Originally posted by Toxic Um... no. Incase you haven't noticed (which you haven't; I haven't said anything about my reasoning behind my hating New England as of yet), that's not the reason I hate or do not like the Pats. I hate them because I'm so sick of them (I didn't always hate the Pats; infact, I used to like them, but like I said, I've grown so sick of them as of late). I also hate them because I find their fans to be, in general, rather obnoxious (note "in general", though Philly fans are definately worse). Who bad mouths Peyton Manning on his way to the field? I know he didn't have a good game, but still. Someone who puts up back-to-back 30-40 TD seasons (okay, he actually put up 29 the year before, that's close enough) and not even reached his 30's yet obviously doesn't suck (and nor does a team who's won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years; when I say the Pats "suck", I DON'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!! "Suck" has 2 meanings: "suck" as in you just plain don't like them and "suck" as in they're a team with a losing record, in other words, "bites" or "blows"). Granted, I'm not the biggest Patriots fan out there, but I must say I definately have more respect for a winningest team who EARNS their championships (like the Pats) than teams who always fuggin' BUY championships, like the Yankees in the MLB and the Red Wings in the NHL. Teams like that piss me off.  Also let's not forget the Lakers in the NBA back in the day. The NBA only has a player cap, which isn't really a cap at all if you think about it. Sure it provides limitations to how much money players can make in a season, but it doesn't "prevent" teams from stacking their roster with talent and "buying" championships. If anything, it just leaves MORE room for talent, but let's not get into the NBA in an NFL thread.As for the Yankees, I hate them, too, but not for the reason you named. For the most part, I could care less who they're rivals with, though that may be part of the reason (just because I hate one Boston/Boston area sports team doesn't mean I hate them all; I like the Red Sox). The main reason is because they're a team that's built entirely on sticking their noses in some fat pay check. They do more spending than playing! Not every team in the league has large stacks of money growing out of their asses for Christ's sake. I HATE teams who do that... oh, wait, I think I said that already.

And I laugh in the face of everyone who thought the Pats would cover the spread.  The Pats deserved the win although I was really pulling for the Eagles... they made too many mistakes near the end though. (Two interceptions and wasting way too much clock time on their TD run.) |

| Dammit. Why couldn't the Eagles kick a few field goals, or at least get a safety otherwise? And the Pats should've tacked on one more figgie. (Full disclosure: In today's Record-Journal, I predicted the final score would be 27-23, Patriots.) And this wasn't a very inspiring matchup for me. Tired of the Pats and everyone carrying on about their TEAMWORK and SELFLESSNESS and... gimme at least ONE star with some sizzle. However, I am contractually obligated (as a Giants fan) to loathe the Iggles, and the Red Sox comparisons didn't help. (Bahstin went 86 years between titles and they weren't cursed. Jim Kelly's Bills lost four straight. Were they cursed? Nah, just chokers/overmatched. So you, Philly, and your three straight losses in the NFC title game, do not a curse make. You're not even the Braves of the NFC East. You're just another team.) |

| Why would he give up the TD? - There was still enough time for Philly to get the ball back if they used timeouts and held the Pats, which they did. - Philly could have ended up winning the onside kick after the TD, which would have given them good field position and two timeouts. To purposely give up a TD when the game was not out of reach would be insane. |

| i dunno, i heard one of the commentators say that... yeah, philly's time management must have left the building after they went down by 10 because if they used no-huddle, they probably would have scored with more time left. interesting statistic for a dynasty (if you call the patriots that)--in their 3 super bowl victories, they've won by an average margin of less than a TD. Compare that to the other dynasties of 49ers, Cowboys, and Stellers who won by more than 10 points on average. although I really don't like TO, you have to give him props for what he was able to do yesterday |

| 1) Yeah, a lot of Pats fans are fucking obnoxious, but I don't really care about Peyton. 2) I can't get sick of them, because they're my home team 3) The rest we're in agreement about. |

| TO was fine yesterday. He wasn't the reason that Philly lost... he wasn't 100% but he was putting in as much effort as he could. Of course, in class today I overheard people bitching about the game being fixed because they had bet on the Pats to cover the spread. XD |

game being fixed?  how could a football game be fixed? If the game was fixed I don't think T.O. would go for that. Anyways, i don't think that is possible. Although a German Soccer game was fixed but the referees were paid though. What would the referees do here? There is instant replay too so yeah...Anyways, I think those people just wanted to blame something that they had no control over  |

| Written by an Ex-Broncos fullback, it was an ok book, more for it's content which is possible, than the plot itself | |||

| i see... i guess, i'll hunt my library for it... anyways--the last football game for the 2004-2005 NFL season--the pro bowl--is coming this sunday. Which conference has the better players? I think I'll go with the AFC. |

Originally posted by Danielle McNabb has more class than that..he must. Also, if he was smart (like I assume he is), the amount of money he'd receive in endorsements, bonuses, and contract extentions is way more than any bribe. |

| Ah, the Pro Bowl. Or as I like to refer to it: "The No-Star Game". Honestly, out of all "big 4" sports, I can't even sit through the Pro Bowl. At least in the other three you have nice action. |

 Poor Drew Bledsoe. The prototypical "cannon-for-an-arm" quarterback can't make it in the NFL anymore. The last of a dying breed, Drew Bledsoe was a good quarterback, who could easily throw through the thick wind of Buffalo. Not the most agile quarterback, he took many a hit and got right back up to throw again (except the infamous game against the Jets back in '01). Drew Bledsoe, happy trails. |
