Subject: RE: BS: NFL 2007 R u ready for some football? From: Becca72 Date: 07 Sep 07 - 04:57 PM A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents." Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!" |

I am not saying they "cheer opponents", but they don't "boo" good play by oppenents the way some do here in NA. I am just surprised that there are 90,000 plus in the stadium in the first place. I did find it humourous that a world famous musician was shown on the screen applauding play and the announcers did not pick up on it. The had no idea WHO he was, fer Pete's sake! |

Subject: RE: BS: NFL 2007 R u ready for some football? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Oct 07 - 09:47 AM I think gnu's putting a slightly rosy image on the good sporting nature of English football crowds, when it's a team they care about playing. They don't come more partisan than a local Derby. But of course with that NFL thing I imagine there'd be no reason for many of the locals in the crowd to have any preference either way. They put the highlights on TV after Match of the Day, but I couldn't raise the interest to watch more than a couple of minutes. That body armour and the Star Trek helmets... (Now if they put a big baseball match on at Lords or the Oval it might be a different matter. I'd be more likely to watch that than Cricket.) |

Subject: RE: BS: NFL 2007 R u ready for some football? From: PoppaGator Date: 29 Oct 07 - 03:21 PM It's been a very difficult month or more for me to be a sports fan, given my various allegiances: New York Mets (since my youth in New Jersey), Notre Dame (my alma mater), and the New Orleans Saints (irratonally and universallly beloved heroes of my adopted hometown). I've adjusted. Baseball is over, so I can quit fretting about the Mets. The current edition of the Fighting Irish is so hopelessly inept that I've already given up on them; as far as I'm concerned, their current season might just as well be over, too. With no expectations, I can't be disappointed (not, at least, until next year). So, I've written off two of my three teams. The good news for me and my homies is that, after a terrible start, THE SAINTS ARE BACK! The offense has regained its 2006 form, so inexplicably absent for the first four weeks, and the defense is better than ever. The NFC South title is well within reach, and thus the playoffs; there's still hope for topping last year's season, which ended with a loss in the NFC title game. This time, maybe the Saints will progress one game further into the postseason, and earn the right to play sacrificial lamb to the Pats or Colts in that big roman-numeral game... |

Subject: RE: BS: NFL 2007 R u ready for some football? From: PoppaGator Date: 05 Nov 07 - 03:24 PM Rapaire ~ can you make those letters any smaller? Notre Dame has a long history of close association with the service academies. Until the 1970s, they shared the disctinction of being among the last surviving all-male post-secondary schools, and there has always been a feeling among these institutions that they share a common dedication to discipline and values-orientation. The Army-Notre Dame rivalry was very important years ago, because it was through those games that Notre Dame first established itself in the national consicousness. But the university's relationship with the US Navy ~ and, by extension, with the Naval Academy ~ became closer and even more important during World War II, when the university provided classroom space and housing for huge Naval training programs. Since then, Notre Dame and Navy have met on the football field every year, while at the same time the Irish have played both Army and the Air Force Academy fairly regularly, but not annually. While Navy had not (until this past weekend) won a single one of those annually meetings since Roger Staubach was an undergrad back in the early 1960s, they seemed always to put up a good fight, even an occasionally serious scare, before being finally overpowered sometime late in each year's game. None of the three services academies is ever likely to attract any high-school athletes who feel they have a serious chance at striking it rich in professional fottbal, or indeed any pro sport. While they lack any such "blue-chip" players, the academies do enroll plenty of good athletes with highly positive "intangibles," e.g., very strong work ethics. I didn't watch the game (was driving all day at the time), but I certainly saw the highlights Saturday night. Notre Dame would probably have pulled out a last-minute win to extend that ridiculous winning streak were it not for an absolutely incredible individual effort by a blitzing Navy defender who leapt into the air and flew over the heads of a couple of ND blockers to sack the quarterback. I've never seen anything like it, probably never will, and can only congratulate the kid and his teammates, all of whom undoubtedly performed at their very best, literally as well as metaphorically "over their heads." And also, oh by the way, how 'bout them Saints? |

Or, say, Eli, and he wins over Tom? And gets some good commercials... not the cheesey crap like Payton. Oh... true... I didn't mention whatshisname that plays for the team that has to do with horses... horses who bray like asses. Or is it horses? The team logo has nothing to do with horses. It's a lightening bolt.
