NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - Off Season

[duke o' york]

In British football (soccer), you can either have the team from your place of birth/where you grew up, or either of your parents' teams.

There are simply no other options.

Picking other teams (eg, abroad) is not subject to any rules. For example, when I was a kid the Durham cricket team were the nearest to Newcastle but they were a minor county at the time so I picked Leicestershire for no good reason. But when Durham achieved full county status, I couldn't change my support (maybe a strong term, because I'm not too worried about national cricket, only international).

Having read that, I'm even more keen on the Eagles as my bye-week team.

Donegeal - Chicago (Southern Wisconsin - Beloit?)

That sihthole Beloit always gets mentioned before my hometown Janesville because it is more equadisdant from Madison and Rockford. Hell, Janesville is nearly twice it's size and is the county seat. Beloit is just where most of the criminalsl come from. And I am a Bears fan because... well because my dad was a Bear fan, but I keep telling people that Janesville is closer to Chicago than to Green Bay.

Oops, touched a nerve. I acknowledge that Beloit is a pit.

I'll change that listing, officer.

Also, someone's a Redskin fan. DanS?

Me.

[Al B. Sure!]

Me.

You're not supposed to admit to it!

Congratulations to Guy. We're going 0-3 today, that's just the way my day is going.

Hope springs eternal.

Well Favre is already at 6 interceptions this season, one short of last season's total.

I want that guy from Arkansas U to replace him (or Eli Manning, but that won't happen). Is he anywhere near finishing college yet? If not, how often are players drafted mid-education?

We may be leading by 4 now, but it won't last.

We need Rice back, and if not that then I have the ideal WR to take those important catches. Favre loves to throw longer than the current side are letting him, and there's only one guy for the job:

Tampa are getting stuffed.

Somebody please tell me that Vanden Bosch is wearing red contacts, and that is his eyes aren't really that colour.

Favre is now a mediocre QB at best. A couple sources have stated that he's second-guessing his decision to come back. Kinda warms my heart.

[Al B. Sure!]

The Giants are being so stupid. How many personal foul calls can a team have in a game?

[duke o' york]

Well, we won in the end, although we barely deserved to.

Favre really has to go, and the sooner we have a viable replacement the better.

One of the most ineffectual 347-yd passing days ever, too.

Ok, rules whinge.

If the offense get a flag, why the heck should they get to replay the same down? They should be forced to swallow the penalty in terms of yards, and forfeit that down.
