It bothers me that nobody here

[skinnybutphat]

talks football anymore. Not the gay soccer type either, I mean real football, where men are men and stomp on each other's faces with cleats.

sissies

With my Bears on the verge of glory I'm kind of missing Qdrop's presence. Kind of

[beastiegirrl101]

I didnt think they would pull it off....next week is going to be a nail biter. I'm hoping for crap weather, the Saints arent used to playin in the cold.

[skinnybutphat]

neither is the Bear

[jabumbo]

fuckin patriots

[skinnybutphat]

Schottenhiemer should be fired today.

[Drederick Tatum]

cleats is a fucking gay word.

ah yes, that real man football where they wear 2 feet of protective body armour and have giant helmets to protect their valuable faces....

Don't forget the spandex.

that's why I watch it.

[skinnybutphat]

Are all these premier league championships and what not decided by penalty kicks too?

I tried to enjoy the World Cup. I was very disappointed to see that it decided by penalty kicks. That shit was weak.

[Yeti]

Schottenhiemer should be fired today.


What about the idiot that headbutted the Patriot running back after they had sacked Brady? What about the punt returner that fumbled for the Chargers? What about the defensive back that intercepted the ball and then had the ball stripped? The players made some really dumb mistakes that were not coaching related. You cannot give the Patriots an inch or they will take a foot.

I am rooting for a Indy vs Saints Super Bowl. I want Peyton (Manning that is--not Sean) to get his ring.

nah, no games decided on penaltys in the league. just the cup

twas a poor world cup in the end admittedly. the group stages were great, but it began to die off. final was poor until Zizou tried to put his head through your mans chest.

All very true, going for it on 4th & 11 when your kicker is in his range and he's been perfect from home, not a good decision. Challenging a play that had no chance of being overturned cost them a crucial time out.

I think the Colts will be there, but I would rather see Brady try to juke Urlacher again.

[Yeti]

I just heard that Marty is holding a press conference very soon. Your wish might come true.

GO SAINTS!!!

Rex is going to choke.

[ET]

I think any of my Americano Football talk would be along the lines of "YEAH, NEW ORLEANS GONNA BE EATING BEAR THIS WEEKEND YEAAAAHHHH!!!!" over and over.

And also Nut Numbing Cold + The Saints = lots of fumbles. Let's hope that's not the case.

[DIGI]

GO SAINTS!!!

Rex is going to choke.


I'm afraid I agree. The Saints have way too much offensive firepower and the Bear's D is lookin pretty weak these days.

[DIGI]

I love how people talk smack about the NFL and the like wearing protective gear. They're getting smashed constantly by guys that weight up to nearly 400 lbs, not by some 150 lb dude that looks like he smokes meth for breakfast. I'm not saying soccer isn't violent or whatever but if you had to choose between going up against the nastiest soccer dude and Tank Johnson, I'm thinking you'd choose mr. soccer.

[Loppfessor]

No way the Bears make the Superbowl and if they do they'll get stomped by Indy or NE

The name Tank Johnson alone is scary enough for me :(

[Yeti]

If you need to know more about Tank google his name. He has been in the news for more than football lately. I find it hard to stomach that they would allow him to play.

[skinnybutphat]

The Eagles pissed away so many opportunities to win that game, I'm in no mood to talk football today.


BTW, Is anyone else sick to death of Peyton Manning Commercials?

When Bush got lit up on the 2nd play I thought the Eagles were going to win.
Why did it take 30 seconds to run a play down by 3, with 2:30 left in the game?

I was at the last play-off game against Philly. I'll never forget how obnoxious some of those bastards were tooting their little horns. I was hoping you Eagle fans would come back to Chicago with your little green horns.

[skinnybutphat]

What are you talking about? He's a pillar of the community. Just becasue the cops have to come to a brother's house a couple dozen times doesn't make him a bad dude.

