Are you ready for some football?

[Flybye]

Yeah, baby!!!
Give me the couch.
Give me the fire.
Give me the hubby.
Give me the remote. Well, okay, I'll give on that one :D

Today should be fun. Don't know if I can handle 8 hours of putting the pig in the pen, might have to do some of it on the trainer!

Who's your picks?

[KnottedYet]

I don't even know what you are talking about. :confused:

8 hours of football?

[Flybye]

It is the playoffs to determine who goes to the Superbowl today.

AFC
San Diego at New England
3 pm EDT
and

NFC
NY Giants at Green Bay
6:30 pm EDT

That's what I'm talking about baby!

[KnottedYet]

Ah, that's how it goes on for 8 hrs. I thought maybe today was the Superbowl... and 8 hrs would be a *very* long game! :D

[solobiker]

I don't even know what you are talking about. :confused:

8 hours of football?

I didn't even now the season was over...so of course I do not know,who is playing until now. Guess that should keep plenty of people off the road so maybe I should brave the cold and go out for a ride:rolleyes:

GO PACK!

That is all I have to say :D

[maillotpois]

My mom's visiting from Maine, where she's become a die hard Patriots fan. DH (and DD) has been and always will be a die hard Chargers fan. I'm hosting a 70th birthday football party for my mom today with all my in laws. This should be interesting. :rolleyes:

[kelownagirl]

When's the superbowl?

[maillotpois]

maybe in a couple weeks??

I can tell you when the Tour of California starts and what each stage is... :D

[Wahine]

I'm new to the US. But I loved watching Canadian Football. Slightly different game but gives me the background I need to understand NFL.

So back home my Alma Mata and favorite CLF team both wore Green and Gold. So I automatically started cheering for the Packers when watching here in the US (Much to DH and the Neighbor's embarassment).

It's very nostalgic for me to watch Green Bay. 1 deg F, snow on the field, uniform colours..... It's just like Edmonton. :D:D

And it reminds me of why I live here now. Did I mention that I rode my bike outside yesterday.:)

[OakLeaf]

GO PACK!

That is all I have to say :D

Go Pack Go!

I'm really a Bengals fan, but you've got to actually root for someone once in a while :rolleyes: besides who can resist Bret Favre?

[Trek420]

GO PACK!

That is all I have to say :D

I like Brett Farve (sp?) He always seems to be having a good time on the field. He seems like a good guy, flying aid to the Katrina Survivors at his own expense he did more than the P'resident did (ahem, not to politicize football) etc. I've never read anything bad about him such as gossip, dog fight rings, domestic violence and besides ... isn't he the oldest NFL QB? It's inspiring to see him scamper around the field and then on the sideline take off his helmet and see grey hair.

I'd like to see him get another shot at the title. I don't think anyone can beat New England 'cept maybe age and stealth before youth and beauty :rolleyes:

[surgtech1956]

Super Bowl's February 3rd:D

[KnottedYet]

Hey, surg, I like the new avatar.

[Trek420]

Super Bowl's February 3rd:D

It should be a national cycling holiday. We have the roads to ourselves. :)

[SouthernBelle]

I don't have any preference since my Titans are long gone.

Although I would kinda like to see Brady and the Pats get beat. :p

[surgtech1956]

Thanks Knot.

I use to like New England till all this video taping - so called cheating. It would be nice to have different teams, then the same ones. I hope SD beats them, but don't think they will - I bet they wished they were playing in SD. I like the Packers - I think they'll win - the Giants - Manning isn't consistent.

I guess its NCAA Women's Basketball now.

Just my 2 cents

[surgtech1956]

SouthernBelle - I'm with you - I'd like to see that 'pretty boy' Brady get sacked about 50 times today:D

[Zen]

I have to work but all night long I'll be thinking about

The Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field

[Flybye]

That is absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PinkBike]

8 hours? try All Day!

i'm on the couch with the tv on and the laptop on my lap watching all the pregame hoopla. later i'll transfer to the trainer and watch from there for about an hour.

i had lost interest in football after John Elway retired, but regained it when i saw Randy Moss play in Minnesota. the man is an incredible athlete.

so i'll be on the bandwagon for Randy and the Pats.

the super bowl is in PHX, on the west side (denise's neighborhood) but the biggest news for me is Lance Armstrong will be at one of the celeb parties here in Scottsdale.

[Trek420]

I have to work but all night long I'll be thinking about

The Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field

Yes, let's hope the Giants brought a lot of wool :D

[surgtech1956]

What's with these football players when they score? They have to jump at each other - like a bunch of fairies:D

[Trek420]

Oh noooooo, these are manly men :D There's no homoerotic component to sports at all.

D@mn the remodel and the mess. I've got one of my bikes set up in the living room to get a little work out in. Haven't done this in a while, feels good. San Diego needs to calm down and quit throwing the ball away.

Bite your tongues!

