I used to like the Panthers. They won me some cash when they made the final a few years ago.
Nowadays i just support who i think will cover the line.
I couldn't get into it last year really.

I am going to the 4th and final preseason game for my team Thursday night.   Jaguars versus Redskins.   I can't wait until the regular season starts.   First home game is against the Titans, time for revenge (should have beaten their asses twice last year).   I have missed exactly 2 regular season games in the team's 11 year history.   We have had season tickets in the same seats for all but the first season when we sat in the upper deck.   It will be fun to talk trash to the lamer Colts fans after the Jaguars put 375 rushing yards on them last year (44-17) I am sure they will be still elated over the Super Bowl win.  Lame ass bandwagon jumpers.

I don't know much about the game tbh (picked up a few things maybe), but it's probably the best sport to bet on for excitement.
Pre-season doesn't mean shit. Things seem to change radically from one season to the next ( unlike soccer).
I used to have a great contact in the US who knew his stuff, but i seem to have lost contact with him ( he had a lot of personal problems last couple of years).
Hopefully, I will find him again before the season starts. Maybe get a few tips.

I didn't know that. I couldn't find Arizona on a map tbh. My geography is not much good - america is just one big place to me, except for a few cities.

kosmo, if i were playing fantasy foorball this year (which i am not), then i could be your contact about football.
i don't make bets myself, because when i do i always lose.  but i can call them like a mo fo, when there is nothing on the line for me.
Title: Re: 2007 -08 MLB thread

thats what i need - someone who can call them like a mo fo.
let's see when the season starts.

when the season stats i may be consumed with it.
but, i need more money so i might start working sundays, and i am coaching my daughters' soccer team and that will likely take up more of my time.

i will see if any of my friends are playing fantacy football this year.  if so, i may quiz them for you.

also, some of my other friends bet the games, i may ask them for some tips....if i can be arsed.

Good luck with the soccer training. I don't like that game. I used to like fouling people, and played in the net sometimes in 5-a-side, that was okay.

believe me, i am not too keen on running these days.  but i am coaching because i enjoy competition, and i think my daughters enjoy spending time with me.

i am not really that sociable.  really, i am a social retard, and i figure this is a good way to get involved in their lives.

Why not. Have fun.
 Surprised you get enough people to play soccer, i didn't think it was too popular there.

we have the AYSO
American Youth Soccer organization.

millions of kids play it.  our region has over 1100 kids of all different age brackets.  both my girls are playing in the under 10 age group.
