VIKES!!! VIKES!!! VIKES!!! VIKES!!! I was a vikings fan even back in 1984 when they won only 3 games under Les Steckle. C’mon! You gotta stick with your team! Sure, no Super Bowl win but I atleast will get to see them stomp the crap out of the cheeseheads twice this year! (always my favorite) ---

I’m not talking about individual incompetence, or mistakes on plays; I’m talking about the drudgery of year after year of being told that we’re going to have the best team ever, that this year we’ll get back to the Bowl, and then watching us stumble and fumble and screw up… > \*\* Feh. Look at my Raiders! I’ve been the fan of fans, I’ve seen them up, and I’ve seen them **REAL** down. Either way, at least I’m **Still** a hardcore fan, even if they are losers(although it looks to be a decent season so far). Better than being a 49er fan 😃 -Sam ---

If you had built what you have now, he would still be there. I think we’re both better off now, so why not let it go? Oh, yes, the city of Cleveland is _soooooo_ much better off after: –spending nearly $300 million in public money on the Gateway complex, which is now insolvent, oh and by the way neither the Cleveland Indians nor the Cleveland Cavaliers have ever actually paid a cent in rent; –spending nearly $400 million in public money on Browns Stadium, the keys to which were promptly handed over to the team’s billionaire owner, who gets to keep all the parking and concession revenue; –oh, and did I mention that all those properties are tax-abated? Yeah, what a great deal for a city with some of the worst schools in the country. Whoopee. ---

Guys and Gals, sorry for the Hijack, but I think its appropriate.you can all help me here. I want an NFL team to support. I’m fairly up on how to play, and I can follow a game. We get coverage of the NFL over here, albeit highlights. My brother has been a Cowboys fan for about 15 years. He’s pretty big into NFL. NFL is the one sport where I have to bow down to his superior knowledge. Now here’s the deal. convert me to your team and I promise to learn everything about the team that I can. Yes, I am open to bribes. Especially from Falcon 😉 ---

I will merely hit you with logic… You are from Ireland. I am of Irish decent, and in fact, when your country (the country of my heritage) was dealing with massive famine, many of our brothers and sisters (and my great grandparents) fled there to find a better place. They came to America. When they did, they had to come right through the greatest city of all - New York City. An overwhelming majority of them stayed in this fine city, layting foundations for the greatest football fans in the world - New York Giants fans. Be proud of your heritage, artist-formerly-known-as John, as I am of mine. Go Big Blue! * * * Yer pal, Satan - Commissioner, [The Teeming Minions](http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/full/show?lid=39428&page=leaguehome) \*I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR: Five months, one week, two days, 13 hours, 53 minutes and 7 seconds. 6503 cigarettes not smoked, saving $812.89.

_blushes_ Especially from me??? Well then! You need to root for the Redskins, hon! We’re cool, have a long history, you could get into rivalry fights with your brother… And as for bribes…well now, we have money, or we have…favors I could grant you. Perhaps we should discuss this, hmmm? 😉 ---

RezDog - Yeah, yeah. The Lions stink on ice. Their offensive coordinator is so unimaginative, he makes Bo Schembechler look like that-whiny-guy-who-coaches-Florida-whose-name-escapes-me. I do so hate it when the team that the national sports media has collectively decided to smootch ass and anoint with a championship actually does well. Your QB is still rather Dilfer-like. Can he throw a pass longer than 10 yards? That fecking offensive line, however. You can’t get to the mediocre S.O.B.! And, when you finally do and you give him a little love tap, the referees (noses firmly embedded in the Buccaneers’ asses) throw a flag for roughing the passer. Better team won, but you might not want to set up those photo shoots with the Lombardi trophy just yet. (Despite whatever Peter King – the biggest front-running, ass-kissing media dink around – is going to write about them in SI this week. I saw him talking to Sapp after the game.) It must be great to root for a team like the Buccaneers, that’s so easy to like. :rolleyes: ---
