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 510 Views
As do I. But I was referring to the book! *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:49:25 PM 510 Views
What the hell, people. Lupine - 08/02/2010 03:31:09 PM 921 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 1066 Views
lol Lupine - 08/02/2010 04:20:52 PM 869 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 1020 Views
It's kind of you to defend me ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 06:16:34 PM 954 Views
Not entirely sure what you mean, since I didn't edit any of my posts. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 08:24:07 PM 1351 Views
I'm the one who edited two replies The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:34:45 PM 863 Views
It was mostly the comparison. It seemed nasty. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:47:18 PM 1017 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 1164 Views
I guess I really don't get the game, then. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:51:25 PM 1007 Views
Well, football is a game where you should respond in kind. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:37:36 PM 1183 Views
I disagree, Ghavrel, about the sexiness. Its very alpha-male. And very hot. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:55:29 PM 873 Views
I'll bear that in mind. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:38:57 PM 477 Views
No worries. I admit to having had fun with you. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:01:33 AM 480 Views
That is horrible fan-sportsmanship. You should be ashamed. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:46:58 AM 508 Views
Sorry Chorabliss, I shouldn't have replied when I was angry ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:52 AM 974 Views
No worries. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:56:45 AM 494 Views
And I'll be the first European to say this... Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:11:03 AM 883 Views
Oh I thought you were gonna say... ironclad - 08/02/2010 03:43:59 PM 1038 Views
Nah, it was fun. Also, see my reply below. *NM* Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:44:27 PM 516 Views
I guess I'll be the first Australian to say this then Colonel Logain - 08/02/2010 03:16:08 AM 861 Views
Yup. The onside kick was a ballsy call and blew everyone away. *NM* everynametaken - 08/02/2010 06:47:54 AM 405 Views
it was a really good game until that interception moondog - 08/02/2010 10:42:09 AM 794 Views
They are world champs. Animosity - 08/02/2010 04:00:04 PM 1142 Views
There are American football leagues elsewhere (even if they don't matter). Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:12:44 PM 1018 Views
besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM 922 Views
Oh, there are plenty. Legolas - 09/02/2010 10:41:11 AM 955 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 833 Views
Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Legolas - 09/02/2010 02:55:51 PM 914 Views
You make a good point (as does Legolas as well) Colonel Logain - 09/02/2010 12:39:04 AM 925 Views
I never hear Super Bowl winners referred to as "World Champions". TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:47:48 PM 879 Views
Wish I could be on Bourbon Street tonight random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:19:10 AM 801 Views
That interception... I have no words. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:23:53 AM 521 Views
Yeah that was pretty cool random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:47:11 AM 996 Views
Exactly... who would have thought that Peyton Manning would choke?? BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:13:09 AM 1005 Views
i wouldn't call it choking per se... moondog - 08/02/2010 10:36:27 AM 840 Views
I disagree. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:44:52 PM 987 Views
I still don't get how that clock works. Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:51:09 PM 965 Views
True. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:59:14 PM 1003 Views

I don't consider it a choke. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:49:17 PM 489 Views
Yeah I should rephrase that BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 06:03:23 PM 1008 Views
Excellent Game. Two thumbs up. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 06:01:39 AM 484 Views
my only complaint moondog - 08/02/2010 10:38:43 AM 957 Views
Isn't that one of the problems of the entire sport? Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:04:32 PM 985 Views
I think it is more complicated then that random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:01:10 PM 925 Views
Well, he did match the record for completions in a game. TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:51:10 PM 911 Views
It's not quite that bad BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:38:04 PM 866 Views
Good game, Saints. Kaldric - 08/02/2010 01:15:51 PM 792 Views
