NFL: 2014 Season

Hmm...Since I've been pissing and moaning for years/decades about not having a team to follow I decided that I'm going to root for my closest home team starting this year. I live half time+x days in SW FL, and since the other location would have me rooting for either the Redskins (impossible, I've hated them my entire life) or the Ravens (impossible, freaking Cleveland Browns) I decided to choose a FL team. Can't be the Dolphins (see Redskins, above), so I'm now declaring myself a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. Go Bucs! Next week.

It doesn't work that way. It starts in your hometown or one that is closest to you that has an NFL team. Your father starts you old as a little sprout about football and may take you to a game or two. The lifelong fan thing then starts. Of course through the generations the men in our family have always been Bears fans except my father who was a Cardinals fan because they use to play in Chicago years ago and my son who cherished the Green Bay Packers because of Brett Favre has now been a lifelong fan.....Oh forget it......do what you want!

I would not be so sure, most teams will kick it away from him from now on.

This is just one game. I think my wife could have run one back on Tampa last night. Hester was getting tackled by his shadow last year when he was with the Bears. Not to take anything away from his hall of fame career but he was pretty much washed up when the Bears let him go.

That's the problem. Grew up on the Baltimore Colts. Even wore high top chucks to copy Johnny U. Then they snuck out of town in the middle of the night and broke my heart.

Jacksonville is twice as far away, so Tampa wins by default. Although Jacksonville's definitely got the coolest mascot - Jaxson DeVille Mascot Extraordinaire - YouTube

That guy is certainly talented... and brave. Myself, I'm not afraid of heights either. I'm just afraid of falling!

I hope that tomorrow the Seahawks do to Denver what that mascot did at 3:38 & 4:35. Kick some Bronco a**! Go Hawks!

Well the Texans certainly earned/deserved their first season loss today.:yuk: However, I think Fitzpatrick may have been confused which team he was playing for. He threw 3 interceptions.

Thank you, Cowboys, for defeating (barely) our division rivals Rams.
I'm kinda gagging wishing our other rival SF beats division leader ARI this afternoon. If it's an ugly win, by a slim margin, that may make it palatable.

Denver really got hosed on that offsides flag that was picked up.

What a game. Now that would have made an exciting super bowl.

But I want to know, who in their right mind calls tails on the OT coin flip :LOL:. I'd call heads all the way.

I was watching the game and one of the talking heads said that the Seahawks are the smallest team in the league.

I heard that too. Guess size really doesn't matter.
