View Full Version : Who's ready for some football?
misspriss 08-12-2009, 06:08 AM I've recently found that we have some Eagles and dolphin fans along with some other unmentionables :eek: - what other teams are some of guys rooting for?
Please no one say Cowboys or I can't talk to you. .... j/k :D
Saints and Patriots fan here. :)
rock28 08-12-2009, 06:24 AM Eagles fan here

nyc2vegas 08-12-2009, 06:26 AM First and foremost Green Bay and then Seattle
so youre clearly a holmgren guy!!!
rock28 08-12-2009, 06:31 AM I can respect the giants and redskins but when it comes to the cowgirls i just want to see them lose everygame.
Addicted2SinCity 08-12-2009, 06:34 AM patriots...my man brady is back in action!
rock28 08-12-2009, 06:37 AM patriots...my man brady is back in action!
Im sorry for last year. I picked him with my 1st pick in my fantasy draft last year. Every year my #1 pick has a bad year or gets injured.
Addicted2SinCity 08-12-2009, 06:40 AM Im sorry for last year. I picked him with my 1st pick in my fantasy draft last year. Every year my #1 pick has a bad year or gets injured.
yeah i mean obviously last year was not what i hoped it would be, but if one good thing came out of it, at least cassel got to show off his talent. i think he did one hell of a good job and i am glad he doesn't haven't to sit on the bench anymore, because clearly he has the talent to be a starting QB.
rock28 08-12-2009, 06:47 AM Its crazy how good he could be. He was a backup in college then in the pros. Just unlucky to always be backing up the best players in the league.
nyc2vegas 08-12-2009, 06:51 AM Its crazy how good he could be. He was a backup in college then in the pros. Just unlucky to always be backing up the best players in the league.
yes but this year will be the tell all year!! since he was a backup in college and then in the league there was not one shred of gametape on him, now every defensive coach has plenty of tape to breakdown in addtion to playing for a genius like belichick caused him to appear to be a stud......we will see what happens this year on a horrific team with a first year coach, and like I said plenty of gametape for opposing teams!

you make some good points there. i never considered the gametape angle...and yes, belichick is def a genius.
rock28 08-12-2009, 07:11 AM yea hes in trouble this year
misspriss 08-12-2009, 07:12 AM you make some good points there. i never considered the gametape angle...and yes, belichick is def a genius.
Belichick is the reason I still love the Pats- he's a genius. And I'm happy that Tom Brady is back and looking good to play. Let's make sure to tell whoever put him for fantasy football last season to not do that...maybe it was a jinx. :D
Addicted2SinCity 08-12-2009, 07:16 AM tomorrow night can't come fast enough...even though it's only preseason i am so so excited!

Just when I thought nyc was going to be nice....I will be in my Pats jersey cheering them on with my Dad and then I'll rotate to my saints jersey.
Thanks Cash- I'm glad you can deal with me.
misspriss 08-12-2009, 07:36 AM Since we got nfl out of the way- what about college teams?

I will say this.....that team is not the only team who have "done stuff like that". So everyone just needs to get over it and move on. They weren't the awesome team they were because of vids. :)

Hook em' Horns! I know born in Boston, raised in Texas- I have random teams that I like. I went to college there so that says enough.

I dont mind the hornbags....I actually like colt mccoy ever since I read the story about the life he saved on the lake.....and they beat our archrival USC which consoles me :)
misspriss 08-12-2009, 07:53 AM I didnt ask for any stories, the question was did they cheat??? hahahahaha
My answer is this everyone does it so why can't we? Now shut it.
I usually cheer for whoever I think is going to win. :D

Got some great draft picks...Jay Cutler...Urlacher seems healthy enough...plus I'm in LOVE with our punter - life is good! :D

I just dont know if the U has any right to call FSU the criminoles!! hahaha
Keebler 08-12-2009, 08:09 AM been a rough go keebs.....you def need this trip!
You have no idea. At leats the Dolphins turned around that horrible 1-15 season to go 11-5 last year, but the Seminoles are just not what they used to be. I remember the days they used to put up 60 points like it was nothing and blow everyone out of the water. Watching what the Gaytors are doing now hurts even more.
Keebler...the Criminoles?!?!?!?!?! :D J/K had some buddies that went to U. of Miami and thats the only way they would refer to the Seminoles.
Yeah yeah i hear that a lot, lol. I have a large hatred for U of Miami fans, but more for UF Fans. I hope they all rot in hell.
misspriss 08-12-2009, 08:16 AM so if everyone jumps off the bridge (wait do you have them in texas?) are you jumping off too????? j/k lol :D
LOL yes we have bridges in Texas a few in Austin and no we don't jump off them unless there is a cord on the other end. ;)
BarrelO 08-12-2009, 08:22 AM I usually cheer for whoever I think is going to win. :D
I'd probably do the same thing if my only other option was rooting for the Texans.

