I already made my Week 1 picks. I doubt they'll change much, unless a major injury happens or something

Post by Just "Dan" is Fine, Thank You on Aug 26, 2007 13:57:33 GMT -5
Want explanations? Cowboys: Heralded as "America's Team." I never voted for them. Plus, Jimmy Jones annoyed me. Yankees: Pushed down my throat via the media for EVERYTHING... they lose, they are on first. They win, on first. They have an off day, reported on first! My entire life it's been that way. Eh. Braves: I first of all hate Ted Turner. Secondly, I didn't like the fact that I was able to see EVERY SINGLE BRAVES GAME and never an Angels game. Plus, TBS just had this weird feeling for me... too southern for my tastes. Sharks: This team is only good against the Ducks; Their entire franchise history has placed REALLY GOOD TEAMS together, but they only know how to beat the Ducks year after year. They can't even get by the lowly Senators during the Senators nasty years; but the Ducks? Easy W for them. Lakers: Kobe. Kobe. Kobe. I miss Shaq. And I hate how everyone in LA is all over their jock. I went to a playoff game just to root against them. Then, after the game, realized I was spending money which *supported* them, so have yet to do that again. Cowboys: It's a nickname, and one given to them before you were born. Get over yourself. Yankees: In the playoffs every year since 1996. Not like they got this attention from 83-94. Braves: I also hate the guy who gave us WCW and donates millions to charity, founded the Goodwill Games, and retired from broadcasting to go into environmentalism. Smurf that guy. Lakers: Lit the country on fire in the late 90s and brought basketball back to the top. And hating because other people like them?

In Meats defense he said he don't like moniker of America's Team, because it implies everyone likes them. Same reason I'm getting sick of the Red Sox. As for the Yankees, it might not be as bad on you since you live in NY but you don't know what it's like to get more games and news of a team you don't care about then your local or regional team. For me, I just about get more Yankees games then Braves games and I'm in NC! In Meat's case he probably gets more Yankees news and games then Angels stuff. Lakers... I never liked them, though I've liked people that play for them.

Lakers: Lit the country on fire in the late 90s and brought basketball back to the top. And hating because other people like them? Get over myself? Get over MYself? Kid, let me explain something to you: The Cowboys were NOT branded "America's Team" before I was even born. Maybe next time you try to put me down, or put me in my place, or put me somewhere, you read what is posted TWICE; that way, maybe you'll be able to actually, I don't know, comprehend what is being talked about, before showing the board how much of a fool you truly are. The Yankees DID get this attention prior to 94. Or have you forgotten how Steinbrenner is a household name? Come on, get serious here. The Yankees are the biggest organization in Major League Baseball, if not the most known in all of professional sports. When they are getting more coverage than a team that plays 5 minutes away from me, on LOCAL television, as well as national, it gives new meaning to overexposure. And if you are judging popularity based on play-off appearences, then why weren't the Braves on Sportscenter, the local news, or CNN every f'n day during the decade known as the '90s? The Braves. Ted Turner. I don't want to get political, so I shall stay out of THAT one. Just let it be known; just because a guy gives money to charity doesn't mean he is a saint. Learn about guys before you praise them, please. Go ahead. I'll wait. ... ... And the Lakers, when they lose, have no fans. But lo and behold, they win a game, and all of So Cal is admist in Laker Flags. As for basketball in the 90's, I'm pretty sure that was all Jordan. Then again, since I am so full of myself, I could be wrong. By the way, there are no more fickle fans then Laker fans, my dear friend. Besides, if I choose to not like a team, then it's my choice. If I choose to cheer for a team, it is my choice. ... ... And yeah. Only around 20 slots left for the Yahoo game.

Just another daily update. We still have 25 slots left for people to sign up. Come on crappers don't miss your chance to see who the king or queen of the NFL is here at Wrestlecrap. If you miss this chance you will never be popular in high school, college or in life. You'll become a lonely drifter that eats moldy bread, and I don't want to see that happen to anyone here. So come on sign up!

Oh yeah we are officially past the half way point. A big shout out to The Toledo Rocket for being the 26th person to join up. Now we just need 24 more people, and we will have filled out quota of 50 "teams" for the pick 'em.

I won this thing last year where I work...only it was just our hometown team, the Chiefs. I only called two games wrong, and got the W-L record right.
And you can officially deem me #27

if we can get 50 teams, that'll be INTENSE!. I'd wager that as long as we keep this thread bumped, registration will peak once football season draws nearer.
