I know I can't kick them out of the Super Bowl... they'll get a slap on the wrist and all will be right in the world.

I know I can't kick them out of the Super Bowl... they'll get a slap on the wrist and all will be right in the world.
Hey, now we have one team in the superbowl who didn't deserve to win and one team who probably should have won anyway but will forever be tainted by scandal. As a Packer fan, I like how this is playing out. Now if only Brady and Sherman can take out each other's knees in the same play...
Never said they had to be "brand new". Standard and regulated so they are the same for everyone, every game, could mean anything. Maybe that means the NFL establishes a game ball facility that takes new balls and breaks in each one using a standardized procedure, followed by a standardized testing and inspection process. Teams could keep used game balls if they wanted, but no game ball should be in possession of anyone other than a ref or ball official between the time of passing inspection and being used in a game.Quote:

Don't put all the blame on Bostik, the Pack had a chance to stop the Hawks from marching 50 yards for a TD, THE pack had the ball with 1:30 left and a chance to win! They were held to a FG. That's called defense. And then Wilson capped it off with a perfect strike to my Dawg Kearse who was wearing the packs DB like a blanket.http://i61.tinypic.com/14t7h90.jpg
GO HAWKS
Trolling by Seahawks fans is just silly. No one cares... Not even you. Your luck will pass, and your entire city will stop caring again. Enjoy it while it lasts.
The Packers and the Seahawks are my two least favorite teams and fan bases. This the only acceptable outcome to that game:Quote:

How can the Seahawks be your least favorite fan base? They haven't existed long enough to have formed a strong opinion of them.
They retired the number 12 jersey in 1984. Thats three decades of obnoxious.Quote:

My brother has lived in the Seattle/Portland area for years, and I get to talk to a lot of these people face to face. They are delusional. When the team sucked, they were more like most face painting fanbases. Now that they are successful, they are the nouveau riche of fan bases. Obnoxious in their wealth.Quote:

Conveniently ignoring the fact that they have had 2 straight decades of injury free HOF QB play. Point that out and then they start on the officiating, or how much Joe Buck hates them, or whatever they can think of to make it "us against the world".
If they were any dumber, you would have to water them twice a week.
The packers WERE extremely injury plaued the last few seasons. If you're a vikings fan, that explains the angst. No sense in arguing about it further because I don't really like kicking a man when he's down. Hope teddy works out for you, but I think you gave ponder a raw deal. He wasn't worth a first round pick, but you basically ruined a competent quarterback with unrealistic expectations.
A mild Vikings fan, but very pragmatic about it. I moved to MN from MD in 1968, where the colts always won. You learn to be pragmatic if you follow any sports in this state. I sound a lot more butthurt than I am, and I actually do not dislike anybody on the actual team, like I do for the Seahawks. It's the fans with Wisconsin.Quote:

People in AZ and CA even joke about how bad Wisconsin fans are when they follow their teams around the country...LOL. I had a bartender in AZ tell me Wisconsin fans tip like nickels are manhole covers.
Anyway, they go to school, get their degrees, find no jobs in Wisconsin and all come here. I actually wouldn't give two dookies about them if they just kept it at home, but they are an invading force, who no matter how stupid they sound with their "fire the trainer" chants, always go to the default "How many rings you got?", to which, of course, we got nothing.
BTW, I am not sure Ponder was really a competent QB at all. There were false expectations, to be sure, but I never saw much in him.
Very true about us being crappy tippers. No doubt.
My clients are terrible people.
Congratulations to the Patriots. Great game and yes I still care. Devastated but no excuses.
Oh this thread is still here
hey Wilson! You want to win the Super Bowl?
"Nah... I'll pass!"
Good laugh, you're right no one ever wins by throwing the ball.
The game was boring. I fell asleep after the half time show, which was terrible but funny. Katy Perry tryin to be black and Lenny Kravitz play for like 20 seconds.
I expected Lenny Kravitz- American Woman not Lenny Kravitz- I kissed a girl.
I'm sure the game was boring if you came to see a Katy perry concert.Quote:

I don't watch football because in general I find the games boring. The superbowl was the least boring game of football I've ever watched. If more games were like that I might actually start watching the other, what, 5 games? :pQuote:

I think it's gone way down. It was so much more fun back when people could have fun and occasionally get temporarily banned if they crossed the line. Once they started handing out lifetime bans, we had that period when people said "screw it" and started going WAAAAAAY over the top since they'd already been banned for life. Then all the people who came here for the fun (and usually game-related) chat just got bored and left. Now all we have left is whining. Everything else seems to be "off-topic."Quote:

Cha... totally agree: the fun factor is way down.
So, who's going to lose to the Spurs in the NBA Championship this year? :cool:
You watch NBA basketball? That's... interesting...Quote:

I like free coffee.
I'd take free coffee if it was offered to me as well... but it wouldn't be enough to make me sit through watching an NBA game. Half the talent of college and none of the excitement. That said, I only bother to watch college basketball during the tournament.
My husband would wonder why I'm watching college bball... not that I would wonder.
Since only the best of the college ranks succeed in the NBA, I would hope the "half the talent" comment was made in jest.Quote:

Sorry, perhaps "half the effort" would have been more appropriate. I'm not a very good judge of basketball talent, but the few times I've been forced to watch the NBA, it seems like most of the game consists of them half-hearting it back and forth across the court. They might be very good, but it doesn't show.

What's the point of asking for more feedback in a sticky? Grrr.
The redundancies are such a waste of time.
Practically every thread in the general forum is "feedback."
Not to mention, the CC "development team" reads the entire forum anyway.
Anyone else REALLY amused by the wailing and gnashing of teeth over accomplices?
really, really
So I hear the game is automatically redirecting players to the forum. Could the developers make it so they're directed to this thread by default?
Why would you want them to come here?
Really? You guys are going to let me kill this thread?!
you didn't kill it, moving it to OT killed it.
Oh, good point.
Now I don't feel so bad but definitly vain.
My bracket is SOOOOO good this year...
