you're alright in my book:D
.... and don't forget Senor Concussion Chris MillerI never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

All Falcon's fans will forever be indebted to Anderson's game-winning kick againt a 15-1 Viking squad in Minnesota -- sending them to the Super Bowl in '98. Or better yet, indebted to Gary Anderson for missing some gimmes to allow the Falcons to make an improbable comeback.
This was the best game I have ever seen -- hands down.
So as long as Monday night's game ends early enough for him to catch Murder She Wrote or Matlock, we should be alright:D
Agreed. I was Falcon Flapping all over the room...Anderson only missed one all year-the last kick against the Falcons. Not some. Only that one-all year. Miracle.UNIVERA

Gerald Riggs and Michael Haynes helped me win the first FFL league I was in. Those teams from the early 90's were so fun to watch. Them and Houston were awsome! Defense? Who needs it... Oh yeah, didn't ATL scor over 30 pts in 5 straight games and lose every one? Ah, the good old days...There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction.

Extremely laughable... :rolleyes:
a) the Millenium is only 6 years old, so I would say if there is a team and QB of the Millenium, the one that has won HALF of hte Super Bowls in that millenium would be it.
b) I'm really happy your Broncos have so much up on us head to head, I really am, but unfortunately for you and your denial, the only thing that matters in the NFL is Super Bowls. I don't think the Patriots are the "best team" in terms of talent or anything else, but the way they handle football got them their ultimate goal 3 out of 4 years. The Broncos know how to make an O-Line, and benefit from an atmospheric anomaly for 8 games a year, but haven't won the big one since they had Elway.
I don't know why you think being a sore loser towards the Pats makes you any better than the sore winners that you're complaining about.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
Univera -- I think it's come full circle to your cable risers thread....

First part: only six years.. try team of the decade, lose the ego trip. Team of the Millenium is the Steelers as they have the most in the past 1000 years. Millenium? Pfft! I mean, could you imagine Steeler fans claiming that they are "the team for the next million years!!!" It would be just as accurate.
Second part: Should Bronco fans claim that we have a better team than Indy even though they keep kicking our asses in the playoffs just because we went to the AFCCG last year and they didn't? If you can't beat a team heads up, claiming superiority is a joke.
Home field advantage? Everyone has it. In 2001, if you play the Raiders without snow, they'd have wiped the floor with you. Chiefs probably have the biggest advantage in the league.
Your last sentance makes no sense...
Anyway, you asked why people tend to hate the Patriots and Ahorvitz demonstrated it perfectly...
BTW, which team has the most wins in the NFL over the past 10 years? Past 20? Past 25?

uhhh, no. The steelers won't considered the team of the millenium until december 1999 when they had the teams of the millenium thing on ESPN. Sorry bobman, you are going to have to wait 994 more years to call the pats that...:pAVR: H/K AVR240

The "team of the millenium" thing was a JOKE folks. Obviously you can't judge the team of a thousand year period based on the first sixx years. A JOKE, get it?
And my last sentence made perfect sense. You said you hate patriots fans because, essentially, they're sore winners. They brag too much and hold themselves to lofty titles which are, I agree, mostly undeserved. But your constant bitching and moaning about it, and then pointing out that our head to head record favors the Broncos, is a combination of sore losing (you guys haven't had a good playoff run lately, we have) and sore winning, aka the exact thing you're blaming Patriots fans of (ie, "we beat you, neeener neener, look at my not even remotely clever writeup of waht to do with your Patriots fan, I'm so funny"... what was that thing written, by an 8 year old? Honestly, come up with something original).
Regardless of all that, I think your point is wrong prima fascia. Patriots fans aren't usually the ones arguing that thier team is the "best ever", despite what you see on your Broncos forum. Chances are Pats fans trolling a Broncos forum are just there to stir up ****. Most of the talk you complain about comes from the bobbleheads in the media, and the only reason they spout that nonsense about "best team ever" and "best coach ever" and blah blah blah is because it makes a good story and a good debate for people. Not to mention that it makes one of the top 3 television markets in the country (the northeast) tune in more. It's whta they do, th ey make bold claims and then defend and refute and argue them to get ratings. Otherwise they have nothing to talk about in the offseason or down weeks.
For years it's been the Colts and how great Peyton Manning is; the Packers and how strong and resilient Brett Favre is; the Broncos and how they have the best system for the running game in the history of football... ETC ETC. These stories come around every couple of years, and then they wear out until the next media darling comes along. If the Pats don't win the Super Bowl this year, it will be 3 years since our last Super Bowl win, and we'll be forgotten for the next team, guaranteed. I rarely hear much about them anymore anyways. It was at most a 2 year run of media coverage. The 2001 story was just "underdog wins". 2002 we lost, and were barely mentioned, except to say that we were like every other Super Bowl winner who had a crap season the following season. The only real story about the Pats was from '03 through '04. Oooo, two years when a team was dominant! And media hyperbole! For shame!If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
I'd like to take a short recess from the current topic to remind everyone to GET YER PICKS IN!!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.... -

