Diki,

Since you like the Saints, I was wondering if you were into LSU also? I'm giving the Eagles and 20 points when they meet the Saints. Any takers?
My prediction:
Eagles 40 Saints 136

No prediction, but as a fan of the SUPER BOWL CHAMPION NEW YORK GIANTS, I hope you are right ...

I never liked Tony anyway. Brickboo either.

GO EAGLES!!!!

Chas,

Man I'm sorry. Please forgive me friend. I didn't mean this for you. I had other folks on my mind.

Right now my Redskins are taking it to my Saints. I was a Green Bay fan since 1964, the Saints since 1967, the Redskins with Billy Kilmer since 1972 I think.

I like all three, but there's an edge for the Saints.

My college team (inherited from my wife's family) is the Alabama Crimson Tide. Why anyone gives them a starting rank other than 1st, I'll never know. You KNOW they are going to be #1 after the first game!

I've been to three Iron Bowls (Alabama/Auburn), and I can tell you, they take that game SERIOUSLY in the South! If you are 1 and 15, as long as that one win is in the Iron Bowl, you had a winning season as far as the fans care!

Diki,

I'll enjoy watching LSU vs the Tide maybe more than the Super Bowl unless the Saints are in it.

I've been a LSU fan since 1958. I used to have a transistor radio in my pocket with and ear phone every Saturday night on every gig for years all around Louisiana.

Playing a gig on Saturday afternoon is SO hard nowadays! Most bars are festooned with HDTV's all showing the games. How is ANYONE supposed to concentrate on playing when the game is on the line?!

Different story up here...we check the schedule and plan way ahead, so most Sundays are Eagles Eagles Eagles...just ask my wife Saturdays are free....not big on Collage Football



BTW...you all need to explain...

brickboo...Lives in Colorado and is (currently) a Washington Redskin fan.(it's actually a sports violation to root for more than one team in one particular league)

Tony lives in RI, and loves the Giants (I believe he's NY born, so he's forgiven)

chas lives in Georgia and is a Philadelphia Eagle fan (just smart ?)

Diki lives in Florida and follows Alabama...?




...just wonderin'

Larry, I like and root for the Falcons but I'm a GA transplant. I still bleed green. Unfortunately, I got 'infected' during my formative years .

Nice...perhaps smart parenting?

Once an Eagle fan, always an Eagle fan.

Back in the day, it was Night Clubs not bars. We had some single couples and some married couples. They did a lot of dancing then. No pool table distractions, computer games, TV etc. Just dancing drinking and smoking.

I just honked along with the group and listened to the tigers on my little $2 radio.

Iahawk, I got run out of town by the first wife because my son wanted to stay with me. After a while I met a nice lady in got Mississippi married and a bit later we visited Colorado and I flipped over and fell in love with the mountains. I was in to College and Pro ball before I even knew Colorado had mountains. Lol!

Now that was very much the theme of this song I played with a band back in the 80s.

GO EAGLES!!!

In the South, if you marry into an Alabama University family (or an Auburn U), you have to adopt them, like converting religion, or no-one in the family (including your wife!) will ever talk to you again!

Thing is, I'm from the FL Panhandle, so Tuscaloosa is one of the closest college teams anyway! And the Saints are my closest pro team (particularly as Jacksonville didn't exist when I started going to games in the 80's).

Anyway, if you are going to pick a pro team, picking one where, after they lose (and lose, and lose, and lose! like they did in the 80's and 90's), you walk out of the stadium and take a quick walk down to Bourbon Street to lick your wounds, and it is not all that bad! Some cities, even after you WIN, you don't really want to be there! NOLA has some of the best fans in the League, suffering for so long and still selling out the Superdome! It's a party, win or lose!

You got it right, Larry ... born, raised, and even at my old age MOST of my life was in New York, New York ... YANKEES, GIANTS, KNICKS, RANGERS - although I am not really much of a basketball or hockey fan ...

Interestingly, though, there are a LOT of GIANTS fans in li'l rhody from before the 'Puts' ever existed ...

as for boo, chas, and diki, I wouldn't even ATTEMPT to explain them ...

By the way ... that's the SUPER BOWL CHAMPION NEW YORK GIANTS!!!

Yeah, the accordion is bad enough without adding HOCKEY to your list of bad choices .

chas

Fan of the soon-to-be SUPER BOWL CHAMPION PHILADELPHIA 'IGGLES'.

Don't count the Saints out yet!!
Drew Brees had the worst day of his entire career yesterday and still had a better day then 90% of the guys who played quarter back yesterday. Think about it.

WE KNOW... WE KNOW... WE KNOW...from your almost daily reminders.


Now Donny has a story on why he likes the PHILADELPHIA Eagles and the NEW YORK Yankees

almost daily reminders ??? ... I guess I'm slacking ...

I would LOVE to hear how a Brooklyn boy becomes an e-girls fan ...
