Thread: Expanded Playoffs?

I couldn't possibly care less about Japan, China and Germany and I find it unconscionable to put a foreign countries athletes ahead of what's best for the Broncos. Especially considering that nobody is stopping these athletes from trying to make it to the NFL.

But, as Joel will tell you, he's not really a fan of the Broncos, he's more of a fan of the style of play they used to have.

Look, man, if you want to disagree with me on anything and EVERYTHING just for the sake of doing it, fine, but that doesn't give you any right to question my support for the Broncos, like some sort of KGB Loyalty Officer looking for people to put in front of a firing squad. I'm a Broncos fan and THAT'S what I said, however much you want to try twisting it into something else. That doesn't mean I'd stop watching football if the team moved to L.A. tomorrow any more than I did when the Oilers moved to TN. Maybe you would, fine; not my fault, not my problem—at least it SHOULDN'T be.

If you genuinely care about the quality of the sport as a whole, it's time to start thinking about what you prefer in an international expansion the owners have made very clear is inevitable; it's only a question of where and when, not if. Whether you feel good, bad or indifferently about me or "euros" personally is irrelevant to that. It's irrelevant to football discussion, period.

You specifically said you were a fan of the style of play and actually hated Elway and the Broncos, you've also clearly declared your allegiance to, what did you say? "My Oilers". So just how many teams could I question your support? The Broncos (so you say), the Texans/Oilers, the Germans, the Brits, the Japs, the Chinese, Australia, Wlaugh (whatever the **** that is?).

You're a huge fan of anybody and everybody that doesn't take Tim Tebow's job. I'm cool with that, I just can't take it seriously.

Btw, it only seems like I disagee with you about anything and everything because you're consistently wrong about anything and everything.

Tebow again? Yes I hateD (note the past tense) Elway and the Broncos for The Drive II; how could any self respecting Oilers fan do otherwise? It was ONE GAME though; my hatred of Denver then was nothing like my enduring feelings toward the Steelers, Bengals and Browns (and, yes, the Ravens are grandfathered in there.) Trust me, I still hate the Bills more for The Comeback a year later. Things change; a year after, the Oilers hometown changed and I needed a new team. While my father was alive it was his Cowboys, but after I picked Denver, however much that annoys you. Get over it. Or don't. Either way, get off my butt.

ahhh.. that explains a lot.

Nothing I didn't already explain 5 or 6 years ago.