Sorry ladies - my team just put away their 18th win of the season.... Go Pats!

p.s.
I am a New England transplant, but have been cherring for the Pats for awhile now, much to my brother's chagrin!

[Flybye]

Bite your tongues!

SheFly, Flybye, we think alike! BAM!!!! Next...........

[SlowButSteady]

Can someone please tell me at what temperature human flesh begins to freeze?

How in the devil are those guys out there bare-armed playing football with the temperature what it is at Lambeau Field???? Do they not get frostbite?

I know, the sidelines are heated and they have handwarmers in their pockets and toewarmers, but how do they not get frostbite?

[KnottedYet]

Is football still on? I turned on the TV, but I can't find any football. (no cable, so I have 5 channels to choose from)

[Trek420]

wool? ;) Ok San Diego did better when I was watching from my bike.

I'll get back on for the 2nd half to protect GB's lead.

[KnottedYet]

I found football on Fox. Now I gotta go get SKnot. I've seen more ads than football, so I don't know if they are still playing.

[IFjane]

That the weather is nice and warm on Super Bowl Sunday so I can ride and ignore all the hype.

I enjoy football but.....I'd rather watch real football (a.k.a. soccer). At least those athletes play without a break for 45 minutes a half, instead of run play/time out/grunt/run play/smash/time out/commercial break/line up/commercial break/grunt........
Of course, I would not be such a sour-grapes if the Seahawks had beaten Green Bay, OR if Tiki was still playing for the Giants...

And what kind of name is PLAXICO???? :rolleyes:

Jane is slinking off now.....

[luv'nAustin]

Go-Pack-Go!

Anyone have tickets to the Super Bowl?

[KnottedYet]

Temp -4, windchill -24. Whoa.

I'm sure the players have ways to handle it, but what about the fans?

(and what about the chickie in the cheese bikini?)

[mtbdarby]

GO PACK!

Now this is football. Last week was the snow, this week the cold. MAN, I love football up here. It's not the same when they play in a dome or in a normally warm place. But that's just me. My brains been in the cold for a very long time:D

I'm getting very nervous in these last few minutes. Trek, get on that bike!

[Brandi]

I can not believe NY missed that kick! That kick would have been it! Bet they have a new place kicker next year!
Someone tell the new york coach to put something on he's face. He is going to loose he's nose.
Oh 4 degrees cooler now! Ouch!

[Trek420]

I can not believe NY missed that kick! That kick would have been it! Bet they have a new place kicker next year!

I dunno, d@ng it he kicked it through the uprights when it counted. Who's riding on Superbowl Sunday?

[OakLeaf]

I'm so depressed..... :mad::(

[KnottedYet]

Someone tell me who won?

None of this is making sense to me, and the commentators are talking like Green Bay won, but then the ads for hats and T-shirts say NY are the champs.

[Flybye]

And what kind of name is PLAXICO???? :rolleyes:

Jane is slinking off now.....



A very original one. Reminds me of plexi-glass or Texaco. Very strange!

Knotted, the Giants took it.
I can't believe that the Giants took it!! SAD!!! He kicks it when it counts.

And yes, the bikini girls must have been drunk out of their minds.

I rode the trainer for a very short time during the 1st game - 30 minutes or so - I HATE THE TRAINER. I would rather peel scabs off of my eyeballs. There, I feel better now that I have said that. I will get on the stupid thing again, I just know it.

[kelownagirl]

NY won. Not that I was watching.

[Aint Doody]

Yahoo! The Giants won. Little Eli is going to the Superbowl just like his big brother, Peyton. I know there are some other Ole Miss grads here that were happy to see that. I like Brett, too--another Mississippi boy. But Eli went to Ole Miss--like his father. I will really date myself now. I was at Ole Miss when Archie was. Olivia lived next door to me my freshman year. Or maybe I should say I lived next door to her!

[Trek420]

The streets are ours, the roads are clear .... are you watching the game or riding?

[Crankin]

We'll be on the last day of our trip to VT. I do not like football. I was praying the Patriots lost so I didn't have to hear any more about the them on the news. I don't care where Tom Brady is going to buy a house... I don't care if they win, either.
We always go out to eat at restaurants where it is hard to get in on days when there is a football play off, etc.
Now, the Red Sox are a different story. But, even though I like baseball, I don't sit and watch it, unless I am at home, with nothing else to do. It's not like, "come on over and we'll watch the game."

[bmccasland]

Go SAINTS!!!

[sfa]

Super Bowl Sunday = GREAT day to go out for dinner! We have one kid with autism and one kid with food allergies, so restaurants are normally more trouble than they're worth. On Super Bowl Sunday they are deserted and no one minds if one kid hangs out under another table the whole time and the chef has plenty of time to answer questions about ingredients in food.

I have no idea which teams are even playing this year (not the Ravens - I know that much)--I'm justl looking forward to a relaxing night out!

