BF_in_Indiana Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I told all the cocky Cubs fans around here that St. Louis was taking back our division this year. They didn't want to listen. Look who's playing and look who's watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look who's playing and look who's watching. 55971[/snapback] Fug the Cubs! I can't stand them. Their announcers are the most blatantly, annoying homers on the air. I can't watch a game on WGN without turning down the sound. Harry Caray was a pitiful joke, but his grandson, Chip, is unbelievably worse! As boring as Skip Caray is, at least he's professional in his call of Braves games (and no, I'm not a Braves fan). Blaming Steve Bartman for their woes is gutless, classless, and pathetic. If there was any justice, the North siders would go 0-162 every year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Bills have won two Championships 1964 Champion won 20 -7 1965 Champion won 23 -0 56059[/snapback] The Bills have one year on the Browns...40 years since the Browns' last title. And don't forget four consecutive Super Bowls...the most underrated achievement in the history of the NFL. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
