The reason I like the pats is because they were the team I used to use in NFL Blitz for N64. Didn't even realize they were good until I started watching games

During the N64 days, they were anything but good.

Should have clarified. I started watching games in '06. I bought NFL Blitz in 2003.

Gotcha. If I remember correctly, that's about the time they stopped being the Buffalo Bills, so you picked a good time to hop on. But soon Brady will retire, or become Brett Farve, and the natural order will be restored. Soon....


Well they won their first SB in 2001. I'd say they're the 90's Bills right now, with the way they've been losing SBs lately.

That's how I came to like the Seahawks. Bought Madden 05 and started using them the most, then that transitioned over to actual football. Began at the 03 season. :)

Remember those little machines from when you were a kid, where you'd put in a quarter, turn the dial and a cheap little toy or gumball would come out? There was a machine full of plastic helmets, so I one day decided whatever helmet I got out of the machine would become my team. And that's why I'm a Vikings fan. :)

Well, then we got Gaarappolo to take over just like how Aaron Rodgers took over for Farve


Not projecting a Ryan Mallet future huh?

Hardly, lol

It's taught me how to deal with disappointment in life. I'm not joking either; being a Vikings fan has made me a better person.

That 98 season....

Hey, more power to you for sticking with them. 08, '11 and 09 weren't fun for Seahawks fans.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

Eli and Peyton have a new rap video. Not as good as last years ,"Football on your phone," but still funny.

Broncos star offensive line players are in the video looking tough by the hot dancers.

I pick the dallas cowboys for everything,that's my prediction. lol

How can the modern Packers-Bears rivalry be huge when it is so one sided in favor of the Packers? It is just like how the Broncos dominate the Raiders. It is like the Raiders were castrated when Al Davis died.RIP. Queffs will be able to talk too if they can beat the Broncos.

You don't drop over a century of rivalry just because of a decade of Chicago incompetence yeah amp I'm putting it at a decade. Come at me bro! :P

The Bears did make the Super Bowl in 2005 so it hasn't quite been a decade yet...  Would have won it too if they had an NFL QB at the time.

@choco You don't understand the borderline hatred that goes on in that rivalry even when it's one-sided.  In the 80s, when the Bears owned the Packers, it was still extremely heated.  Guys throwing Walter Payton over a bench.  All time villian Charles Martin destroying Jim McMahon's shoulder after a play was over.  Packers fans bragging when they finally won a game after Don Majkowski threw the game winning TD against us after being a full yard over the line of scrimmage (this was the early 90s).  Forrest Gregg being Forrest Gregg.  The Packers don't wear the color yellow for nothing.

Slightly off topic.  I see that Aaron Rodger and AJ Hawk took the time out of their schedule to wish Hulk Hogan a happy birthday.  How's that for priorities?

It's no fun if you bring "facts" into a trollfest...

As for your question, I see nothing wrong. Some players have talent, and therefore don't need to constantly prac- oh wait Hawk was one of them never mind.