Sarah

[kermit]

I'm here in Miami and work at the airport, the Saints are coming in Monday. I am hoping to score a peek at Drew Brees! He's a stud!

[Flybye]

the streets are ours, the roads are clear .... Are you watching the game or riding?

watching the colts do some whomping :)
i can ride during the day and watch the game at night - wooooot

[GLC1968]

Go SAINTS!!!

Ditto!

[KnottedYet]

When is the Superbowl?

[Trek420]

Not this weekend (which has the Probowl I think). The Superbore is next Sunday. :D Go Saints!

[HoosierGiant]

We bleed blue!
Go, Colts!!!

[spokewench]

I'm even thinking about travelling to my sister's house in Tucson (4 hours away) just to go to a Super Bowl Party! Oh, and yeah, maybe to visit my sister and parents?

:D

[StressFree]

I am really going for the Saints, I hate the Colts with a passion!!! Just the way they play football is so methodical and boring! Go Saints!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PinkBike]

I love football. The precision, almost poetry.

I like Peyton Manning, his fields smarts, but I feel for the Saints.

I'm gonna miss Kurt Warner, he is a great man, ESPN guys said the game of football is better because he played. The Cards playing in the Super Bowl was sooooooooooo exciting.

I'll definitely watch the game, but I think the Colts are going to eat up the Saints -- we'll see if heart and desire (Saints) can overcome precision and skill (Colts).

[ASammy1]

Go SAINTS!!!

Yay! I'm on the "Who Dat!" train! My husband had a Physics class w/ Drew Brees at Purdue :p

[Trek420]

Don't tell me, don't tell me .... I went on a short short spin around the 'hood. Just catching up on the game.

'cept how'm I going to do that when I can't zip past the ads? :confused: sip past the football and catch up on the ads? :cool: :rolleyes:

[KnottedYet]

It's time for PUPPY BOWL VI!!!!!!

I'm just watching to see The Who....

8 hours?

I read this week in a reputable news source that there is only about 11 minutes of actual game play.

[Trek420]

Don't tell me, don't tell me, I'm still way behind you but at the 2 minute warning.

The ads have been lack luster so far, even with Lance. :confused: Any favorites?

[tulip]

I didn't watch the game (no TV) but I looked at the score updates. It's a good day for my family! Whoo-hoo!

[Zen]

or want to see it again-

[bmccasland]

The city went absolutely WILD last night. :D:cool::D Fireworks, people honking horns. Drove by a fire house on my way home, the engines were out, lights flashing, the guys waving at the cars, cars honking horns in return. It was happily insane. Almost every intersection where I had to stop, people were tooting their horns - and we generally don't honk horns around here. The Saints practice facility is near my neighborhood, and it was darkened last night. But I'm certain, the markee will change today.

By the time I got to my neighborhood (45 minutes post game) it was calmed down.

Next scheduled party is the Saints Parade on Tuesday. There'll probably be Saints themed throws from the Carnival floats for the remainder of the season. Things will finally calm down on Ash Wednesday.

The city really needed this. Sorry to Indianapolis, but we really needed this. Bless you Boys.:D

[Flybye]

The city really needed this. Sorry to Indianapolis, but we really needed this. Bless you Boys.:D

Forgiven, on behalf of Indianapolis. Glad to hear that your team won. Mine didn't and I am fine with it because of this exact reason.

[Trek420]

Congratulations, Saints! I was in San Francisco when Dwight Clark caught "the catch" and you could hear and feel the city erupt. I suspect it was much the same with that interception at 3 minutes left.

Well done. Enjoy the party. :D

[kermit]

I am so happy that they won and the fans who came to this town were a big help. Everywhere I looked at the airport were New Orleans colors, a group effort with a great outcome! Who dat?

[OakLeaf]

Congrats Saints! Y'all had me worried that first quarter...

[NbyNW]

Congratulations to Saints and Saints Fans! Enjoy the afterglow!

[GLC1968]

There was so much jumping up and down and cheering and screaming from my normally subdued husband that our animals were all freaked out yesterday. ;)

He is one happy 'Aint's' fan. :)

Congratulations to New Orleans and all of the Gulf Coast - it's about time you guys got a great reason to celebrate!

[kermit]

Got to see the boys leave the airport about 10 minutes ago. Jeremy Shockey was super cool and worked the crowd. The owner jumped up and down like a 5 year old. The Fire Dept. gave them the water cannon salute...too cool!

[Trek420]

The roads are ours!! Who's riding?

[Catrin]

The roads are ours!! Who's riding?

I would be if there were less of that white, slippery stuff around - at 36 degrees I would take it otherwise!

[withm]

I got 20 miles in - but my fingers were froze. Sidi winter shoes rock! First good ride of the year. Woo hoo!

[Owlie]

DBF's dad called and asked if we were watching it. Our TV is hooked up to a Playstation and a DVD player. No! I just checked the scores so I can talk to normal people if need be. :p
