NFL '13 SEASON THREAD

[Still MIGHTY]

Ugh, Lambeau looks like death.

[FGM13]

It looks supremely unpleasant to be playing football in Green Bay today.

[4_tattoos]

I hate when the Skins beat teams that ultimately win the Super Bowl. Just another reminder of their recent underachieving.

[dbadefense1990]

Funny, I expected the type of snow we all saw in the Eagles-Lions game at Lambeau.

Go home, Wisconsin weather. You failed today.

[IceCap]

Go home, Wisconsin weather. You failed today.

It's Wisconsin in January. What was everyone expecting?

[CS85]

Is FOX seriously pushing the California Team vs Cold City Team narrative? Their rosters are equally built by players from Texas and Florida.

[FiddySicks]

You all realize we're probably headed for a 9-7 vs. 8-7-1 Super Bowl, right?

I had this gut feeling from the very beginning that it was going to be a really exciting season with a downright groan inducing finish. Pats over Packers. The absolute WORST case scenario. It's gonna happen, trust me.

Yeah, some of us don't see it quite like that.

Yeah I guess if you like watching your "team" lose in the Super Bowl to Derrick freaking Zoolander.

You can count me out on that one.

Just curious, why is team in quotes?

Because I really don't have any idea who your favorite team is. I seem to remember you denouncing basically all of Cleveland sports a few years ago, but I'm not sure if that really stuck (I've said that plenty of times, it never works). That and I know you own stock in the Packers, so they kind of are your "team".

This from the guy who always catches flack for having so many favorite teams?

Kidding aside... It stuck. Don't get me wrong, I still root for the Browns, but the Packers stock moved them to the top spot. It's as simple as that. Think of them as 1A and 1B. The Indians? Well, I never really was much of an Indians fan. I don't really have the tradtiional "favorite" baseball team. It's more just some teams I like more than others. The story of how I got interested in the Pirates is around here somewhere. Long story short, I started watching them on MLB Extra Innings in 2009 because I felt sorry for them.

The Pirates? That's funny because I kind of remember you being an Angels fan before that.

[Funky Bunky]

By the way, happy 50th anniversary of the Chargers winning their only championship in their franchise history!

I'm honestly curious, who's your favorite team again? I forgot.

The Chargers ride ends next Sunday.

Who won the last meeting in Denver? That's right.

I look forward to another post-season Payton Manning choke job against San Diego

Who won the last meeting between San Diego & Cincinnati... oh yea, that's right, it means so much... wait, no, it doesn't.

Then you will most definitely be disappointed.

San Diego doesn't have the advantage of getting Denver on only four days rest this time around.

Jesus Christ, you do know San Diego had to play with only 4 days rest too? Stop being cocky, and just wait and see. Nobody's saying the Chargers are going to automatically win, but neither should you.

Never said I was a Pirates fan. I said I got interested in them. Big difference. I also said I don't have a "favorite" baseball team. And again, this from a guy who has like 5 favorite baseball teams? Bricks in a glass house comes to mind.

[Funky Bunky]

... and California. We produce a good amount of talent too, y'know.

I think you're kinda putting you're own level of maliciousness on what I'm saying. Mountains out of a mole hill comes to mind as well.

Sorry for being observant? Sorry that you're being overly defensive and sensitive?

[ninersdd]

Great drive, but not the right result. Crabtree is picking up where he left off last year vs GB.

I remember back when the Chargers and Bengals played in the 1981 playoffs in the game where the wind chill was -60. They were doing the warm weather vs. cold weather narrative and Chris Collinsworth said something to the effect of "I may play in Cincinnati but I'm from Florida and I can tell you that I'm not at all used to this."

Looking at the aerial shots it did snow in Green Bay but they plowed it away or tarped it off to preserve that verdant green field

Because I always use a smiley face when I'm being malicious? Anyway, if it came across that way, I apologize. It wasn't my intent. I'm not at all defensive or sensitive about it. I was just trying to answer your questions and goof on the fact that you're pretty much the same way I am on the matter.

By the way, happy 50th anniversary of the Chargers winning their only championship in their franchise history!

I'm honestly curious, who's your favorite team again? I forgot.

Yeah; when the NFL left the city before I began Kindergarden, it's really hard to have a single interest in the NFL.

Then again, the Raiders have been paralyzed by Dexter Jackson for, what, 11 years now?

[infrared41]

It looks positively miserable at Lambeau.

So just a football fan in general I see? I'm kind of the same. I like the Cardinals and Chargers, but I've never really felt like I live and die with any team.

Is this another wack at CS85?
