This thread is funny...

Its two men arguing about their teams using colourful insults and pictures of fans in silly costumes.

What you men need is some good old fashioned British football hooliganism!

Get two groups of friends and meet up for some ultra-violence outside a train station, preferably at a peak time on a Saturday afternoon while families are there waiting for distant loved ones.

I saw this on the BBC..

LEEDS - England - There were full scale riots today in many major UK cities after the result for the 2018 World Cup was announced.
The English Football Hooligans Association (EFHA) were very disappointed with the FIFA decision to reject England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup.

"We've worked very hard for this bid. We haven't rioted for more than a week. The 2018 World Cup was going to be an amazing violent event on our home turf smashing heads from all over the world," Lee Travers, EFHA's secretary, told the BBC.

When the announcement was made, hooligans from all over the country couldn't hold back any longer and rampaged through city centres, libraries, shopping malls and at one town, a pet shop was reduced to rubble. "I want to know why FIFA have passed over England's bid? This is fething incomprehensible. I'm going to smash Sepp Blatter's corrupt knee caps in with a baseball bat," Mr Travers said before wading into a group of policemen in Leeds city centre.

Your team's name is the worst in professional sports, your fans are the biggest scumbags on the planet, and your team is so dumb that you let Jim McMahon tag along for the ride to steal another superbowl ring, and let him wear a BEAR'S JERSEY to the celebration.

Wow. I hope your kidding around.

so a photoshopped photo is supposed to make me what exactly?

our team name makes sense, since GB was a HUGE meat PACKING city, and we were the Acme Packers

and seriously, when was there a bear in the city limits of Chicago

Bears fans are a bit scummier than Oakland fans, and that says a lot

10-0 BABY

We would do this, if it were not for two factors.

#1 People in the U.S. have guns, where the brits do not.

#2 In the UK you have health care for every citizen, this is not true in the U.S.

And DIDM, seriously?

Blanket statements like this do no justice to anyone, please refrain from using them.

Unless, of course, you have met every Bears and Raider fan, then by all means carry on...

This was a good thread. Then Karon and Halonachos started posting.

Seriously, you guys should take it to PM so the adults can get their game on.

Edited, but the point stands. There's a reason we can't have anything nice here.

Agreed.

Wow. The Cowboys nearly through that game away against the hapless Redskins. Talk about playing down to your opponent.

This week we'll see how good the Texans can be without their QB Shaub. They've suffered a lot of injuries this year, but keep finding a way to win. We'll need to pull in at least 3 more wins to get the division.

WOW... The Eagles put on a nice defensive display, NYG had a net 29 yards rushing.
Vince Young gets the win but D-jac needs to grow the feth up. He wants big time money for acting like a chump on a 50 yard catch? He should stop listening to his agent, the same Drew Rosenhaus that had T.O. doing push-ups in his driveway...
Too bad McCoy didn't get his TD in this one, but the Giants were watching him too close.

Right, so you think that your aesthetic regard for a player has bearing on his ability.

Thank you for reminding me why I avoid discussing sports (right now I'm very bored, waiting for a flight) on the internet.

To paraphrase my old coach "If it wasn't called, it didn't happen."

And thank you for showing me that you don't read very well. The discussion started because there was holding called on the play and the camera wasn't focused on the player doing the holding and the ref waited for the play to end before throwing the flag.

@Kronk, no need to use obscenities. I had guessed that Karon was just following the tradition of Packers vs Bears in a good ole rivalry fashion. If he was completely serious about everything he said... well let's just say that it doesn't say a lot about his character. Although if his reason for liking Randy Moss is because he's a "badass" then I think it seems that he's basing it all off of aesthetic as well. I'm just surprised he didn't throw in any rap videos... oh wait he managed to throw in a remix of Randy Moss's d-bag quotes. Seriously Karon, there's a reason why he doesn't paly any more and its not because he doesn't want to play, its because nobody wants him.

I like Driver because he can hold on to the ball wihile being drilled by Polamalu in the air. I like Driver because he has gotten a 90 yard TD(yes Karon, those 8 yards do matter because those are 8 yards that Moss did not get), and I also like him because of his story. More importantly the guy can take a hit and keep the ball and can also tackle if need be, he's a great player its just that there's also Finley, Starks, Cobb, Jennings, and many others on the team who are just as capable. Finley is a giant and is often a couple feet taller than those covering him so he does do a lot of good plays as well.