i haven't followed college football in many years, but when i did Penn State was my team too.
KC2Vegas 08-12-2009, 08:30 AM Even though matt cassel is damn good he just dosent have a good team around him. Chiefs suck its hard being a chiefs fan in this town. I go to the games but just to see the other teams. Most of my friends are not chiefs fans neither thats sad.
rock28 08-12-2009, 08:35 AM KC always gets respect for their fans. I am surprised to hear that. They even have a Kansas City Cheifs bar in Philadelphia
Cisco419 08-12-2009, 08:37 AM Been a Chargers fan as long as I can remember!
Bears...Bears...Bears!!!!
KC2Vegas 08-12-2009, 08:38 AM KC always gets respect for their fans. I am surprised to hear that. They even have a Kansas City Cheifs bar in Philadelphia
Most of the older people are chiefs fans but when your at the game you see alot of the other team jerseys.
Kc chiefs bar in philly thats crazy

Well the interesting part was they cheated and took down the superbowl again and again.... then when they got caught cheating they decided to go on this huge winning streak and sure enough... EPIC failure at the superbowl!!!

Come on if it wasn't for one lucky catch they would have won that game!
nyc2vegas 08-12-2009, 08:42 AM Come on if it wasn't for one lucky catch they would have won that game!

i didn't hate that SB loss as much as I should have...because I managed to win $400 on the game...only thing that saved me from weeks of depression.
BUT THEY DIDNT :D....yeah and if they would have scored more points they would have won too :D
Yes that is all true but they still had the greatest season of all-time and have to be the best TEAM of all-time.
KC2Vegas 08-12-2009, 08:44 AM BUT THEY DIDNT :D....yeah and if they would have scored more points they would have won too :D
you sound like john madden
the team with the most points at the end of the game wins:p
Cisco419 08-12-2009, 08:44 AM BUT THEY DIDNT :D....yeah and if they would have scored more points they would have won too :D
Exactly!!! That was one of the only times I was a different teams fan instead of the Chargers!!! Only cause I really dont like the Pats!
One of the guys going with me to vegas is a chargers fan
You hang with good people!!! :D
Cisco419 08-12-2009, 08:45 AM Yes that is all true but they still had the greatest season of all-time and have to be the best TEAM of all-time.
That is true but they also had the most EPIC failure of all time!!! Which is why Brady got "injured" lol

"if they get in the end-zone here, they'll get 6 points"....going to miss the guy!

Agree about NYC and the Red Sox.....it hurts doesn't it nyc?
Trunks 08-12-2009, 08:55 AM YES it was and in fact it was the same season we BEAT YOU in the superbowl.....and yes I have a mouse in my pocket in case youre wondering! :D
yeah yeah, enjoy your win, you'll still be talkin about it in 10 years because it'll be your most recent title. especially with that overpaid qb, he's got no receivers and we all know how awesome manning is without a go to guy. brady already proved he can win with nobodies. our team this year is lookin good.
BarrelO 08-12-2009, 08:56 AM No team that employed Rodney Harrison has any business taking cheap shots at another team for steroids.
Also, if you did not win the Super Bowl, you are not the greatest team of all time, nor did you have the greatest season of all time. This should be so obvious that I'm kind of surprised that I have to explain it.

I just think that before consideration was given to the pats the dolphins were considered the greatest team and then the Pats lost so theres no logical way they could be considered the best team! but thats my opinion, theres really no science to determine the greatest team, but I dont know if a team can hold the title even tho they didnt win the SB that year!
misspriss 08-12-2009, 09:01 AM well what does that say about the yankees if they got beat by a bunch of blind squirrels????

And of course the good ole, "How many rings you got?" bs... it's all good! We dont have any yet! But I'm still a fan for life just like you Redsox fans were cheering your team on before they actually took anything down! But this is our year!!! Oh yeah and he wasnt roided out! lol

BarrelO 08-12-2009, 09:37 AM Or maybe the 72 Dolphins? I give credit to all the great teams, but no one else went undefeated.
They definitely belong on the short list of great teams, and I feel like they don't get the credit they deserve (so many people talk about how overrated they are that they've become overrated, IMO). But they played an incredibly soft schedule, and they weren't as dominant in the playoffs as the other teams. In fact, I think the case could be made that the 1973 Dolphins were better than the 1972 team.

