the most amazing aspect of all of this is that he has peterson, and is still this bad. imagine his numbers without peterson last year he might have had 10 td's.

I just watched the win over the Jags from last year. Two things really stood out to me.
1. Ponder looked good. Really good. He was decisive, poised, and made several big plays. I thought he looked even better than the win vs GB in week 17.
2. Harvin was a beast. I'm really gonna miss him as a Viking. If he stayed healthy, I believe he would've won the MVP.
Yeah, he's proven he can be the guy, the probowler QB we need. He just has to perform that way (or close to it) week in and week out.

"Troll (Internet)

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (
Sound familiar
Exactly! Someone who merely disagrees with you is not a troll.
And here's a real example of trolling.

Inflammatory, extraneous, off-topic, and unnecessary.
Now what's it called when someone stalks a female online and tries to post personal info about her in a public forum?

I make a request of a legitimate case and we get the past 2 pages of... well you all know what it is.
So the argument is "we haven't seen it yet." That is great. You haven't seen him be good so he cannot ever be good. By that logic no one should ever draft a QB since when they come out of college we've never seen them be good in an NFL game so they cannot ever be good? Right?
This started out as a solid post in the classic sense of this board which I've come to enjoy. Now it has turned into something else...

Since the issue of issue of what constitutes a troll or trolling keeps coming up...
Wikipedia's definition is actually pretty good but for those with Wikipedia issues, here are a few more links to definitions, including one from the Oxford English Dictionary:
noun
1 informal a deliberately provocative online posting intended to incite an angry response.
a person who submits a deliberately provocative posting.
An internet 'troll' is an abusive or obnoxious user who uses shock value to promote arguments and disharmony in online communities. Named after the wicked troll creatures of children's tales, an internet troll is someone who stirs up drama and abuses their online anonymity by purposely sowing hatred, bigotry, racism, mysogyny, or just simple bickering between others. Trolls like a big audience, so they frequent blog sites, news sites, discussion forums, and game chat. Trolls thrive in any environment where they are allowed to make public comments.
At the lighter end of the troll spectrum, trolls can be personal friends who like to goad and joke with their buddies online. In this case, 'trolling' will mean 'stop hassling me, or I won't invite you to my birthday party'.
At the harsher end of the troll spectrum, trolls are cruel and malicious users who want to set an online community on fire with hate and discord.
There's more at the last link if anyone's really interested.

This wasn't even halfway through the season. Didn't have the games at SEA, GB, CHI and home vs CHI. I nearly punched my screen looking at that youtube video
