NFL 2007 Part 4

Ok, they had a segment on Today about healthy Super Bowl food.

Um, I have a question... Such a thing exists?

 

[KBRY]

The Giants defense has done a great job on Tampa, Dallas and Green Bay, all on the road.

Eli limiting his mistakes has enabled the offense to do just enough to win those games.

IF the Giants D comes up with a great game on Sunday, I think they can keep it close.

Somehow, I think the Pats D gets to Eli and we see a 14+ point win for New England.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

A for effort!

If I speak up, I might be called Mr. prycklistener.

so that's how you roll

 

[Sicy]

Do you guys usually start a seperate thread for the Superbowl? (fine with me)

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I would have nothing to add to it except "Go Giants" "that commercial was stupid/cool" and "wow, Tom Petty is fugly" but that's a decent idea.

Super Bowl

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Guess that's that.

 

[Butterscotch]

A true Eagles fan would never root for a New York team.

(I'm looking at you, Dave.)

Dave is from Nova Scotia, so perhaps he chose which teams to root for and against for reasons other than locality. A lot of people do that.

My bro told me In my little nephew's daycare they have two boxes for "Souper Bowl" can collections for the poor. Each can put in each box is a vote for that team to win. The Giants box is overflowing onto the floor, and the Patriots box is less than half full-

and they live in Redskins territory. The Redskins are rivals of the Giants too. Looks like people are rooting for the Giants not because they really want the Giants so much as that they DO NOT want the Patriots. A lot of people really do dislike them, Bellicheck, Moss, Brady especially, and do not want to see them get a perfect season.

 

[BoMac]

Guess that's that.

Yeah, Headache really hates it when people write Superbowl as one word.

 

[phanan]

This one is probably going to hit 1,000 posts during the Super Bowl anyway, so we should just do a new one now.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Yeah, Headache really hates it when people write Superbowl as one word.

Oh, ya rite.




Two words, people.

I'm a little slow on the uptake today. But at least I know it's two words. (Sorry, sis. )

 

[phanan]

I think April should start our Super Bowl thread, since she knows it is two words.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I am so smart, s-m-r-t. I mean s-m-a-r-t.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Sweet, the Bills will be playing a cumulative eight regular season/exhibition games in Toronto starting next year and continuing for the next five years. One a year, for the regular season ones.

 

[DaveC]

A true Eagles fan would never root for a New York team.

(I'm looking at you, Dave.)

If I lived in Philly, I would probably agree with you.

But if you lived here, you'd be rooting for the Patriots bandwagon to explode, too. If they win, I won't ever stop hearing it from the 48,208 retards here in Halifax who've paid attention to the team beginning in November but act like they've been following the team since they were 3, and talk trash like it, too.

I hate the Giants, I really do. But everyone and their dog on this forum knows how much I hate the Patriots, and it's more than the Giants. My Pats hatred is personal, whereas my Giants hatred is simply a sports rivalry. Gotta go with the (slightly) lesser of two evils.

I honestly thought after Championship weekend that I would not pick a team at all, and root for a good game regardless of who wins. But there is no physically possible way that I can NOT root against the Patriots going 19-0. I cannot bring myself to accept that result, and thus I must follow my spirit.

Now, if it was Dallas-New England, it would be a different story.

 

[Sicy]

Yeah, Headache really hates it when people write Superbowl as one word.

Ok thanks for pointing that out because I had NO idea what the angry face was for

Excellent. Less far to travel to see them lose. Great stuff. :longsufferingfan:

Ah, you beat me to it.

Yesterday, Sen. Arlen Specter stated that he plans to summon NFL commissioner Roger Goodell before Congress to explain why he destroyed tapes that showed the Patriots stealing defensive signals over the last two years.

That REALLY does not sound very good for the Patriots. At all.

 

[mikal]

even though i'm still upset about the Pack losing to the Giants, i'll still cheer for them. there's no way i want the Cheatriots going 19-0, though i think pretty soon we'll be putting a good ole "*" next to all of their Super Bowl seasons.

 

[phanan]

Please.

 

[phanan]

That REALLY does not sound very good for the Patriots. At all.

Goodell said yesterday that there were six tapes. Some from the 2007 preseason, and some from the end of 2006. How does that change things? They didn't win anything in 2006, and the camera was confiscated in the first quarter of the Jets game this year and determined by the NFL to have no effect on the game itself.



As for the story regarding the Rams, I'll believe it when there is proof, but according to the NFL, all the tapes were confiscated and there weren't any others. How exactly would a former employee have tapes, if there were any? Belichick certainly would have kept them himself, I would imagine.

 

[speedracer]

So a Patriots tape guy allegedly filmed a Rams practice that was open to the press, and either the guy lugging around a huge videocamera was never noticed in an empty stadium, or was noticed but never was asked to identify himself. Furthermore, this just happened to be the first Super Bowl after 9/11, when security precautions were at an all-time high. And we are to believe that this Rams practice contained highly sensitive information that directly allowed the Patriots to beat the Rams the next day.

Yes, that makes complete sense.

 

[randhail]

This attempt at creating a shitstorm days before the Super Bowl, will probably ensure that the Giants get absolutely crushed tomorrow.

 

[MrBrau1]

yep, and lots more * talk.

 

[LemonMelon]

They didn't win anything in 2006

Does that matter?

 

[randhail]

Echoing what speedracer said about taping the Rams, what could they have possibly gotten from videotaping them the day before the game? It was a walkthrough practice. Hardly anything happens at a walk through practice and it's not like there was any big surprise as to what the Rams were going to do.

Who cares what they got out of it? What matters is the legality of taping the opposing team's practices.

 

[No spoken words]

Randhail's point might be more about doubting the validity of the story. Along the lines of why would the Pats record something like a walkthrough in the first place.

I'll believe this when there's some actual proof, and we know who the "source" is. Then I'll figure out if I even care about it.

 

[randhail]

Exactly, I have my doubts about the validity of these stories. It seems awfully strange for this all to be happening hours before the game - especially for a matter that was considered "closed" by the league. For all we know the so called source regarding the Rams story could be Chizip - who's been know to support some conspriracy theories regarding that game.
