Playoff picks

Did they suddenly age and add 40lbs in the second?

No . But they did change out of those very sexy gold shorts into white skirts that hid their ASSetts.

I Had a tough time paying attention to the National Anthem or anytime Tony Siragusa spoke on the sidelines --Just loved those Gold shorts !!!

I heard the announcer say Houston Texans yesterday and that didn't sound right to my ears.....wasn't it Houston Oilers?? That's what I knew growing up.

The Houston Oilers are now the Tennessee Titans. Try to keep up.

I'm not into sports, but it seems really stupid to have a team (houston oilers) and then you don't have a team 'cause it goes somewhere else..............but then you get another team (texans). Either your town can support a team or they can't.

I don't think L.A. got anything after the Rams.

(i am walking away from football, forever!! i became a saints fan to avoid the heartache. life was easier before drew brees came to new orleans......)

Football will always break your heart.

Time out.

LA had the Raiders for a very short period of time.

It is not the case if a city can support a team, in the case of the Oilers, they (the owners) had a better offer in Nashville.

NFL is a business and the owners do what they feel is the best for their bottomline.



(Green Bay is the only team unable to uproot and move.)

I , inadvertantly, see some of this with The Housewives of Bev. Hills. The one lady, Adrienne Maloof ,with family, owns Sac. Kings. They mentioned about maybe moving the team too.

Why can't Green Bay move?

They are the only non-profit, community owned major league professional sports team in the United States.

I never knew this, so I had to look it up and check it out. They even have volunteers work the concessions and shovel the field. And according to what I read, no other team can duplicate this scenario....."It’s actually written in the N.friend.L. bylaws that no team can be a non-profit, community owned entity."

Interesting.

Yes, the community comes out to shovel the stands in Green Bay.
This week, a massive snow removal crew, of paid volunteers, paid owners and Packer supporters, cleaned the stands, bench seating, for the weekend playoff game.

(I believe it was 10 dollars an hour.)

It is a incredible showing of community, fellowship and ownership.

It is the "must" see on most NFL bucketlists.

I also never knew that.
