Good one! (Y)

hmm, maybe the humor is lost in the different use of words. I am guessing "Takeaways" is like fast food? Also assuming you are saying players are fat because of the amount of Fast Food (Takeaway) they have?

Ugh... Thank God I read the joke first, you would have ruined it! :D

Takeaway is essentially fast food "to go".

So you order and take it right with you.

Some of you are taking it way too seriously! :laugh:

That's what I was thinking...

Don't try to force truth in every joke... You miss out a lot of good laughs that do no harm! ;)

Failthread.

Hardly a fail just because you didn't get it.

A lot of the players aren't even fat to begin with.

And... BJ Raji is because his job is basically to be a brick wall that blocks the opposing team.

He is very good at his job

So.... Some are....?

You may call them "Fat"

However most of them do more activities than most people....

Admit it....

How often do you run and tackle people? Plus train on the field or weight lift?

And a "Take Away" is usually referred to the amount of turnovers due to a fumble (and in the case you posted above that meant Green Bay took the ball away from the other teams 38 times during a season) and can also refer to a call being reversed (rarely is called a take away) Though I have seen it being called for example-- after a touchdown is given but then is taken back due to penalty...

Has nothing to do with food or being fat....

Oh and FYI

When a linebacker breaks through a defensive line it is OK to call it a drive-thu

    • This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming
    • Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
