Are you ready for some football? (2005)

Onkel Neal · 09-08-05, 05:25 AM

Season begins tonight. My fabled Raiders vs those tucking Patriots

What's your team and how did they become your favorite team?

What are your predictions for the season?

Cool Neal, I am sooooooo out of the loop concerning American football and good ol Canadian hockey. My sis and her hubbie are baseball fans (yes my sis loves it) . Don't hold it against me but my brother in law is a Yankee (well of Hungarian origin

) and they live in Queens..big Yankees fans, git it?

He does like football though...not sure which team he supports. I was told in no uncertain terms by my bro in law's boss (my sis) they support the Islanders not Rangers.

I've been a Patriots fan since they wore red jerseys. Threepeat baby!

Abraham · 09-08-05, 12:56 PM

My favorite team is Ajax, of course, and on a national level the Oranje-football team.

Sea Demon · 09-08-05, 03:31 PM

49ers here. Well I'm a Californian and grew up during the 49er Glory days of the 80's. They look alot better this year. Rattay is doing alot better thank God. But that offensive line needs to give him more time in the pocket to find receivers.

- I hate to say it, but the Patriots just might 3-peat. They seem unbeatable. I'm hoping the Raiders at least get the Patriots off to a bad start. :P

Onkel Neal · 09-08-05, 11:00 PM

Something about that yellow rag, the Raiders in love with it

Iceman · 09-08-05, 11:58 PM

Ah Neal....when I saw this pic I thought of you.

Pittsburgh Steelers....just always liked em...Arizona hasn't always had a team of our own so we had to have one and Pitts was it and still is....was cool to even see them come to Ariz a few yrs back in a Super Bowl here...couldn't pull it out though that yr.

Terrax · 09-09-05, 08:48 AM

I've been a Saints fan for over 15 years. I really don't remember why I picked them as my favorite team, but over the years, it's become apparent that I like watching my favorite team lose consistently.

I kind of had hopes for them this year, but more than likely all the issues with the city of New Orleans will make a normally streaky team worse.

Of course I can tell myself that getting out of New Orleans, and the tragedy of Katrina will make the team step up and make the play offs.
Yea, I can tell myself that anyway...

NO!!! I have been waiting for October for a season.....

cowman1009 · 09-09-05, 11:57 AM

Well lets see....born in Massachusetts and raised in Maine....currently stationed in Connecticut; the pattern would point to a team somewhere in the Northeast region, a team that has dominated the NFL 3 out of the last 4 years....GO PATS!!!!!!
