I listened to people screaming, horns blowing and fire works exploding for a solid two hours after the game last night. And I don’t live even reasonably close to Tampa. I expect to have to listen to some of my neighbors talk about this game on a play-by-play basis for the next several months. I have to say that I thought the Bucs were going to contrive to lose the damn game during the last quarter. ---

Well it is a certainty now: Asshole fans = no superbowl ring Jets, Eagles and Raiders. Their fans’ buffonish behaviors have angered the football gods thus ensuring them no rings. The Eagles will have a nice expensive stadium with nice expensive seats the average Santa booing, injury cheering drunken scumbag will not be able to afford, thus they may in fact win it next year. The Raiders will never ever win one again, while that dirt-bag Al Davis is still alive, as his numerous frivolous lawsuits and sleazy behaviors have angered the football gods mightly. As for the J E T S- no rings for you. In fact, no superbowl appearances for you. Same thing for the Steelers, until Lee “couldn’t cover my grandma” Flowers shuts his big fat no ring havin’ ass up, no ring for you. But, as of late, the football gods have been pleased with the teams which play great team defense and had a history, of well, stinking. The Ravens, Patriots, and Tampa Bay, each league patsies for much of their existence, have been rewarded for their team play with a big fat ring, that the league loudmouths will only get the look at. Next year, maybe Seatle gets off the schide if they make the right sacrifices to the football gods. . . Question-- how much more crap with the Oakland fans have destroyed had they actually won? :rolleyes: ---

Shit like this just ain’t supposed to happen!😛 \*\* If you think this isn’t possible, then you haven’t seen **Wladmir Klitschko** yet. If Lennox wasn’t afraid of him, he’d beat Lennox without breaking a sweat. I’m saying that as someone who thinks Lennox is a great fighter. ---

Am I the only person who is on to ‘Al Davis’? Isn’t it obvious that he is, in actuality, Neil Diamond’s sinister clone on a coke induced bender? And as for the Oakland fans, they are the stuff of legends. Literally. Diodorus writes, in the first century BC, of dwarvish cave-dwelling tribes known as Troglodytes living in lands outside the known world. These tribes went about naked, their diet consisting almost entirely of cattle blood. They would slay the old or infirm, and pelt their dead with stones. While Aristotle retold these accounts as apocryphal, it was Photius who correctly identified Troglodytes as a select group of inhabitants in the bay area of Northern California. Photius provides written record of these peoples painting themselves silver and black while practicing their barbaric rituals, assembling on their feast days in a drunken orgy of violence and vulgarity.
