[ScreamingMeemie]

Okay...not really. But, with a little hope, we'll get the Lounge back to football...where it rightfully should be. :hi:


edited: to prevent any further injuries in the Lounge.....

1. Jeezus! Don't joke about dat!

I'm in Wisconsin, and if they traded Favre, there'd be rioting in the streets!

[Commendatori]

2. That was not nice, and I don't even like Favre. (n/t)

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. I love the Packers.

for clarification.

[Dudley_DUright]

3. Thanks for the heart attack!

[getoffmytrain]

4. god..

what a cruel joke.

[dennis4868]

5. BASEBALL IS LIFE!

Go Yankees (next season)!

[shaolinmonkey]

7. Ya, dat ain't funny ya know.

You owe me an Old Style.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. You got it! I just wanted a little football.

Overboard, eh? Packers would never ever trade him. I thought people would know that. OOPs. My bad. :hi:

[dennis4868]

9. really sad that you have to.....

make up a story to get interest in football...

BASEBALL IS LIFE!

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Really said? At least football fans are literate.

:P

[dennis4868]

13. I meant REALLY SAD!

Football is all about beating the shit out of people and gambling.....I dont see any good in it. Sorry.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. And baseball is all about duping the public.

So we are even...and you say this with a straight face? Did you forget about Pete Rose????? :shrug:

[dennis4868]

15. NO.....

I did not forget about Pete Rose....but you have to admite that the main reason football is so popular is because it is a good sport when it comes to gambling. It is hard to bet on baseball. Football is another story. When people gamle they want to watch the team they have betted on. Also, the NFL has had their own gambling scandals as well....Paul Horning I believe, right?

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. I never said it didn't. For me, football is fond memories with my father.

It's exciting and full of action. Betting rarely comes into it. I watch the Packers because I love the Packers. Every sport has its scandals...football is just a better all around sport. :hi:


Ask Shoeless Joe how hard it was.

[dennis4868]

17. ASK....

Michael Jordan and John Elway how hard baseball was....

BASEBALL IS LIFE!

[redqueen]

18. I love it... a football vs. baseball flamewar

Life is good.

:toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. ..and they said it couldn't happen.

:hi: :bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Baseball is awful and has been since 1994.

I will not be duped. John Elway is an ass for not playing for the Colts...bastard that he was.

[dennis4868]

24. So you still must be mad at football.....

when there was a work stoppage in 1987 and they used replacement players?

[Poiuyt]

10. Favre has to be with Pack to beat Washington

If the Redskins get beat in the game before the presidential election, the challenger wins. If the Redskins win, then the incumbant stays in office.

[redqueen]

11. We traded Antonio Bryant

and got Quincy Morgan.

Shouldn'ta thrown his shirt at Parcells.

[Tafiti]

20. I drafted Favre as a backup on my fantasy team...

...with Hasselbeck as my projected starter, and Favre's been kicking his ass. So, even though the Seahawks are playing Arizona, I'm starting Favre against the 'Boys. Oh, and I also have Ahman Green - what a disappointment he's been! He was my #1 pick! He still has time to make a monster comeback...keeping my fingers crossed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. He does this every year. He'll get it together and stop the fumbling

by midseason, which is upon us. :hi: FWIW, TB is my defense on my fantasy team. Oy vey...:hi:

[Tafiti]

23. I sure hope you're right!

I was actually thinking about dealing him off, but I may hold onto him for a few weeks longer to see if he improves (and stops fumbling). Word is, however, that his achilles (I think) is really bothering him and may affect his workload against the Cowboys this week.
