, whose records Manning surpassed.

You will be able to argue that the rules changes made in 2025, not allowing DBs to touch a receiver until two steps after he has caught the ball, have been entirely responsible for QBs routinely throwing for 500 yards per game; and the increase from 16 regular season games to 20 regular season games has inflated single season totals beyond what Manning or Favre could have hoped for in a mere 16 game schedule. Besides, the rule change that doesn’t allow QBs to be tackled gives Henry Hotshot a level of confidence in the so-called pocket that neither Favre nor Manning enjoyed.

One thing is for certain, Favre at his size could never play “today” in 2045 when the average QB is 6’8, 270 lbs. It was a completely different game back “then” when linemen at about 300 lbs were the size of running backs “today”, and you rarely saw a 400 pounder. Yup, those players from the turn of the century couldn’t even step on to the field with the athletes/players of 2045!


Just a little something for you all to look forward to!!

So Grady Jackson was just ahead of his time. Here I've been thinking he was fat.

No, Grady is fat.
The new training methods and nutritional "supplements" available in 2045 will make the players bigger, stronger, faster and better conditioned than those old time players like Favre or Manning.

I see. So then Tony Mandarich and Jose Canseco were just ahead of their times. The Players will be popping the Bill Romanowski line of performance enhancing "supplements".

Those supplements will allow players to maintain a true 5% bodyfat at 400lbs!!!

*ducking*

No, they will be popping new ones, maybe even legal ones.

Do you not think that players will continue to get bigger and bigger, as they have for the last 40 years?

And we'll be making fun of Matt Hasselback because baldness will be a thing of the past.

Yeah, I'm just having fun with my vision of the future. 40 years from now I expect headlines like "Soldier Field Condemned - Bears Move To Peoria".

Just travel to Europe and look at some 500 year old buildings, and the size of the old beds. Humans have been getting bigger for long time now.

In 40 years, Matt will be President of the Hairclub for Men, and be proudly sporting his new mullet.

Yeah, or look at their door frames. I'm not a big guy, but had to duck going from room to room in many of the old castles. It is clear those buildings were built for much smaller people.

I would say the Hairclub for Men will be a thing of the past because it's not your real hair...and there will be a cream you rub on your head that regrows hair where you rub it. Matt with a mullet...you may be onto something!

[Patler]

..and there will be a cream you rub on your head that regrows hair where you rub it.

Just make sure you wear gloves when you apply it, and don't let any of it drip down your back!

Well, this thread has taken an unexpected turn!!!

Funny how I still fit in all those old beds and door frames.

In August of 2045, headlines in Detroit will be saying, "Is this the year the Lions finally make it to the Super Bowl?'

GM Matt Millan shouts from his motorized wheelchair, "The new WR we drafted in the first round this year should help us get over the hump!"

Ummm, how many beds are we talking about Zig?
