JRammit Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Im sure we have some sports fans here... What is your game and who is your team?? For me.. There is only ONE sport!.. And the season starts in 2 weeks!!! Football season is sacred to my family, its the only time of year we all get together.... We may talk and text occasionally durring the summer... But come fall, we all meet every Sunday for grilled food, grid iron and cold beer! And we are an odd bunch!... I was raised just north of DFW in a Cowboy HATING family... I never understood why, but i knew better than to question it... Your second favorite team could be whoever you choose, but your favorite team was whoever was playing Dallas! It is still this way today, and it makes for a much more interesting Sunday.... Instead of focusing on one game, our interest is spread over several It is a verry colorful event!... We have fans of: Broncos, 49ers, Redskins, Giants, Vikings, Colts and Saints When one plays the other it gets even better!... Well, maybe not for the neighbors Edited August 27, 2015 by JRammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRammit Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Just so happens, my brother (also a Broncos fan) is engaged to another 49ers fan... I think she'll fit right in! Edited August 27, 2015 by JRammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 My team is LFC. Once our best players are over the hill, we send them to US to collect their pension dividends. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) "The other football" ha ha! I played "soccer" as a kid... I developed a deep respect for the sport, it is one of the most physically demanding games on the plannet, rivaled only by boxing imo (done that too) I still enjoy watching soccer sometimes, and i do spend more than i would like to admit on pay per view to see a good boxing match...

alsworms Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Warriors, Giants, Niners here.......and in no particular order. Bay area all the way!!!!! Someone PLEASE beat the stupid Dodgers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Ive never even been to Cali... Seeing a Niners home game is on the bucket list, but itll probably never happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Haven't been to the new stadium yet, but a few friends have been there and weren't really impressed. They need to get back to winning ways and OWN that park like they did at the 'Stick! On a side note, I'm getting sick and tired of people trashing the Niners. I think they'll be okay this year. They have a ton of young talent who just need to prove it on the field. Should be an interesting year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hope youre right!... Cause they also lost a ton of old talent! I miss the days when we got to watch the same team every year... Now a new season is like the first day of school... New class mates, new teachers and new stupid rules!

JRammit Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 And Gore for a rugby player?? Although i do like the addition of the zone run game...

Kid had an arm, but didnt know what to do with it... Kap has the same arm and more... If he can learn to spread the ball around.... Watch out!!!!!

Would I rather have had Gore hang around another year to mentor those guys? Sure.....but it wasn't meant to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 We live close enough to the Texas Motor Speedway to see the glow from the "big hoss" screen on race nights Im not a big fan, but my youngest son is... He's been infatuated by anything with wheels since he was a toddler Occasionally ill watch the end of a race on TV with him... One of these days ill take him down the road to see it in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I fell in love with the NFL in "85" when the bears had Perry and Sweetness. They also had Jerry Richardson as a line backer who brought the NFL to the Carolina's where I live and I have been a Panthers fan ever since. Please don't hold this southern thing against me. Earnheardt wasn't bad either. Neither is Jr. lol Edited September 3, 2015 by Musky Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I had an old age moment and really got my players mixed up in the above post. Jerry Richardson was a wide receiver who caught passes from Johnny Unitus (sp) way back in one of the earlier Super Bowls The line backer for the bears in 85 was Ron Rivera who is now the coach of the Carolina Panthers. Sorry for the earlier brain freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I do that all the time, and im not even old yet (ha ha!) I think its about time for a few more expansion teams.. Not sure how they would split the divisions up??.. But now we have San Antonio and LA pulling for a team.. Id hate to see any other city lose theirs like Houston and Cleveland did for a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I would not recognize any NFL names of today, but I used to follow the game back in the 80's and 90's. The obvious names that spring to mind are Joe Montana and Jerry Rice at the 49ers. Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith of the Cowboys. Dan Marino was a joy to watch, John Elway too. UK didn't show that much NFL, and it tended to be the showcase stuff, so there are a lot of stars of that era that I probably never saw. UK sports fans tend to scoff at NFL, with all the padding and the stopping and starting. But this is because they never took time out to look at the game properly. This from the people that brought the world test cricket, Pfft! I like Australian rules too. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Dan Marino was one of my heroes, even though I'm a huge Niners fan. And of course, all due respect to all the legends you mentioned! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Dave, they arent scoffing anymore... For the past several years there has been at least one NFL game played in London each season... Last year there was even talk of London wanting its own franchise As for your rugby.. I dont know much about it, but so far im quite impressed with Jared Hayne (former rugby star going NFL)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
