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!

Indeed. The Gene Wilder version is the better one. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:44:05 PM 457 Views
As do I. But I was referring to the book! *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:49:25 PM 456 Views
What the hell, people. Lupine - 08/02/2010 03:31:09 PM 826 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 973 Views
lol Lupine - 08/02/2010 04:20:52 PM 756 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 923 Views
It's kind of you to defend me ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 06:16:34 PM 848 Views
Not entirely sure what you mean, since I didn't edit any of my posts. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 08:24:07 PM 1211 Views
I'm the one who edited two replies The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:34:45 PM 763 Views
It was mostly the comparison. It seemed nasty. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:47:18 PM 917 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 1060 Views
I guess I really don't get the game, then. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:51:25 PM 900 Views
Well, football is a game where you should respond in kind. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:37:36 PM 1088 Views
I disagree, Ghavrel, about the sexiness. Its very alpha-male. And very hot. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:55:29 PM 771 Views
I'll bear that in mind. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:38:57 PM 420 Views
No worries. I admit to having had fun with you. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:01:33 AM 429 Views
That is horrible fan-sportsmanship. You should be ashamed. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:46:58 AM 458 Views
Sorry Chorabliss, I shouldn't have replied when I was angry ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:52 AM 875 Views
No worries. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:56:45 AM 445 Views
And I'll be the first European to say this... Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:11:03 AM 772 Views

Nah, it was fun. Also, see my reply below. *NM* Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:44:27 PM 455 Views
I guess I'll be the first Australian to say this then Colonel Logain - 08/02/2010 03:16:08 AM 753 Views
Yup. The onside kick was a ballsy call and blew everyone away. *NM* everynametaken - 08/02/2010 06:47:54 AM 347 Views
it was a really good game until that interception moondog - 08/02/2010 10:42:09 AM 683 Views
They are world champs. Animosity - 08/02/2010 04:00:04 PM 1045 Views
There are American football leagues elsewhere (even if they don't matter). Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:12:44 PM 911 Views
besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM 810 Views
Oh, there are plenty. Legolas - 09/02/2010 10:41:11 AM 847 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 733 Views
Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Legolas - 09/02/2010 02:55:51 PM 822 Views
You make a good point (as does Legolas as well) Colonel Logain - 09/02/2010 12:39:04 AM 829 Views
I never hear Super Bowl winners referred to as "World Champions". TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:47:48 PM 784 Views
Wish I could be on Bourbon Street tonight random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:19:10 AM 696 Views
That interception... I have no words. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:23:53 AM 471 Views
Yeah that was pretty cool random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:47:11 AM 893 Views
Exactly... who would have thought that Peyton Manning would choke?? BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:13:09 AM 901 Views
i wouldn't call it choking per se... moondog - 08/02/2010 10:36:27 AM 736 Views
I disagree. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:44:52 PM 876 Views
I still don't get how that clock works. Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:51:09 PM 862 Views
True. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:59:14 PM 900 Views

I don't consider it a choke. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:49:17 PM 435 Views
Yeah I should rephrase that BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 06:03:23 PM 917 Views
Excellent Game. Two thumbs up. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 06:01:39 AM 433 Views
my only complaint moondog - 08/02/2010 10:38:43 AM 855 Views
Isn't that one of the problems of the entire sport? Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:04:32 PM 885 Views
I think it is more complicated then that random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:01:10 PM 822 Views
Well, he did match the record for completions in a game. TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:51:10 PM 801 Views
It's not quite that bad BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:38:04 PM 762 Views
Good game, Saints. Kaldric - 08/02/2010 01:15:51 PM 697 Views
