  1. They are having games over there so that they can feel better about calling the Superbowl winners "World Champions".

     

    Every time I hear some football commentator say "World Champions" I lose respect for them. It is stupid and arrogant when every single team is based here in the states.

     

    I know why they do it. They do it because they want to export the NFL brand to the world and to sell NFL products and to build the Superbowl into an even bigger spectacle than it already is.

     

    It is good business from a purely business perspective.

     

    Personally, I think it is gay. It makes me want to throw beer cans at people.

     

    I agree Dave except that I'd rather drink the beer than throw them at people. The term World Champions shouldn't be used because it's not applicable. The phrasing North American Champions would be more appropriate. But then Canada would need a few full time teams to make this a sure thing.

     

    If Amerigo Vespucci / Americus Vespucius were alive today he would have a thing or two to say about this matter. But then again he might not care about sports or the naming of continents.

     

    Is there a sport practically exclusive to one other country that is considered a world sport? I suppose World Series could be brought up for debate too.

     

    United States Football is pretty much half a North American sport. World sport? Not yet, but someday perhaps.

  2. It's a great show. If I recall correctly, the oldest gent showed a younger guy how to trap beavers. It was his first time but he was successful. What a beast of a beaver it was. 50+ pounds. Its stiff carcass looked like a rodent from the underworld.

  3. EJ is improving, Woods is improving, so is Kiko and McKelvin so far seems to be reborn. If Collin Brown can hold it together for this game then it will be ripe for the jests to pack into their clown car and drive away horns blaring in defeat.

     

    Bills just need to prove it can be done. It can be done and it should be done.

     

    "EJ" can stand for other things besides his given name. For now I will throw out there "Emphatic Juggernaut"

     

  4. I'll drop some F-bombs.

     

    Fortune, Fortitude, Formidable! This team is on the upswing. Let the sow Gleason wallow in his negativity. It shouldn't affect reality.

     

    Edit: I read the article and disagree with Gleason about being "short on talent." There is enough talent but more experience is needed. Also maybe Gleason is not a sow.

  5. I brought this up a few weeks ago (although other posters might have brought up the topic well before I did without me realizing it), is it possible now, with Eugene Parker being the big pain in the ass he has become, that could some teams avoid drafting players represented by him? Sure he could represent players who could become playmakers, but what would the point be in a team drafting such players if they will have to fight tooth and nail to retain them. If it's not at this point, will it eventually get to the point that teams will avoid players represented by Eugene Parker and similar agents? Would avoiding players represented by such agents send a signal to new players to avoid said agents? This could turn into an interesting predicament.
