not a football fan, but being from Philly, i can definitely say that the Eagles will screw it up once more, like last year & all the other years they made it/almost made it to the Super Bowl.... your predictions may be right on the money after all :nod: ....

Count me in as one of those women! :laugh:

David, I'm a long-suffering Chiefs fan and was a little surprised to see you pick us as actually WINNING a post-season game! I've been so busy this summer that I haven't had a lot of time to pay much attention to football yet. Having said that, I plan to veg out on the couch tomorrow afternoon and watch the Chiefs vs. the Jets.

Ugh - what a nightmare.

I HATE...HATE...HATE Football.

I hate it.

But I'm aware that my reasons for hating it are pretty irrational....three of the biggest assholes on this planet (that I am related to) LOVE Football...hence...I just despise it....

Do you remember when Lin Elliot missed 3 field goals in that playoff game against the Colts a few years ago?

:laugh:

:eek: :( ;) Well, I'm a huge Eagles fan. I LOVE the Eagles, so you can imagine what I think of the Cowboys. :laugh:

I like the Eagles & the Colts in the Super Bowl, but only if the Colts get home field advantage over the Patriots. The Colts can't beat New England in the cold weather. Of course, I want the Eagles to finally win the whole thing.

Uh yeah, I remember that unfortunately. I was at the game. It was literally about -10 out, I had a bad cold and I had to watch that crap. It is NOT one of the favorite memories of my lifetime. :laugh:

I love the Eagles. They had some good tunes, and a long career. I like that new song "No More Cloudy Days" from their live DVD.

The Colts? Not too familiar with them...but I do like Colt 45. Now THAT's some class right there.

You know, I dont know if you're old enough to remember, but the Cheifs got their only super bowl win against my Vikings. :( :mad: Oh well, somebody's gotta be the Super Bowl's Biatch's. He we may have lost 4 super bowls without winning any, but at least we didnt lose 4 in a row like the Bills!! I'm not sure if I wanna hang my hat on that as Viking fan, but oh well. :o

Uh yes David, I DO remember, as that Super Bowl victory was on January 11, 1970, which was my birthday--coolest birthday present EVER! And yes, I'm old. Ugh. I HATED the Vikings then, HATED them. But not so much anymore. I am still a certified Raider Hater though. :)

My Bills are off to a good start with our young stud of a QB J.P. Losman. :nod: I don't have false hopes of getting anywhere this year since he's just starting out, but maybe in another year or two. He looked damn good considering he has very little NFL experience. And he's cute too. :p

Btw, have you seen the video highlights from that super bowl where Hank Stram(God rest his soul) is talking about the Vikings defense and says "They're running around like it's a Chinese fire drill!!"

pro football fan (I am still a St.Louis Rams/New Orleans Saints/New York Jets/ Pittsburgh Steelers/Tennessee Titans & especially the Kansas City Chiefs fan!) but the NFL (bka No Fun League) has become rather stale...

So I pay more attention to college football instead (Diehard Okla St Cowboys & USC Trojans fan...USC, Didnt they play on 'some' band's song and video back in 1980? I think the 'song' was called "Tusk"...Cant remember the band though)

I remember the Colts almost made the super bowl that year. In the championship game they were behind 20-16, and on the last play of the game, Jim Harbaugh the quarterback heaved into the end zone and the Colts Reciever almost caught it. I was really rooting for the COlts then, cause they wouldve been the first 9-7, last wild card tem to make the big game. And of course the Steelers somehow avoided the championship game choke that time, which is unfortunate because I like Bill Cowher.

It's been a long time since I've seen that, but yes I remember it. Hank Stram was coolness. I loved him.

Good? GOOD? How about AWESOME. I'm sure they'll disappoint me later, but that was mind-blowing yesterday. Oh, yay for that big fat goose egg we almost had!

I was JUST talking about Lin Elliott the other day. Wondering where he lives, because I STILL want to kick the **** out of the man.

Having been disappointed so many times I didn't want to use superlatives! But I will agree, they DID look awesome.

I meant to mention, did you guys watch the Pats opening game? Ozzy was a surprise musical guest. I probably already mentioned this. But it was just so cool, he did Crazy Train just before the team came out. He was in a giant helmet. He looked really happy and actually pretty healthy too.

Ozzy was a surprise musical guest.. He looked really happy and actually pretty healthy too.

total sellout would make one happy (That and the facelift he admitted too :eek: )

Sad, Used to be a big Ozzy fan, Now I wished he would go find a rock to crawl under...But make sure his wife is buried first.

Well, apparently the Eagles aren't ready for some football! :nod: I'm not panicking quite yet though; we've still got 15 more games to go. We'll get it together (I hope).

E - A - G - L - E - S - EAGLES!

He has become somewhat of a self-parody but it doesn't erase his very impressive career.

that's Sharon's job...Ask anyone after her unprofessionalism at the last OzzFest show on August 20th in San Bernardino towards Iron Maiden.

She thought having her daughter and members of their inner circle throw eggs at the members of Maiden was nothing "to cry over" but cutting the bands power twice during their set was unprofessional as anyone can be (If she had a problem with Bruce Dickinson she should have just cut his mike, NOT the whole band while they played)...Having Ozzy's bodyguard record a tape of him starting an "Ozzy" chant and have it played loudly over the PA while during Maiden's encore break was and is unexcusible.

She was sounded and rightly booed off the stage when she came out to state why she did this after Maiden's set...Thinking the fans would take her side since the festival was named after Ozzy, WRONG!!!! Any respect I had for Sharon Osbourne ended that night...She has single handedly destroyed his street rep, And in metal that is the #1 sin (Right Metallica???)

That's heinous. If she had a beef with them that wasn't the way to handle it. What was her problem?
