Sam Keller: Ruining the Game I Love

by Juco All-American on May 8, 2009 11:00 AM EDT

Former Nebraska QB Sam Keller, you aren't just bad at football.

You are now bad at being a reasonable person.

First of all, it's not all that important to me whether the NCAA allows the name or likeness of a player to be used for commercial purposes, but it CERTAINLY isn't important to me that the NCAA stops EA Sports from creating players who mirror current players but don't have their names.

You say you're not seeking compensation. Sure. I guess that after being cut by the Los Angeles Avengers of the AFL having never attempted a pass, you're raking in the dough. You filed the lawsuit just because you wanted to help people for the common good. I assume you won't accept any of the money if, for some odd reason, you win your case.

But more than that, fie on you Sam Keller. I enjoy being able to play NCAA with Jevan Snead as my quarterback. If you've done something to screw that up, I will come to your next speaking engagement and not applaud. No sir. I will sit on my hands.

That type of harsh punishment is what you deserve.

Quit being such a whining baby. Keller filed a CLASS ACTION against EA. You do know what that means, don’t you? The lawsuit is to protect ALL collegiate players against predatory companies like EA who make millions off the likenesses of sports, but are too damned greedy to pay them for it.

I suppose you are quite happy that Jevan Snead is also being screwed while EA happily rake in money from video gamers like you.

I suppose Jim Brown also sucks because he is suing EA for exactly the same thing. Right?

Get over it. The man is doing something for ALL collegiate athletes, and your whine is petty and childish.

Jevan Snead

is going to college for free.

Because of college football, he will make millions of dollars.

I don’t think he’s being screwed.

Sam… is that you?

If you honestly believe that Sam Keller is a noble person who is only doing this for the greater good

then you’re a fucking idiot.

Take a picture, trick.

Won’t someone PLEASE think of the college football players! Oh the humanity!

Also, if you don’t think they love playing themselves in video games, then you are a moron. Bruce Hall told me once that he could beat anyone in the nation with himself at quarterback – and that he games all night.

Well…You never saw Sweetness bitching and moaning about petty shit.

Get over it. The man is doing something for ALL collegiate athletes, and your whine is petty and childish.

Indeed. Its a little self-deprecatory and humorous for a 20 something guy to write a post that will be viewed by thousands of people wherein he talks about his love of a video game. We’re talking about video games. Get off your fucking soap box for two seconds or either go murder the fun at some other site.

Also, why is “hate” all lower case but “Whiners” is not?
