I know a lot of people like Pro football.

I don't. Why waste my time watching a bunch of spoiled drugged yahoos spoil what was once a great game to watch?

They are all about themselves, there is no more real team effort. Not on the field or off the field.

I feel sorry for youngsters today, they don't know what it's like to see real men play the game.

There are exceptions, but most of those players are'nt worth supporting with my dollars or my time.

Yea...They are spoiled......Like Andy Reed benching his star WR.  And Jeremy Shockey having a broken finger bone that was puncturing out of the skin snipped off so he could play...or LT and his touchdown dance, which happens to be the same as Barry Sanders....Hand the ball to the ref.

Professional team sports are businesses, that's all. There is no shared connection to a community or emotional reason for anyone to "support" or feel pride in a sports team any more than there is to "support" and feel proud of your local Walmart.

"I'm so proud that our local Walmart had the highest quarterly profit in their division! I just love this team and it shows what a great city and community we are," he said as tears welled up in his eyes, running down his face and onto his mock Walmart uniform. :D

I used to be emotionally involved with the Eagles.  But Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb and Jeffrey Laurie suck so bad that they've ruined any and all hope for me for the eagles.


The only time I started watching games was when the POS McNabb went out for the season.  It's dissapointing because next season he'll be back.

I hate both teams, but I hate the Bears worse because they have a suck QB. So, I'm going to have to cheer on the Colts. :cry

Luper, the Pats are a pretty close example to team play rather than just a couple stars.

  I would like to see teams make up of players from the city or region its from though.

  Hehe Go Walmart Store #781 !!!

Well, it just isn't an attractive matchup. Now, I also said this when the Rams played the Titans, and that ended up being a great game, well, a great second half anyway.

As much as I wanted the Titans to score, it would have lost me money. I A&R'd the Titans and the under. If they score it goes over and I lose, the spread was a push which turned the under into a flat bet winning me a little cash:)

Cheering for the Colts this year.  Grossman puts me to sleep.  If I were a bears fan I'd groan every time he went under center.
