Heads up.

Just not in LA, Dallas, Detroit, Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh, and DC. Am I missing any?

I don't understand? New York, Pittsburgh, Dallas and Philly I know to be huge football towns.

I think that's what is inferred.

Although I think all variations of "Football" is stupid.

I don't really understand why people outside of america think we care about their opinions as to what we call football.

True anecdote, I was sitting in a...uhm...coffee shop in Holland chatting with some of my European brothers and conversation turned a little political, as conversation is wont to do when one is smoking coffee. There was a great deal of America bashing because that was super popular at the time and as far as I know still is, but you know, I'm a pretty good sport about it and aside from the nationalism our idealogy isn't really all that different, when one fellow starts talking about how america is in steep decline. He goes on for a while about his hands and the decline of america when I stopped him and said "Man, this is how you know America is still on top." And he said "cough-what?"

So I said "Look how much time and thought you put into how America is on the decline. In America, we don't think about you at all."

And then we had more coffee.

Yet you had to go to Holland to, ... y'know... Smoke Coffee...

Heads up.

This statement is only true because of how bad the Lions / Vikings are.

Not anymore! Although I would because its an awesome place.

Hey the Vikings looked good on Sunday night. Not every team gets to be the Steelers.

This whole Hemisphere is freakin' Weird.

Mad, come to BC - we have lots of smokeable coffee.

The football game sounds like a great idea, but I gotta fly out early. Sorry!

Still can't get over the toilets swirling the other way, Dras?

How about THE FREAKING SUN IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE GODDAMN SKY for one?

S. Diggs is on my fantasy team. He's a monster for a late round pickup now that AP is toast.

And Pittsburgh fans are downright calm vs Philly, NY, and Oakland fans.

Hey...I resemble that remark! Go Raiders!!!

It would be a fun game to watch, all things considered.

In all seriousness, I'd recommend going to see an NFL game in person. It's very different from what you watch on TV. Not necessarily better, just different. Even if the teams suck.

And this is why there's an off-topic thread. Bah, unless it's an Eskimos vs. RIders game, why in the world should anyone north of the 49th care about football? Even if it is Eskimos vs. Riders, why should anyone care? Meh, oh well, I guess gawking at wonky Southern football can hold some potential for a type of 'cultural experience'. Like turducken, it's ultimately pointless but it's one of those things that the yanks seem to yammer about.

*All coming from a proper rural Northern Albertan, one who likes hockey and will watch the Grey Cup, but can't be bothered about anything else. Ever. It's also coming from someone who's name is always autocorrected from Vykes to Vikes to Vikings, and that may contribute to the whole hearted lack of apologies in the above sentiment. Sorry.

I'm new to this forum and I'm just amazed at how different the conversational tone is. In the X-Wing forum people would be bagging on the OP for suggesting such an expensive activity, making a big show about how they couldn't afford to participate and that there's something wrong with having disposable income.

Yeah we have a good group of folks posting on this board.

On a semi-related note, we all need to do some group activities at worlds. Sadly, I probably won't have the time to hit the football game before needing to get back on the plane Sunday.

agreed on group funsies
