Post by: Mark Luper on February 02, 2007, 07:00:04 PM: 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.

"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

Post by: lasersailor184 on February 02, 2007, 07:29:25 PM: 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.

Post by: Ripsnort on February 02, 2007, 11:17:38 PM: 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

Post by: FiLtH on February 03, 2007, 12:24:40 AM: 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 !!!

Post by: Sixpence on February 03, 2007, 12:40:27 AM: 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:)
