turtlensue: Guess what the first game of the 2008-2009 NFL season is?

[Pale Blue Dot]

That's right: Sept. 4th, Washington Redskins vs. the World Champion NY Giants, at Giants stadium.

It's a shame the Redskins will start their season with a loss. :P

On edit: added the "World Champion" part. :D

[TZ]

1. You are cocky.....

Ask temeah what happens when you start braggin about beating another team.....:P

[Dr. Strange]

4. I find it disturbing that your post contains the words...

"cocky, temeah, and beating."

:scared:

[TZ]

5. ...

[quip]

19. Note to self: get curtains for the bunk room....

[TZ]

20. MWAHAHA!!

Didn't you know that I live not far from where the Bobbit incident happened......:evilgrin:

[quip]

21. I find that revelation in proximity to this conversation very disturbing!

:scared:

[Dr. Strange]

22. It's like a horror movie:

Attack of the Tutlezoot!

[TZ]

So nice I posted twice!

[TZ]

23. Bwahahaha!

[quip]

25. Egad!!!! She's MULTIPLYING!!!!!ELEVENS!!!!!

:scared: :scared:

[quip]

BRIS OF THE TUTLEZOOT!

[TZ]

26. .....

:spray: :spray: :spray:

You owe me for a new keyboard!!!!!11111!!!!

[NJmaverick]

28. The Skins lost a great coach and one of the best defensive coordinators in the game

I don't think they will pose much of a threat to the World Champs.

[cloudbase]

2. I was hopin' for Raiders-Dolphins.

Guess I'm SOL.

[madinmaryland]

3. You all will be battling for a wildcard position again this year...

:hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

8. Sorry, this is the traditional Terrell Owens meltdown year.

By October he will be an overwhelming distraction. I actually think the Giants will have a tougher time with the Eagles. :D

[BOSSHOG]

9. Lord please don't let Jerry Jones draft Felix Jones

I don't want my Razorbacks in that tacky uniform playing before obnoxious fans and chemically altered barbie doll cheerleaders.

[TZ]

10. I thought it was Darren McFadden of Arkansas that the Boyz wanted

I keep hearing thats who they are drafting.....:shrug:

[madinmaryland]

11. That's what I thought also.

[BOSSHOG]

15. From my humble research

McFadden will not be available by the time the Cowboys get a pick. And as a Razorback fan I can say that Jones is as good if not better then McFadden unless you want a passing running back. I'd be surprised if Jones is available for the Cowboys. Jones is a HOSS! A very fast HOSS! If a team has a running back need they won't go wrong with either of these guys. The "experts" have McFadden going to the Jets. I wanted them to stay their senior year but what the heck!

[jobycom]

37. They don't want McFadden. Too high a draft pick for a part-time runner.

Not that McFadden's a part-time runner, but with Marion Barber, the Cowboys would only use him part time. Felix is one of their top interests.

Although don't be stunned if Jones trades a first round pick (they have two) for a wide receiver like Roy Williams or Anquon Bouldin (yeah, no clue how that's really spelled).

Damned ESPN. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!!!

[NJmaverick]

27. Was that last years Cowboy Super Bowl poster?

:evilgrin:

[jobycom]

38. You bet! And that wild card will probably knock us out in the first round.

Again. :(

(I don't actually believe that, which is why I watch every freaking minute of every season, then walk away after the first playoff game shaking my head. How the F8CK couldn't Romo just hold the damn snap...)

[BOSSHOG]

6. Actually the Redskins will start out 0-2

They host the Saints in week two.

[TZ]

7. Which of the two teams made the playoffs last year, hmm?

I think it was the Skins......:P

[BeachBaby]

12. Man - I'll have to root for the lesser of two evils....

We Eagles fans have a hate-o-meter, in this order:
DALLAS FUCKING COWGIRLS - don't even get me started;
NY GIANTS - it's the NJ/NY thing, plus Jeremy Shockey makes me want to go buy a gun;
WASHINGTON REDSKINS - nothing against them really, just division rivals

So, from that meter, I should be rooting for the Skins; BUT.....I am SO DAMN PROUD of Eli and Mike Strahan. Watching them whoop T.O. and Romo's asses was SWEET!!!!!!!!! We Philly fans have had it up TO HERE with T.O. and his f'in melodrama.

