Does anyone else thinks this one sucked??
Posted: Nov 19, 2007 @ 8:13AM 71 replies
OK so I am a total junkie! I loved Earthcore, Ancestor, Infection....and then we get to Rookie. Which I think totally sucked!!! I listened to the whole thing and I thought it might get better but it didn't!! It was a podcast about footbal....not violence and gore and gross and yuck like I like! All the call ins I have heard except for one LOVED the Rookie. Is there anyone out there who thinks that it sucked???? Erin Podcast Junky's official sidekick www.podcastjunky.com

First I should point out that I'm a die hard football fan who plays in about 10 fantasy football leagues each year (JP, no smart remarks about fantasy football).  Most of them for money and I have always won more money than I pay out.  (Yeah I know, I'm bragging a little).  So, do I like the Rookie???????  Ummm, Yeah!!!

The Rookie was the FDO's best finished podcast novel so far if I say so myself. How did it suck?

puts me to sleep, nonstop? have you ever bin to a footy game? boring.  now mma, hockey, A-Football all good games.  mostly because of the big hits and aggression. a soccer match is always going to be the same. 

 

what's wrong with a bit of senseless violence to a lemming?

they're only going to walk off a cliff.

I never cared about Regular football, but I am a total fan of Alien football, I really loved that book, and with all the extra's, explaining about the game , Scott added in special episodes' I understood the player positions and other things that made me really "see" the game.  and when I stared listening I really didn't think I would be interested enough to care about it.... but I was really HOOKED from the beginning.  This is one story that would really make a neat movie.

I absolutely can not make any smart remarks about fantasy football. Afterall, I play in about 10 fantasy watch the cheerleader leagues each season...

That was a little funny. But...what if I'm serious? Sure would be a great fantasy league thing, don't you think?

I'd be their number 2 fan. With you as Number 1 fan of course....

It would be called NWTCL (National Watch The Cheerleaders League)

And we'd go see the NWCTL Superbowl. LOL

When Shadygirl and I get to Europe next month, our two-fold goal will be to encourage the viewing of American Football and the associated viewing of American Football cheerleaders. (Oh, and definitely the viewing of our NFL Superbowl commercials. Even though, I have to admit, there are lots of great commercials on the tube in Europe that would never make it past the politically-correct humor police here in the US.) I guess you and I, and our gals are the founding members of the NWTCL! Only let's call it the WTCL, IWTCL or GWTCL. This baby needs to be international or global! Hey, I just reminded myself of a funny conversation I had in Zagreb...

When you come over to Europe you can have football but the cheerleaders are hard to find unfortunately.

And I guess the motion just passed....

And it's official: from this day on there will be a GWTCL

(at least in the minds of at least 2 certain junkies...)

(Pro that is, I like college) I was hesitant to listen to Rookie at first.  But damn glad I did, it was excellent! Even my wife was hooked on Rookie. Sigler does football to the Extreme. Cant wait for Starter.

Shadygirl and I both like the pro ball. I never got into the college ball because I'm pretty sure the local kiddy league would have put my school's team in the hospital. Shadygirl went to a school with a sucky team, but after she graduated, they got their act together. So we both kind of missed out on the benefit of the whole college ball experience. So it's pro for us. Oh, and we are ice hockey fans. And pro rodeo fans.

It just seems the college players have more speed and agility when on the field. Club rodeo in OKC lets you shoot pool, have a few drinks and watch live Bull riding all at the sametime. Had a blast!
