Go Leafs, go Leafs <-------- Hey what can I say, I'm Canadian, we
are practically born with skates on up here

I'll be ok lads as far as the Packers, they'll be ok. It has been an adjustment with a
new QB, but I think the team looks good going forward. For the most part there is
just so much parody in the NFL and on any given Sunday......

Ya' gotta take your knocks

"born with skates on":hmm:

Glad the Leafs are doing well. I've always enjoyed hockey. Hockey games seem to break out a lot at fights You're definitely right about parity in the NFL, too. For the last four years the last place team in our division has won the division the next year.

The Salary Cap makes a difference in this, they brought this into the NHL a few years ago also, and it has and will continue to level the playing field there as well. Anyway, back to the NFL: a team like Green Bay has an opportunity to compete against some of the larger market clubs like the Giants, Chicago or your squad, Atlanta.

It all makes for great entertainment

By the way it's nice the Falcons are doing well after " the Micheal Vick " era .

Usually, football season is over by now in Atlanta, but this year (miracle of miracles), there's even (bite my tongue) talk of playoffs around here. Like you, I'm very pleased with the play of our rookie players, coach and general manager. It's like the football gods decided that all those years of suffering since the 60s have entitled us to some joy

Every dog has their day as they say DT. If anything, the Ravens and Falcons have some young talent to build on. That is key in seasons to come.

You ain't just whistlin' Dixie, RDP. If there was ever a classic depressing season, last year was it. Vick goes to jail, head coach (won't mention his cowardly name) creeps off in the dead of night with 3 games left to go in the season to go back to college and then "The Big Tuna" plays us like a fiddle to get more money out of Miami (who's doing a major turn around this year, too). I seriously thought about donating all my Falcon gear to charity (which would have ticked my in-laws off big time, since they give it to me for Christmas every year).

Dammit, that's the 3rd FF game I've lost at the last minute.

What's up with these thursday games?

[1480]

There is this guy from Green Bay (Packers fan) driving to Chicago and this guy from Chicago (Bears fan) driving to Green Bay. In the middle of the night with no other cars on the road they hit each other head on and both cars go flying in different directions. The Packer fan manages to climb out of his car and surveys the damage he looks at his twisted car and says "man I am lucky to be alive". Likewise the Bears fan scrambles out of his car and looks at the wreckage and he too says to himself, "I can't believe I survived this wreck".
The Bear fan walks over to the Packer fan and says "Hey man I think this is a sign from god that we should put away our petty differences and live as friends instead of rivals". The Packer fan thinks for a moment and says "you know your absolutely right we should be friends lets see what else survived this wreck". So the bear fan pops his trunk and finds a bottle full of Jack Daniels. He says to the packer fan "I think this is another sign from god that we should toast to our newfound understanding and friendship".

The packer fan says "your damn right" he takes the bottle and starts sucking down Jack Daniels. After putting away nearly half the bottle the Bear fan hands it back to the Bear fan and says "your turn". The bear fan twists the cap back on the bottle and says "nah I think I will wait for the cops to show up".

They laid the smack down on my beloved Bears . You should hear the talk shows and all of the speculation in that the defense is in open revolt because of the Def Coordinator. Just makes for good radio....

My Ravens got whooped by the Giants. Just as well, the Giants have their act together and Manning is just an excellent QB who finds his mark just about everytime.