[DipDipDive]

lolololol

I was pretty impressed with Rex's performance yesterday. I'm glad they went up against a team they pretty much raped early in the season, because if they hadn't, I don't know how confident they would've been going into the game.

I'm sorry to say that the fact that 1) the line wasn't protecting Rex from the blitz, and 2) the defense couldn't do shit to stop Shaun Alexander leads me to believe that they won't be making it past that Saints. I don't think it's impossible, but highly unlikely.

lol, yeah Tank Johnson would probably shoot you or something. I agree with the protective shit. Yeah pretty much the majority of NFL players are going to be tougher then Pro Soccer players but thats because you have to be tough in NFL not just fast. I dont know how tough NFL guys would be against some of the NHL guys or even NBA.

[King PSYZ]

Yesterday's Bears game drained me. I really want to see them in the superbowl.

But at the same time, if they don't go to the bowl, I won't be made to feel bad for going to my poker game while my girlfriend's family has a bears superbowl party.

[Whatitis]

The protective gear is why football players can hit the shit out of eachother. Soccer players wouldn't last a second if they started hitting eachother like they do in football. My biggest bitch about soccer is the players act like they lost a limb when they merely get pushed to the ground. Might be part of the game to get injury time or something but it just looks weak.

[hpdrifter]

Man, that was a heartbreaker. I never thought we'd get past the Bears and we were so close.

I was bummed for most of the day. That was a 10am game here.

[ToucanSpam]

I thought about making a football playoffs thread but I figured if I predicted an Indy win (I'm right so far) I would have been heavily criticized.


Anyways, the Eagles looked primed to steal one in N'Orleans but I have a feeling the Saints are the team of destiny this year. Coming up is the toughest challenge of the year with the Bears. If it's crap weather the Bears, who are more used to bad weather conditions (or should be) might have an edge but Rex has looked shakey for weeks. Too late to go with anyone else.

My prediction: Saints by 10

Once again the AFC is down to the fucking Patriots and the Colts. Thank god it wasn't LT....thank god it wasn't LT. The Colts D has been playing way out of character, as has Peyton Manning. That being said, Tom Brady isn't very impressive and I can see this coming down to a fuckin field goal again. I hope it's Viniteri who kicks it.

My prediction: Colts by 3

I'm the first to say Peyton has looked horrible in the playoffs so far, but this game is not going to come down to who's the better QB, it's going to come down to field goals. Being in the RCA Dome, I pray to god those Indy fans are insanely loud and fluster New England. If Brady gets in the zone and they can go up by two possessions, they will kill the clock and the Patriots will get to the Super Bowl, again...

Flyin' Brian Westbrook appears to have been a good choice for fantasy RBs this year. Who knew? I did.

Aha, ahahaha! ROFL. Boys who constantly point out manly things are like puppies barking up the big bad dawg! Prolly gonna be real sad if some Aussie or "gaelic person" points out what a sissy, catholic school girl game american football is.

That's why North Americans don't like real football (soccer). Because a match can end tied. They just can't stand it.

[Otis Driftwood]

Or maybe they don't like it cause they prefer NASCAR, wrestling, American Gladiators and wars. :cool:

[mikizee]

boy, american football sure is a sissy catholic school game, i tell ya

aussie rules, now THATS a man's sport

Don't forget the shoulder pads, reminiscent of 80's women jackets. :D

real football lol
seriously, AFL is the only real football here, and i'm not just being biased. it's got just as much speed as soccer, as much tackling/violence as rugby and try kicking a aussie-rules footy whilst sprinting.

BTW Cricket > Baseball :D

lolololol

I was pretty impressed with Rex's performance yesterday.

Good Rex gives them a better chance than Good Greise. Let's hope Evil Rex doesn’t show up. They got out coached Sunday. Aside from stressing the importance of going after the ball at all costs, I still don't think Lovie is a good coach. I'd take Sean Payton over him all day long.

I wouldn't bet on the game. I can't logically give reasons why the Bear should win. I do know that the Bear can take the ball away better than any team I have ever seen. #54 will be the best player on the field Sunday and I'm hoping he takes over the game like he has before.

