We have nothing to be embarrased about. If Falcan't fan or Viqueen fan gets upset by what they read on this board then so be it. I think we mainly use those names among ourselves here on the forum to show disdain for our major rivals. I'm sure Cowgirl fans can understand that.

One would think, given the context of the OP question...this is the offseason!

True. Or that we have become so confident and expect winning we are now on cruise control.

Given what happened with the Cardinals and Seahawks last season and the Rams this year...I find it hard to become complacent or over confident...even with 13 W's!

Wow - I had never seen that until I got on this site & then I got into the fun!!

So I guess my answer is no.

It may be juvenile but hey a lot of things we say & do on this site could be considered so.

I am not so old that I take myself completely seriously & if I am juvenile & offending people - so be it!!

I guess the next question/complaint/observation will be about people using the smiles too much!!

Before we rip on other teams, let's remember that it was OUR fans who wrote 'Aints' on paper bags and then wore them.

Yep, I don't mind it at all. its part of our history and I'm proud of it. I'm proud this lowly pathetic franchise rose from laughing stock to world champs. And many of us were fans the entire time, through the good and the bad.

When I hear other fans call us the Aints, I just smile.

Always remember where you came from. Never forget.

So, do you guys think it's embarrassing when your fellow fans use terms like:
FailClowns, Falclowns, FailCants etc...

I've never been a fan of changing a teams name and converting it to something that just flat out sounds stupid. To me, personally, it just sounds childish and degrades anything that person posts.

That's just me personally speaking. Just wanna get some input.
Feel free to bash me or whatever, cuz I'm a Falcons fan and all, but I honestly just want your input. Not that it matters :P

nothing to see here folks...he blows, so does matty ice, the owner, the mascot, and the rest of the FAILCLOWNS FANS

if I recall correctly it was Saints fans that coined the term Aints. It was back in the days of the paper bags. My how far have we come
