Let's talk some Football

What's Michael Vick's chances of stealin one away from the Eagles and their nasty fans on sunday?

Definitely hostile territory.

Temperature forecast for the 6:30PM (EST) kickoff in Pittsburg:

12 degrees!!!​

That pigskin's gonna be pretty slippery for both the QBs....especially Pittsburgh's "rook".

 

Normal for Pitt this time of year. Steelers prefer this weather. Another reason why my money is on them.

 

So what's going to happen tommorow?

Could there be an upset?

Will NE do it again?

Come on u NFL nutcases, what's your predictions!

You know me - I'm rooting for the underdog (Eagles) as usual.

 

Looks like the Superbowl halftime show will be a a little tamer then last years,

No T&A this year. Well T anyway.

Sir Paul, will be at his best.

That's a shame. I enjoy controversy. I just have to make sure my kids are looking elsewhere else during halftime...

 

Hmmmm....Super Bowl XXXIX. I'm so old that I remember Super Bowl I - only it wasn's called that. It was the NFL-AFL Championship Game. 1967...LA Coliseum. Top ticket price was $12. The game did not sell out. There were no wardrobe malfunctions. No one cared about the halftime show/commercials. Imagine that: the game actually mattered!!

Things began to change with Joe Willie Namath & the name Super Bowl in 1969. That SB name was roundly derided @ the time as too pretentious, sounding almost cartoonish.

My, how times have changed....

 

For the record, I'll take the Pats.

 

The game is over, the hype is over, the season is over. I thought some of the commercials were funny. Bring back the marching bands, I miss them. Cheer leaders would have been nice.

All in all thought it was an O.K. game, but I have seen better. Have to admit thought they are two good teams, and I like the idea of no super heroes on either one. Yup New England can rightly call itself a dynasty, but I still miss the teams of old. I stopped routing for pro sports a long time ago, they became to commercial for my liking. I still watch the Super Bowl however and think of the teams of old and when football was not so commercial and the players not so full of themselves, occasionally a team will fall into that category, but less and less these days.

Thanks for the info, Ron. It may be good. Don't know much about him, though. Keeping my fingers crossed!

 

LOl Drew Bledsole sign with the Cowboys. I was flipping through the TV the other night and say the story on the NFL channel. I was so happy to see that the Coyboys sign a little young QB. Do I smell the superbowl this coming season? I think I do.


Go Cowboys.

 

Arguably the best receiver in Football retires....

Thanks for the memories Jerry from a lifelong San Fran fan.

Nobody did it better IMHO.

As a life-long Cowboy fan, it's hard for me to admit this, but I agree.

 

You just HAD to remind me.

 

Are u ready for some football!

Well, i was subjected as usual to watching Buffalo today(whom i can't stand) because of the region i live in.

Final score was not what i hoped....

Buffalo-22

Houston-7

I know of at least one other person here who will not be too happy about it either.

On a happier note, the Saints won so that's great news for obvious reasons.

As for that other Texas team.... last i saw was dead even.

Perhaps the Boys can schedule a game with the Long Horns someday Nah....they might get beat

and a wondeful game it was

 

Now if u could just get some of that to rub off on the Texans.

Good news indeed.

Be careful Bubba not to make too much fun of the Cowboys. Daisey should be around anytime now.

Watched every minute of it. Was on the edge of my seat the last few minutes. What a thriller!
