I don't think you understand how fanhood works, Dom. "Fan" being short for "fanatic," and all. Sports are a civic religion. Of course the faithful say "we." Christians say "we," even though they're not Jesus, or angels, or even priests.

I disagree. I'm a die-hard Buffal Bills fan. I never say "we," however. I always say THEY sucked this week or THEY were great this week.

People who say "we" when talking about their favorite team are delusionally pathetic, IMO.

Chrisstians say "we" because they are a part of the "team."

Re: Eagles meltdown!!! HAHAHAH
 

It kind of bugs me too, but I'm sure I'm guilty of it from time to time. I guess using "we" makes it easier to identify yourself as a fan of a particular team to those who don't know.

btw, this thread is dreadful and it drives me insane every time it gets bumped. So I figured I'd at least play a part in sending myself to the asylum.

TO will be in San Diego next year and no I am not a Chargers fan.

That's a nasty stretch for the Boys. The one at Washington is really key since a loss gives the Skins the tiebreaker.

Definitely a nasty stretch...best-case scenario is 3-2 (unless Carolina clinches home field by 12/24 and rests everyone), which I think they can do. If they beat the Lions Sunday (a scary trap game), that makes them 11-5. If that doesn't take the division, it certainly gets a wild card.

They can win the division this year and win a playoff game, but 2006 is when they'll really be poised to make a serious run. Carolina is winning the NFC.

Seattle has an easier schedule = home-field = Carolina comes to Seattle = Seattle wins NFC.

Carolina is a more complete team + tougher schedule/beating quality opponents = Carolina wins NFC. Seattle will probably choke in the divisional round anyway [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The most likly destinations for T.O. next season are
Atlanta
Denver
Dallas
Miami

I'd say the favorites are Denver or Miami if they ever get a QB.
I mean Jake Plummer gives the finger to his own fans...so T.O. wouldn't be any worse. Plus imagine those Plummer bootlegs with T.O. running down field instead of Rod "old man river" Smith.

He isn't going to Dallas unless its short-term, incentive-laden, and includes a clause to cut/deactivate him at the first sign of trouble with minimal impact on the salary cap. Even then, I seriously doubt it. No question Jerry would love the marketing value, but he hired Parcells for a reason and Parcells says he's "too old to deal with thugs and jerks."

I think he ends up in Atlanta.
