Just like Europeans think soccer is a mens game. High school girls love it though.

Back to the subject...

What you need is Bouncebackability. Classic Soccer AM, from back when it was good. (I still hate that ugly cunt Iain Dowie mind). I would post a video, but it's been a good few years since it was originally aired.

I did not want this thread to get off of course. Regardless of your nationality and your sport, what do you do when your team is underperfoming to the point of being total shit?

>>12417
Are you a part of the front office for the team? If so, revamp it.

Are you just a normal fan? Wallow, I suppose. Just don't go fair-weather for another team. That's not cool.

It just gets worse and worse. I have to come to terms with things being worse. And worse. And worse. The resignation to being relegated felt good. It's the morphine of a shit season.

Was well on his way to being one of the all-time greats or the greatest. Would be like if Earnhardt's crash happened 10 years earlier, or Jordan dying after the '93 Finals. I wasn't a huge Indy Car fan but this has to be one of the shittiest things to happen in the sports world in some time. Speaking of which, along with the Lokomotiv crash this has been a pretty devastating year for sports.

>>12581
Yeah it's been pretty rough as far as deaths in sports go. I'm not very old but I can't remember a year in which as many people have died.

>>12581
Don't forget Probert, Belak, Rypien and Boogaard.

I dont understand how they are driving indy cars on that elevated nascar surface, it just screams disaster.. cars mounting cars, cars flipping, crashes always turning into the whole field being blinded by smoke... they need a dam roll cage

Op here, I actually think the bills are going to lose to the giants first half: 24-10. But they make a tight comeback 34-31. Bills go 5-1.
Cowboys beat pats
panthers beat falcons

Heed my foresight!

>>12550

good call OP.

0-3

>>12579

Ya.. i'm usually much better on picks, bad week for me.. Carolina's not what I thought they were, Falcons are still a pretty mediorce team though.
Bills by FAR should of beat the Giants, just a unlucky game for me.
Cowboys also should of beat the Pats, but I guess you just can't rely on Romo in the 4th quarter these days.

>>12580
Tom Brady fucked your pick straight up. The Cowboys should have won that game, the Patriots just had a great drive late that put them ahead.

The eagles, like the jets, are overrated by the media and commentators every year.

Yeah I'll join in, that was pretty funny.

Fuck New York and Boston. You both suck sooooo many dicks.

Oh man. AND Philly lost.

This season is great.

>Boston
>Philly
>New York

Pinch me Mr. Ho.
This is awesome.

rangers got this shit for real thats my bet

my prediction was the red sox until they fucked up last month i then lost my faith in boston

group of friend an I are playing. We did a live roundtable draft a couple weeks ago. Nt sure how I will fare, but last night got me HUGE points

>>12441
What scoring categories do you guys play with?

Move Staal, Whitney to IR so you aren't down 2 players for however long they're out. I like your team, but feel your goalies are probably the weakest part. Reimer hasn't played a full year (but had great stats as a rookie) and Brodeur is probably towards the end of the road. They're both good 3rd goalies to have though (yeah I realize you only have 3).

>>12454
no Bench spots. if you want to move, they have to go through waivers.
Points are as follows
Goal / assist = 1
PPG / ppa = 1.75
PiM = .5 / minute
SHG / SHA = 2.25 (i think, can't remember)
Hits = .10
Blocks = .05

Goalies
Win = 2
Shutout = 5
Save = .05

>>12537
Sounds pretty interesting, then again I've only played in leagues that only care about G, A, PIM, PP/SH, W, SV%, G.AA, SO.

>>12537
What weird scoring. I'll stick to the standard.

>>12333
The Lions won the game. Fuckers are 4-0.

>>12331
Fluke? More like epic come from behind victory after Romo through 2 back to back pick sixes and a third pick to set the Lions up for victory.

More like another blown win brought to you by Tony Romo.

>>12331

>fluke win

i have an undefeated record since last december, 3 straight wins on the road, and two epic come from behind victories after being down 20 or more points at halftime.
you have a choke artist doing what he does best, throwing two pick sixes in a row, a defense who cant cover one guy with triple coverage (MEGATROOOOOON), and an L.
don't be jelly

Those 6 field goals sure didn't stop us from being in first in the NFC East.

I'm not even a cowgirls fan but I have a sinister sneaking suspicion that they're going to beat the patriots, I think its going to happen - end game score: 31-21 dallas

Syracuse fan here, them moving to the ACC is so fucking stupid. At this point I just hope that within 5 years we get 4 or 6 "Super Conferences" and get a true playoff system for Division I football. All the movements have already fucked up conference rivalries in basketball, but at least it will have little to no effect on the NCAA tourney.

>>why hasn't Appalachian State been invited up yet?

Are you... serious?

...........................................................

I feel so bad for Cutler. He's got a great arm and good awareness just zero protection.

Lifelong Lions fan here.

So happy that we're finally on the road to being a respectable team. I started paying attention to football when I was 12, right at the beginning of the MIllen era. I never saw Barry Sanders, and was there for two of the games in 2008, so this feels so new and exciting it's crazy.

I really feel bad for Cutler though. He gets so much shit for being soft and never winning the big games, but fuck that, those fans are retarded. Almost every play for a gain of yards that entire second half were just pulled out of his ass under intense pressure and half a second away from a sack. Anyone that can take that many hits and still keep his team in the game almost single-handedly on offense gets a lifetime of love from me.

>>12518
I'm a Bears fan and I totally agree with you. They're asking Cutler to move the ball down the field without giving him any time to do it.

Then again, if you look closely, there is a thing that he does when under pressure that I like to refer to as the "Cutler Shuffle". He breaks down and stops looking down field while shuffling his feet, just mentally breaking down for about a second or two. He over came it a few times though in this game.

The Lions are 5-0 and the Colts are 0-5, it truly is bizarro world.

I thought the Bears O-line couldn't get any worse than it was last year, and yet it has. Mother of fuck.

>lose 33-17 to div rival 49ers
>even making the playoffs

Nope. Niners will win the NFC West and whoever doesn't win the NFC North (either Lions or Packers) gets the wild card. Or the Saints. But not the Seahawks.

>>12503

>Or the Saints

Remember last year?

Yeah that was pretty crazy. 49'ers played good defense, but still I didn't think that they were that good on offense. Bucs looked baaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
