Are You Ready For Some Football? - Page 175

The Saints played their hearts out yesterday but so did the Vikings.

The last 10 seconds of the game were about the best football I have ever watched (in my short time as a fan!).

I have a soft spot for Case Keenum since Jeff Fisher let him go from the Rams.

61-yards by Keenum and caught by Stefon Diggs. It was electric.

Although I am a Vikings fan, I have been an Eagles fan since the 70’s.

Go Eagles!!

As a Browns fan, I live vicariously through other fan bases. It's good to see Eagles in the hunt. Was also rooting for Buffalo (fond memories of weekend trips with a friend back in the day. Nice, friendly town).

I'm not a fan of any of the teams playing today. So I'm pulling for anyone but those cheating Pats.

AmazonDC · 01-21-2018, 07:19 AM

Watching football today and tonight... since I am in Massachussett and My team got beat last week by My second fav. Team.. LET'S GO PATS..THE GOAT

Pats v Jags ~ I'm cheering for the Jags

Eagles v Vikings ~ I'm cheering for the Vikings

I'm volunteering as part of CREW 52, for the 52nd Super Bowl here in Minneapolis. There are 10,000 volunteers, and our jobs are to make the expected million visitors to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St Paul) feel welcome, and to answer questions about everything from directions to public transportation to the best restaurants...any thing they might need help with.

My particular job is to be at headquarters in downtown Minneapolis checking the volunteers in for their work shifts. I will also be serving coffee and hot soup, and doing anything else my team captain asks me to do.

There are festivities going on for the 10 days before the big game...lots of celebrities in town...PINK will be doing a concert and there are several other concerts and events.

I work 3 five hour shifts...and we have all been given a very nice swag bag including a winter jacket complete with a zip out liner, a scarf, mittens,
hat, long sleeve polo shirt, a thermal coffee mug, and a backpack. When we complete our 2nd work shift, we receive a pair of boot socks.

This already has been quite the experience with meeting other volunteers and posting on our closed facebook page...I have handed out rainbow buttons to GLBTQI volunteers and allies to wear on their uniforms to let visitors know we are safe to talk to.

I was NEVER a football fan before this...I was the femme in the kitchen making the eats for half time. Now....well, I guess I'll be making them before the game, LOL!

With what we're calling "the Minnesota Miracle" (Diggs making hte touchdown to win the game as the clock ticked to 0) against the Saints...I am sooo hopeful my Vikings will make it to the Super Bowl....

SKOL! SKOL! SKOL!

I have an Viking ceramic cup on my dining room table, in which I keep pens and pencils..... I like the Vikings, Viking B-movies, pretty much anything related to Vikings.

Very sad news...

Because of the Government shutdown, the Playoffs won’t be seen by military personnel overseas.

Those cheating Pats aren't even among the top ten biggest cheaters in the NFL. As a matter of fact they are below average NFL cheaters.
But people believe what they want to believe.

Although the Jags do have a lower cheat score than the Pats. 17 - 31.

First game, have no dog in this one. I have to comment on Jaguars uniform though. That two-tone helmet has to go. I also have heartburn with my teams uni’s, but that two-tone is not right. Please fix for next year.