This is true, but comparing teams on a scale over the years is almost impossible. Obviously im biased. Especially when it was the Dolphins who ruined the Bears perfect season in the 80's :D
Or maybe the 72 Dolphins? I give credit to all the great teams, but no one else went undefeated.
The Dolphins played one of the easiest schedules in modern NFL history...the opposition had a combined winning percentage under .400. Also the Dolphins had problems in the playoffs.... beat the Steelers in the AFC title game by only four points, 21-17 and were underdogs going into the Super Bowl against the Redskins, who they defeated 14-7. Undefeated underdogs? Best Team of all-time?

Ive always said that any team going undefeated on any level is an extroadinary feat....I dont care of it is NCAA vs. high school teams, if you continue to bring your A game week in and week out your a great team. Im sure we can find teams that have have weaker schedules than they did and obviously did not go undefeated.....like I said earlier opinions will vary but the have to be in the discussion

Agreed....just dont see how the 85 Bears (and I'm a HUGE Bears fan) are always seen as the best team ever but they lost a game and the Pats did the same (yes it was in the Superbowl)...but they had a more impressive season then the Bears did in 85.
nyc2vegas 08-12-2009, 10:05 AM I just think the biggest game of a season is the SB, and if you cant win the biggest game of the season then people in general will not include you in the greatest team discussion, I think that if they would have lost to the Gmen the last game of the season and then beat them in the superbowl its a completely different situation.....not saying its right or wrong just saying thats the way people tend to view it

Yep...just like people never include certain players on the "Greatest of All-time" list just because they never won a title.
BarrelO 08-12-2009, 10:13 AM The Dolphins played one of the easiest schedules in modern NFL history...the opposition had a combined winning percentage under .400. Also the Dolphins had problems in the playoffs.... beat the Steelers in the AFC title game by only four points, 21-17 and were underdogs going into the Super Bowl against the Redskins, who they defeated 14-7. Undefeated underdogs? Best Team of all-time?
Yes, they had a weak schedule. But they played almost the entire season with a 38-year-old backup quarterback (Earl Morrall). When the 2008 Pats were in a similar situation (creampuff schdule, backup QB), they didn't even make the playoffs. And the Super Bowl wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated. The Redskins made it past midfield only four times the entire game. If Garo Yepremian hadn't decided to be a retard, the Dolphins would have been the only team to pitch a shutout in the Super Bowl.

It's simple. The Bears were more dominant when it mattered. They absolutely destroyed every team they faced in the playoffs that year. By comparison, the Jaguars and Chargers both put up a pretty good fight against the Pats, and the Giants beat them.

Keebler 08-12-2009, 11:59 AM Yep...just like people never include certain players on the "Greatest of All-time" list just because they never won a title.
I think that list is a little different though because in a team sport like football no one person can carry a team the whole season. Basketball is different because you can have a guy like Wade, Kobe, or LeBron, and they can carry a team all the way into the playoffs by themselves, but in football are you going to fault Marino for never winning a SB because he had no running game and a crappy defense the entire time he was in Miami? What about Barry Sanders? I know he quit in his prime but he is still one of the greatest backs to ever run the ball and the Lions hardly sniffed the playoffs.

Keebler 08-13-2009, 06:08 AM It was a bad situation and it sucks the most for the Broncos. Cutler is going to be a great QB for years to come in this league and the Broncos were still in the quest for the "next" Elway. Im not saying Cutler will be Elway, but they gave up their franchise QB that could have developed into something really special.

blibblab 08-13-2009, 07:40 PM Here's what I wrote to a friend last week who sent me a petition to have Vick banned from the NFL:
---
What's funny is that Leonard Little killed a person while DUI and only got 90 nights of work release before heading back to the NFL... and then got arrested six years later again for DUI and again, the next season went back to the NFL [and got a Pro Bowl nod]
Also Ray Lewis plead down a murder charge to just an obstruction of justice charge in exchange for ratting out his two accomplices & friends in the stabbing to death of two people.
Add to that Donte Stallworth, just this past year, killed a man while DUI and only got a pathetic 30-days in jail. NFL's still wavering on whether or not to let him back in. [Edit: NFL just suspended him for a year]
The National Football League is a pathetic excuse when it comes to enforcement & standards. However, they sort of got the Vick situation right - but moreso because the state of corrections forced their hand. I think what Vick did was horrible, but at least he served a stiff sentence and has been stripped of pretty much all his valuables as well as any chance of being held in any regard among the fans & his peers. Whether he's sorrowful or not, I can't say, but the man has paid his dues unlike the jokes of the past in the league who have outright murdered people.
So... I can't say that I'd support a ban when the man has done his time in the system, his name will forever be marred - gone from a potential Hall of Fame'r to a sideshow who may not be able to play a whole year or be up to the standards of playing his profession again.
-----
That said, I'll see what he does and says - I believe the man has paid his dues and has a right to reconstruct his life.

