I always thought Will Pitt was a smart, intelligent, level headed guy....

[LynneSin]

...but it turns out he's delusional. Thinking his Patriots will actually win the Super Bowl this year instead of my beloved Philadelphia Eagles.

And to think I once admired Pitt for being the smart, progressive thinker that he is. He must hate america if he can't accept the Eagles as this year Super Bowl Champs!

[WilliamPitt]

1. Keep talking

Gonna be fun to repost these threads of yours a few months from now.

:)

[LynneSin]

4. Buddy, wanna put your money wear your mouth is

I'm a betting gal, but we'll do something more embarassing than cash. I've already got my naked ass on the line with Matcom and the World Series. I'm sure we can think of something creative for the Super Bowl

[VelmaD]

8. Honey, they gotta get to the Super Bowl first...

might wanta consider not counting those chickens during the pre-season.

[LynneSin]

9. I'm a philadelphia sports fan, if it weren't for them there chickens

we wouldn't have anything to count

:shrug:

[VelmaD]

14. Your southern accent...

is coming along nicely, btw. :)

And as a lifelong Texas Rangers and Dallas Mavericks fan I can commiserate to some degree about hope springing eternal.

But at least I've got my Cowboys. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

20. Velma I must say as an orioles fan

It was a pleasure sweeping you guys, though if you do get to the playoffs, please beat those yankee bastards, i hear the rangers have the best record against them.

[VelmaD]

24. If the Rangers beat the Yankees...

in the playoffs...I think it would be THE high point of my life. :)

[JohnKleeb]

27. I think it would be the high point of anyone's life

I want a President Kerry to issue an executive order demanding that the yankees best players be sold.

[WilliamPitt]

22. A bottle of tequila and a bottle of Febreeze

will be delivered to my residence by you, dressed in a bunny suit, the moment it becomes apparent that your pathetic wastrel team is out of the running. If, by some act of God, the Eagles do manage to stagger into a championship, the tequila and Febreeze shall be delivered to you, by me, in the aforementioned bunny suit.

Yes?

[VelmaD]

26. I volunteer...

to take pics and document the delivery for posterity. :bounce:

[jjmalonejr]

6. I'm with you, Will

Folks understimate the Pats at their peril.

[MikeG]

2. They're gonna be 4-12. Brady will be in the tub most of the year.

HEX ON THEE PATRIOTS!!

[JohnKleeb]

11. hah I hope so

I really hope things can be for the steelers the way they are in my Madden season thus far, Tommy Maddox with a 75% completion rate, Ward, Randle Al, and Burgess kicking ass receiving, etc.

[Caution]

16. And Rohan Davey NFL Europe MVP will be waiting in the wings

if Brady goes down. Though considering the Pats now have a legitimate RB in Corey Dillon, Brady should see a lot less pressure this season.

[Dan-W]

31. And again I say

a POX on *your* house, Sir!

[VelmaD]

3. Have you considered therapy...

for your delsuions. :P

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. Plus he likes Phish!

nuff said

[LynneSin]

7. Phish sings National Anthems at Philadelphia Sporting events

so THERE!!!

[Bertha Venation]

10. Bengals.

The Cincinnati Bengals will win the Super Bowl in '05.

[JohnKleeb]

12. so the NFC champion will be what the Cardinals?

:D

[Droopy]

17. Hey, the Bengals were a much improved team last year

They only missed the playoffs by one game. Although I do think calling them for Super Champs (I wish) is a little too optimistic, look for them to be in the playoffs this year.

[JohnKleeb]

23. ahh right

but isnt Palmer starting now? Well I guess lets make the Chargers the joke of the AFC now, like that?

[Droopy]

28. That's better

Who's your team, John?

[Bertha Venation]

32. One can dream, John.

Of course you may be pulling my leg. I don't know who's in which conference in football. I can't keep up with a league in which two Midwestern team are in their conference's Western Divisions and a team in a Southern Division is further north than two teams in the Northern Division. :shrug:

All I know is I go with my heart. In football, my heart says "teams with animal names!" and this year it's mammals over birds. Rowr!

[demnan]

13. Two words:

Joe Gibbs

Redskins rule!

[tom_paine]

25. Not this year, but soon the Deadskins will be scary

Patience.

[StopTheMorans]

15. The Eagles are going to 4-peat just like the Bills

I grew up a Bills fan; I know a pack of last-minute chokers when I see em!

on edit: corrected spelling

[Jo March]

18. I'm rooting for the Panthers again this year

I just love Jake Delhommme. Our team is as strong this year as we were last year. We'll definately make the playoffs again this year.

[GOPisEvil]

19. You think HE'S delusional?

LUV YA BLUE!!!!

[tom_paine]

21. Sheesh, Lynne! By saying that sort of thing, you insure it won't happen!

Plus, anyone who has lived as long as us with the Philly Curse should know that THE ONLY time to count your championships is when the final minute of the final game has ticked off.

Look, I sat in the BLOODY STANDS for the Eagles-Carolina game, so convinced was I that Third Time was the Charm, but even then I KNEW that the Philly Curse hovers over the city liek a black cloud.

(and is amplified and intesified by WIP, but that is another thread topic)

I do admit it looks good. But I refuse to make rosy predictions and I refuse to buy into the hype again knowing what I know about the Philly Curse.

Sorry. Our Iggles are going to do well, I think, 10-6, 11-5, maybe even 12 wins again not out of the question.

But we now share an NFC East, AGAIN, with two of the greatest coaches ever and two of the handful of coaches who are the equal of or better than Andy Reid.

Gonna be tough. Sorry to rain on your parade, but your words remind me of every premature boastful Philly Moment where we were so SURE...

...and then the ashes in the mouth taste.

Don't jinx us, m'dear, we have enough Jinx Karma as it is, y'know?

[LynneSin]

34. HEY!!! Don't be mean - you're invited when Will Pitt serves us tequilla

the new bet is a straight up bet on best record - loser sends the winner a fine bottle of tequilla.

However, if one of our team makes it to the superbowl then the loser has to serve the winner the tequila in the bunny suit (and the winner of the bet can invite friends).

So I'm figuring you'd probably want to be there when Will is visiting us in his Bunny Suit serving us a fine bottle of Anejo Tequila!

[underpants]

29. After the last Phish show he seems to have given up all hope.

[damnraddem]

30. Go Niners!

Or Raiders!

[GalleryGod]

33. Pitt Needs a High Colonic!He's got a "Philly Thing" going Lately

Might be he's tired of quaffing "Friggin' FRAPS" and chewing-down those awful heated, "Grinders".

No food fer you,Will on your next Philly Visit!

[LynneSin]

35. OHMYGOD I forgot about you

You'll be invited too when WillPitt shows up to serve us beverages in his bunny suit
