[popacrobat]

betting against the patriots again?

 

[randhail]

Pittsburgh going 14-2?

 

[DaveC]

betting against the patriots again?

Sure am. They can't win every year. And with Bruschi out (easily the glue that held the D together), they might be vulnerable without the ball.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure their offense will still be powerful as hell, but as it's always said, "defense wins championships".

 

[popacrobat]

you're right, this year they add Chad Brown (to replace bruschi) as well as duane starks and have a nice healthy secondary for once, im sure they'll get a lot worse without troy brown playing cornerback this year.

[speedracer]

Your records add up to 254-258.

I guess you must have picked the Lions to lose to the Frankfurt Galaxy, Memphis Maniax, the Mean Machine, and Orchard Lake Middle School.

Super Bowl - Patriots over Panthers

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure their offense will still be powerful as hell, but as it's always said, "defense wins championships".

True, Bruschi will be missed.

However, we won last year with that patchwork of a secondary, and that looks real strong this year.

And I have to say that I think the Patriots defensive line is one of the best in the entire league, and all of them are under 25.

As for the offense, I think it's going to be the most explosive that it ever has. The only reason I picked them to go 13-3 instead of, say, 15-1, is that the schedule is tough.

[Chizip]

is Philadelphia 13-3 with or without TO?

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

to all you Bear haters.
This will be Sexy Rexy's breakout year I tell you.

 

[phanan]

^

Let's see if he can stay healthy first...

 

[zumanity42]

im sure they'll get a lot worse without troy brown playing cornerback this year.

you're right, after all they got so much worse without Troy Brown last year.

let me see, they lost how many games....i don't remember.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

F !!!!













I need a hug.

 

[popacrobat]

you're right, after all they got so much worse without Troy Brown last year.

let me see, they lost how many games....i don't remember.

um im not quite sure what you mean by that, im a patriots fan.

having troy brown playing corner last year was hardly what i call ideal, having samuel, poole, starks and gay healthy is what i call ideal and obviously an upgrade .

 

[popacrobat]

hey, now we can at least watch former cardinals pitching prospect chad hutchinson sling

 

[zonelistener]

F !!!!













I need a hug.

Looks like yet another year of Viking or Packer dominance in the Black&blue!

 

[phanan]

Wow, I guess I jinxed him...

That's too bad.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Wow, I guess I jinxed him...

That's too bad.

You did!! *sob* Now it's all over. *sniff* I can't handle another season like last season.

I just want to do the SuperBowl Shuffle again. Is that so much to ask??

Is it?




Now I won't have a reason to sing the fight song either.

 

[zonelistener]

Skol Vikings

Skol Vikings, let's win this game.
Skol Vikings, honor your name.
Go get that first down, then get a touchdown.
Rock 'em, sock 'em, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!
Go Vikings, run out the score, you'll hear us yell for more!
V-I-K-I-N-G-S, Skol Vikings, let's go!

 

[Snowlock]

to all you Bear haters.
This will be Sexy Rexy's breakout year I tell you.

LOL!!! It certainly is!! Oh the irony. I love it!

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

^ It's no Bear Down, Chicago Bears.

 

[phanan]

You did!! *sob* Now it's all over. *sniff* I can't handle another season like last season.

I just want to do the SuperBowl Shuffle again. Is that so much to ask??

Is it?




Now I won't have a reason to sing the fight song either.

Hopefully he'll only be out for about three months so he can at least come back this year and salvage part of the season.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

LOL!!! It certainly is!! Oh the irony. I love it!

 

[Snowlock]

Yeah, I'm sorry... Well, I would be if you weren't in our division

Love the purple now. We will welcome you with open arms.

Chorus
We are the Bears Shufflin' Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you.
We're so bad we know we're good.
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff for everyone.
We're not here to start not trouble.
We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.
Walter Payton
Well, they call me Sweetness,
And I like to dance.
Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance.
We've had the goal since training camp
To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ.
And we're not doin' this
Because we're greedy.
The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy.
We didn't come here to look for trouble,
We just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.
Willie Gault
This is Speedy Willie, and I'm world class.
I like runnin' but i love to get the pass.
I practice all day and dance all night,
I got to get ready for the Sunday fight.
Now I'm as smooth as a chocolate swirl,
I dance a little funky, so watch me girl.
There's not one here that does it like me,
My Super Bowl Shuffle will set you free.
Mike Singletary
I'm Samurai Mike I stop'em cold.
Part of the defense, big and bold,
I've been jammin' for quite a while,
Doin' what's right and settin' the style,
Give me a chance, I'll rock you good,
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood.
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came to do The Super Bowl Shuffle
(Repeat Chorus)
Jim McMahon
I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon.
When I hit the turf, I've got no plan.
I just throw my body all over the field.
I can't dance, but I can throw the pill.
I motivate the cats, I like to tease.
I play so cool, I aim to please.
That's why you all got here on the double
To catch me doin' the Super Bowl Shuffle.
Otis Wilson
I'm mama's boy Otis, one of a kind.
The ladies all love me
For my body and my mind.
I'm slick on the floor as I can be
But ain't no sucker gonna get past me.
Some guys are jealous
Of my style and class,
That's why some end up on their -,
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just get down to The Super Bowl Shuffle.
Steve Fuller
They say Jimbo is our man.
If Jimmy can't do it, I sure can.
This is Steve, and it's no wonder
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder.
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas,
This is for Mike and Papa Bear Halas.
I'm not here to feather his ruffle,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.
Mike Richardson
I'm L.A. Mike, and I play it cool.
They don't sneak by me 'cause I'm no fool.
I fly on the field and get on down.
Everybody knows I don't mess around.
I can break'em, shake'em,
Any time of day.
I like to steal it and make 'em pay,
So please don't cry to beat my hustle
'Cause I'm just here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.
(Repeat Chorus)
Richard Dent
The sackman's comin', I'm your man Dent.
if the quarterback's slow,
He's gonna get bent.
We stop the run, we stop the pass,
I like to dump guys on their -.
We love to play for the world's best fans,
You better start makin'
Your Super Bowl plans.
But don't get ready or go to any trouble
Unless you practice
The Super Bowl Shuffle.
Gary Fencik
It's Gary here, and I'm Mr.Clean.
They call me "hit man,"
Don't know what they mean.
They throw it long and watch me run,
I'm on my man, one-on-one.
Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone,
That's why they call us the 46 zone.
Come on everybody let's scream and yell,
We're goin' to do the Shuffle,
Then ring your bell.
William Perry
You're lookin' at the Fridge,
I'm the rookie.
I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.
You've seen me hit, you've seen me run,
When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun.
I can dance, you will see
The others, they all learn from me.
I don't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.
(Repeat Chorus)
