Let's talk football!🏈

Geesh guys, it’s still the hockey playoffs! After my Avs win the cup, THEN I’ll worry about how bad the Broncos are!

 

[TC3033]

So my Steelers try to again climb the Stairway to Seven

Will the Big Ten reverse course and start in October??

I thought it was November… Either way…it won’t be the same having all of the games at neutral sites.

I’m also not a big fan of the NFL allowing fans by whatever the state the team resides in says. I say no fans until every team is allowed at least some number.

 

[Dr_Meinheimer]

That’s me brother. And such a sad time to see my fandom dying, with Lamar Jackson rising and the sky seemingly the limit. They can’t cease preaching, but only one message is acceptable. No thanks, Goodell.

I’m all in for Manchester United. Oh… you meant the football we play on THIS side of the ocean…

I own lots of Raiders stuff, Cowboys as well. I’m currently wearing a Rams t-shirt. I have a Patriots one somewhere but I try to keep that one hidden ( It was a gift so I put it on at relevant moments.)

I’m more into college ball and the CFL does not interest me in the least even though there is a team in a neighboring city. So if we can do college, the teams I keep track of are Tennessee, Georgia, and Maryland. But if there are 5 or 6 games to choose from on an average Saturday I’ll watch a bit of each no matter who is playing.

That reminds me of a joke told by an SEC fan who didn’t like Tennessee.

He said, “Do you know why Tennessee players wear orange jerseys? Because they’re used to wearing orange the rest of the week when working on chain gangs at the prison”.

Because they’re used to wearing orange the rest of the week when working on chain gangs

I have distant cousins in Tennessee. They’ll get a kick out of this one.

Brings to mind a joke I heard about the fierce rivalry between Virginia and Virginia Tech. Works for either school, or any other rivalry for that matter. “Why couldn’t the Virginia Homecoming Queen make it to the away game at Tech? They needed her to finish grazing the home field.”

A bunch of millionaires, a number of whom have domestic abuse problems, playing a boys’ game in order to sell trucks and beer - as well as lecture us on civic responsibilities. I’ll pass.

A young man from our city was drafted several years back into one of the NFL teams–I won’t say which. He is a fine Catholic man who graduated from our city’s Catholic schools (and our Catholic high school has been to state tourney many times), and he continues to be a fine Catholic man who is generous with his salary and always upstanding in his public behavior.

I think that most NFL players are just like this young man–decent, moral, God-fearing and country-honoring men that we can admire not only for their amazing athleticism, but their good souls.

I love watching a good NFL game! So much athleticism and action, and every game is different. The strategies in American football are every bit as riveting as a game of Go or Chess. It’s a great game.

I checked New England Patriots roster and a little less than half of the roster make more than a million, although some make 9+ million $. The minimum salary I saw for any player was $610k, which isn’t too shabby.

I agree that using sports as a political platform for athletes to express their views is somewhat annoying. Sports to me should be entertaining and an oasis from politics and other worries of life.

 

[Titivillus]

“Here We Go
2020 season is UnDerWay!”

 

[DeniseNY]

That was totally me at the beginning of the game!

 

[Irishmom2]

Lol, I am currently wearing an Iron City tee!

 

[Titivillus]

I’m glad Ben is back and seems okay, but I’ll miss the Duck. At least the team has kept him on the practice squad, so he can still come up, I suppose, if needed.

 

[Titivillus]

You gotta keep wearin’ 'at for the rest of the season!

“Dad Has Spoken”

 

[Irishmom2]

That’s for sure!

 

[DeniseNY]

I’m so upset about Zach Banner. He worked so hard in the off season and in training camp to earn being a starter.

And as much as I like James Conner, I think Benny Snell is better.

 

[on_the_hill]

I don’t know which is worse, the fake crowd noise or no crowd noise.
One benefit is that I heard a couple clang
noises I never heard before, including one courtesy of Chris Boswell on Monday night.

 

[DeniseNY]

Yeah, I thought “here we go again” when he missed.

 

[pnewton]

Every year I have jumped on the annual football threads since 2005. I cannot, at least at this time, do anything supportive of the NFL.
