Jim Uran Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Should be some good games today, I'm definitely rooting for the Falcons and Steelers but I don't know man. The Pats just seem to play the best team ball in the League. Guys step up and perform at every different position. The Packers are just scary in the post season, not so much the whole team but that dirty dog Aaron Rodgers. I hope they both turn out to be competitive and exciting.

Jim Uran Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well 24-0 going into halftime... Gayrod is getting shut down. I think I'll fish instead of watch football lol. I'll watch the other game when I get back! PurpleFloyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The Pack played very Vikingesque in the first half, a bunch of woulda, coulda, shoulda. With an AP type of fumble going in. Uran...... I came here to tell ya to shut it and not jinx things at half..........too late. Jim Uran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzie Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Really what is there to despise? Everything about your rival team is to be despised!!! Cant stand their colors, mascot, city, fans...usually a lot of the despising comes from interacting with one of your rivals fans and being just annoyed with them and listening to them go on and on as to why their team is so great!! Like listening to an Alabama fan tell us how great of a team they are and yada yada yada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Uran Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm going to be honest, there are only two teams in the league I despise. One is the Packers, the other is the Seahawks. The Packers, the reason is obvious, the Seahawks it is more or less Richard Sherman lol AND their sickening cocky attitude AND their hoards of bandwagon fans. I always root for the underdog in any game excluding the two above mentioned teams, and of course my Vikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufatz Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hey! I've been a Seahawks fan since the beginning. We used to fly down from Alaska to SEA for the weekend: the Washington Huskies on Sat. and the Seahawks on Sunday. We ate cold oatmeal and hard bread for a lot of years before now. And I can remember in the old Kingdome when the floor would begin to pulse and wiggle with fan cheering and raving! It was scary sometimes.....I mean it....actually scary. We ARE fans and sometimes we ARE cocky! Jim Uran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Uran Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I can't argue with a die hard fan from the bad ol days lol You used to have the ugly jerseys and the only old Seahawk I remember is Steve Largent, one of the best receivers in history!

ozzie Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 "Do you do this in your real life? Have you ever been in a bowling league or softball league? If so, did you despise the other teams in your league?" I will say that when I play softball, just with my competitive nature or annoyance of certain teams, I do despise them to a point where when I play against them I take it a little more serious and want to win a little more as I hate losing to certain team more than others. I usually don't have any relationships with players on those teams and there is usually a past experience to cause me to despise them. But I don't take anything extra curricular serious enough to care past the game I am playing or watching... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I don't hate the Gophers, I even hope they turn it around sometime in my lifetime but I see no point in supporting a 50 year loser. Plus Gopher fans are such a fun bunch to razz, they have such thin skin.... 1 hour ago, ozzie said: "Do you do this in your real life? Have you ever been in a bowling league or softball league?

Jim Uran Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 It's not jealousy, it's rivalry. Plain and simple. I hate those green and gold peckerheads. It's what makes the NFL so fun, not everyone pretends to be too good to hate their rivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC once they changed out the balls they supposedly altered with ones at the supposed proper psi he threw for more yards and TD's than when the supposedly altered ones were in play.
