Who is your adopted team this year?

FWtex · 09-30-2003, 01:14 PM

Now that is looks like there will not be much to cheer about or hope for from the saints what teams are you rooting for? (along with the saints)

I am a gluten for punishment cause I am taking a liken to Marvin Lewis and the Bengals. They have been playing some fiesty football this year and I like the attitude Lewis instills in his players. They probably will not make the playoffs but they will be in every game with a chance to win.

I personally have adopted the Seahawks.
I also find it interesting that Holmgren has decided to step down from the GM ranks and concentrate only on coaching and no more personell decisions...
He\'s 3-0 Jim.

Do you have a \"Big ole man Crush\" on Marvin Lewis too?

Hey Tweeky, that\'s something Jim Haslett could benefit from as well.He can\'t handle talent coordination and coaching.

My other team is The K.C. Chiefs.Lamar Hunt knows how to build from the inside out.He finally got the missing piece in Dick Vermeil.That whole organization is like one big family,from the owner to the players.

Raiders. Always the Raiders. They have the best fans, the best music and the best attitude for football. Love \'em.

I like the Panthers actually. I know its blasphemy to pick a team in our division, but I like Delhomme - always have. I have no illusions about his athletic ability being \"super\" but he brings the intangible to the table. He\'s a leader that his followers respect, and that makes the people on his team play harder. It\'s the difference between winning and losing.

Still, I hope the Saints level them, but I\'m not holding my breath.

I\'m going to say Dolphins. Have the same late season collapse issue we have and I gotta pull for Ricky and Sammy to do well still.

I\'d have to say Detroit. I know they\'re not going to make the playoffs and that\'s fine with me. They are a lot like the Saints in the good ole days when a win was something special. Back then I could enjoy a single win over the course of a couple weeks cuz I didn\'t expect it, but the team played with passion. That\'s a stark contrast to the recent Saints who we\'ve been told could win it all, but fall flat on their collective face.

I\'m going to say the Redskins.

They need a name change, but it looks liike Ramsey is the real deal. Actually, I\'m enjoying watching all the very good young qb\'s out there, Carr, Harrington, Leftwich, and Pennington and Vick in a few weeks. Makes me wish we had one.