I have to agree. He could of made a circus out the courts, like most celebrities do. He admitted his guilt, and served his time. I dont agree with what he did, but If I was gonna put some energy into bashing someone, it would be some of those that have taken HUMAN life.

Not at all, in fact I pretty much despise the Donkey's. My team is the Packers(can't believe we lost to the Bungals) and any team playing the Donkey's.

Thats a good man :D Yea Jennings didn't even play from what I heard...sorry to hear that...
I saw Ocho Cinco do the lambeau leap...
hotforvegas 09-21-2009, 07:45 PM another good game tonight. Pulling for the 'phins
Keebler 09-22-2009, 07:44 AM Got home from the game last night in a major state of depression. I dont understand how the Dolphins can lose a game where they held the ball for 45 mins, and have almost 250 rushing yards. Man our defense was non existent last night.

As long as you guys can get the ball to Gates you guys will kill us. We have already proven that our LB's and Safeties cant guard tight ends. Weve already been torched by Tony Gonzales and Dallas Clark in the first 2 weeks.

That last play by Harrington was awful, throwing into double (triple?) coverage when the WR on the left side was wide open. Shame cause I always like seeing the Mannings lose...

Bluebear 09-22-2009, 09:21 PM Don't know if there is such a thing as football overload, there is always room for more. Football is the only was I get over the depression of summer ending, I'm not a huge fan of the cold. Hey Blue, you a TCU fan?
I have taken an interest in the Mountain West conference, How TCU was lumped in that conference I don't know... However, I think that the Mountain West is really being overlooked in the bigger picture and there could be some real "bowl-Busters in there.
RNS MR T 09-24-2009, 12:11 AM Packers are the team I root for. It was hard sitting there ( at Lambeau) and watching them lose to the Bengals. At least my beer was cold.

I agree. I think the Mountain West has some real good teams in it. I personally hate the way college football is set up right now, from the bowl system (they need a playoff) and also the preseason rankings. I believe there shouldnt be any rankings until after week 4, then you can see who should be ranked where based on results from this years games, not made up BS from last year and recruiting and people opinions. Rankeds are supposed to be based on RESULTS, too bad people dont vote that way.
NoCo81 09-24-2009, 07:57 AM Mountain West really is turning into one of those conferences where it is going to be difficult to go undeafeated in conference play let alone non-conference now that they are scheduling the likes of Oklahoma and others. This will probably start leaving the MWC on the outside looking in even though they have BCS worthy teams. I despise rankings, most are opinion based. Champions are crowned on the field not by a vote in some poll. Oh, by the way I'm a CSU alumn so Go Rams.
NoCo81 09-24-2009, 07:58 AM Packers are the team I root for. It was hard sitting there ( at Lambeau) and watching them lose to the Bengals. At least my beer was cold.

I think it was all in good fun which is what football should be. I'm sick of the push toward the No Fun League rules and excessive celebration flags. Bring back the Icky Shuffle, Dirty Bird, Bob and Weave and the original high fiving Fun Bunch.

I read that the "bengals fans" that were in the stands were plants so that he could stage where he made his leap.

Bluebear 09-27-2009, 07:55 AM SoCal, any predictions on Carson Palmer and the Bengals today?
Cisco419 09-27-2009, 11:19 AM So I had my tickets sold to my bro's friends... then he got a text this morning saying that her grandma had a heart attack and she wasnt going to make the game. Cant really blame her but now I have to try and get rid of the tickets for less or say screw it and head to the game...
Pros and cons..... Pros: It's my Chargers and the tickets are fucken kick ass!!! Cons: Due to my ticket I cant really afford to go
What to do?!?
SoCal Girl 09-27-2009, 11:25 AM SoCal, any predictions on Carson Palmer and the Bengals today?
It is a divided house here today. My husband thinks the Steelers are going to win and I say my Bengals will win. (of course). When I type out the "Steelers" spell check gives me an error so see even spell check is a Bengals fan. :D I have always liked the Bengals ever since my dad would let me bet in his football pool. However I don't know enough to talk with you guys about the games. Now basketball I do know and with only 1 day left till spring training starts I think a thread should be made for basketball.

