Gonna jump in here for a sec. I'm a UT (University of Tennessee Knoxville) Fan. I hope they do better this year but I'm so glad I can finally rub somethin in my manager's face at work. He's a Notre Dame fan. Ok I'm smack dab in Middle Tennessee and my ass munch manager has been puttin down UT all this time and it pissed me off. No one at work who gives the slightest shred of crap about football is a UT fan but me (cause I'm one of only 2 TN natives that works there). The old owner was. We had UT crap all over the kitchen. Well he leaves, all the UT stuff comes down and the manager just keeps puttin them down sayin they suck.
Retribution The last 2 weeks have been great. I'll be sittin in the office with him watchin the Notre Dame games, laughin my ass off like never before. As they say, karma's a bitch. I'm so happy to see my team win a little and watch his get clobbered. BTW no offense to any Notre Dame fans. I'm just enjoyin shuttin my managers trap for once. |

CFL is crazy this year, or at least, in a sense where one needs to expect an upset from some unfamiliar teams that get to beat down a familiar team who coasts through the season.
NFL on the other hand.... well, Ojisan likes the evil Patriots. I call that an easy way out. Either way, they aren't winning it all.

Man App St beating Mich was classic, Oregon beating Mich was hilarious. As a MSU fan I just cant help not laughing at the Mich fans who give us crap every year. Now we're 2-0 and theyre 0-2...course its a long season...hopefully MSU wont choke like we normally do mid-season
Anyone know who's favored in the ND v UofM game??

If you're talking about "Ojisan" xris, I'll let him speak for himself. You're not old enough to remember all the bad teams we had here. The drought wasn't as bad as with the Red Sox, but it was long enough. I'm not dumb enough to think that one win over the Jets, however convincing, tells us much of anything yet. Still, if Randy Moss can keep his mouth shut and do what Belicheck tells him, he looks to be a major upgrade at WR. Apparently Brady looked like the cat that ate the canary when asked about Moss during the press conference on Friday.

Been watching some of the recent College games, and they are a blast. I was sooo impressed by the 110,000 crowd (90% or more wearing white) at the Penn State vs Notre Dame game. That was a sight. Will be watching Notre Dame @ Michigan on Saturday, see who finally manages to win their first game of the season. |

I didn't start taking an interest in the Patriots until after I left college. The oldest memory I have is of the infamous roughing-the-passer call in the 1974(?) playoffs against the Raiders. Quote:
I hadn't seen anything on the forum about xris being a Pats fan, until just now. £12??? What were you doing, sleeping with a stewardess and getting special rates?

Well I guess this issue is still pretty fresh considering the NFL has yet to to give punishment, but what do you guys think about the Patriots being involved in cheating by having a secret video guy who tapes the defensive hand signals of the opposing team in an effort to gain a distinct competitive advantage??
I honestly think it has the potential to taint their Super Bowl legacy because head coach Bill Belichick has been caught before and the league specifically singled the Pats out as a team that dealt in this type of shadyness (Going so far as to send them and all other teams a written letter saying these type of actions will not be tolerated)....New Commissioner Godell has already shown he's by far the most stern and heavy-handed league head in years for any sport...I mean this guy suspended a Dallas assistant coach for 5 games because he used HGH(Human Growth Hormones) to help him cope with his body deteriorating from diabeties! Not to mention the whole Pac-Man Jones fiasco...I expect some huge fines and suspensions for this, not to mention draft picks to be taken...I think the punishment will be much bigger than some are expecting... Additionally the credibility of the Pats championships are taking a big hit as league players are recalling all sorts of incidents where they believed the Patriots were cheating...So if they were still blatantly cheating after the NFL had already told them it wouldn't be tolerated, whose to say what they did when there was no light shed on this issue...To say the least this issue is gonna put a shadow over their DYNASTY and their head coach who up to this point has been considered a genius for the ages...

I can understand that though - people assume that I became a Bronco fan when they started winning Super Bowls. They can never understand the levels of ridicule I had to endure after Super Bowl XXIV because I happened to live in what's considered the San Francisco 49ers broadcast area.

Results of the Patriots scandal:
Coach Bill Belichick fined $500,000 (Maximum fine allowed) Patriots fined $250,000 Patriots will LOSE next year's first round draft pick if they make the playoffs, but if they miss the playoffs it will be a 2nd and 3rd rounder... Somewhat stiff penalty, but the Pats still get off light because they had 2 first-round picks to begin with...Totally surprised they didn't suspend Belichick for multiple games...Players and coaches around the league are pretty outraged he didn't get suspended (However that could be sour grapes toward the Pats in general)...At the end of the day Belichick still has to come outta his OWN pockets with half a million...My personal opinion is based on NFL Commissioner Roger Godell's track record, that's a pretty lenient ruling (all things considered)...

Even with this ridiculous amount of fines and the negation of the draft picks, this thing isn't over for the Patriots. They will be under intense scrutiny from here on, by the league and the teams, and if they fail to make even the playoffs, everyone will be nodding their knowing little heads. The talks will be back and questions will be raised all the way to their superbowl titles. I also felt like a genius for a moment after I read that particular news, because the previous day I made a insane prediction in this thread, against all odds, that Pats aren't winning it all.

We'll I thought this thread is dead because no American Football fans even in this forum and come to this thread, well thanks the for post and man well those Pats are gonna slow down or maybe undefeated, for Moss he gonna have a good season if he stops complaining, oh he already stopped complaining, so i guess he's gonna have a hell of a season, but speaking a hell of a season College Football is going crazy as well. I'll have Polls later this morning. Oh thanks again on reviving this thread.

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but this Patriots team is better than any of the ones that won the Super Bowl.
Most of this season's victories have had a "just another day at the office" feel to them. They look as professional and in command as any team I've ever seen. I only wish my mother was still alive so she could watch Brady tie Roger Staubach's record for highest winning percentage in the first 100 games played -- in Dallas next Sunday. I wonder if anyone in the NFL front-office was thinking about that possibility when they made the 2007 schedule. It certainly will be the game of the season so far. Oh, and while I don't follow college football or BC, I'm stunned that they could be ranked as high as five this week. Whatever happened to strength of schedule? A bunch of victories over weak ACC opponents, UMass, and Bowling Green makes them a top-ten or better team? Sure....

Oh boy! Only one team left that can potentially challenge the Patriots. The Cowboys did give hope until the 3rd quarter, but then they were methodically discarded to the oblivion by the efficient Patriots offense. It's all up to Manning to give the Patriots something to ponder about.
P.S. I'm talking about the "good" Manning and not the pretender. Quote:
