Which NFL team...

[Alex]

Yeah pretty much. Except it has laces. Although in this case they weren't real laces and were in fact rubber ones moulded onto the ball.

It's when you get the spin on it that professionals do, that the satisfaction is at it's highest.

Laces Out!!



EDIT: Ive always liked the Oakland Raiders too. I got given a cap by my cousin when i was 6 or 7 and looked out for them since

[Neil Young]

I agree really, and I don't think I've ever watched a full game.

However, my brother took an American Football on holiday and it's surprising the satisfaction we got from standing in one place and throwing it back and forth to each other. Over and over again.

I'm not trying to pick you up on it to score a point but surely it's an 'American football' or 'American Football football.'

[krade]

'Gridiron' is so, so ****.

You might want to re-evaluate your opinion

[little dave hedgehog]

'Gridiron' is so, so ****.

Yes. But they were the Oakland Raiders before moving to LA so really they were just returning to their roots. And I quite like clubs that stick to their roots. It feels LFCish.

i've always had the idea that raiders fan were a bit like... hmmm, who can i pick that's analogous... stoke fans? millwall fans? only more in to something like the insane clown posse. my personal favorites are the packers, but not for any footballing reasons. i like them because they are owned by the city so everyone who lives in green bay owns a part of the team, and they remain successful. very idyllic. wish everyone could work it out that way.

Yes. But (a) it's on on Sunday evening when there little else on but, usually, tediously overhyped Spanish football and (b) it's a gazillion times better than golf so stfu up.

merlboo will never know what he's started imo opinion.

Yeah, the Packers are a contender for me. I didn't know that but it fits with the image I have of them as a community club, sorry, franchise. And the cheeseheads are a laugh.

Lol loud

[little dave hedgehog]

did i get the english teams right? think of a support that's so ugly and gew up so disadvantaged that they are now legitimately mentally and emotionally unstable, and have taken to wearing make up and pretending to evil in some demonstrative way that relates to horror movies or the bible.

[Neil Young]

Not sure about Stoke. Millwall, maybe. Do Raiders fans feel "no-one likes us, we don't care" more than fans from elsewhere?

And do they kick a million kinds of **** out of rival fans as soon as the chance arises?

yeah maybe. i feel like it's a type of white trash that no other country really does properly. they are really more like crazy aliens than people.

isnt it true that games can go on for days?

they also do something with their hands to signal a tea break?

and its not as hard as rugby

or something like that

[Neil Young]

I used to like the Browns because of their silly name, the dog pound and the fact they re-emerged after the fans were disenfranchised by the move to Baltimore.

Then I found out the name has nothing to do with a rejection of fancy nicknames and is just a vanity hangover from their egomaniac founder so I've gone off them.

I've got a soft spot for the Steelers and the Bills. Are they suitable contenders for my affections?

[Hollowman]

The Bills are a clown organisation. Their front office is laughable. They'll deserve their number one pick next year.

[Hollowman]

So, yeah, I guess they're sort of like us...

[little dave hedgehog]

i grew up a steelers fan, which is funny because i'd never seen a game of football in my life.

[Hollowman]

You're Canadian really, aren't you?

What the hell do you watch on TV over Christmas when there's nothing but bowl games on?

[little dave hedgehog]

i've seen one now, but not when i was little. my hometown is baseball/hockey obsessed.

and since i don't have a tv, the answer is very little. i took great comfort when i was aboad in not knowing who won any of the super bowls.
