The annual BUCC'S WILL BEAT THE EAGLES THREAD

[Dis]

ahh someone has bumped this thread.

I think my post earlier in this thread proves I predicted the Buc would be the Eagles

And I didn't just predict that the Bucs had a chance. I predicted that the Eagles had very little chance of winning that game. The only way the Eagles could have won was if they caused more Buc turnovers.

No there isn't. An orange hat doesn't make you different from the pirate in the silver hat...

Historically, there have been more than one kind of pirate. In your brain, all a full o' prejudices, there might not be.

Look at the two mascots and tell me how they're different. If one team was the 17th Century Privateers and the other was the Modern Day Southeast Asian Pirates, you might have a point. Unfortunately, both of these teams have the same kind of stereotypical Carribean pirate. They're the same...

don't forget the pittsburch pirates.

Right. The Pittsburgh Pirates mascot is no different than the Raiders or the Buccanneers. Same type of pirate.

One's a buccaneer and one's a raider!!!
A raider is more well known for stealing from land based colonies, while buccaneers are focused entirely on stealing dubloons from the galleons!

I'd like to see a team called the Minutemen in the league. That would be a totally new idea. Or how about the Indians? Or the Cowhands? etc...

The Umass Amherst team is called the minutemen.

The Chinese translation for Chicago Bulls is Chicago Male Cows.

China has been airing NBA games so they had to translate them. I can't remember Miami. I think Miami was called the hot fire.

I meant an NFL team called the Indians. That's about as different from the Redskins as the Buccaneers are from the Raiders.

Have the Indians and Braves ever played in the World Series? If so, that could be the first time two teams with the same mascot met in a championship game...