He's my pick to click.

Thank god it wasn't LT....thank god it wasn't LT.

I would have been all over you, and wrong. Right now I think the Colts are the most likely to be champion.

Just make sure you keep that Colt love after Manning is gone and they suck again.

I love watching the Chargers, but I'm glad the best team is sitting home. I didn't want any part of LT or Merriman against my team.

[skinnybutphat]

Or maybe they don't like it cause they prefer NASCAR, wrestling, American Gladiators and wars. :cool:

The next NASCAR race I watch will be the 1st one. I am however a huge wrestling, AG, and war fan though. Go Turbo!

Yeah their a lot of face painted mouth-breathers in the states that watch football, there are also some intelligent, good people that enjoy both the psychology and physicality of the game. I was joking about the gay soccer stuff. I respect the athletcism involved, I tried to warm up to it with the last cup, I just didn't find it very compelling.

I'll put Bo Jackson up against any soccer player that has ever played.

I actually like both. I like the fact that in American Football you can hit guys in the air and you don't have to use your arms when you tackle. The added words are pretty cheesy, but this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TYsG5Frv9s) is basically my favourite youtube video.

That was a good video, I forgot about Atwater.

One I know of. I can't remember the cat's name. It was a player from the Lions. It was of course against The Mighty Bear. Legend has it Butkis was standing over him screaming at him to get up. He thought he was faking an injury because the Lions were out of time outs and he was trying to buy them some time. He had a heart attack, probably from seeing Butkis coming at him. I can remember at least 5 guys that have been paralyzed.

[icy manipulator]

yeah i was going to bitch about how american football is soft compared to afl and rugby but everyone's already done that already

[Junker]

I once was in Sao Paulo and heard from a man that a rugby player from the local team had his ear ripped off during a match. True story (y)

[ToucanSpam]

I pray to God that the Saints win because a Bears/Colts game might not end very well, for my part.

[skinnybutphat]

Colts 26
Pats 24

Freeney and Mathis are fast on that turf.



The reocrd for dome teams in a title game on the road outdoors:

0 - 8

Brian Urlacher in Championship games

1 - 0

Soon to be 2 - 0

Bear 27
Saints 20

Look for Alex Brown to get in that backfield to pop Bush and run one in.

Enjoy the games.

[Yeti]

It sounds like the Bears and Saints will be playing in the snow. I love watching football in the snow.

I want Indy to win but for some reason think it will be the Patriots. Indy has won the last 2 so it is bound to swing.

I hate to say it but I predict......

Patriots 24 Indy 17

I really like to watch both teams in the NFC. I have a really hard time rooting for or against anyone in this game.

I predict.....

Bears 17 Saints 7

[beastiegirrl101]

skinny, where you watching the game?

I'm not sure yet. Either Morretti's or at a buddy's house. You?

[beastiegirrl101]

Well, I would love to watch it at a bar, but the reality of that is we'd probably have to get there at 9am to get good seats since everyone will have the same idea. We were thinking Players or Joe's on Weed. EPI is a good place to watch the game, no?

[skinnybutphat]

I've never been to EPI's or Morretti's for a game. I'm looking for something close to the crib with big TVs . We might 7 or 8 people in our crew, want to join us?

[Laver1969]

[ToucanSpam]

I'm heading out to my local pool/pub kind of place to watch the AFC, should be exciting football.


Colts/Bears in Super Bowl seems more a reality now.

sports threads have no longevity in this place, i've learned to accept that.

Reggie Bush has all off season to work on his lil dance steps.

Defense wins championships. Who's got the Winnebago hook-up?

[marsdaddy]

Defense wins championships. Who's got the Winnebago hook-up?Has the top rated QB ever lost the Superbowl to a lower rated QB? Grossman is the Bears' unknown.

Nice pickings SBP. I actually had the Colts and gave up the points. I was sure I'd lost until that last INT.
