Yes, the Pats will most likely win. And probably in a blowout, since the last Super Bowl was close.

Pats will win again prolly a blowout to

See if you win a big sports event like the superbowl, to many times, you are just expected to win the next time. and if they lose, its just a huge dissapointment. Look what happned to the yankees. I'd like someone else to win the bowl this time.
DarkSinister
I'm wanting the eagles to win, but most likely, the patriots are taking it.

so like a kid...two different sports...baseball is a sport of greed with no cap...football does have a cap so this accomplishment is monumental...

Patriots. What do you think of the Terrell Owens sideshow? It's getting annoying, to me, anyway.

I'm for Philli, go Eagles!! yeah...

TODAY is the DAY! Yay!

patriots won...i guess this thread will be very lonely until training camp and the drafts starts again. *bummer* hmm.gif
we now have a dynasty...
snuffypuffer
I'm a little shocked that I picked the results almost exactly, though I thought it would be more of a blowout.
RaginCajun
i knew it wasn;t gonna be a blow out. it is not in there nature to win by 20 points.
RaginCajun
sorry wrong thread.
snuffypuffer
My favorite was the card commercial with the guy and the cat, and the one with the guy talking into the microphone at the store who got the cattle prod. The commercials were kinda lame this year, for the most part.

Lost $600 dollars, I gave someone the Eagles and 14 points. I should stick to Baseball.

Blasphemy! After 36 years Monday night is moving to ESPN which is not a bad channel. But its almost tradition for me to spend Monday Night watching ABC with my friends watching our favorite sports broadcasters and they recently got Madden on the show, now its gone. That really sucks.
Triniant
I know, I know, I am a little late, but nonetheless, the Eagles did not win, who didn't know, right? Anyway, congrats to the Pats (once again).

Draft weekend is upon us, who is going first? I believe SF is going to take Alex Smith.

Does anyone remember when CBS covered the NFC until they sold out to FOX? That is the kind of effect it will have on me. An "I can't believe they are doing this" type of feeling. Bring back Dandy Don and Turn out the lights laugh.gif !!
snuffypuffer
Monday Night Football is moving to ESPN? What the hell? Either ESPN has gotten a lot of clout over the years, or Monday Night is losing its luster. It's a freaking institution, for crying out loud! Ah well, I guess change is a good thing, in the long run.

Indianapolis Colts are going to the Superbowl...I predict it now. One more week til football season begins you sissies. New England PATRIOTS are going down. We can talk about it all season long. Yea... Go Colts...yea...beer...beer...football...argg...men stuff...girls...beers...and " Hooters " for Gameday...beer!!!

Giants baby they got it next year laugh.gif

I don't know about the Colts I've still not seen any attempts to improve their defence

And Jets rule, if it was not for that kicker we could of gone all the way crying.gif

I'm sorry, I tried to find it.. the other thread was n't American football.

Boooo... Giants...boooo...haha...my best friend is a Giants fan. Giants did so bad last year, that they just lost the whole season, just gave up... simply for better chances in draft picks this years. Actually, the COLTS have signed four defensive rookie players already for this season. Everyone has re-signed from last year Manning, James, Harrision, Stockley, Wayne ...Freeney is a badass and everyone has to agree on that. he's the best in the league and his stats show that... Peyton Manning id still Peyton, and the Giants can be cinsider the Colt's baby brother since you guys got Eli Manning. This is the year he has to prove himself. COLTs onlty did not go to the superbowl last year because the PATRIOTS, which we will defeat this year. The COLTs are going to the SUPERBOWL this year..mark my words! thumbsup.gif

Where? can someone send me a link to it.... I'll ask a mod for a merge.... so far, people are getting the wrong idea when I say American football... all the threads are European football, and rugby.... The " AFL " thread that I thought meant American Football league is not american football..... and in there they talk about the west coast eagles..... That's completely different than the East coast eagles of Philly.... this is weird..

Well lets see why they would wear pads =/..

They spend 365 days a year, getting as physically fit as they possibly could. You have 90 % of the players being above 6ft tall, with 0% body fat.. Taking all the suplements thats they can possibly find to increase their bodies potential. So hmm lets see, you get a bunch of guys that weight 250 lbs + of solid muscle that can run a 50 yard dash in about 4 seconds, against a rugby player.. Yea, lets see who comes out on top..
Put an NFL Player against a rugby player, your rugby player would come out deformed and crippled.. Not to down your sport or anything, but the NFL is a roster full of Monsters. You take a hit from these guys without padding on, you will not be going anywhere for a long time. So show some respect, you all know your sport cant hold a lick to the NFL.. No offense, but these are finely tuned machines.

It’s the same thing every year. Yes the Colts are a talented team but, and I stress but, they have to find the glue to hold it together. Don't get me wrong, I wanted the Colts to beat the Pats last year (it's in this thread somewhere), but it seemed that when push came to shove, they fell; two years in a row.

I think Bill Parcells really needs to start using Drew Henson. Not those other QBs.

I know i know, but I got support the Colts because that's my home team, better than jumping on a bandwagon.. but since I live in Houston, I would really like to see the Texans start picking up some momentum. But when the Colts come to Houston, I will be wearing my Colts Jersey, and waving my giant Colt's flag, and my deafening fog horn.....honk hooooonkkk.....

The Pats lost too many good players this season to continue their spree, though you never know, they always do good with players filling in and playing pick-up.

I live in soccer country and it's a bore. Run, run, run for two hours and in the end it's 0 - 0. Exciting, huh?

Let's see, since I nailed the superbowl last year before the regular season ever started, Ima do this again. Snuffs is money when it comes to these things. laugh.gif

Superbowl 40 Steelers beat the Vikings. Go tell it on the mountain.

And my Sooners, barring some sort of miracle, will not be in the National Championship game this year. sad.gif
Blackleaf
If soccer is for wusses, then why do American Footballers wear 10-tonnes of body armour, which makes them look completely stupid? They have 10-foot wide shoulder pads, and wear helmets of a similar type that batsmen in cricket wear, who DO deserve to wear them?

I've seen that game, and it keeps stopping every 30 seconds. I would say rugby is a much more dangerous game than American Football. But rugby players hardly wear any armour. The shoulders pads and shinpads that they wear are hardly noticeable. Rugby just wouldn't be rugby without the sight of blood pouring from a wound in the head, or someone who had his eyes gouged by an opposing player.

If anyone are wussies, it's the American Footballers.
snuffypuffer
Blackleaf, try getting hit by a guy roughly the size of a small truck, running full speed into your face. Then tell me if you don't want to try wearing a helmet next time. thumbsup.gif

I was talking about my you doggin' on my colts. I'm just saying I'm quoting you that you don't think Colts are gonna do any good this year, so we will see. So why are you getting so jumpy regarding the falcons?, ...ah...a Micheal Vick fan eh? Vic would be the best in the league if there was no Peyton Manning.. but there is... and I recall he's with the Colts too.

Guess who's just won some tickets to see the Patriots Vs the Giants tomorrow night in the office ballot. clap.gif Row 4 no less!! w00t.gif cool.gif
