They are world champs. Animosity Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 04:00:04 PM

I'm not going to whinge about the Saints styling themselves "World Champions" because that gets tiresome (even though they're not, really :P)


Actually it is appropriate for them to say they are world champs. Every other nation on this earth, if it wanted to do so could form a sports league similar to the NFL. Same rules, equipment and the like. Since the only american football is played in america, does not mean that the Saints are not the champs of the world, just because the rest of the world does not play this sport.

I would understand if the winner of the MLS championship called themselves world champions, since soccer is prevelant all over, and people got miffed about the arrogance of claiming to be world champs.

Dan. ol' boy. Just let them have their moment of glory and stop feeling like the red headed step children of the sporting world! :P
WOOOOOOOOOO! PIG SOOOOOOOIE! GO HOGS GO!

As do I. But I was referring to the book! *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:49:25 PM 386 Views
What the hell, people. Lupine - 08/02/2010 03:31:09 PM 666 Views
Dunno, what is it about the anonimity of the internet that makes people like you The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:10:38 PM 825 Views
lol Lupine - 08/02/2010 04:20:52 PM 595 Views
Of course I disagree with your analysis. But you're entitled to your opinions, naturally. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:33:01 PM 766 Views
It's kind of you to defend me ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 06:16:34 PM 711 Views
Not entirely sure what you mean, since I didn't edit any of my posts. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 08:24:07 PM 935 Views
I'm the one who edited two replies The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:34:45 PM 603 Views
It was mostly the comparison. It seemed nasty. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:47:18 PM 765 Views
Listen, you're uptight. You were looking for an argument/fight. Not quite characteristic of you, but The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:54:26 PM 890 Views
I guess I really don't get the game, then. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:51:25 PM 729 Views
Well, football is a game where you should respond in kind. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:37:36 PM 926 Views
I disagree, Ghavrel, about the sexiness. Its very alpha-male. And very hot. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:55:29 PM 597 Views
I'll bear that in mind. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:38:57 PM 350 Views
No worries. I admit to having had fun with you. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:01:33 AM 353 Views
That is horrible fan-sportsmanship. You should be ashamed. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:46:58 AM 395 Views
Sorry Chorabliss, I shouldn't have replied when I was angry ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:52 AM 708 Views

And I'll be the first European to say this... Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:11:03 AM 592 Views

Nah, it was fun. Also, see my reply below. *NM* Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:44:27 PM 384 Views
I guess I'll be the first Australian to say this then Colonel Logain - 08/02/2010 03:16:08 AM 604 Views
Yup. The onside kick was a ballsy call and blew everyone away. *NM* everynametaken - 08/02/2010 06:47:54 AM 284 Views
it was a really good game until that interception moondog - 08/02/2010 10:42:09 AM 531 Views

There are American football leagues elsewhere (even if they don't matter). Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:12:44 PM 750 Views
besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM 639 Views
Oh, there are plenty. Legolas - 09/02/2010 10:41:11 AM 670 Views
I don't know I think the talent difference is great enough to justify the title random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:33:03 PM 576 Views
Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Legolas - 09/02/2010 02:55:51 PM 668 Views
You make a good point (as does Legolas as well) Colonel Logain - 09/02/2010 12:39:04 AM 686 Views
I never hear Super Bowl winners referred to as "World Champions". TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:47:48 PM 628 Views
Wish I could be on Bourbon Street tonight random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:19:10 AM 539 Views
That interception... I have no words. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:23:53 AM 402 Views
Yeah that was pretty cool random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:47:11 AM 727 Views
Exactly... who would have thought that Peyton Manning would choke?? BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:13:09 AM 736 Views
i wouldn't call it choking per se... moondog - 08/02/2010 10:36:27 AM 586 Views
I disagree. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:44:52 PM 730 Views
I still don't get how that clock works. Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:51:09 PM 709 Views
True. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:59:14 PM 754 Views

I don't consider it a choke. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:49:17 PM 353 Views
Yeah I should rephrase that BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 06:03:23 PM 744 Views
Excellent Game. Two thumbs up. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 06:01:39 AM 355 Views
my only complaint moondog - 08/02/2010 10:38:43 AM 703 Views
Isn't that one of the problems of the entire sport? Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:04:32 PM 744 Views
I think it is more complicated then that random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:01:10 PM 664 Views
Well, he did match the record for completions in a game. TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:51:10 PM 647 Views
It's not quite that bad BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:38:04 PM 613 Views
Good game, Saints. Kaldric - 08/02/2010 01:15:51 PM 549 Views
