TX Bluebonnet Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I've become a big Bears fan. Caleb Hanie, backup QB, is from my hometown (my brother was one of his high school coaches) and I'm hoping he gets to make more appearances this year. BTW: I'm not going to hold your love for Favre against you.;) Thanks! I really don't know anything about the Bears. I'll have to look into them. Wait, I'm supposed to be narrowing down my choices not adding to them. Oh well!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8circles Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 BTW: I'm not going to hold your love for Favre against you.;) Am I the only one insanely bothered by the pronunciation of this name? To say that I'm not a football fan is an understatement so my dislike of this person is based solely on his name & his mispronunciation of it. The few times I've mentioned it IRL the response is always "its French". Yes, I know, I minored in French. French doesn't mean reverse the V & the R. Insanely bothered.:glare: Who knows why I even care... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy+2 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 DA BEARS!!! L.O.V.E. them!!! Always have, always will. Used to watch the Mike Ditka show with my dad every Sunday before the games. Ahhh...Good times.:D BUT, I will love them even more when they finally get enough 'kahunas' to get rid of Cutler. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don't mean to offend. But your avatar creeps me out. No offense to GB. lol..that's okay, it creeps me out too... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 :hurray: Football! We're Lions fans here. It's painful, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger :D. Actually, the Lions are looking like they could be pretty good this year.....but talk to me again around November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hey, does Detroit have Javed Best still? That guy is a dream and a half! He reminds me of Barry Sanders back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmamainva Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Maybe you ladies can help me. I am having an identity crisis of sorts. I love, love, love Brett Favre. I know what you're going to say but I still love him. Anyway, I don't know what to do now that he has retired. I really like Aaron Rodgers and I think he is going to have an awesome career! I also like Clay Matthews for obvious reasons! But I love Colt McCoy (hey, I'm from Texas) and you just can't get much better than Tom Brady. Do you see a pattern developing here? Hehe. I just don't know who to root for this year. I can't stand Dallas or Tony Romo and Houston is just so lame (the team not the city). What do you think? My favorite up and coming quarterback is Sam Bradford, Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Oklahoma who is now the starting QB for Saint Louis. He's also the first Native American to win the Heisman (just a little football trivia for your Wednesday morning!) Sam first came to my attention because everyone kept telling me that our oldest son looks exactly like him -- and he does! So I started following his career and now I root for the Rams every chance I get! Now...not sure if you can cheer for a Sooner or not, being from Texas. ;) I'll make him my new avatar in honor of football season -- and he's such a cutie. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're pretty excited about him. We could use another Barry Sanders :001_smile:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Yes! We're pretty excited about him. We could use another Barry Sanders :001_smile:. His turf toe issues seem to be behind him -- which is a good thing cause the backup the Lions drafted, Mikel Leshoure, blew out his Achilles in practice and is already done for the season. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was having a good camp, too. My husband said the Lions were actually thinking about talking to Ricky Williams for a back up RB. I hope he's still got some gas left!

A little weird, but when I read the Twilight books, I pictured Jacob looking like Sam Bradford.:tongue_smilie: Patriots fans in this house!!!

He's very sexy with short hair. We're not huge NFL fans (HUGE college football fans) but we cheer for the Lions now because of Suh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
