GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



;)

Note: I root for the Eagles out of home-town loyalty, not because I actually follow or care about football, so that's pretty much the extent of my contribution to the conversation.

Yeah but Eagles are NFC and Steelers are AFC...
They didn't play each other very often...
But now we may see them play more often.... and we might see them together in the Super Bowl.... someday...

Which pretty much shows my knowledge of football ... I just assume any Pittsburg sports team is a rival of the Philly team. ;)

Seeing as oxybe is Canadian, you may be right...

We have a hockey team in the 'Burgh too, called the Penguins...
and they are pretty good!

"the habs" is a nickname for the Montreal Canadiens, the only sports team i'll readily cheer for (hockey for those not familiar). i don't know much about the individual players, but i do like sitting down for a game of the habs.

it just seems... right, even though i'm not a sports guy. probably because i got it from my dad, who's a big habs nut.

My brother in law is a Habs fan (as is about 33% of the province of NF (42% are leaf fans, 21% cheer for other teams and the rest do not cheer for any team.)

I am a transplanted Oil cheering NF'r living in Nuck nation.

I cannot wait for reg season. Eberle, Hall, Parjarrvi are 3 large reasons to get excited when you are an Oilfan...

I knew football season was coming.  Mostly because the high schoolers are using our athletic field for practice again.  Damn uppity teens.  They should get their own field.

Oh come on now.  I'm not the only person who's gonna think of that every time Vick's name is mentioned from now on.  Especially since I'm not a sports fan, so that's the only news I'll ever hear about him.

Yeah, I'm with you.  The price of notoriety.

I didn't actually watch the game (of course), but I checked the scores.  Thanks for letting me know that they played pretty well, despite losing!
