My god this championship thing is stupid. The Packers won the first SB in 1966, the year before that they also won the championship. How can anyone claim that there is a difference between the title they won in 1965 and the one they won in 1966.

Packers did not win a title in 1892!!!

Unlike the 49ers

If it doesn't have Roman Numerals and black people then it doesn't count.

Nice to see, that once you stopped going out in public in blackface, that you'd regain your logic. Congratulations, for Your Health!

Btw guys, who is Don Hudson?

Sounds like a shitty NES game that was so bad I couldn't even muster up the interest to finish it.

Fuck yea, the entourage movie is a go. Love you Warner bros.

He was a college coach in the 70's that had an outstanding record of 9 wins and 72 losses! Most known as the first African American head football coach at a predominantly white college.

Don Hutson, though, he's a time traveler. A modern day WR transported back to the 1930's.

Oh Hutson? Who gives a shit about some dude who played football during World War II.

I am pretty sure Hines Ward was better than him and Jerry Rice combined.

Everyone knows that Lance Alworth was the greatest WR of all time.

Well duh, he could throw the football. I thought you B1G 10 guys were s'posed to be Smart?

I think you are thinking about the french bike thing and that douche bag is a cheating scumbag like the rest of the people who ride bicycles professionally.

Suck my dick biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch. Just because your bro friends pretend the world didn't exist before your dad forgot to use a condom doesn't mean that shit didn't happen.

Nope. Superbowls or bust. Case closed. Don't care how you and your hick friends refer to thrm on a Wikipedia page!

 

[bionic77]

I don't know about smart, but I dub Hines Ward the greatest (or maybe 2nd greatest behind Randy Moss who uses the Joe Flacco ranking system) because he was clutch, physical (they changed the rules because of him) and likely gave Ed Reed brain damage. Outside of the football field he also brought civilization to South Korea.

I can't think of another wide receiver who can match those accomplishments.

What's a good free email provider? I have a yahoo and gmail account already, but their my name, and I need to voice a complaint against my organization and prefer if it couldn't be traced back to me.

Stop being like Ray Lewis.

Be a fucking man and go right up to your supervisor, CEO or whoever and tell them to their face what your problem is and that Ray Lewis is a murdering cheater.

Of course you're an Entourage fan, of course you are.

Just make a new GMail account with random characters? It takes like two seconds.

Smart, thanks.

By the way, the complaint is about our bathrooms at work. There are four public bathrooms, with only one stall and one urinal each. All of a sudden, they've replaced all the stall doors with curtains. This is a medical facility, that's just wrong. People barely knock on a closed stall door without trying the handle first; curtains are a terrible idea. Agree?

Why did they do that? And why is that something you feel you can't complain about in person?

I bet some Ravens and Pat fans were jerking it to porn on their phones behind those doors and this was their response.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Three of the Packers early championships are bullshit because they didn't even play a championship game back then. They just handed a trophy to the team with the best record at the end of crazy regular seasons where not all teams played the same amount of games. If you're going to count them, then they should only count starting in '33 when they finally got divisions and at least played a title game at the end of the season. And even some of those are dubious because you had teams that didn't even have enough money to finish whole seasons.

You could always post pics of your curtains... :O

Probably ADA requirements, but they could have spent a little more and move the wall, or bought new doors. And they take patient complaints very seriously; employee complaints, not so much.

So is Roethlisberger a better QB than Unitas because he has more "legit" championships?

No no! It's the same as a Super Bowl! What don't you see about that!

Guys history doesn't matter. Before I started watching football in 92-93 there were no championships or Super Bowls.

Things change and leagues evolve, that doesn't erase the history. I feel sorry for you guys. I guess only erudite baseball fans can properly look at sports through their most important lens, history.

Don't you mean when you started watching in 2001?

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

no you dont. they talk about pre/post merger wins. superbowls and "nfl championships" aren't grouped togther. sorry brotha!

p.s.

i give you more credit than bob. even though the bears suck dick and will continue to do so with their horrible head coaching hire you still stick around

I liked the hire.

Does MLB even really acknowledge those attempts at a "world series" before 1903?

You won't. This is a guy who squandered hall of game talent in SF and did nothing. What do you think he'll do with mediocre jay cutler and that sorry ass line?

[Jake Tower]

actual championships or the fake ones that took place before the superbowl? the lions have 4 and the eagles have 3. this just sounds wrong and is wrong. say the words out loud. "The detroit lions are 4 time NFL champions". You literally can't say it out loud or type it and have it look correct. Its like me saying 2 + 2 = 5. it's not correct. these dont count

The Greatest Game Ever Played (1958 NFL Championship Game) most certainly counts.

Pre-Super Bowl NFL Championships definitely count. Back when Detroit was winning NFL titles, the 49ers were the Lions of the NFL, until the arrival of Walsh and Montana. Get some historical perspective. Franchises can change.

Also, Super Bowls before the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 weren't NFL Championships. So if you want to bag on a team, it's the Jets, who have actually never won an NFL Championship.

 

[eznark]

They acknowledge the teams but since there was no professional league and no continuous structured schedule (it was mostly just barnstorming), they don't really count any championships won then. The equivalent of MLB wasn't formed until 1902.

 

[Dragon]

Don't you mean when you started watching in 2001?

Yeah you're right. I started watching in the fourth quarter in 2001. Damn that Ricky Proehl. Definitely doesn't like the Pats in the Super Bowl!

Edit: As fans the whole argument about whether or not championships matter really comes down to one thing. Whether or not your team has one. If they do, you'll plead your case,if they don't you won't give a shit.

 

[Spectral Glider]

They were AFL Champs and AFL-NFL Champs. And speaking of Unitas, he was on the team that gave the Jets their only claim to fame, so he should get points deducted just for that!

Sounds a lot like pro football of the 20s and 30s!

Pre SuperBowl doesn't count. The reason is all the best talent wasn't in one league. So who gives a shit if you won a championship when some of the best football players aren't in your league? It's not as impressive without being the best in the world.

So that means several of the Super Bowls of the 1980s don't count? Some of the best pro football players of that time were in the USFL.

No championship ever counts since so much of the best talent is playing in college.

In that case all the World Series' before 1945 were meaningless.
