The Redman Thing Has Gone Far Enough...

but they are some funny jokes

I’M NOT ANOINTING HIM TO THE HALL OF FAME OR EVEN A FUTURE STARTER BUT HE’S WORKED HARD AND PROVEN THAT HE DESERVES TO BE ON AN NFL ROSTER.

IF MENDENHALL GOES DOWN HE;LL BE ABLE TO PICK UP SOME THE SLACK..

unless it ultimately takes away from the thoughtful discussion that has been the trademark of BTSC. for example, we can’t just use the word “Redman” to win an argument, or, conversely, to discount what someone is trying to say. i’m with you on that, NYSteelersFan4.

on the other hand, i like the humor of it, and don’t want to see it stop. i think it’s especially fun to have our own black and gold version of the chuck norris jokes, or the most interesting man in the world jokes. i personally like them and hope they don’t stop, as long as it doesn’t disrupt the thorough and thoughtful discourse of this awesome spot on the interwebs.

those are just my two cents.

HA HA J/K like most things when it is used inappropriately or too much, it does lose some of it’s punch. I’m still for using it, but like agentorange was saying, use it appropriately and not just cause you have nothing else to say.

I say it’s fine as long as people don’t actually think he’s going to turn our running game around.

give me a Redman poll option or give me death!!! lol

most folks new here would catch on pretty quickly.

And after all, Redman’s sheer awesomeness was recognized some 80+ years before he was even born, when they named a chewing tobacco after – oops, make that before – him!

what Redman thinks when he reads these….not says he’s a regular BTSC’er, but theres been enough about him that someone, a brother, a cousin, a friend, someone HAS to have said “yo Isaac, you gotta come read this”

last summer, back when I was plain old englishsteeler and Redman Fever as it is now known was in full swing. The epidemic helped me make a name for myself, by mocking those hysterical fans along with some of the more cough respected BTSC members. So all you Redman fanatics I say thankyou, for giving me reason to comment and become an active member of BTSC. That is not forgetting a shout out to the creator of all this, Isaac “Redzone” Redman!

Peace out homies!

In Redman we Trust

He checks under the bed for REDMAN!

Enter the Redman….Heinz Field is already under contract to play it when Redman steps onto the field

You win. Forever.

I, too, enjoy the humor of it all. It’s sort of our own running (not-so)inside joke. I don’t think I’ve actually voted “Redman” in any recent polls, but I do get a chuckle each time I see it. I might have actually voted for it on this one had it been offered, just for my own pleasure.

However, I also feel that too many have used it in place of thoughtful discourse. If we could see less of such behavior, I say it is harmless fun for all.

If Redman is too difficult for newbies to grasp, perhaps we should add a Redman chapter to the welcome guide and make it mandatory reading.

Duece Staley?

i think its been beat to fucking death and anyone who throws it around as a “solve-all” for punchlines just makes themselves look moronic, imho.

I don’t see the problem. A Steelers RB does well in short yardage situations, and Steeler fans get excited, and some joy out of it. It’s a positive thing to comment about.

Personally I get a bit tired of the TWS/HS comments, but it is just people enjoying themselves. That is why this blog has so many members, it’s enjoyable.

I’d much rather have Redman jokes, instead of Ben comments for the next four weeks.

no seriously, I agree with you NYSF4. It was funny, then got hilarious, and now is as good as beaten to death. The same jokes start to appear over and over, any serious discussion about him actually contributing gets destroyed, and it’s just about gone far enough. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a clever new Redman joke every now and then, and God knows we have enough creative people on here to keep coming up with those. But Please, let go of the cookie-cutter +Redman, +33 jokes!

Like you said, he is a member of the team now, we need him to contribute (who else is a potential 3 down backup?), and it’s simply not that funny anymore. Thanks NYSF4 for actually writing it on here!

… one little nuance here folks.

What if he’ll play very bad in the first games of regular season?

all these innocent jokes will turn into insults… I promise you.

So, with sugar on top pretty please, do not overedman guys. :)

I hope he’ll do very fine so that this FUN of ours will continue for the next decade.

1. Redman blows everyone out of the water and they (the jokes) will continue as long as he is awesome.
2. He has a mediocre year in and the jokes slowly die out.
3. He sucks it up and suddenly they aren’t so funny anymore.

Whichever way we are only a few weeks from an outcome and I for one say Keep em Coming.

There have been some great ones just the past couple days… like the Scrabble one and the staring at the sun one.

If we had called off the Redman comments we wouldn’t have had some great material.

Hes no Joke.

Gotta say that it started out funny as hell, and then it got a bit tedious when it started up again this year. Then the Most interesting post came up and that renewed my interest in it. Now it seems like we are over run with people making comments about Redman, too much of a good thing and all that.

To whoever said about him possibly finding out, I don’t think he would care. He is living his dream here, playing football professionally. I would doubt that he cares what a bunch of over opinionated idiots like us say about him. It’s not as if we insult him or anything.

p.s. No offense on the over opinionated idiots bit, but in all fairness, it’s what I describe myself as. You know I love all BTSC members.

It’s all about timing and nuance. This particular line of humor is no different.

Ya know who never goes too far with his Isaac Redman comments? Isaac Redman.

No lies, I loved the “Isaac Redman is the most interesting RB” thread, and commented a few and loved some other peoples ones, but its seriously going over the top lately

I mean we laughed around with LeCharles Bentley, TJ Duckett in the past, and yes, an OCCASIONAL well timed Bentley/Duckett reference still goes down well, but this Redman shit is getting ridiculous to the point where EVERY SINGLE THREAD gets hijacked (or at least partially) by Redman jokes.

The odd ones are still funny, but trying to put him in every fuckin thread just to try be funny is getting stupid.

Sorry, just my 2 cents.

This post is why I was a Redman fan before being a Redman fan was cool. LAST YEAR!

Haters step off. its all funny now aint it!!?

Well it isnt TOTALLY funny to me (altho i have a sense of humor about shit) But allotta Yall gotta not speak about Redman .

I gotta ALOT of shit from some people for saying last year he was Hardcore.

Now Go root your ass off for him while I STILL try to find a Jerzey (may go custom)

Thats rite. say Redmans name

 One thing that makes BTSC enjoyable, not to mention real, is the combination of serious sports discussion and “pee-the-pants” humor. In one sweep of the blog, namely this blog post, BTSC is dangerously close to being one more example of the boring, extra starch in the shirt, Ronald Reagan having sex, European white-man trying to play funk music, falsely creative, mono-taste form of expression that actually has no real value or impact what-so-ever.

Sad.

This post is 100% bullsh*t.

And, by the way, anyone worth their salt on BTSC knows that Redman doesn’t wear underwear because Zeus couldn’t figure out a way to create a version of cotton that didn’t disintegrate when it came into contact with a Titan’s junk.

I think it’s funny and it kind of symbolizes your average fan. There’s always some player on some team in some sport who the fans think should be contributing more than he actually is.

it’s how fans initially reacted to Willie Parker before he became a starter. Once he broke into the starting lineup AND after Jerome retired, suddenly, Fast Willie couldn’t run up the middle and they wanted a Bus-type of back to take his place.

They are funny. The Redman all day all the time will fade away (hopefully) before the jokes get tired.

At least until Mendy fumbles and Redman runs for a game winning TD against the Ravens when Mendy is benched.

Then it’ll start all over again.

…and I think we all know who that is…

Redman can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

I think I’ve got it figured out why NYSteelersFan4 posted this. NYSteelersFan4 is really Chuck Norris and he’s just upset because he can’t compete. :-)