Hey, go ahead and go, the ticket won't be going anywhere, deal with it later. it is football after all :D
Bluebear 09-27-2009, 02:29 PM Not looking too good for the Bengals, but it is only the first half so far. Hoops? Are you a pro fan or College fan, or both?

I'm sorry you were saying? 14 seconds to go and
Palmer throws a 4 yard TD to win the game. :D
Glad I didn't bet you anything I was sweating there for a minute.
Basketball: Pro for this house....Lakers what can I say. Looking forward to watching Artest this year. However I like to watch Howard too....why? Well lets not forget I'm a girl :D
Saw Kobe once in person he was nice. People wouldn't leave him and his family alone. Kept taking pictures and calling his name. I was too shocked that it was really him so no pictures for me....can't stand his wife.
And you pro or college?
Bluebear 09-27-2009, 04:42 PM Uh, Yeah, well uh... what can I say the bengals have been looking likr they are close for a few seasons and I guess now they are starting to pull that together. As a Steelers fan all I can say is that I hope Polamalu returns soon, their defense misses him.
As far as the NBA goes, I am a Mavs fan. I have been into college hoops for a few years and I am a Tarheels fan all the way!

Cisco419 09-27-2009, 05:37 PM So I ended up selling a pair but ended up keeping the other pair. It was a kick ass game for sure!!! My voice is kinda gone right now! I'll post up some pics when I get home.
Keebler, it was a good game but we finally got the win against you guys! It felt awesome!!!
Next week we got Steelers, that's gonna be a hard game but if we can pull thru with the win then I think it will be a killer season for us!

they have to go thru boston first, we will play the winner of angels/boston....whcih is good they will beat up on each other

When you're getting beat by the Lions, you know something's amiss. Do NFL owners come any worse than Dan Snyder??
My 49ers lost a heartbreaker in Minnesota. I wish Favre would retire already....

royale 09-27-2009, 10:49 PM Hey Royale how about those broncos wow they look like all stars today.
When its 3 n out on every offensive drive, you are bound to get the ball back and do something "lucky" with it.

At least Snyder spends the money to try and bring in free agents. The problem is the people he brings in are the wrong people. If he has someone help him with player selection then they could be good. Hes just not a good judge of talent.... but spends the money.

I felt bad when they had like 50 mill layed out on the grass. Haynesworth cost too much... too big of a risk in my opinion.

Agreed. If you look at the past he didnt have a dominant year until his contract year. Coincidence? I think not. These guys play hard, but theres no doubt they turn it up a notch when they need to know where their next pay check is coming from. So now that hes got $100 million + guaranteed he can sit back on his ass.

Yea seriously.. I bet when they looked at the schedule at the begining of the season they thought, St Louis and Detroit back to back..that was easy money lol

Oakland should call 99% running plays when going up against that swiss cheese of a run defense Sunday (plus I've got McFadden on my team :))
nyc2vegas 09-29-2009, 02:09 PM Oakland should call 99% running plays when going up against that swiss cheese of a run defense Sunday (plus I've got McFadden on my team :))
the good ole self interest gameplan!
they should be calling 100% run plays with russel as their qb. his best play should be the qb draw.
royale 09-29-2009, 04:14 PM Oakland should call 99% running plays when going up against that swiss cheese of a run defense Sunday (plus I've got McFadden on my team :))
I put him in too.. maybe this week he will get some huge yardage and his first 100 yr game. Just don't let Bush get any touches lol
royale 09-29-2009, 04:15 PM they should be calling 100% run plays with russel as their qb. his best play should be the qb draw.
I think they might give Gadowksi some serious looks if he continues this struggle. He's having issues passing a simple dump off play.
I put him in too.. maybe this week he will get some huge yardage and his first 100 yr game. Just don't let Bush get any touches lol
haha, i picked up bush in my league cause i'm just waiting for the inevitable mcfadden injury. of course fargas will probably be back by the time that happens.
so think they'll pick up garcia again now that he's available and looking much better as the starting qb? lol.

haha, the cowboys game should be a little tougher for them and their lucky 3-0 record based on the soft teams that they played.
then again my team has only played 1 team with a winning record and we lost that one and barely beat the raiders thanks to a td that was taken away by mistake. anyway, though it pains me to say it, go cowboys!
- jealous chargers fan
CoolWhipz1 10-01-2009, 01:31 PM I know I know. Ha. That's why I said I was hoping. We'll see how it turns out, I'm excited for the game though, lots of rowdy fans is always a good time.

hey royale why don't you play qb for your team they need one bad. He has to be the worst qb in the league.
