If I were a Bucs fan, I'd be finding something else to do right now.
1st half: 15-of-24 passing, 245 yards, 5 TD
Shame the Orioles couldn't put up those numbers.
Goddamned NFL regional coverage.
Carolina kicks the tying field goal against Cincy, and WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT THE REDSKINS AND THE CARDINALS
It's alright, nugget missed the game winning field goal....It's a tie! :w00t:

Poor Jets. :(
And what the hell is going on in SC? (I presume southern VA is some of that Cowboys/"America's Team" effect.

In Atlanta there are a ton of Pennsylvania / rust belt transplants. When the Steelers play in Atlanta it almost feels like a neutral site game. I'm going to guess there is the same dynamic in South Carolina, and without any team having a strong presence, they can pull a plurality.
I'm somewhat surprised about the Florida panhandle being so divided. When I was a kid that was solid Dolphin country, but I guess given the post Marino developments I should be very surprised.
Nuge is no longer under my protection :(

Perhaps outweighed by the hatred of the other nearby options? :P
I think the Jets are the only team missing from the map completely...or am I missing someone else?
Oh, and the criteria for the map:
QuoteThe map shows every American county's favorite professional football team, as judged by the NFL team that Facebook users in that county have 'liked' the most.
:bleeding:

Can you really hate a team if you don't have one of your own to root for?
I would think Ponies wold be a natural fit: the team of the Mountain West.
As we seen with PDH, the surrounding states aren't that big on the Broncos.
I have to disagree with the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland; it's more Foreskins territory than Ravens, and that goes back many, many years.

Sometimes it's also not so much about hating the team, but in hating the people/area that the team is in.
Sure. But who hates people from Denver? :huh:

After driving through Denver a couple months ago, I hate Denver*. :)

I have the impression they think they are some sort of city on a hilll towering over the rest of us.

Sussex County, Delaware is definitely Ravens (and O's) territory though.
Check out the Rams, breaking out the Vince Ferragamo unis.

Huh. I wonder if that one lone county in Missouris that goes for the Cowboys is because of the military base there. Or maybe they are just dumb, they did name the county after a Pole.
Damn, really nice game against the Bills, but it sure cost us on the injury front. :(
We just have to keep on giving 110%.
We also need to keep within ourselves the winning mindset. There is nothing we can't accomplish.
You actually get to use We, derCoach.
Not any more, unless I'm talking about the league. I am the sideline Windows Surface technician for the Bengals now, but I work for the NFL.
You are on the sideline. That's a We in my book*.
*or, you know, Tim's book.
See, a requirement for German Bundesliga clubs is that they're indeed clubs that offer membership to the general populace. Bayern Munich currently has over 200k paying members who could rightfully say, "we" when talking about the club. :P
What is it you get for club membership?
Bayern Munich? Currently preferential treatment for tickets, a regular print magazine, slightly cheaper tickets and merchandise. Couldn't find the club rules for them, but for most clubs you'll also be eligible to participate in the club's general meetings including voting rights.
Actually, RB Leipzig, founded by Red Bull 5 years ago, ran into trouble, because they wanted to run it more like a company instead of like a club, which caused them trouble when they came to 2. Bundesliga (2nd Division):
- to dissuade potential members, they were asking for a EUR 800.- membership fee - FC St. Pauli charges EUR 10.-; Bayern Munich EUR 60.-; also members have no voting rights (their official line is that they don't want to be a club with too many members and a fan base that contains ultras; in the first five years they had 10 paying members)
- their board is handpicked by Red Bull with some corporate figures running the show
- the logo looked too much like the Red Bull logo, adding extra marketing to the jersey
RB Leipzig agreed to change the last two items.
The Bayern Munich deal seems to make more sense than becoming a Packers "shareholder".

Now we can blame you for the league's approach to domestic violence. Oh wait, that would've been your approach anyway. :P

Man, if you were still single dropping that job title in a bar would score you so much tang.
:P

Dude, the purple NFL hat would do it alone. Wouldn't have to say a word.

I think it would have been better if they changed the first two instead.
