Indeed. The only sport worth watching, IMO.
Geaux Tigers.

College football. The only 'football' worth watching.

Aww...now. I'm learning to appreciate collegiate ball. But I have this thing...their UNIFORMS make me cRaZy. I can't stand to see their legs/skin showing. It looks un-kept. Okay Yeah, I know, hard hitting ball players, etc, and it's not about "looking neat and tidy." IT's about HITS, etc...but anyways....I love FOOTBALL. I can't wait to see Prep games this year at North. :)

Mr.Radio throws plates? Egads....
I have Steelers fans in my house...and they are a surly group when they lose, too. Downright scary here at times. And when the Browns play them...pitiful.

Um.. yeah, Mr radio, we will go with that.  For the record it WAS a plastic plate.

You girls are gorgeous AND love football? Where can I find me one? But I don't bother with college ball. That sucks. REAL football is staffed by dangerous, pimp, gangsta thugs, who make MILLIONS, have gold teef, ton's o'bling, miss team meetings, flights, practices, ignore curfews, impregnate everything in sight and then strangle the coach.
Now that's sports!

Hey Mo. Do you like football?
'Cause, no way I'm spending another night snuggling on the sofa with you drinking cheap, canned Ol' Minnesota beer and watching the fu*king Westminster Dog Show.

OMG.....14 yrs old, and I nearly passed out when I met him. LOL My mom took my best friend and I to training camp so many times. WE musta gone about 20 times each summer.

Kosar was a statue, though. He couldn't run. Not that Sipe was much of an out of pocket passer either. Certainly no Elroy, err Elway by any means. Now Peyton Manning, whoa! He is a GREAT passer. Love him.

I wish there was a Fantasy Football game where you could pick your team from former years. Definitely pick Bud Grant's Viking with the famous front four of Jim Marshall, Alan Page, Carl Eller and Gary Larsen, plus Fran Tarkenton as quaterback, #44 Chuck Foreman, and kicker Fred Cox.
P.S. Hubby had to help me remember Foreman and Cox (I'm more "defensive" and hubby is "offensivee"...and he said Tarkenton would have to grow bigger gonads to finally clinch a super bowl ring.
2nd choice would be the 1986 Super Bowl Champion Bears with Refrigerator Perry, Jim McMahon and Walter Payton!  |

Bernie kosar threw ugly wobbley passes, but somehow they got there. he was fun to watch. I had a bird a long time ago I named bernie because of his big beak.
My bengals have had some great QBS. Kenny Anderson is one of the most underrated ever. Boomer was great, and now Carson Palmer is the man.

Palmer is good. But you know who on commentator from Bengals of years past I can't stand....Chris Collingsworth.

As happy as we are that football is back...pre-season is a YAWN.