Also, I feel bad for you Bears. Cutler is probably going to out for awhile thanks to breaking his thumb.

helgrenze wrote:WOW... The Eagles put on a nice defensive display, NYG had a net 29 yards rushing.

Seriously. Where was THAT all year? We'd be talking about this division differently, no?

So, will Vick be back next year as an Eagle?

Is Vick officially out for the year or something now thanks to his ribs?

I think he's done for awhile and if he does come back he might be a secondary.

halonachos wrote:Also, I feel bad for you Bears. Cutler is probably going to out for awhile thanks to breaking his thumb.

Do not feel bad for bears fans, remember the Bears made a Superbowl appearance with Rex Grossman as QB, Caleb Hanie will work just fine seeing as Matt Forte is 44% of the offense, he can just hand the ball off, and let the Defense and Special teams work for him.

anyone have any predictions for tonight?

I say Patriots 38- Chiefs 10

Too bad for the Bears with the qb situation.

Go Eagles!

What is up with the NFC East ? Weird season . . .

I can't get over the 49ers and the Lions playing so well, and how in the hell is Tebow winning so much? I just hope that Moore keeps playing hot for Miami and the NFC East stays weird.

For tonight, I don't know. I still don't know how to feel about a Patriots team without a good defense and the Chiefs have been really streaking. I think after a few off games the Chiefs will play better tonight against a soft defense but not be able to keep up with Brady.
Patriots 28 Chiefs 21

Vick yes, Meshawn no.

Bast... Think the Chiefs would have a better record if they were streaking...... Not that I want to see that.

I think that with all the new coaches on the defense, plus the new elements, its been a "work in progress" type thing. They just finally got things working... hoping they keep going.

Yeah Vick will probably be around next year. DeShawn will be likely be back, but not with the kind of money he wants.

Its "MeShawn", cause he's all about himself.

Jax has the same problem that T.O. had..... Drew Rosenhaus whispering in his ear.

Well, I don't have a favorite pro team...mainly because my state doesn't have a pro team...

But this...this is just nuts...

must have been scary for that ref...

My apologies, I assumed you were referring to the video of Hester's 16 TD returns.

That said, I'm still not sure that we're discussing the same video, as no video in this thread featured a TD return and a post-whistle flag during a Bears-Packers game.

Also, 21 didn't hold at the snap, he held ~10 yards down field after having been beaten by the gunner Bush (24).

He did not even hold, if you look at the clip there was no holding.

The amount that #21 held was about 10 times less than any offensive lineman holds on any given play.

There was only fabricated holding, and the Officials need to get the calls correct,

Alot of good football today.

Too bad most of the good will be overshadowed by Suh's shenanigans. Dude needs a season suspension without pay. If it was an isolated incident, just chalk it up to emotion and testosterone, but this guy is as dirty as they come. No mercy, please.

The Harbaugh Bowl was good old smashmouth football. Although it was a low score game, it was still pretty intense. 9 sacks on the 49ers QB and the guy was still standing. Tough young man.

Yes there was some good football today, even the dolphins/Cowboys game was good, I do not think anyone expected that.

There has got to be a point where the league says that is quite enough concerning ' Suh's shenanigans' but Suh needs to own up to his play, he needs to be a man and admit that the penalty that got him ejected today was not an accident. He should be suspended, for a game, then the next time it happens suspend him for eight games, then if it happens again after that he should be banned from the league.

The underlined has been posted, Page 9 My first video, titled "Johnny Knox and Devin Hester Punt Return FAKE for TD- Chicago Bears 2011"

and he did not hold at all, watch it again, listen to the announcers.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/240/399781.page#3592136

He needs a season to think about what he did and get anger management classes

I think Suh should have made a real statement by tearing Rodgers' head off and rolling it down the pike like a bowling ball. If you're gonna get a penalty...

Seriously, all this mock outrage I hear about Suh is from people who'd love him on their team. And for the record, I have ZERO rooting interest in the Lions.

Suh is the school-yard bully that never grew up.

Think Peter Pan for felons.

Perhaps a season-ending suspension will sober up this dumbass.

This is the NFL not UFC. Suh is a disrespectful idiot.

Philly already has one petulant, arrogant brat with zero self-control...... But enough about Jackson...

Suh needs therapy.

well when it comes to my favorite sport, MMA, being called UFC I do get literal. The company that is the largest in the MMA world is the UFC.

but yea, this isn't MMA it is the NFL
