Offside Number 76 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The headline (link below) says it all: "Saints Pip San Diego at Wembley." "Pip." Look, my fine British cousins, American football teams do a lot of things to each other. They "beat," or "smother," or "decimate," or "overwhelm" each other. But one thing that they absolutely do NOT do, is "pip" each other. Or anyone else. "Pip" can be (1) a character that your writer Mr. Dickens came up with, or (2) a spot on a die, or (3) someone who controls prostitutes but who cannot afford an "m." But it CANNOT have anything to do with football. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_spor...all/7688785.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Brees' Saints "triumphed 37-32 over his former side" ... Fantastic stuff. I like the debate thread on that page, too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A42682089 Who's the best current quarterback in the NFL: Tom Brady is ineligible due to long-term injury but he's the best in my opinion. After him I'm going Brees. 1 - Drew Brees 2 - Daunte Culpepper 3 - Brett Favre 4 - Jeff Garcia 5 - Trent Green 6 - Eli Manning 7 - Peyton Manning 8 - Donovan McNabb 9 - Steve McNair 10 - Michael Vick 11 - Other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 "Pip" can be (1) a character that your writer Mr. Dickens came up with, or (2) a spot on a die, or (3) someone who controls prostitutes but who cannot afford an "m." But it CANNOT have anything to do with football. A Pip, of course, could also be a backup to Glady Knight. But...yeah. Not so much a football thing. Still, we shouldn't get on the fine folks of London. I'm told they're going to like us again, soon, so let's be cordial now that they've decided to let back us in their good graces.
