Since I'm not much of an American football fan... Legolas Send a noteboard - 05/10/2009 01:38:18 PM
I'll take the opportunity to discuss the etymology of that particular phrase instead. "How about them [insert sports team]" seems like a standard phrase in American popular culture and daily life, but where does it come from? It's rather un-grammatical, not the most natural way of starting a conversation, so I take it someone must've started saying it, and infected enough others that it spread throughout the entire country... is it from some TV personality, or really just some random anonymous person?

Great game, but as a fan there's one thing that displeased me greatly... Blaine - 05/10/2009 02:31:25 AM 578 Views
I didn't think it was a great game random thoughts - 05/10/2009 02:35:25 AM 540 Views
Terrible officiating for sure Brian - 05/10/2009 02:57:43 AM 563 Views

Right, but it's the ungrammatical aspect I'm wondering about. Legolas - 05/10/2009 03:49:50 PM 581 Views

It was basically the slogan of the Cowboys when they got good again under Jimmy Johnsons coaching. Joel - 06/10/2009 12:53:03 AM 839 Views
Okay... I suppose you did answer the question, somewhere deep down in that whole thing. Legolas - 06/10/2009 01:24:22 AM 722 Views

I hope they can do as well against .500 and +.500 teams. PLEASE beat the Chargers! *NM* Joker - 05/10/2009 07:13:45 PM 242 Views
Dallas was above .500 coming in, now 2-2 (.500 exactly). Bengals are 3-1 (.750). Both Denver wins. TaskmasterJack - 05/10/2009 08:06:41 PM 542 Views

To be fair, his accuracy will probably improve as the season goes on Brian - 06/10/2009 06:36:54 PM 628 Views
17-2 lifetime at home. Orton wins games. *NM* Joker - 06/10/2009 09:18:20 PM 224 Views