Decisions, decisions. :)

[madinmaryland]

13. The eaglets??2??

:rofl:

[BeachBaby]

16. No girls on MY team. We got rid of the sissy and handed him

to YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

As the Philadelphia motto goes:

Dallas Sucks, but T.O. SWALLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooyah!!!!!!

[NJmaverick]

29. Tha't's not nice

Tell me again, which of these teams has a jail cell in the stadium?:evilgrin:

[BeachBaby]

30. LOL! And DAMNED proud, buddy!!!!

:hi:

How YOU doin', Jersey boy?

[NJmaverick]

31. Doin good Jersey Girl

How are things down south?

[BeachBaby]

32. Ask temeah.

Just kidding. ;)

Doin' just fine - enjoying my Phillies, although your Mets whooped our asses. Guess we had it coming after the 2007 season with your guys, eh? You ever come to Philly for Philly/Mets games?

Good seeing you! :pals:

[NJmaverick]

44. Just a casual Baseball fan, so I don't go to games down in Philly

If I go down to Philly it's to go to their great zoo or the street (forget the name) that's sort of like the Village in NYC.

[BeachBaby]

49. I think you're referring to South Street. I've had alot

of great times there. Great music, great food, great shopping, great artist - and never a dull moment. :)

As for the Mets/Phils games, I've only gone to one of those, and that was enough. I don't think I'll ever go again, it was that bad.

My brother and I went - and thank goodness I didn't bring my kids. Hundreds of Mets fans came down for the game, and I would have to say that most of them were already fired up on alcohol. They started fights during the tailgate, and it only got worse in the stadium. By the end of the evening, there was quite the police presence, and it wasn't even a playoff game! Sheesh. Even worse, I don't even remember who won that game, since most of us were paying attention to all the fights in the stands instead of the game on the field. I had always made a point in the past, to get tickets that were on the lower levels, because it was always the upper levels that had the rowdy fans. The Mets fans set a new precedent that night. ;)

My brother and I are still trying to determine which was worse - that game, or the Cowboys/Eagles tailgates/games, which get really out of control too.

As for your comment earlier about the "jail cell"....LOL! Would you believe I was at the game that caused that to happen? It was Monday Night Football, and we were playing the 49ers. I love both teams, so I was really excited. One section away from me, a fight broke out when a drunk 49er fan stood up after Jerry Rice got a touchdown. He turned around, looked at all the bare-chested, drunk Eagles fans behind him, and yelled something (I don't know what). Next thing I know, the dudes got up, and one of them picked up 49er big-mouth, lifted him over his head, and THREW him down 5 rows!!!! I'll never forget it. While I do think their reaction was way off the charts, I can't say he didn't have it coming. :)

[CreekDog]

14. All you people got nothing on me

see I go outside instead rather than watching football.



here's Alex Smith and Coach Nolan: :spank:

[TZ]

17. I knew you guys were in trouble

when you hired a Redskin retread coach (Nolan)......:P

[CreekDog]

18. the only thing he can win is Project Runway

:eyes:

[realisticphish]

33. be like browns fans

we stayed glued to our tvs even when we sucked a big one ;)

[TZ]

34. My dad is Mr. Browns

time was he used to run a fever after a Browns loss...this was years ago...but yeah..he was sick alot I would expect...:D

[realisticphish]

35. hey, we're not bad now

he should be feeling a little better :D

[CreekDog]

36. well, it's usually 10 below out there during football season

with a cool lake breeze.

whereas in SF when our teams suck, we stop watching.

just a thought. :hi:

[realisticphish]

40. i don't live in cleveland

so I don't have to live in a freezer. I'm safely situated in central ohio ;)

But your point stands

[CreekDog]

41. i envy you for having an actual summer

too damn cold here near the ocean in midsummer. brrrr.

[realisticphish]

42. hahahahaha

ohio (and the midwest in general) gets the worst of both worlds. In winter, we get blizzards. In summer, 100% humidity and clouds of mosquito's.

You're fine, believe me ;)

[CreekDog]

43. seriously, i preferred summers in Tucson to here

i don't like it cold. ;)

[madinmaryland]

47. So is this guy going to be your starting QB (he IS available)...

:rofl:

[TZ]

48. BWAH!

Considering he probably has nice large hands...I bet he can hold onto the ball better than Alex Smith:rofl:

[jobycom]

39. That depends on whether Shockey is healthy or not.

If Shockey's healthy, the Redskins should win.

[sasquatch]

45. Don't you mean "NFL Champions"?

[bigwillq]

46. Let's Go Giants!

:bounce:
