Superbowl

Re: Superbowl

It's a franchise isn't it ?

It's a personal attraction innit, much akin to a woman.
When they look as good as Eva Green does, you get drawn to them.
Joe Montana and Jerry Rice were as attractive to me (in sports terms of course) as Eva Green is in a... different way, obviously. :hehe:

Re: Superbowl

Re: Superbowl

Been a 49er fan since 1984, been to a couple of games over the years. Very tough ask to win in Philadelphia tonight but should be a good watch, as should the Bengals Chiefs game.

What made you a 49 ers fan ?

My mate watches any game , my other mate like St Louis .......why I don't know

Re: Superbowl

I used to watch the games on american TV and I had an american buddy who used to explain the calls to me. He was a 'Dolphin' so we usually watched their games. You get attached to a team.
But they were good then. They broke every record in the book in '72

Cool , you watched it on American TV over here , did you go over and see them ?

They represent the State of Wisconsin really and the fans own the club, they have sold out every home game since 1960 and there are over 130,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets population of green bay about the same as Newport

Re: Superbowl

Best 4 teams, both games would grace a Super Bowl (I know it’s not possible).

Mahomes v Burrow, Hurts v Mr. Irrelevant

Chiefs to beat the Bengals. Head says Eagles, heart says 49ers

For once I don’t mind which of the 4 win it, they’re equally deserving.

It's great that people have an interest in it and a knowledge of the game

It's not of any interest to me although I do find the names of the teams interesting

Minnesotta vikings ......based upon the northern European origin of settlers to the area ?

Green bay packers .....something to do with the food industry ?

Vikings, yes Vikings landing in North America.

Packers being off the back of the team being set up by an employer of a Meat Packing Factory and persuading them to sponsor the team.

St Louis Cardinals baseball? The Rams headed back to LA a few years ago.

As for the 9ers, I saw them lose a playoff game against Washington when the NFL first came on and liked their name. After that I followed them and got into reading counter culture stuff based around San Francisco from beatniks to hippies. Always enjoyed visiting the city and area, very liberal place in general.
