*Can someone sticky this?

Well, so far we can say that the Eagle's offense is the suck. I can't stand Andy Reid. No team has ever won with two starting QBs, but somehow he is arrogant enough to think he can make it work. What result have we gotten so far? Garbage.

This season will be a complete mess. I'm shocked that actually ended up being a close game. Thank goodness Mike Vick actually got me excited. What a weird game. Andy Reid will be fired pretty soon I think. Total mess.

Done.

Anyways, I don't really pay attention to the NFL. I'm a CFL fan all the way, despite how terrible my team is doing right now.

That said, I'm always pulling for the Seahawks, Broncos and the 49ers.

Who were you pulling for in today's 49ers vs. Seahawks game?

Also, damn the Eagles sucked. I guess their defense was all right, considering they were up against the high powered Green Bay Packers offense, and they did get two interceptions on Rodgers. Kolb looked really lost out there though, and the receivers just weren't getting open. Where were the short routes and the screen plays? Also, it looks like Weaver is out for the season, and possibly Jamal Jackson, and then Bradley and Kolb both had concussions. Just a bad game overall, with a strange exciting finish. Too bad they didn't win, but I didn't expect them to anyway.

Is NFL baseball or American football?

If it comes down to something like that, I always go for proximity. So it would be the Seahawks. So I'm pretty glad they crushed San Fran.

I only like the 49ers because my brother was really into them (from the Montana days) and his love of them brushed off on me as a kid, before I started liking my own team (Broncos). Then I realized if I was to ever go to a game, it would be in Seattle, so I've been paying more attention to them than other teams in the last 5+ years.

On a side note, why haven't we created a Gametavern fantasy league yet?

That way you'll never be confused when we talk about American professional sports.

Ah thanks.

The Germanator · 09-15-2010, 02:59 PM

I'll add

MLS : Major League Soccer

But...nobody cares about that one. I actually would love to go to a Philadelphia Union game one of these days. It's apparently cheap and pretty fun. Not sure how I feel about going to Chester though. That place is a dump.

Hell, come on, man.
I love Soccer.
I'm ridiculously excited for the Whitecaps to finally be in the MLS next year.
Although it'll be different, because for once the games won't be held at the Stadium they've played every game - as far as I know - in.

I'm also excited that Seattle is in the MLS. Because the Vancouver-Seattle rivalry was always the best.

I remember when I was little, me and my dad would go to games at Swanguard, and there'd be Seattle fans on the opposite side of the field (typically), and a few of them would get up and bang drums and chant "Soun-ders", and all the Vancouver fans would yell "Suck".

The glory of sport.

I actually started to type MLS, but then I decided it wasn't really as major of a sport here yet. It's still kind of on par with the minor league sports, I feel.

As for the Union..I went to the game vs. FC Dallas when they were still playing at the Linc due to the new stadium not being ready yet. It is in Chester, which does suck, but I'm sure they have plenty of security around it that it's safe. The Commodore Barry Bridge in the background is a good touch.

Oh yeah, this topic is about football. So did anyone else notice how hardly any teams really stood out in Week 1? It seems like every teams is kind of rusty.

The Germanator · 09-21-2010, 09:15 PM

Soooo...

Michael Vick has been named the Eagles starter for the rest of the year. This season has been hilarious already. And yes, it has me even more excited for the McNabb Bowl next weekend in Philly. Should be a fun time.

ZebraRampage · 10-03-2010, 07:29 PM

And now Vick is injured. There isn't any information about the injury, but it didn't look like fun. The Eagles defense sucked in the first half and they couldn't stop the run all game. The offense just shot itself in the foot with stupid penalties and that one fumble. I'm just glad I didn't have high expectations for this team at the beginning of the season.
