I need to get involved with NFL again, but need to choose a team. Was always a Dan Marino Miami Dolphins shirt wearing kid, but need some advice.

 

Which team is it worth following? Thinking about going down to Wembley to watch a game - anyone done it? Any help welcomed. Could just stick with the Dolphins and get tickets off Stub Hub for their game against New York Jets the day after the QPR game.

 

Which are the Liverpool/Man Utd of the NFL world to avoid?

Bolty, why are they called The Cheeseheads?

Think it's something to do with all their followers being raving homosexuals stuck in the closet?

Ignore these fools, knaves and incompetents Sweep. Sadly, they have descended into the abyss through too much porn and/or yoghourt knitting and are beneath contempt.

 

Wisconsin is the dairy state so it's inhabitants are known as cheeseheads. I actually have one here at my office! (a cheesehead titfer, not a native of Wisconsin).

Not addressed at you sir. I generally ignore your comments.

 

My response was directed at the moderator who asked the question.

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all of the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

 

There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

 

Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fibre of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

 

Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organisation - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

 

It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.

 

And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

 

I don't say these things because I believe in the ‘brute' nature of men or that men must be brutalised to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour -- his greatest fulfilment to all he holds dear -- is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted and bloodied on the field of battle - victorious.

Well I came runner up in my primary school table tennis competition and I was very happy with it. So tell Vince Lombardi to put that in his pipe and smoke it.

In the words of ze noble Lord Flashheart...

"What a Poof!"

(not you, Kent).

I have an even better Lombardi speech somewhere but must have misfiled it. Given to the AMA in 1958 (a fine year). When I find it, some of you fanciers of the unnatural will love it.

As the great man died of cancer in 1970, I can't.

 

It is good that you socialist types like coming second. In the coming years, I think you are in for a good number of happy days.

Got to admit, I really like Vince Lombardi quotes and I know very little about gridiron

 

Having said that I watched a programme on last year's Patriots that won the Super Bowl and I thought Julian Edelman came across brilliantly - ultra focussed and a brilliant winning attitude

 

That's about it

Bolty loves Ray Finkle.

Bolty loves Ray Finkle.

 

 

Not sure who that is and frightened (on your past record) of googling!

 

As this is an NFL thread, I thought you might have gone for that despised Bear with the Carry On film name - Dick Buttkiss.

Bolty loves Ray Finkle.

 

Don't you mean Einhorn?

Finkle is Einhorn, Einhorn is Finkle.

Finkle is Einhorn, Einhorn is Finkle.

 

Einhorn is a man!?!

 

Blissfully unaware of what you lot are on about and no intention of finding out.

 

I was under the impression that the thread title meant National Football League. Perhaps Gonzo, as he would, thought No Fucking Labia?

Back to the topic.

 

I much enjoyed jay cutler throwing another pick six and then fucking up him hamstring trying to make the tackle.

Almost as entertaining was Tony Romo having his clavicle smooshed

One ground has a swimming pool suspended above the field.

Think I'm going to support the LA Waves when Ray and Katie Holmes get it sorted

 

Their stadium will be class - no doubt!

That Jacksonville stadium with the pool, its the same bonkers asian fella that owns Fulham do you think that'd work at Craven Cottage?

Used to have a teacher (Bolton born but an Arsenal season ticket holder) who used to love American football but reckoned that only college football was worth watching as it was a purer version of the sport rather than the money rich drafting and franchises.

 

Not sure if it's true or not, but many pick a college team?
