    I am ashamed of living in the same area as such a sucky NFL team God, Jesus!

    It's like when I was growing up in a different area with another sucky NFL team who I dearly loved the Browns

    May all the dung heaps of Maladomini rain down upon their heads

    That's too bad... the Lions over here in BC are on top of the CFL at 9-0. I don't follow the sport at all, but it's got the media's attention and I can't help but notice it.

    Lucky. At least you *have* a professional team where you are. Lions, Pistons, Tigers and Redwings - Iowa has nothing.

    Neither does Chicago....

    The newspapers were talking about the wild card race before the all-star break. Da' Bears...yeah, right. Chicago disowned the Sox in 1918.

    I don't understand the fuzz with USA football, I mean it isn't even played with feet!

    Nonetheless it could be worse you could have no Team. If you ask me Hockey is THE sport.

    Keep the faith. I think the Detroit running backs and Wide Recievers are pretty good. The QB and defense scare me :)

    Go Pats

    So long as the Lions suck, the Packers will look good in comparison, no matter how bad they screw up the team. :rolleyes:

    @Snook:
    Don't you mean "Go Pack"? :p

    I'm assuming you saw the preseason game between the Pack and the Pats. If I was a Packer fan I would be worried.

    @Snook:
    Yeah I saw it, and it only goes to prove my theory that the Packers have been systematically weeding out the good players since Holmgren left. I'm not so much worried as I am saddened that they would intentionally deprive Favre of his last chance at another Superbowl ring by surrounding him with incompetants. And the worst part is: noone seems to notice! They attribute the Packers' failings to Favre's "decline" when it's really the other way around.

    How long has Favre been playing pro anyway? Five, six years? Way too long. :rolleyes: How silly of him to want a career out of this. :p

    More like 13 years. IIRC, the Packers picked him up from the Falcons in '92.

    Favre NEVER played for the bucs. He was a third-stringer for the Falcons before the Packers noticed his greatness.

    If he's still first string, he must be doing something right. I'm not much into (American) football anymore - late 80s is when I started doing erm, 'other' things. ;)

    Minnesota's gonna take everyone in that division to the cleaners. Then lose in the first round of the playoffs to the wild card team.

    Check our Favre on the web -- Atlanta for the first year, Green Bay thereafter. You may be thinking of Steve Young who came from the Bucs before playing in San Francisco.

    I'm sad to say I have to agree with that. The Packers were the only competition in the league for the Vikings last year, but now that the new GM has crippled the offensive line, Favre's going to have an even hard time making his usual magic. Plus, we gave the only great player we had in the secondary (Darren Sharper) directly to our best competition (Minnesota)!
