Nfl Playoffs!

Ok, let us refocus, Denver and Indianapolis is a going to a great game as well.

I like Payton Manning, but my sentimental favorite is Jake Plummer. Anybody who has to endure the incompetence of the Cardinal organization wins my sympathy.

No, I will never forgive Bill Bidwell for moving the team from St. Louis to Arizona. A part my soul died in that move.

I am a bit embarassed at the emotion that subject arouses in me 16 years later. I was born and raised with the St Louis Cardinals, you just can't take the team away. Yes, we have the Rams but the emotion I have for them is 1/100th what I had for my Cardinals.

We don't disrupt or demean your many soccer threads, so stay out of our lone football thread.

Thanks.

Guess I could try and relate. I was born and raised in Philly, now living near Portland, OR (Seattle Seahawks country by the way, glad they lost).

A team gets "in your blood" and becomes a part of you. No matter where I live I'm always a Philly Phan.

I'd be hurtin too if that had ever happend to the Eagles.

I hope you never have to. Tradition in sports is what makes them so wonderful. One of the few constants that can be shared among all the generations of a family.

Imagine how sports would collapse if teams were moved like players so that the owners could make money or get a new stadium. Just sickening.

To me St. Louis, Dallas, Philly, Washington, and the NY Giants are the real division. It was just how I was brought up.

Ron Jaworski, Harold Carmichael, Wilbert Montgomery- those are Philly boys, just like Jim Hart, Dan Dierdorf, Mel Gray, and Terry Metcalf are my St. Louis boys.

Yep, in those days team owners felt a certain loyalty to the city they were in, and the fans appreciated and returned that loyalty.
Now, it&#39;s all about money and to hell with the fans and how they feel.

Yeah fuck off,

Anyway did you see how Green Bay won

An interception return in overtime- amazing


btw in the Colts/Broncos game it was already 7-3

Harrison catches a pass a falls (he&#39;s surrounded 3 Broncos)
No Bronco toughed him so he just gets back up and runs in the inzone.

Those Broncos were soooooo fucking stupid&#33;&#33;&#33;
