I went to four games this past season: 49ers @ Redskins Jets @ Redskins Lions @ Redskins Giants @ Redskins Every game was 75-80% opposing team fans. It was pathetic and such an embarrassment as a Redskins fan to sit through. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 3 hours ago, dont care said: In any tournament that’s single elimination it’s always possible to “fluke” your way to a championship That's true... but when the team that wins was the #1 seed and won 13 regular-season games, it's really hard to call that a "fluke". It's not like an 8 seed winning the Stanley Cup because their goalie "stood on his head". Why do they say that goalies stand on their heads? Is that even possible on ice? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are buying more of their stuff than anyone except the Cowboys. Seems pretty popular to me. I feel like the most forgettable team in the league is the Jaguars. Only reason they've gained some following is their 2017 playoff run and playing in London every year. Let's be honest, who cares about the Jaguars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 And me, seeing as how I was with them from the start. (As amazing as it is, I've run across a few Jaguars fans up here in the northern plains--definitely wasn't expecting that.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshmaster101 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 i wouldnt categorize changing the number font as a minor change, as the number is literally plastered all over the chest, back and shoulders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda depends on situation.. when the Rams debuted their 2000's look, it had a standard block font for the first year.. then they updated only the number font, and it went largely unnoticed.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story goes that when the NHL revoked its rule that goalies must remain on their feet while making a save, Frank Calder said "As far as I'm concerned, they can stand on their head if they want." This comes across extremely apocryphal to me, but that's where it supposedly comes from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say it grew out of saying "he did everything but stand on his head," but then one half of the phrase was lost to time while the other end hung on, such that it doesn't make any sense on its own.

How are you basing that it went "largely unnoticed"? In the absence of sites like this, and the inability to get instant feedback on any design change, it seems like a tough assertion to make. I, for one, definitely noticed - especially since IIRC they were unveiledd with the new font, sold as replicas with the new font, and the block font inexplicably ended up on the game jerseys. 25 minutes ago, oldschoolvikings said: Wait...

Did going to your knees constitute 'leaving your feet'? Or does that mean that they just didn't want goalies diving like outfielders trying to snag line drives, or jumping and doing karate kicks to stop pucks going for the wide-side of the net? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, who cares about the Jaguars? and me as well...FYI just because the organization is pretty terrible and the team inept in the sport, doesn't mean they don't have support or folks don't care. We would just rather our NFL team to win more than just over 40 games in a decade, and maybe 4 postseason wins since the start of the millenium isn't acceptable. 2017 isn't good enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest and said I never knew about this until right now. Had to google to check for myself.

(For those unfamiliar, it's one playoff win since 1957. One. One. Since 1957. 1957. Lions' fans are kind of hard to describe.) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