At least bobman was able to see the joke in the Team and QB "of the Millenium" comments...
Have the Broncos had the Pats number lately? Yes.
Are they the better team over the last 5 years? No.
As to the "Best Ever" statements, let's have a look at some of football's dynasties. Like it or not, the Pats make the list...
1930's & 40's- Bears and Packers
1950's- Browns and Colts
1960's- Packers
1970's- Steelers
1980's- 49ers
1990's- Cowboys
2000's- Pats
I'm not ranking these teams, as it's impossible to compare teams from different eras. But please realize that bringing head-to-head records into a discussion that centers on championships is ludicrous.
This is not Pats fan whining. This is simply a counter to the overrated label that's been lobbed at football's only active dynasty.Main Rig

Hey, Im just happy I beat the deadline for picks this week.Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

Funny things is, only fans of one team "get" that their "jokes". Everyone else seems them as a symptom short sighted and arrogant fans that actually believe it.
You guys asked why no one else in the NFL likes your team and your comments showed the exact reason why many fans despise them.There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction.

I didn't ask IF, or why for that matter, no one likes my team...nor do I care.
It will be nice to be 3-0 after this weekend after "Jake the Mistake" ruins strong performances by Denver's running attack and defense.
Pats win an ugly one 17-13. Yes, I took Denver and the points in the pool.Main Rig

Riggs was a little earlier than Haynes, I believe. Haynes was part of the Run and Shoot offense that has never won a Super Bowl. Gotta have a pounding runnnig game to win.UNIVERA

No, that actually came from having M.C. Hammer (before he bankrupted himself) on the sidelines. Glanville used to leave a ticket for Elvis for each home game. By the way, Jamal Anderson was a badass. Too bad he blew out both knees. He was as fun as anyone I have ever watched run the ball.UNIVERA

By D. Sanders, I mean his connection to Hammer. I believe he was even in the video -- you know, the one with James Brown that cost about 20 gazillion dollars to make.

Yeah, it didn't go so well last night. The Denver D looked great. We couldn't run the ball (Dillon going out certainly didn't help). We gave up big plays twice, and it wasn't Brady's best game.
Broncos now 5-1 against Brady? 6-1 against Belichek? You've clearly got our number. Hopefully, we can get you back in January.Main Rig

It's not Brady, it's BB's ego. he got lucky in the second superbowl with plugging some of the holes in the team so now he thinks he can just put anyone on the field and win because of his genious. Because of this, your awesomw 14-2 team of three years ago is barely a shadow of its former self talent wise. Brady, like Manning, is a GREAT QB with talent around him but he is not like those ultra rare QB's that can take a team with no talent and force them to the SB.
Denver is doing the same thing with RB's and D-Line. It just hasn't killed us yet.There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction.

Get yor picks in boy's and girls!
I'll be announcing 1 of the 3 prizes this week.
You can win it,

Well I see that there are 12 people that failed to get their butt in gear and make their picks for this week, too bad really.
Why you ask?
Well it's simple, if you don't get your picks in on time your chances of winning 1 of 3 prizes is greatly.
Prizes? There are prizes?
Well of course there are! haven't you been following the thread!
What are these prizes of which you speak oh Great Commissioner-O-Da-Pool?
Since there seem to be a few slackers that need a bit of motivation...I'll tell you what the prize is for 1St place....
