I believe he received a Nobel peace prize for just thinking out loud. This is news to me that a person does not have to do anything to receive a peace prize. To be honest I think this was the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

it wouldn't just be the nameless on the board, the entire nation (well those who want to hate on him for everything) would be down obama's throat with "how dare he not accept this award - does he think he's too good for it - that 'monkey' should be happy to get any award even though he's a 'nazi' "

what people need to remember is that this award has lost it's meaning over the years. once they gave it to the wonderful gov ryan from illinois, i lost all respect for it. this award needs to be put in the hands of the people in the trenches who truly do wonderful work with the people - not the figure heads, imho.

Pfft! Those who dislike him are saying he should have declined because now it makes Obama have to tap-dance around the War on Terror (Which I am pretty certain Obama dislikes don't want)! Now for those who HATE Obama, well come on. What about those who hate Bush, they are always there but they are a small majority. Not to mention, Obama has 1 Allie. The media. They will always says he's perfect, so how can they disagree with him on declining?

Yet Obama only listens to his teleprompter, so what can you do?

Rodger that. No use having a discussion about the value and integrity of the award itself or people expressing their opinion about whether it was awarded to the right person.

Granted, I agree that it's natural for humans to tear down those greater than ourselves, but the whole debate here is whether the award itself is an affirmation of greatness, and if the man is great enough yet to receive the award in question. I don't think this debate has gotten particularly nasty, mean-spirited, or irrational... It's a conversation. You can be brash and abrasive, which can obviously be (and often is) a strength, but sometimes it just serves no constructive purpose.

I still say I should have received the award. I've done numerous things to help procure and maintain peace among the world. For example, look at the staff assemble here. That's enough pudding for proof!

Sorry, I have nothing to contribute to this thread. I know zilch about it and I think those who want to take the time to bash someone who received an award are up there with those who are in PETA and every other cult. Too much time. BUT, that's based from my own ignorance on the subject and means nothing.

It's your opinion, and worth just as much as anybody else's. Abstaining from having an opinion about something is often wiser than having an opinion. 😛

That's good, cuz really, I have no clue what any of this means in this thread. I don't even know what the Brian Noble prize is all about or how many they are or if it's for a offensive or defensive person. NO clue. Do they get a statue or a trophy? I've never heard of the 'nobel pose' or anything.

I'm not bashing Obama for getting the "award". I'm bashing the idiots for giving it to him.
He hasn't done what SHOULD be necessary to get it.

I guess we should give the Detroit Lions a Lombardi Trophy this year, after all, they DID win a game, right? I mean.......they MIGHT do something to earn it SOME day....maybe.....right?
Makes as much sense if you ask me.
Ronald Reagan got the Berlin wall torn down. I didn't see him get an award for peace. I know....he was a "right winger". They don't get awards like that. No matter what they do.
AL Gore....for WHAT again???

beast (5h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (5h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (5h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (6h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (7h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (7h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (7h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (7h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (7h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (7h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (7h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (7h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (8h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (8h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (8h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (8h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (8h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (8h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (8h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (8h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (8h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (8h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (8h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (8h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (9h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (9h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
